Isaiah 8
1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Make a large signboard. And write clearly on it, ‘Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz’ [which means ‘quickly (plunder/take by force) and steal everything’].”
И рече ми Господ: Узми књигу велику и напиши у њој писмом човечјим: Брз на плен, хитар на грабеж.
2 [So] I requested Uriah the [Supreme] Priest and Jeberekiah’s son Zechariah, men who were both honest/trustworthy witnesses, to watch me as I was doing that.
И узех верне сведоке, Урију свештеника и Захарију сина Јеверехијиног.
3 Then I had sex with [EUP] [my wife, who was] a prophetess, and she became pregnant and [then] gave birth to a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (which means ‘suddenly attacked, quickly conquered’),
Потом приступих к пророчици, и она затрудне и роди сина. А Господ ми рече: Надени му име: Брз на плен, хитар на грабеж.
4 because before he is old enough to say ‘papa’ or ‘mama’, the King of Assyria will [come with his army and] quickly take away all the valuable things in Damascus and in Samaria.”
Јер пре него дете научи викати: Оче мој и мајко моја, однеће се благо дамаштанско и плен самаријски пред царем асирским.
5 Yahweh spoke to me again and said, “[Tell the people of Judah, ]
И још ми рече Господ говорећи:
6 ‘[I have taken good care of] you people, but you have rejected that, [thinking that] my help was very little, like [MET] the little canal through which water flows from the Gihon Spring into Jerusalem. Instead, you have been happy [to request help from] King Rezin and King Pekah.
Што овај народ не мари за воду силоамску која тече тихо, и радује се Ресину и сину Ремалијином,
7 Therefore, I will cause the people of Judah to be attacked by [the powerful army of] the King of Assyria, which will be [like] a great flood from the [Euphrates] River. Their soldiers will [be everywhere in your country, like] a river that overflows all its banks.
Зато, ево, Господ ће навести на њих воду из реке силну и велику, цара асирског и сву славу његову, те ће изаћи из свих потока својих, и тећи ће поврх свих брегова својих,
8 Those soldiers will go all over Judah— [like a river whose water] [MET] rises as high as a person’s neck. Their army will spread over the land [quickly], like an eagle, and they will cover your entire land! But I will be with you!’”
И навалиће преко Јуде, плавиће и разливаће се и доћи до грла, и крила ће јој се раширити преко свеколике земље твоје, Емануило!
9 Listen, all you [people in] distant countries! [You can] prepare to attack Judah. [You can] prepare [for battle, and shout your] war-cries, but your [armies will] be crushed/shattered!
Здружујте се, народи, али ћете се потрти; чујте сви који сте у далекој земљи: оружајте се, али ћете се потрти; оружајте се, али ћете се потрти.
10 [You can] prepare for what you will do [to attack Judah], but what you plan to do will not happen! You will not succeed, because God is with us!
Договарајте се, договор ће вам се разбити: реците реч, неће бити од ње ништа, јер је с нама Бог.
11 Yahweh strongly warned me [MTY] not to act like the [other] people in Judah did. He said to me,
Јер ми овако рече Господ ухвативши ме за руку и опоменувши ме да не идем путем овог народа, говорећи:
12 “Do not say that everything that people do is conspiring/rebelling [against the government], like [other] people say, and do not (be afraid of/worry about) the things that other people are afraid of.
Не говорите "Буна" кад год овај народ каже "Буна", и не бојте се чега се он боји, и не плашите се.
13 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, am the one you should consider to be holy. And I am the one you should fear, the one you should revere.
Господа над војскама светите; и Он нека вам је страх и бојазан.
14 I will protect you(sg). [But as for] the [other] people [MTY] in Israel and Judah, I will be [like] [MET] a stone that causes people to stumble, a rock that causes them to fall down. [And as for] the people of Jerusalem, I will be [like] [MET] a trap or a snare [DOU].
И биће вам светиња, а камен за спотицање и стена за саблазан обема домовима Израиљевим, замка и мрежа становницима јерусалимским.
15 Many [people] will stumble and fall down and never get up again. They will experience great troubles; they will be captured [by their enemies].”
И спотакнуће се многи и пашће и сатрће се, заплешће се и ухватиће се.
16 [So, I say to you who are my disciples], seal up this scroll on which I have written the messages that God has given to me, and give his instructions to [others] who have accompanied me.
Свежи сведочанство, запечати закон мојим ученицима.
17 I will wait to see what Yahweh [will do]. He has rejected the descendants [MTY] of Jacob, but I will confidently expect him to help me.
Чекаћу дакле Господа, који је сакрио лице своје од дома Јаковљевог, и уздаћу се у Њ.
18 I and the children that Yahweh has given to me are [like] signs to warn [the people of] Israel; we are warnings from the Commander of the armies of angels the one who lives [in his temple] on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem].
Ево ја и деца коју ми је дао Господ јесмо знак и чудо Израиљу од Господа над војскама, који настава на гори Сиону.
19 Some people may urge you(pl) to (consult/go and talk with) those who talk with the spirits of dead people or with those who say that they receive messages from those spirits. They whisper and mutter [about what we should do in the future]. But God is [RHQ] the one whom we should ask to guide us! It is ridiculous [RHQ] for people who are alive to request spirits of dead people to tell us [what we should do]!
И ако вам кажу: Питајте враче и гатаре, који шапћу и мрмљају, реците: Не треба ли народ да пита Бога свог? Или ће питати мртве место живих?
20 Pay attention to God’s instructions and teaching! If people do not say things that agree with what God teaches us, [what they say is worthless]. [It is as though] those people are in darkness.
Закон и сведочанство тражите. Ако ли ко не говори тако, њему нема зоре.
21 They will wander through the land, worried/discouraged and hungry. And when they become [very] hungry, they will become very angry. They will look up [toward heaven] and curse God and [will also] curse their king.
И ходиће по земљи потуцајући се и гладујући; и кад буде гладан, љутиће се и псовати цара свог и Бога свог горе.
22 They will look around the land and see only trouble/distress and darkness and things that cause them to despair. And [then] they will be thrown into the very black darkness [of hell]. (questioned)
А кад погледа на земљу, а то невоља и мрак и тешка мука, и он загнан у таму.
