Isaiah 28
1 Terrible things will happen to [Samaria city, the capital of Israel]! It is on a hill above a fertile valley; the people who live there, who get drunk by drinking too much wine, are very proud; it is a beautiful and glorious city, but some day that beauty will disappear like [MET] a flower that wilts and dries up.
Тешко гиздавом венцу пијаница Јефремових, увелом цвету красног накита њиховог, који су уврх родног дола, пијани од вина!
2 Listen to this: Yahweh will cause a great army to attack Samaria. Their soldiers will be like [SIM] a huge hailstorm [or] a very strong wind; they will be everywhere, like the water of a huge flood, and they will smash to the ground [the buildings in Samaria].
Гле, у Господа има неко јак и силан као пљусак од града, као олуја која све ломи, као поплава силне воде, кад навали, обориће све на земљу руком.
3 The people of Samaria are proud, but everything that the drunks who live there think is wonderful/glorious will be trampled on by their enemies.
Ногама ће се изгазити гиздави венац, пијанице Јефремове.
4 [Yes], Samaria is beautiful, set on a hill above a fertile valley, but that beauty will disappear like [MET] a flower that wilts and dries up. Whenever someone sees a good fig at the beginning of the season [when figs become ripe], he quickly picks and eats it; [similarly, when the enemies of Israel see all the beautiful things in Samaria], [they will quickly conquer the city and take away all those things].
И увели цвет красног накита њиховог, што је уврх родног дола, биће као воће узрело пре лета, које чим ко види, узме у руку и поједе.
5 At that time, the Commander of the armies of angels will be [like] a glorious wreath of flowers for [us] Israeli people who are still alive [after being exiled].
У оно ће време Господ над војскама бити славна круна и дичан венац остатку народа свог,
6 He will cause our judges to want to do what is fair/just when they decide people’s cases. He will enable the soldiers who stand at the city gates to strongly defend [the city when our enemies attack it].
И дух суда ономе који седи да суди, и сила онима који узбијају бој до врата.
7 [But now, ] our leaders stagger/stumble because they have drunk a lot of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks. The priests and prophets also stagger because of drinking a lot of wine and other alcoholic drinks. They are not able to think right; they see visions but they cannot understand what they mean; they are unable to decide things correctly.
Али се и они заносе од вина, и посрћу од силовитог пића: свештеник и пророк заносе се од силовитог пића, освојило их је вино, посрћу од силовитог пића, заносе се у пророковању, спотичу се у суђењу.
8 All their tables are covered with [their] vomit; filth is everywhere.
Јер су сви столови пуни бљувотине и нечистоће, нема места чистог.
9 They ridicule Yahweh saying, “Who does he think that he is teaching? Why is he talking to us like this? [Does he think that] we are little children who have recently been weaned?
Кога ће учити мудрости, и кога ће упутити да разуме науку? Децу, којој се не даје више млеко, која су одбијена од сисе?
10 [He continually tells us], ‘Do this, do that;’ first he tells us one rule, then another rule, he tells us only one line at a time.”
Јер заповест по заповест, заповест по заповест, правило по правило, правило по правило, овде мало, онде мало даваше се.
11 So now, Yahweh will need to force them to listen to [Assyrians] speaking to them in a language that they do not understand.
Зато ће неразумљивом беседом и туђим језиком говорити том народу;
12 Yahweh told his people [long ago], “[This is] a place where you can rest; you are exhausted [from all your travels through the desert], but you will be able to rest [in this land].” But they refused to pay attention to what he said.
Јер им рече: Ово је починак, оставите уморног да почине; ово је одмор; али не хтеше послушати.
13 So Yahweh continues to tell the people of Samaria, one line at a time, “Do this, do that,” first one rule and then another rule. But because [of their ignoring what God said], they will be attacked and defeated; they will be wounded and snared and captured.
И биће им реч Господња, заповест по заповест, заповест по заповест, правило по правило, правило по правило, мало овде, мало онде, да иду и падају наузнако и разбију се, и да се заплету у замке и ухвате.
14 Because of [what will happen in Samaria], you rulers in Jerusalem who make fun of me, listen to this message from Yahweh:
Зато слушајте реч Господњу, људи подсмевачи, који владате народом што је у Јерусалиму.
15 You [boast] saying, “We have made an alliance with [the leaders of Egypt], so we will not be killed [in battles]; we will never go to the place where the dead people are. When the [army of Assyria] attacks us, they will never defeat us, because we have made [an agreement with Egypt] to protect us!” [But that agreement consists of] a lot of lies [DOU]. (Sheol h7585)
Што рекосте: Ухватисмо веру са смрћу, и уговорисмо с гробом; кад зађе бич као поводањ, неће нас дохватити, јер од лажи начинисмо себи уточиште, и за превару заклонисмо се; (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore, Yahweh [our] Lord says this: “Listen to this! I am going to place in Jerusalem [someone who is like] [MET] a foundation stone, [he is like] a stone that has been tested [to determine if it is solid]. [He will be like] a valuable cornerstone around which it will be safe to build a house; and whoever trusts in him will never be disappointed.
Зато овако вели Господ Господ: Ево, ја мећем у Сиону камен, камен изабран, камен од угла, скупоцен, темељ тврд; ко верује неће се плашити.
17 I will test you [people of Jerusalem] to find out if you will act justly and righteously [like] [MET] someone uses a plumb line [to determine if a wall is straight and vertical]. But because your agreement [with Egypt] to protect you [was made by leaders] lying to each other and deceiving each other, you will be defeated and taken away [from your country] by [an army that will come against you like] [MET] a flood.
И извршићу суд по правилу и правду по мерилима; и град ће потрти лажно уточиште и вода ће потопити заклон.
18 I will annul/destroy the agreement that you made [with the leaders of Egypt]. You thought that [because of that agreement] you would not be killed, and you would not go to the place where the dead are. [But] when the vast [army of Assyria] overwhelms you like a flood, they will trample you into the ground. (Sheol h7585)
И вера ваша са смрћу уништиће се, и уговор ваш с гробом неће остати, а кад зађе бич као поводањ, потлачиће вас. (Sheol h7585)
19 Their soldiers will come during the morning, at noontime, and at night, and they will carry you all away.” And when you understand this message, you will be terrified.
Чим зађе, однеће вас, јер ће залазити свако јутро, дању и ноћу, и кад се чује вика, биће сам страх.
20 [You have heard people say], “Your bed is very short, you will not be able to sleep in it; your blankets are very narrow; they will not cover you!” [That means for you that your agreement with Egypt is not going to save you].
Јер ће одар бити кратак да се човек не може пружити, и покривач узак да се не може умотати.
21 Yahweh will come [and cause you to be defeated]; he will do to you like he did to the army of Philistia at Perizim Mountain and like he did to the Amor people-group at Gibeon Valley. What he will do will be [very] strange and unusual [DOU].
Јер ће Господ устати као на гори Ферасиму, разгневиће се као у долу гаваонском, да учини дело своје, необично дело своје, да сврши посао свој, необичан посао свој.
22 The Commander of the armies of angels has told me that he is going to destroy the entire land. So do not ridicule [what I say any more], because if you do that he will punish you [even] more severely.
Немојте се дакле више подсмевати да не постану јачи окови ваши, јер чух од Господа Господа над војскама погибао одређену свој земљи.
23 Listen [IDM] to what I say; pay attention carefully.
Слушајте, и чујте глас мој, пазите и чујте беседу моју.
24 When a farmer plows some ground, does he never plant seeds [RHQ]? Does he continue to plow it and never plant anything [RHQ]?
Оре ли орач сваки дан да посеје? Или бразди и повлачи њиву своју?
25 No, he makes the ground very level, and then he plants seeds— dill and cumin and wheat and barley. He plants each kind of seed in the correct manner.
Кад поравни одозго, не сеје ли грахор и ким? И не меће ли пшеницу на најбоље место, и јечам на згодно место, и крупник на његово место?
26 [He does that] because God has taught him the correct way to do it.
И Бог га његов учи и упућује како ће радити.
27 [Farmers] never thresh caraway/dill with a heavy sledge/club; instead, they beat it only with a stick. [Farmers] never thresh cumin by driving a cart over it; instead, they hit it [only] with a rod.
Јер се грахор не врше браном, нити се точак колски обрће по киму, него се цепом млати грахор и ким прутом.
28 And grain for baking bread is crushed easily, so the farmers do not continue to pound it for a long time. They sometimes cause their horses to pull a cart over it [to thresh it], [but] doing that does not grind the grain.
Пшеница се врше, али неће једнако врећи нити ће је сатрти точком колским на зупцима раздробити.
29 The Commander of the armies of angels gives [us] wonderful advice [about how to do things]; he causes [us] to be very wise. [So what the farmers do is very smart/wise, but what your leaders are doing is very stupid].
И то долази од Господа над војскама, који је диван у савету, велик у мудрости.
