Isaiah 14
1 For YHWH loves Jacob, And has fixed again on Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And the sojourner has been joined to them, And they have been admitted to the house of Jacob.
Da, smilovat će se Jahve Jakovu i opet izabrati Izraela, dati mu da počine u svojoj zemlji. Pridružit će im se došljak i priključiti se domu Jakovljevu.
2 And peoples have taken them, And have brought them to their place, And the house of Israel has inherited them, On the land of YHWH, For menservants and for maidservants, And they have been captors of their captors, And have ruled over their exactors.
Sami će narodi po njih doći i odvesti ih u njihov kraj, a njih će Dom Izraelov baštiniti u Jahvinoj zemlji kao sluge i sluškinje. I zarobit će one koji njih bijahu zarobili i gospodovat će nad svojim tlačiteljima.
3 And it has come to pass, In the day of YHWH’s giving rest to you, From your grief, and from your trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That has been served on you,
U dan kad ti Jahve dade da počineš od svojih stradanja, nemira i teškog robovanja kojima te pritisnuše,
4 That you have taken up this allegory Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, “How the exactor has ceased,
zapjevat ćeš ovu rugalicu kralju babilonskom: Kako nestade silnika? Kako nestade tlačenja?
5 The golden one has ceased. YHWH has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of rulers.
Jahve slomi štap zlikovački i žezlo vladarsko
6 He who is striking peoples in wrath, A striking without intermission, He who is ruling nations in anger, Pursuing without restraint!
što je bijesno b§ilo narode udarcima bez kraja i konca, što je gnjevno vladalo narodima progoneć' ih nemilice.
7 At rest—all the earth has been quiet, They have broken forth [into] singing.
Počiva, miruje sva zemlja kličući od radosti.
8 Even firs have rejoiced over you, Cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since you have lain down, The hewer does not come up against us.
Nad tobom se raduju čempresi i cedri libanonski: “Otkako si pao, ne dolaze nas više sjeći!”
9 Sheol beneath has been troubled at you, To meet your coming in, It is waking up Rephaim for you, All chief ones of earth, It has raised up from their thrones All kings of nations. (Sheol h7585)
Zbog tebe se uzbudi Podzemlje da te dočeka kada dođeš. U tvoju čast ono budi sjene, sve zemaljske mogućnike, ono diže s prijestolja sve kraljeve naroda. (Sheol h7585)
10 All of them answer and say to you, Even you have become weak like us! You have become like to us!
Svi ti oni progovaraju: “I ti si skršen k'o i mi, nama si sličan postao.
11 Your excellence has been brought down to Sheol, The noise of your stringed instruments, The worm has been spread out under you, Indeed, the worm is covering you. (Sheol h7585)
Oholost se tvoja sruši u Podzemlje i buka tvojih harfa; pod tobom je ležaj od truleži, a crvi tvoj su pokrivač. (Sheol h7585)
12 How you have fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations.
Kako pade sa nebesa, Svjetlonošo, sine Zorin? Kako li si oboren na zemlju, ti, vladaru naroda?
13 And you said in your heart: I go up into the heavens, I raise my throne above the stars of God, And I sit on the mountain of meeting in the sides of the north.
U svom si srcu govorio: 'Uspet ću se na nebesa, povrh zvijezda Božjih prijesto ću sebi dići. Na zbornoj ću stolovati gori na krajnom sjeveru.
14 I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.
Uzaći ću u visine oblačne, bit ću jednak Višnjemu.'
A sruši se u Podzemlje, u dubine provalije!” (Sheol h7585)
16 Your beholders look to you, they attend to you, Is this the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms?
Koji te vide, motre te i o tebi razmišljaju: “Je li to čovjek koji je zemljom tresao i drmao kraljevstvima,
17 He has made the world as a wilderness, And he has broken down his cities, He did not open the house of his bound ones.
koji je u pustinju svijet obraćao i sa zemljom sravnjivao gradove, koji sužnjeva svojih nikad nije kući otpuštao?”
18 All kings of nations—all of them, Have lain down in glory, each in his house,
Kraljevi naroda svi u časti počivaju, svaki u svojoj grobnici.
19 And you have been cast out of your grave, As an abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of the sword, Going down to the sons of the pit, As a carcass trodden down.
A ti si iz groba izbačen kao smeće odvratno, pokriven poklanima, mačem probodenima, koji su na ploče grobne pobacani k'o strvina zgažena!
20 You are not united with them in burial, For you have destroyed your land, You have slain your people, The seed of evildoers is not named for all time.
Nećeš se združiti s njima u grobu, jer si zemlju svoju uništio i narod svoj poklao. I nikad se više neće spominjati pleme zlikovačko.
21 Prepare slaughter for his sons; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They do not rise, nor have possessed the land, Nor filled the face of the world [with] cities.
Spremite pokolj djeci za bezakonje otaca njihovih, da se više ne dignu da osvajaju zemlju i da ne pokriju lice svijeta!
22 And I have risen up against them,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “And have cut off, in reference to Babylon, Name and remnant, and continuator and successor,” A declaration of YHWH.
Ustat ću na njih - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - i zatrt ću Babilonu ime i ostatak, rod i porod - riječ je Jahvina.
23 “And have made it for a possession of a hedgehog, And ponds of waters, And swept it with the broom of destruction,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!
Dat ću ga u posjed ježevima i močvarama. Pomest ću ga metlom zatornom - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
24 YHWH of Hosts has sworn, saying, “As I thought—so has it not been? And as I counseled—it stands;
Zakleo se Jahve nad Vojskama: “Što zamislih, zbit će se, što naumih, izvršit će se!
25 To break Asshur in My land, And I tread him down on My mountain, And his yoke has turned from off them, Indeed, his burden turns aside from off their shoulder.
Skršit ću Asur u svojoj zemlji, zgazit ću ga na svojim gorama. Jaram njegov s njih će spasti, spast će im s pleća breme njegovo.”
26 This [is] the counsel that is counseled for all the earth, And this [is] the hand that is stretched out for all the nations.
Takva je odluka stvorena protiv čitave zemlje; takva je ruka pružena protiv svih naroda!
27 For YHWH of Hosts has purposed, And who makes void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who turns it back?”
A kad Jahve nad Vojskama odluči, tko da se usprotivi? Kada ruku ispruži, tko da je odvrati?
28 In the year of the death of King Ahaz was this burden:
One godine kad je umro kralj Ahaz, bi objavljeno ovo proroštvo:
29 “Do not rejoice, Philistia, all of you, That the rod of your striker has been broken, For from the root of a serpent comes out a viper, And its fruit [is] a flying, burning serpent.
Ne raduj se, sva Filistejo, što se slomi štap koji te udarao, jer će iz korijena zmijinjeg izaći ljutica što će izleći zmaja krilatoga.
30 And the firstborn of the poor have delighted, And the needy lie down in confidence, And I have put to death your root with famine, And it slays your remnant.
Ubogi će pasti na mojim pašnjacima i u pouzdanju počivati siromasi; glađu ću pomoriti rod tvoj i pobiti što od tebe ostane.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city, You are melted, Philistia, all of you, For smoke has come from the north, And there is none alone in his set places.”
Kukajte, vrata! Zapomaži, grade! Strepi, sva Filistejo! Jer sa sjevera dim dolazi i čete njegove ne napušta nitko!
32 And what does one answer the messengers of a nation? That YHWH has founded Zion, And the poor of His people take refuge in it!
Što će se tad odgovoriti glasnicima naroda? “Jahve zasnova Sion, i u njem su zaštićeni siromasi njegova naroda.”
