Isaiah 66

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Thus says the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What is this house that you would build for me? And what is this place of my rest?	1 Ovako govori Jahve: »Nebesa su moje prijestolje, a zemlja podnožje nogama! Kakvu kuću da mi sagradite i gdje da bude mjesto mog prebivališta?
2 My hand has made all these things, and all these things have been made, says the Lord. But upon whom will I look with favor, except upon a poor little one, who is contrite in spirit, and who trembles at my words?	2 Ta sve je moja ruka načinila i sve je moje« – riječ je Jahvina. »Ali na koga svoj pogled svraćam? Na siromaha i čovjeka duha ponizna koji od moje riječi dršće.«
3 Whoever immolates an ox, it is as if he slaughters a man. Whoever sacrifices a sheep, it is as if he is smashing the head of a dog. Whoever offers an oblation, it is as if he is offering swine’s blood. Whoever makes remembrance with incense, it is as if he is blessing an idol. All these things, they have chosen according to their own ways, and their soul has taken delight in their own abominations.	3 »Ima ih koji kolju bika, ali i ljude ubijaju; žrtvuju ovcu, ali i psu vrat lome. Netko prinosi žrtvu, ali i krv svinjsku; prinose kâd, ali časte i kipove. Kao što oni izabraše svoje putove i duši im se mile gnusobe njihove,
4 Therefore, I also will choose their illusions, and I will lead over them the things that they feared. For I called, and there was no one who would respond. I have spoken, and they have not listened. And they have done evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, they have chosen.	4 tako ću i ja izabrati za njih nevolje nesmiljene, pustit ću na njih ono čega se plaše. Jer zvao sam, a nitko se ne odazva, govorio sam, a nitko ne posluša, nego su činili što je zlo u očima mojim, izabrali ono što mi nije po volji.«
5 Listen to the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word. Your brothers, who hate you and who cast you out because of my name, have said: “Let the Lord be glorified, and we will see by your rejoicing.” But they themselves will be confounded.	5 Poslušajte riječ Jahvinu, vi koji od njegove riječi dršćete. »Govore braća vaša koja na vas mrze i odbacuju vas radi moga imena: ‘Neka se proslavi Jahve, pa da radost vašu vidimo.’ Ali oni će biti postiđeni.«
6 A voice of the people from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord repaying retribution to his enemies!	6 Čuj! Buka iz grada, glas iz Hrama! Glas je to Jahve koji uzvraća svojim neprijateljima.
7 Before she was in labor, she gave birth. Before her time arrived for delivery, she gave birth to a male child.	7 Prije neg’ bolove oćutje, eto je rodila. Prije neg’ trudove osjeti, porodi dječaka.
8 Who has ever heard of such a thing? And who has seen anything like this? Will the earth give birth in one day? Or will a nation be born all at once? For Zion has been in labor, and she has given birth to her sons.	8 Tko je takvo što čuo, tko je takvo što vidio? Može li se zemlja u jednom danu napučiti? Može li se narod odjednom roditi? A tek što je osjetila trudove, Sionka rodi sinove!
9 Will I, who causes others to give birth, not also give birth myself, says the Lord? Will I, who bestows generation upon others, be barren myself, says the Lord your God?	9 »Zar bih ja otvorio krilo materino a da ono ne rodi?« – govori Jahve. »Zar bih ja, koji dajem rađanje, zatvorio maternicu?« – kaže Bog tvoj.
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and exult in her, all you who love her! Rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her!	10 Veselite se s Jeruzalemom, kličite zbog njega svi koji ga ljubite! Radujte se, radujte s njime svi koji ste nad njim tugovali!
11 So may you nurse and be filled, from the breasts of her consolations. So may you receive milk and overflow with delights, from every portion of her glory.	11 Nadojite se i nasitite na dojkama utjehe njegove da se nasišete i nasladite na grudima krepčine njegove.
12 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will turn a river of peace toward her, with an inundating torrent: the glory of the Gentiles, from which you will nurse. You will be carried at the breasts, and they will caress you upon the knees.	12 Jer ovako govori Jahve: »Evo, mir ću na njih kao rijeku svratiti i kao potok nabujali bogatstvo naroda. Dojenčad ću njegovu na rukama nositi i milovati na koljenima.
13 In the manner of one whom a mother caresses, so will I console you. And you will be consoled in Jerusalem.	13 Kao što mati tješi sina, tako ću i ja vas utješiti – utješit ćete se u Jeruzalemu.«
14 You will see, and your heart will be glad, and your bones will flourish like a plant, and the hand of the Lord will be known to his servants, and he will be angry with his enemies.	14 Kad to vidite, srce će vam se radovati i procvast će vam kosti k’o mlada trava. Očitovat će se ruka Jahvina na njegovim slugama i gnjev nad neprijateljima njegovim.
15 For behold, the Lord will arrive with fire, and his four-horse chariots will be like a whirlwind: to render his wrath with indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.	15 Jer, evo, dolazi Jahve s ognjem – bojna su mu kola poput vihora – da u jarosti gnjev svoj iskali i prijetnje svoje u ognju žarkome.
16 For the Lord will divide with fire, and with his sword among all flesh, and those slain by the Lord will be many.	16 Da, sudit će Jahve ognjem i mačem svakom smrtniku: pobijenih Jahvinih mnoštvo će biti.
17 Those who were sanctified, who thought themselves to be clean in the gardens behind the inner gate, who were eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they will be consumed all at once, says the Lord.	17 Oni koji se posvećuju i čiste u vrtovima iza onog jednog u sredini, koji jedu svinjetinu, nečisto i miševe – svi će zajedno izginuti, riječ je Jahvina.
18 But I know their works and their thoughts. I am arriving, so that I may gather them together with all nations and languages. And they will approach, and they will see my glory.	18 Ja dobro poznajem njihova djela i namjere njihove. »Dolazim da saberem sve puke i jezike, i oni će doći i vidjeti moju slavu!
19 And I will set a sign among them. And I will send some of those who will have been saved to the Gentiles in the sea, to Africa, and to those who draw the bow in Lydia, to Italy and Greece, to islands far away, to those who have not heard of me, and to those who have not seen my glory. And they will announce my glory to the Gentiles.	19 Postavit ću im znak i poslat ću preživjele od njih k narodima u Taršiš, Put, Lud, Mošek, Roš, Tubal i Javan – k dalekim otocima koji nisu čuli glasa o meni ni vidjeli moje slave – i oni će naviještati slavu moju narodima.
20 And they will lead all of your brothers from all of the Gentiles as a gift to the Lord, on horses, and in four-horse chariots, and on stretchers, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, in the same manner that the sons of Israel would carry an offering in a pure vessel into the house of the Lord.	20 I dovest će svu vašu braću između svih naroda kao prinos Jahvi – na konjima, na bojnim kolima, nosilima, na mazgama i jednogrbim devama – na svetu goru svoju u Jeruzalemu« – govori Jahve – »kao što sinovi Izraelovi prinose prinos u čistim posudama u domu Jahvinu.
21 And I will take from them to be priests and Levites, says the Lord.	21 I uzet ću sebi između njih svećenike, levite« – govori Jahve.
22 For in like manner as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will cause to stand before me, says the Lord, so will your offspring and your name stand.	22 »Jer, kao što će nova nebesa i zemlja nova, koju ću stvoriti, trajati preda mnom« – riječ je Jahvina – »tako će vam ime i potomstvo trajati.
23 And there will be month after month, and Sabbath after Sabbath. And all flesh will approach, so as to adore before my face, says the Lord.	23 Od mlađaka do mlađaka, od subote do subote, dolazit će svi ljudi da se poklone pred licem mojim« – govori Jahve.
24 And they will go out, and they will view the carcasses of the men who have transgressed against me. Their worm will not die, and their fire will not be extinguished. And they will be a sight to all flesh even unto revulsion.	24 »Izlazeći, gledat ću trupla ljudi koji se od mene odmetnuše: crv njihov neće umrijeti i njihov se oganj neće ugasiti – bit će na gadost svim ljudima.«
