Isaiah 25
1 O Yahweh! my God, thou art, I will exalt thee, I will praise thy Name, For thou hast done a wonderful thing, —Purposes of long ago Faithfulness in truth.
Jahve, ti si Bog moj, uznosim te, tvoje ime slavim, jer si proveo čudesan naum, smišljen od davnine, istinit i vjeran,
2 For thou hast made, of a citadel, a mound, of a defenced city, a ruin, —palaces for foreigners to be no city, To times age-abiding, shall it not be built.
jer grad si pretvorio u hrpu kamenja, a mjesto utvrđeno u ruševine. Tvrđa neprijateljska više nije grad, dovijeka se više obnoviti neće.
3 For this cause! shall glorify thee—a strong people, the city of tyrannous nations shall revere thee;
Zato te slavi narod snažan, grad moćnih plemena tebe se boji;
4 For thou didst become A refuge to the weak. A refuge to the needy, when distress was upon him, —A shelter from the storm. A shade from the heat, When the blast of tyrants was like a storm against a wall.
jer ti si utočište nevoljnom, utočište ubogom u nevolji; ti si skrovište od pljuska i od žege zaklon, jer ćud je silnička kao pljusak zimski;
5 As heat in a desert, the pomp of foreigners, wilt thou subdue, —Heat—with the shade of a cloud, The song of tyrants! become low.
kao žega nad zemljom sušnom ti gušiš graju neprijatelja; kao žega sjenom oblaka prekinu se silniku pjesma pobjednička.
6 Then will Yahweh of hosts prepare for all the peoples in this mountain, A banquet of fat things, A banquet of old wines, —Of fat things full of marrow, Of old wines well refined;
I Jahve nad Vojskama spremit će svim narodima na ovoj gori gozbu od pretiline, gozbu od izvrsna vina, od pretiline sočne, od vina staložena.
7 And he will swallow up in this mountain, The mask of the veil, the veil that is upon all the peoples, —And the web that is woven over all the nations.
Na ovoj gori on će raskinuti zastor što zastiraše sve narode, pokrivač koji sva plemena pokrivaše
8 Having swallowed up death itself victoriously, My Lord, Yahweh, will wipe away, tears from off all faces, —And the reproach of his own people, will he remove from off all the earth, For, Yahweh, hath spoken.
i uništit će smrt zasvagda. I suzu će sa svakog lica Jahve, Gospod, otrti - sramotu će svog naroda na svoj zemlji skinuti: tako Jahve reče.
9 So shall it be said, in that day, Lo! our God, is this! We waited for him, that he might save us, —This, is Yahweh! We waited for him, Let us exult and rejoice in his salvation.
I reći će se u onaj dan: “Gle, ovo je Bog naš, u njega se uzdasmo, on nas je spasio; ovo je Jahve u koga se uzdasmo! Kličimo i veselimo se spasenju njegovu,
10 For the hand of Yahweh will settle down in this mountain, —Then shall Moab be trodden down in its place, Like the treading down of a strawheap in the water of a dunghill;
jer ruka Jahvina na ovoj gori počiva!” Moab je izgažen na svome mjestu kao što se gazi slama na buništu;
11 Should he spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, As a swimmer spreadeth forth to swim, Then would be laid low his pride, together with the devices of his hands.
ondje on razmahuje rukama kao što ih razmahuje plivač kada pliva. Ali Jahve obara njegovu ponositost i propinjanja ruku njegovih.
12 Yea, the lofty stronghold of thy walls, Hath he brought down—Laid low—Levelled to the ground even unto the dust.
Visoku tvrđu tvojih zidina on razvaljuje, na zemlju baca, u prah ruši.
