Isaiah 1
1 [I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
Утвара Исаије сина Амосовог, коју виде за Јуду и за Јерусалим за времена Озије, Јоатама, Ахаза и Језекије, царева Јудиних.
2 This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
Чујте, небеса, и слушај, земљо; јер Господ говори: Синове одгојих и подигох, а они се окренуше од мене.
3 Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
Во познаје господара свог и магарац јасле господара свог, а Израиљ не познаје, народ мој не разуме.
4 Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
Да грешног народа! Народа огрезлог у безакоњу! Семена зликовачког, синова покварених! Оставише Господа, презреше Свеца Израиљевог, одступише натраг.
5 Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
Што бисте још били бијени кад се све више одмећете? Сва је глава болесна и све срце изнемогло.
6 [It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
Од пете до главе нема ништа здраво, него убој и модрице и ране гнојаве, ни исцеђене ни завијене ни уљем заблажене.
7 [It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
Земља је ваша пуста, градови ваши огњем попаљени; ваше њиве једу туђини на ваше очи, и пустош је као што опустошавају туђини.
8 The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
И оста кћи сионска као колиба у винограду, као сеница у градини од краставаца, као град опкољен.
9 If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
Да нам Господ над војскама није оставио мало остатка, били бисмо као Содом, изједначили бисмо се с Гомором.
10 You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
Чујте реч Господњу, кнезови содомски, послушајте закон Бога нашег, народе гоморски!
11 He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
Шта ће ми мноштво жртава ваших? Вели Господ. Сит сам жртава паљеница од овнова и претилине од гојене стоке, и не марим за крв јунчију и јагњећу и јарећу.
12 When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
Кад долазите да се покажете преда мном, ко иште то од вас, да газите по мом трему?
13 Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
Не приносите више жртве залудне; на кад гадим се; а о младинама и суботама и о сазивању скупштине не могу подносити безакоња и светковине.
14 I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
На младине ваше и на празнике ваше мрзи душа моја, досадише ми, додија ми подносити.
15 [So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
Зато кад ширите руке своје, заклањам очи своје од вас; и кад множите молитве, не слушам; руке су ваше пуне крви.
16 Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
Умијте се, очистите се, уклоните злоћу дела својих испред очију мојих, престаните зло чинити.
17 Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
Учите се добро чинити, тражите правду, исправљајте потлаченог, дајите правицу сиротој, браните удовицу.
18 Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
Тада дођите, вели Господ, па ћемо се судити: ако греси ваши буду као скерлет, постаће бели као снег; ако буду црвени као црвац, постаће као вуна.
19 If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
Ако хоћете слушати, добро земаљско јешћете.
20 But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Ако ли нећете, него будете непокорни, мач ће вас појести, јер уста Господња рекоше.
21 “[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
Како поста курва верни град? Пун беше правице, правда наставаше у њему, а сада крвници.
22 Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
Сребро твоје поста троска, вино твоје помеша се с водом.
23 Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
Кнезови су твоји одметници и другови лупежима; сваки милује мито и иде за даровима; сиротој не дају правице, и парница удовичка не долази пред њих.
24 Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
Зато говори Господ, Господ над војскама, силни Израиљев: Аха! Разрачунаћу се са противницима својим, и осветићу се непријатељима својим.
25 I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
И окренућу руку своју на те, и сажећи ћу троске твоје да те пречистим, и уклонићу све олово твоје.
26 [After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
И поставићу ти опет судије као пре, и саветнике као испочетка; тада ћеш се звати град праведни, град верни.
27 Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
Сион ће се откупити судом, и правдом они који се у њ врате.
28 But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
А одметници и грешници сви ће се сатрти, и који остављају Господа, изгинуће.
29 You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
Јер ћете се посрамити од гајева које желесте, и застидети се од вртова које изабрасте.
30 You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
Јер ћете бити као храст коме опада лишће и као врт у коме нема воде.
31 Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
И биће јунак као кучине и дело његово као искра, и обоје ће се запалити, и неће бити никога да угаси.
