Isaiah 1

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Viđenje Izaije, sina Amosova, koje je imao o Judeji i Jeruzalemu u dane Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

Čujte, nebesa, poslušaj, zemljo, jer Jahve govori: "Sinove sam ti odgojio, podigao, al' se oni od mene odvrgoše.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Vo poznaje svog vlasnika, a magarac jasle gospodareve - Izrael ne poznaje, narod moj ne razumije."

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Jao, grešna li naroda, puka u zlu ogrezla, roda zlikovačkog, pokvarenih sinova! Jahvu ostaviše, prezreše Sveca Izraelova, njemu su okrenuli leđa.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

TÓa gdje da vas još udarim, odmetnici tvrdokorni? Sva je glava bolna, srce iznemoglo;

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

od pete do glave nidje zdrava mjesta, već ozljede, modrice, otvorene rane, ni očišćene, ni povijene, ni uljem ublažene.

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

Zemlja vam opustje, gradove oganj popali, njive vam na oči haraju tuđinci - pustoš k'o kad propade Sodoma.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

Kći sionska ostade kao koliba u vinogradu, kao pojata u polju krastavaca, kao grad opsjednut.

Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

Da nam Jahve nad Vojskama ne ostavi Ostatak, bili bismo k'o Sodoma, Gomori slični.

Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

Čujte riječ Jahvinu, glavari sodomski, poslušaj zakon Boga našega, narode gomorski!

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

"Što će mi mnoštvo žrtava vaših?" - govori Jahve. - "Sit sam ovnujskih paljenica i pretiline gojne teladi. I krv mi se ogadi bikova, janjaca i jaradi.

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

Kad mi lice vidjet' dolazite, tko od vas ište da gazite mojim predvorjima?

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Prestanite mi nositi ništavne prinose, kad mi omrznu. Mlađaka, subote i sazive - ne podnosim zborovanja i opačine.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

Mlađake i svetkovine vaše iz sve duše mrzim - teški su mi, podnijet' ih ne mogu!

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Kad na molitvu ruke širite, je od vas oči odvraćam. Molitve samo množite, ja vas ne slušam. Ruke su vam u krvi ogrezle,

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

operite se, očistite. Uklonite mi s očiju djela opaka, prestanite zlo činiti!

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Učite se dobrim djelima: pravdi težite, ugnjetenom pritecite u pomoć, siroti pomozite do pravde, za udovu se zauzmite."

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

"Hajde, dakle, da se pravdamo," govori Jahve. "Budu l' vam grijesi kao grimiz, pobijeljet će poput snijega; kao purpur budu li crveni, postat će kao vuna.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Htjednete l' me poslušati, uživat ćete plodove zemaljske.

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

U buntovništvu ako ustrajete, proždrijet će vas mač." Tako usta Jahvina govorahu.

How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

Kako li posta bludnicom tvrđa vjerna? Bješe puna pravičnosti, pravda u njoj stolovala, a sad - ubojice.

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

Srebro ti se u trosku obratilo, vino ti se razvodnjelo.

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

Knezovi se tvoji odmetnuli, s tatima se pobratili. Svi za mitom hlepe, za darovima lete. Siroti pravdu uskraćuju, udovička parnica ne stiže k njima.

Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

Stog ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama, Junak Izraelov: "Ah, kad se iskalim na protivnicima i osvetim dušmanima!

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

Kada na te ruku pružim, da lužinom tvoju trosku očistim, da iz tebe uklonim olovo!

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

Da ti opet postavim suce kao negda, savjetnike kao u početku, pa da te zovu Gradom pravednim, Tvrđom vjernosti."

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

Sud pravedni otkupit će Sion, a pravda obraćenike njegove.

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

Otpadnici i grešnici skršit će se zajedno, a oni što Jahvu napuštaju poginut će.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

Da, stidjet ćete se zbog hrastova što ih sad obožavate i crvenjet ćete zbog gajeva u kojima sad uživate.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

Jer, bit ćete poput hrasta osušena lišća i poput gaja u kojem vode nema.

And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

Junak će biti kučina, a iskra djelo njegovo, zajedno će izgorjeti, a nikoga da ugasi.
