Isaija 29
1 Teško Arilu, Arilu, gradu gdje je stajao David. Dodajte godinu na godinu, neka kolju žrtve prazniène.
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, The city where David dwelt! Add year to year, Let the festivals go round,
2 Ali æu pritijesniti Arila, i biæe žalost i tuga, jer æe mi biti kao Aril.
Then will I distress Ariel; Mourning and sorrow shall be there; Yet shall she be to me as Ariel [[the lion of God]].
3 Jer æu te opkoliti vojskom, i stegnuæu te opkopima i podignuæu suprot tebi kule.
I will encamp against thee round about, And I will lay siege against thee with a mound, And I will raise towers against thee.
4 Te æeš oboren govoriti sa zemlje i iz praha æeš mucati, i glas æe ti biti sa zemlje kao u bajaèa i iz praha æeš šapæuæi govoriti.
Thou shalt be brought down, and speak from the ground, And thy speech shall be low from the dust; Thy voice shall be like that of a spirit under ground, And thy speech shall chirp as from the dust.
5 A mnoštvo neprijatelja tvojih biæe kao sitan prah i mnoštvo nasilnika kao pljeva kad se razmeæe; i to æe biti zaèas, iznenada.
Yet shall the multitude of thine enemies be like fine dust; The multitude of the terrible like flying chaff; It shall take place suddenly, in a moment.
6 Gospod nad vojskama pohodiæe ga gromom i trusom i hukom velikom, vihorom i burom i plamenom ognjenijem koji proždire.
From Jehovah of hosts cometh the visitation With thunder, and earthquake, and great noise, With storm and tempest, And flames of devouring fire.
7 I mnoštvo svijeh naroda koji vojuju na Aril i svi koji udaraju na nj i na zidove njegove i koji ga pritješnjuju, biæe kao utvara noæna u snu.
As a dream, a vision of the night, Shall be the multitude of all the nations That fight against Ariel, That fight against her and her fortress, And distress her.
8 Biæe kao kad gladan sni da jede, pa kad se probudi a duša mu prazna; ili kad sni žedan da pije, pa kad se probudi, a on iznemogao i duša mu žedna; tako æe biti mnoštvo svijeh naroda što vojuju na goru Sionsku.
As a hungry man dreameth, and lo! he eateth, But awaketh and is still hungry; And as a thirsty man dreameth, and lo! he drinketh, But awaketh, and lo! he is faint and thirsty; So shall it be with the multitude of all the nations That fight against mount Zion.
9 Stanite i èudite se; vapijte i vièite: pijani su, ali ne od vina; posræu, ali ne od silovita piæa.
Be in amazement and be amazed! Be blinded and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; They stagger, but not with strong drink!
10 Jer je Gospod izlio na vas duh tvrdoga sna i zatvorio vam oèi, oslijepio proroke i vidioce, glavare vaše.
For Jehovah hath poured upon you a spirit of slumber; He hath closed your eyes, the prophets, And covered your heads, the seers;
11 I svaka utvara biæe vam kao rijeèi u zapeèaæenoj knjizi, koju dadu èovjeku koji zna èitati govoreæi: èitaj to; a on reèe: ne mogu, jer je zapeèaæeno.
And so every vision is to you as the words of a sealed book, Which is given to a man that is skilled in writing, Saying, “Read this, I pray thee”; But he answereth, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”
12 Ili da dadu knjigu onom koji ne zna èitati govoreæi: èitaj to; a on reèe: ne znam èitati.
Or, if he give it to one that is not skilled in writing, Saying, “Read this, I pray thee,” He answereth, “I am not skilled in writing.”
13 Zato reèe Gospod: što se ovaj narod približuje ustima svojima i usnama svojim poštuje me, a srce im daleko stoji od mene, i strah kojim me se boje zapovijest je ljudska kojoj su nauèeni,
Therefore saith the Lord, Since this people draweth near to me with their mouth, And honoreth me with their lips, While their heart is far from me, And their worship of me is according to the commandments of men,
14 Zato æu evo još raditi èudesno s tijem narodom, èudesno i divno, i mudrost mudrijeh njegovijeh poginuæe i razuma razumnijeh nestaæe.
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to deal marvellously with this people; Marvellously and wonderfully, For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the prudence of the prudent shall be hid.
15 Teško onima koji duboko sakrivaju od Gospoda namjeru, koji rade u mraku i govore: ko nas vidi? i ko nas zna?
Woe to them that hide deep their purposes from Jehovah, Whose work is in darkness; That say, Who seeth us? Who knoweth us?
16 Naopake misli vaše nijesu li kao kao lonèarski? Govori li djelo za onoga koji ga je naèinio: nije me naèinio? i lonac govori li za onoga koji ga je naèinio: ne razumije?
Alas, your perverseness! Is the potter to be esteemed as the clay, That the work should say of its maker, He made me not? And the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?
17 Neæe li se doskora i Livan pretvoriti u polje, i polje se uzimati za šumu?
Is it not yet a very little while, And Lebanon shall be changed to a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed a forest.
18 I u taj æe dan gluhi èuti rijeèi u knjizi, i iz tame i mraka vidjeæe oèi slijepijeh.
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, And out of mist and darkness shall the eyes of the blind see.
19 I krotki æe se veoma radovati u Gospodu, i ništi izmeðu ljudi veseliæe se sa sveca Izrailjeva.
The afflicted shall exceedingly rejoice in Jehovah, And the poor shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Jer nasilnika neæe biti, i nestaæe potsmjevaèa, i istrijebiæe se svi koji gledaju da èine bezakonje,
For the oppressor hath come to naught; the scoffer is destroyed; And all that watched for iniquity are cut off;
21 Koji okrivljuju èovjeka za rijeè, i meæu zamku onome koji kara na vratima, i obaraju pravednoga lažju.
Who condemned a man in his cause, And laid snares for him who defended himself in the gate, And with falsehood caused the righteous to fail.
22 Zato Gospod, koji je otkupio Avrama, ovako govori za dom Jakovljev: neæe se više Jakov postidjeti, niti æe mu lice poblijedjeti.
Therefore concerning the house of Jacob thus saith Jehovah, He that redeemed Abraham: No more shall Jacob be ashamed, And no more shall his face grow pale.
23 Jer kad vidi usred sebe djecu svoju, djelo ruku mojih, tada æe oni svetiti ime moje, svetiæe sveca Jakovljeva i bojaæe se Boga Izrailjeva.
For when his children behold the work of my hands in the midst of them, They shall honor my name. They shall honor the Holy One of Jacob, And reverence the God of Israel.
24 I koji lutaju duhom orazumiæe se, i vikaèi æe primiti nauku.
They that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, And the obstinate shall receive instruction.
