Izaija 1

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Viđenje Izaije, sina Amosova, koje je imao o Judeji i Jeruzalemu u dane Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih.	1 The vision which Isaiah, son of Amoz, had concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Čujte, nebesa, poslušaj, zemljo, jer Jahve govori: »Sinove sam ti odgojio, podigao, al’ se oni od mene odvrgoše.	2 Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth, for the LORD speaks: Sons have I raised and reared, but they have disowned me!
3 Vol poznaje svog vlasnika, a magarac jasle gospodareve – Izrael ne poznaje, narod moj ne razumije.«	3 An ox knows its owner, and an ass, its master's manger; But Israel does not know, my people has not understood.
4 Jao, grešna li naroda, puka u zlu ogrezla, roda zlikovačkog, pokvarenih sinova! Jahvu ostaviše, prezreše Sveca Izraelova, njemu su okrenuli leđa.	4 Ah! sinful nation, people laden with wickedness, evil race, corrupt children! They have forsaken the LORD, spurned the Holy One of Israel, apostatized.
5 Ta gdje da vas još udarim, odmetnici tvrdokorni? Sva je glava bolna, srce iznemoglo;	5 Where would you yet be struck, you that rebel again and again? The whole head is sick, the whole heart faint.
6 od pete do glave nigdje zdrava mjesta, već ozljede, modrice, otvorene rane, ni očišćene, ni povijene, ni uljem ublažene.	6 From the sole of the foot to the head there is no sound spot: Wound and welt and gaping gash, not drained, or bandaged, or eased with salve.
7 Zemlja vam opustje, gradove oganj popali, njive vam na oči haraju tuđinci – pustoš k’o kad propade Sodoma.	7 Your country is waste, your cities burnt with fire; Your land before your eyes strangers devour (a waste, like Sodom overthrown)--
8 Kći sionska ostade kao koliba u vinogradu, kao pojata u polju krastavaca, kao grad opsjednut.	8 And daughter Zion is left like a hut in a vineyard, Like a shed in a melon patch, like a city blockaded.
9 Da nam Jahve nad vojskama ne ostavi Ostatak, bili bismo k’o Sodoma, Gomori slični.	9 Unless the LORD of hosts had left us a scanty remnant, We had become as Sodom, we should be like Gomorrah.
10 Čujte riječ Jahvinu, glavari sodomski, poslušaj zakon Boga našega, narode gomorski!	10 Hear the word of the LORD, princes of Sodom! Listen to the instruction of our God, people of Gomorrah!
11 »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.	11 What care I for the number of your sacrifices? says the LORD. I have had enough of whole-burnt rams and fat of fatlings; In the blood of calves, lambs and goats I find no pleasure.
12 Kad mi lice vidjet’ dolazite, tko od vas ište da gazite mojim predvorjima?	12 When you come in to visit me, who asks these things of you?
13 Prestanite mi nositi ništavne prinose, kâd mi omrznu. Mlađaka, subote i sazive – ne podnosim zborovanja i opačine.	13 Trample my courts no more! Bring no more worthless offerings; your incense is loathsome to me. New moon and sabbath, calling of assemblies, octaves with wickedness: these I cannot bear.
14 Mlađake i svetkovine vaše iz sve duše mrzim – teški su mi, podnijet’ ih ne mogu!	14 Your new moons and festivals I detest; they weigh me down, I tire of the load.
15 Kad na molitvu ruke širite, ja od vas oči odvraćam. Molitve samo množite, ja vas ne slušam. Ruke su vam u krvi ogrezle,	15 When you spread out your hands, I close my eyes to you; Though you pray the more, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood!
16 operite se, očistite. Uklonite mi s očiju djela opaka, prestanite zlo činiti!	16 Wash yourselves clean! Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes; cease doing evil;
17 Učite se dobrim djelima: pravdi težite, ugnjetenom pritecite u pomoć, siroti pomozite do pravde, za udovu se zauzmite.«	17 learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan's plea, defend the widow.
18 »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.	18 Come now, let us set things right, says the LORD: Though your sins be like scarlet, they may become white as snow; Though they be crimson red, they may become white as wool.
19 Htjednete l’ me poslušati, uživat ćete plodove zemaljske.	19 If you are willing, and obey, you shall eat the good things of the land;
20 U buntovništvu ako ustrajete, proždrijet će vas mač.« Tako usta Jahvina govorahu.	20 But if you refuse and resist, the sword shall consume you: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken!
21 Kako li posta bludnicom tvrđa vjerna? Bješe puna pravičnosti, pravda u njoj stolovala, a sad – ubojice.	21 How has she turned adulteress, the faithful city, so upright! Justice used to lodge within her, but now, murderers.
22 Srebro ti se u trosku obratilo, vino ti se razvodnjelo.	22 Your silver is turned to dross, your wine is mixed with water.
23 Knezovi se tvoji odmetnuli, s tatima se pobratili. Svi za mitom hlepe, za darovima lete. Siroti pravdu uskraćuju, udovička parnica ne stiže k njima.	23 Your princes are rebels and comrades of thieves; Each one of them loves a bribe and looks for gifts. The fatherless they defend not, and the widow's plea does not reach them.
24 Stog ovako govori Jahve, Gospod nad vojskama, Junak Izraelov: »Ah, kad se iskalim na protivnicima i osvetim dušmanima!	24 Now, therefore, says the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will take vengeance on my foes and fully repay my enemies!
25 Kada na te ruku pružim, da lužinom tvoju trosku očistim, da iz tebe uklonim olovo!	25 I will turn my hand against you, and refine your dross in the furnace, removing all your alloy.
26 Da ti opet postavim suce kao negda, savjetnike kao u početku, pa da te zovu Gradom pravednim, Tvrđom vjernosti.«	26 I will restore your judges as at first, and your counselors as in the beginning; After that you shall be called city of justice, faithful city.
27 Sud pravedni otkupit će Sion, a pravda obraćenike njegove.	27 Zion shall be redeemed by judgment, and her repentant ones by justice.
28 Otpadnici i grešnici skršit će se zajedno, a oni što Jahvu napuštaju poginut će.	28 Rebels and sinners alike shall be crushed, those who desert the LORD shall be consumed.
29 Da, stidjet ćete se zbog hrastova što ih sad obožavate i crvenjet ćete zbog gajeva u kojima sad uživate.	29 You shall be ashamed of the terebinths which you prized, and blush for the groves which you chose.
30 Jer, bit ćete poput hrasta osušena lišća i poput gaja u kojem vode nema.	30 You shall become like a tree with falling leaves, like a garden that has no water.
31 Junak će biti kučina, a iskra djelo njegovo, zajedno će izgorjeti, a nikoga da ugasi.	31 The strong man shall turn to tow, and his work shall become a spark; Both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench the flames.
