Knjiga proroka Isaije
Capitolo 29
1
Teško Arilu,
Arilu, gradu gde je stajao David.
Dodajte godinu na godinu,
neka kolju žrtve praznične.
2
Ali ću pritesniti Arila,
i biće žalost i tuga,
jer će mi biti kao Aril.
3
Jer ću te opkoliti vojskom,
i stegnuću te opkopima
i podignuću suprot tebi kule.
4
Te ćeš oboren govoriti sa zemlje
i iz praha ćeš mucati,
i glas će ti biti sa zemlje kao u bajača
i iz praha ćeš šapćući govoriti.
5
A mnoštvo neprijatelja tvojih biće kao sitan prah
i mnoštvo nasilnika kao pleva kad se razmeće;
i to će biti začas, iznenada.
6
Gospod nad vojskama pohodiće ga gromom i trusom i hukom velikom,
vihorom i burom i plamenom ognjenim koji proždire.
7
I mnoštvo svih naroda koji vojuju na Aril
i svi koji udaraju na nj i na zidove njegove
i koji ga pritešnjuju,
biće kao utvara noćna u snu.
8
Biće kao kad gladan sni da jede,
pa kad se probudi a duša mu prazna;
ili kad sni žedan da pije,
pa kad se probudi, a on iznemogao i duša mu žedna;
tako će biti mnoštvo svih naroda što vojuju na goru sionsku.
9
Stanite i čudite se;
vapijte i vičite:
Pijani su, ali ne od vina;
posrću, ali ne od silovitog pića.
10
Jer je Gospod izlio na vas duh tvrdog sna
i zatvorio vam oči,
oslepio proroke i videoce,
glavare vaše.
11
I svaka utvara biće vam kao reči u zapečaćenoj knjizi, koju daju čoveku koji zna čitati govoreći: Čitaj to; a on reče: Ne mogu, jer je zapečaćeno.
12
Ili da daju knjigu onom koji ne zna čitati govoreći: Čitaj to; a on reče: Ne znam čitati.
13
Zato reče Gospod:
Što se ovaj narod približuje ustima svojim
i usnama svojim poštuje me,
a srce im daleko stoji od mene,
i strah kojim me se boje zapovest je ljudska kojoj su naučeni,
14
Zato ću evo još raditi čudesno s tim narodom,
čudesno i divno,
i mudrost mudrih njegovih poginuće
i razum razumnih nestaće.
15
Teško onima koji duboko sakrivaju od Gospoda nameru,
koji rade u mraku i govore:
Ko nas vidi? I ko nas zna?
16
Naopake misli vaše nisu li kao kao lončarski?
Govori li delo za onog koji ga je načinio: Nije me načinio?
I lonac govori li za onog koji ga je načinio: Ne razume?
17
Neće li se doskora i Livan pretvoriti u polje,
i polje se uzimati za šumu?
18
I u taj će dan gluvi čuti reči u knjizi,
i iz tame i mraka videće oči slepih.
19
I krotki će se veoma radovati u Gospodu,
i ništi između ljudi veseliće se sa Sveca Izrailjevog.
20
Jer nasilnika neće biti,
i nestaće podsmevača,
i istrebiće se svi koji gledaju da čine bezakonje,
21
Koji okrivljuju čoveka za reč,
i meću zamku onom koji kara na vratima,
i obaraju pravednog lažju.
22
Zato Gospod, koji je otkupio Avrama, ovako govori za dom Jakovljev:
Neće se više Jakov postideti,
niti će mu lice pobledeti.
23
Jer kad vidi usred sebe decu svoju, delo ruku mojih,
tada će oni svetiti ime moje,
svetiće Sveca Jakovljevog
i bojaće se Boga Izrailjevog.
24
I koji lutaju duhom orazumiće se,
i vikači će primiti nauku.
Isaiah
Capitolo 29
1
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2
Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
3
And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
4
And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5
Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6
Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7
¶ And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8
It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
9
¶ Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10
For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
11
And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12
And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
13
¶ Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15
Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16
Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18
¶ And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19
The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20
For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21
That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
22
Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23
But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24
They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
