1 На стражи својој стадох, и стајах на кули, и мотрах да видим шта ће ми рећи и шта бих одговорио ономе који ме кораше.
1 I 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.
2 И одговори ми Господ и рече: Пиши утвару, и да буде разговетно на плочама да се лако чита.
2 Yahweh answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.
3 Јер ће још бити утвара до одређеног времена, и говориће шта ће бити до краја и неће слагати; ако оклева, чекај је, јер ће зацело доћи, и неће одоцнити.
3 For 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.
4 Гле, ко се поноси, његова душа није права у њему; а праведник ће од вере своје жив бити.
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.
5 А како вино вара, такав је човек охол, нити остаје у стану; јер раширује дух свој као гроб, и као смрт је, која се не може наситити и збира к себи све народе и скупља к себи сва племена.
5 Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol; he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples.
6 Неће ли га сви они узети у причу и у загонетке, и рећи: Тешко оном који умножава шта није његово! Докле ће? И који трпа на се густо блато.
6 Won’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?’
7 Неће ли наједанпут устати они који ће те гристи? И неће ли се пробудити они који ће те растрзати, и којима ћеш бити грабеж?
7 Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
8 Што си ти опленио многе народе, тебе ће опленити сав остатак од народа, за крв људску и за насиље учињено земљи, граду и свима који живе у њему.
8 Because 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.
9 Тешко ономе који се лакоми на гадан добитак кући својој, да постави гнездо своје на високом месту и сачува се ода зла.
9 Woe 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!
10 Смислио си срамоту кући својој да затреш многе народе, и огрешио си се о своју душу.
10 You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
11 Јер ће камен из зида викати, и чвор из дрвета сведочиће.
11 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
12 Тешко ономе који гради град крвљу и оснива град неправдом.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
13 Гле, није ли од Господа над војскама да људи раде за огањ и народи се труде низашта?
13 Behold, isn’t it from Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
14 Јер ће се земља напунити познања славе Господње као што је море пуно воде.
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Yahweh’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Тешко ономе који поји ближњег свог, додаје мех свој да би га опојио и гледао му голотињу.
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!
16 Наситићеш се срамоте место славе, пиј и ти, и откриј голотињу своју; доћи ће к теби чаша у десници Господњој, и бљувотина ће срамна бити на слави твојој.
16 You 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.
17 Јер насиље учињено Ливану покриће те и пустош међу зверјем која га је плашила, за крв људску и насиље учињено земљи, граду и свима који живе у њему.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals will terrify you, because of men’s blood and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.
18 Шта помаже резан лик што га изреза уметник његов? Шта ливен лик и учитељ лажи, те се уметник узда у дело своје градећи неме идоле?
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?
19 Тешко ономе који говори дрвету: Прени се! И немом камену: Пробуди се! Хоће ли он учити? Ето, обложен је златом и сребром, а нема духа у њему.
19 Woe 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 within it.
20 А Господ је у светој цркви својој; ћути пред Њим сва земљо!
20 But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… Epistle to the Romans, "But now, without the law, has the righteousness of God been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; for the just shall live by faith." But this fact, that the just shall live by faith, had been previously announced by the prophets.
… into four divisions--prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance--and as each of these divisions has its own virtues, faith is among the parts of justice, and has the chief place with as many of us as know what that saying means, "The just shall live by faith." But if Faith is a goddess, I wonder why these keen lovers of a multitude …

And thus it is written, "The just lives by faith," for we do not as yet see our good, and must therefore live by faith; neither have we in ourselves power to live rightly, but can do so only if He who has given us faith to believe in His help do help us when we believe and pray.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 2 (1887)
The faithful; because it is "by faith that the just shall live." For there is in the Church this order, some go before, others follow; and those who go before make themselves "an example" to those who follow; and those who follow imitate those who go before.
