Isaiah 17

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

Proroštvo o Damasku. Gle, prestat će Damask biti gradom i postat će hrpom ruševina;

The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

njegovi gradići, dovijek napušteni, bit će pašnjak stadima; ležat će u njima i nitko ih neće tjerati.

The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

Izgubit će Efrajim utvrde, a Damask kraljevstvo; ostatku Arama zbit će se što i slavi sinova Izraelovih - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.

And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

U onaj dan smanjit će se slava Jakovljeva, spast će salo tijela njegova.

And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

Bit će k'o kad žetelac žito hvata, a ruka mu žanje klasje, kao kad se pabirče klasovi u refajimskoj dolini -

Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.

ostat će samo pabirci; ili kao kad se otresa maslina: dvije-tri uljike sasvim na vrhu, četiri ili pet na granama drveta - riječ je Jahve, Boga Izraelova.

At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

U onaj dan čovjek će pogledati na svog Stvoritelja i upraviti oči k Svecu Izraelovu.

And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.

Neće više gledati žrtvenika, djela svojih ruku, neće više gledati onoga što njegovi prsti stvoriše: ašere i sunčane stupove.

In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

U onaj će dan gradovi tvoji biti napušteni, kao što bjehu napušteni hivijski i amorejski kad ih ostaviše pred Izraelcima, i opustjet će,

Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:

jer si zaboravio Boga svog spasenja i nisi se spomenuo Stijene svoje snage. Stog' i sadiš ljupke biljke i strane presađuješ mladice;

In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

u dan kad ih posadiš, one izrastu, a ujutro procvatu tvoje sadnice, al' propada žetva u dan nevolje, u dan boli neizlječive.

Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

Jao, buka naroda mnogobrojnih; buče kao što buči more; šum naroda koji šume k'o što šumore silne vode.

The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

Šume narodi kao što silne vode šumore, al' kad On im zaprijeti, bježe daleko, po gorama razvijani kao pljeva na vjetru, k'o prašina u vihoru.

And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.

Navečer eto straha; prije svanuća više ga nema: to je sudba onih koji nas plijene i kob onih što nas pljačkaju.
