Isaiah 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 In the days of Ahaz, king of Judah, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, king of Israel, son of Remaliah, went up to attack Jerusalem, but they were not able to conquer it.	1 U dane judejskoga kralja Ahaza, sina Jotamova, sina Uzijina, aramski kralj Rason i izraelski kralj Pekah, sin Remalijin, zavojštiše na Jeruzalem, ali ga ne mogoše zauzeti.
2 When word came to the house of David that Aram was encamped in Ephraim, the heart of the king and heart of the people trembled, as the trees of the forest tremble in the wind.	2 Tada dojaviše domu Davidovu: »Aramci se utaborili u Efrajimu.« Na tu vijest uzdrhta srce kraljevo i srce svega naroda, kao što u šumi drveće ustrepti od vjetra.
3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah: Go out to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-jashub, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field,	3 I Jahve reče Izaiji: »Iziđi pred Ahaza, ti i sin tvoj Šear Jašub, do nakraj vodovoda gornjeg ribnjaka na putu u Valjarevo polje.
4 and say to him: Take care you remain tranquil and do not fear; let not your courage fail before these two stumps of smoldering brands (the blazing anger of Rezin and the Arameans, and of the son of Remaliah),	4 Reci mu: ‘Pazi, smiri se, ne boj se, i nek’ ti ne premire srce od ovih dvaju ugaraka zadimljenih, od raspaljenog bijesa Rasona aramskog i sina Remalijina,
5 because of the mischief that Aram (Ephraim and the son of Remaliah) plots against you, saying,	5 jer Aram, Efrajim i sin Remalijin smisliše tvoju propast.’
6 "Let us go up and tear Judah asunder, make it our own by force, and appoint the son of Tabeel king there."	6 Pođimo, rekoše, na Judeju, uplašimo je i osvojimo da u njoj zakraljimo sina Tabelova.
7 Thus says the LORD: This shall not stand, it shall not be!	7 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: ‘To se neće zbiti: toga biti neće!
8 Damascus is the capital of Aram, and Rezin the head of Damascus; Samaria is the capital of Ephraim, and Remaliah's son the head of Samaria.	8 <8a>Damask je glava Aramcima, a Damasku je glava Rason;
9 But within sixty years and five, Ephraim shall be crushed, no longer a nation. Unless your faith is firm you shall not be firm!	9 <9a>Samarija je glava Efrajimcima, a Samariji glava je Remalija. <8b>Još šezdeset i pet godina, i Efrajim, razoren, neće više biti narod. <9b>Ako se na me ne oslonite, održat’ se nećete!’«
10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz:	10 Jahve opet progovori Ahazu i reče mu:
11 Ask for a sign from the LORD, your God; let it be deep as the nether world, or high as the sky!	11 »Zaišti od Jahve, Boga svoga, jedan znak za sebe iz dubine podzemlja ili gore iz visina.«
12 But Ahaz answered, "I will not ask! I will not tempt the LORD!"	12 Ali Ahaz odgovori: »Ne, neću iskati i neću iskušavati Jahvu.«
13 Then he said: Listen, O house of David! Is it not enough for you to weary men, must you also weary my God?	13 Tada reče Izaija: »Čujte, dome Davidov! Zar vam je malo dodijavati ljudima, pa i Bogu mom dodijavate!
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.	14 Zato, sâm će vam Gospodin dati znak: Evo, začet će djevica i roditi sina i nadjenut će mu ime Emanuel!
15 He shall be living on curds and honey by the time he learns to reject the bad and choose the good.	15 Vrhnjem i medom on će se hraniti dok ne nauči odbacivat’ zlo i birati dobro.
16 For before the child learns to reject the bad and choose the good, the land of those two kings whom you dread shall be deserted.	16 Jer prije nego dječak nauči odbacivat’ zlo i birati dobro, opustjet će zemlja, zbog koje strepiš, od dvaju kraljeva.
17 The LORD shall bring upon you and your people and your father's house days worse than any since Ephraim seceded from Judah. (This means the king of Assyria.)	17 Protiv tebe i protiv tvog naroda i protiv kuće oca tvojega dovest će Jahve dane kakvih ne bijaše otkad se Efrajim odvoji od Jude – kralja asirskoga.
18 On that day The LORD shall whistle for the fly that is in the farthest streams of Egypt, and for the bee in the land of Assyria.	18 U dan onaj zazviždat će Jahve muhama na ušću egipatskih rijeka i pčelama u zemlji asirskoj
19 All of them shall come and settle in the steep ravines and in the rocky clefts, on all thornbushes and in all pastures.	19 da dođu i popadaju po strmim dolovima, po rasjelinama stijena, po svim trnjacima i svim pojilištima.
20 On that day the LORD shall shave with the razor hired from across the River (with the king of Assyria) the head, and the hair between the legs. It shall also shave off the beard.	20 U dan onaj Gospod će obrijati britvom najmljenom s onu stranu Eufrata – kraljem asirskim – kosu s glave, dlake s nogu i bradu s obraza.
21 On that day a man shall keep a heifer or a couple of sheep,	21 U dan onaj svatko će hraniti po kravu i dvije ovce
22 and from their abundant yield of milk he shall live on curds; curds and honey shall be the food of all who remain in the land.	22 i od obilja mlijeka koje će mu dati hranit će se vrhnjem; vrhnjem i medom hranit će se koji god u zemlji preostanu.
23 On that day every place where there used to be a thousand vines, worth a thousand pieces of silver, shall be turned to briers and thorns.	23 U dan onaj gdje god bijaše tisuću čokota, vrijednih tisuću srebrnika, izrast će drač i trnje.
24 Men shall go there with bow and arrows; for all the country shall be briers and thorns.	24 Onamo će polaziti sa strijelom i lukom, jer sva će zemlja u drač i trnje zarasti.
25 For fear of briers and thorns you shall not go upon any mountainside which used to be hoed with the mattock; they shall be grazing land for cattle and shall be trampled upon by sheep.	25 A po svim gorama gdje se motikom kopalo nitko više neće ići, strašeći se trnja i drača: onuda će goveda pasti i gaziti ovce.«
