Књига пророка Исаије 1
New Serbian Translation
1 Виђење Исаије сина Амоцова, што је за Јуду и Јерусалим видео у време Јудиних царева: Озије, Јотама, Ахаза и Језекије.
Неразумни и грешни народ
2 Чујте, небеса! Слушај, земљо,
јер говори Господ:
„Синове сам васпитао и подигао,
а они се одметнуше од мене.
3 Во познаје власника својега
и магарац јасле господара својега.
Израиљ не зна;
народ мој не разуме!“
4 Јао, грешнога ли пука,
народа огрезлог у кривици,
потомака злочиначких,
синова покварењачких!
Господа су оставили;
Светитеља Израиљевог презрели,
леђа му окренули.
5 Где још да ударим,
одметници тврдокорни?
Сва је глава болна
и све срце изнемогло;
6 од пете до главе здравог места нема,
него су убоји и модрице и ране отворене;
очишћене нису,
у завојима нису,
уљем заблажене нису.
7 Опустошена вам је земља,
огањ вам је градове попалио,
ваше њиве пред вама харају туђинци.
Пустош је као кад опустоше туђинци.
8 Остављена је ћерка сионска
као сеница у винограду,
као колиба у градини за краставце,
као град под опсадом.
9 Да нам Господ над војскама
није оставио остатка,
као Содома били бисмо,
слични Гомори били бисмо.
10 Реч Господњу чујте,
главари содомски!
Закон Бога нашег послушајте,
народе гоморски!
11 „Шта ли ће мени мноштво жртава ваших?
– говори Господ.
Сит сам овнујских свеспалница
и наслага лојних са телади гојних.
И крв од бикова и јагањаца и јараца
не мили се мени.
12 Кад долазите да ми се покажете,
ко то тражи од вас
да по мојим предворјима трупкате?
13 Не умножавајте безвредне приносе,
кађење на које се гадим;
младине и суботе, сазивање сазива,
не подносим зле[a] свечаности.
14 Младине ваше и празници ваши,
то мрзи душа моја,
то је терет за ме,
додија ми подносити.
15 Кад за молитву ширите руке своје,
ја од вас одвраћам очи своје;
и кад продужујете молитву,
ја вас не слушам.
Ваше су руке огрезле у крви.
16 Оперите себе, очистите себе.
Уклоните злоћу дела ваших испред очију мојих.
Престаните зло чинити,
17 учите се добро чинити: тежите праву,
ублажите угњетавање,
дајте права сиротињи,
парничите се у корист удовице.
18 Затим дођите да расправљамо
– говори Господ –
буду ли греси ваши као скерлет,
постаће бели као снег;
буду ли црвени као пурпур,
постаће као вуна.
19 Ако будете вољни и послушате,
добра земаљска јешћете.
20 А ако одбаците и буните се,
мач ће вас прогутати
– јер уста Господња рекоше.“
Тужбалица над Јерусалимом
21 Како се претвори у блудницу
верна насеобина!
Била је пуна правичности,
у њој је боравила правда,
а сада су убице.
22 Твоје је сребро као згура постало.
Твоје пиће се разводнило.
23 Твоји главари су се одметнули,
с крадљивцима другови су постали.
Сваки се граби за мито
и хрли за поклонима.
Право сиротињи они ускраћују;
удовичина парница до њих не досеже.
24 Зато говори Господар,
Господ над војскама, Силни Израиљев:
„Ах, кад се искалим на противницима
и кад се осветим непријатељима!
25 Кад руку на тебе испружим,
да лужином згуру твоју очистим,
да из тебе онечишћења уклоним.
26 Па ти судије опет поставим као некад,
саветнике као од давнина,
те да те прозову
’Град праведности’,
’Верна насеобина.’“
27 Правда ће откупити Сион,
и праведност покајнике његове;
28 а преступници и грешници заједно ће се скршити
и они који напуштају Господа погинуће.
Против обожавања светог дрвета
29 „Због племенитог дрвећа ће се стидети,
зато што их славите;
и због лугова ћете се црвенети,
зато што сте их изабрали.
30 Ви ћете бити слични храсту,
с лишћем што се на њему суши.
Налик лугу у ком воде нема.
31 И скривено благо ће бити као кучина,
и онај ко га начини као варница –
обоје ће заједно изгорети,
а нико неће гасити.“

Isaiah 1
King James Version
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
Isaiah 1
New King James Version
Judah Called to Repentance
1 The (A)vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the (B)days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
The Wickedness of Judah
2 (C)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;
3 (D)The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s [a]crib;
But Israel (E)does not know,
My people do not [b]consider.”
4 Alas, sinful nation,
A people [c]laden with iniquity,
(F)A [d]brood of evildoers,
Children who are corrupters!
They have forsaken the Lord,
They have provoked to anger
The Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away backward.
5 (G)Why should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head,
There is no soundness in it,
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.
7 (H)Your country is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 So the daughter of Zion is left (I)as a [e]booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
(J)As a besieged city.
9 (K)Unless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like (L)Sodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord,
You rulers (M)of Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah:
11 “To what purpose is the multitude of your (N)sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.
12 “When you come (O)to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
13 Bring no more (P)futile[f] sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and (Q)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your (R)New Moons and your (S)appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 (T)When you [g]spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
(U)Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of [h]blood.
16 “Wash(V) yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
(W)Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke [i]the oppressor;
[j]Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.
18 “Come now, and let us (X)reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
(Y)They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
(Z)For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
The Degenerate City
21 (AA)How the faithful city has become a [k]harlot!
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now (AB)murderers.
22 (AC)Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water.
23 (AD)Your princes are rebellious,
And (AE)companions of thieves;
(AF)Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They (AG)do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord says,
The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,
“Ah, (AH)I will [l]rid Myself of My adversaries,
And [m]take vengeance on My enemies.
25 I will turn My hand against you,
And (AI)thoroughly[n] purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy.
26 I will restore your judges (AJ)as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward (AK)you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.”
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
And her [o]penitents with righteousness.
28 The (AL)destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together,
And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For [p]they shall be ashamed of the [q]terebinth trees
Which you have desired;
And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens
Which you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades,
And as a garden that has no water.
31 (AM)The strong shall be as tinder,
And the work of it as a spark;
Both will burn together,
And no one shall (AN)quench them.
