¹I will stand at my watch, and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.

¹Stat ću na stražu svoju, postavit se na bedem, paziti što će mi reći, kako odgovorit na moje tužbe.

²Yahweh answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.

²Tada Jahve odgovori i reče: "Zapiši viđenje, ureži ga na pločice, da ga čitač lako čita."

³For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

³Jer ovo je viđenje samo za svoje vrijeme: ispunjenju teži, ne vara; ako stiže polako, čekaj, jer odista će doći i neće zakasniti!

⁴Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

⁴Gle: propada onaj čija duša nije pravedna, a pravednik živi od svoje vjere.

⁵Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. A haughty man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , and he is like death, and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples.

⁵Bogatstvo je odista podmuklo! Ohol je i ne može počinuti tko ždrijelo razvaljuje k'o Podzemlje, tko je kao smrt nezasitan, tko sabire za se sve narode, tko kupi za se sva plemena!

⁶Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’

⁶Zar mu se neće svi podrugivati, rugalicu i zagonetku spjevat' protiv njega? Reći će: Jao onom tko množi što nije njegovo (a dokle će?) i opterećuje se zalogama!

⁷Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?

⁷Neće li naglo ustat' vjerovnici tvoji, neće li se probuditi ljuti tvoji tlačitelji? Tada ćeš im plijen biti!

⁸Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you, because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.

⁸Jer si opljačkao mnoge narode, sav ostatak naroda opljačkat će tebe, jer si prolio krv ljudsku, poharao zemlju, grad i sve mu žitelje.

⁹Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!

⁹Jao onom tko otimačinu zgrće nepravednu kući svojoj, da visoko svije gnijezdo svoje i otkloni ruku zla!

¹⁰You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.

¹⁰Nanese sramotu kući svojoj: zatirući mnoga plemena, griješiš protiv sebe.

¹¹For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.

¹¹Jer iz samih zidova kamen kriči, a krovna mu greda odgovara.

¹²Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!

¹²Jao onom tko grad diže krvlju i tvrđavu zasnuje na nepravdi!

¹³Behold, isn’t it of Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?

¹³Nije li to, gle, od Jahve nad Vojskama da se narodi za oganj trude, puci nizašto muče?

¹⁴For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁴Jer će se zemlja napuniti znanja o slavi Jahvinoj kao što vode prekrivaju more.

¹⁵“Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!

¹⁵Jao onom tko bližnjeg navodi na piće, ulijeva otrov dok on pije da bi promatrao njegovu nagost!

¹⁶You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed! The cup of Yahweh’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.

¹⁶Ti si pijan od sramote, ne od slave! Pij samo i pokazuj kapicu. Dolazi ti pehar iz desnice Jahvine i sramota na slavu tvoju!

¹⁷For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.

¹⁷Nasilje nad Libanonom tebe će prestraviti, pokolj zvijeri, jer si ljudsku krv prolio, poharao zemlju, grad i njegove žitelje.

¹⁸“What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?

¹⁸Čemu koristi tesan lik da ga umjetnik teše? Čemu lijevan lik, lažno proroštvo, da se tvorac njegov u nj pouzdaje oblikujuć' nijeme kipove?

¹⁹Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in its midst.

¹⁹Jao onom tko komadu drva kaže: "Probudi se!" Kamenu nijemom: "Preni se!" On da prorokuje? Optočen može biti i zlatom i srebrom, ali nikakva daha životnog nema u njemu.

²⁰But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”

²⁰Ali je Jahve u svojem svetom Hramu: nek' zemlja sva zašuti pred njime!
