< Isaiah 25 >
1 O LORD, thou [art] my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful [things]; [thy] counsels of old [are] faithfulness [and] 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 city a heap; [of] a fortified city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never 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 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
Zato te slavi narod snažan, grad moćnih plemena tebe se boji;
4 For thou hast been a defense to the poor, a defense to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the 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 Thou wilt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; [even] the heat with the shade of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
kao žega nad zemljom sušnom ti gušiš graju neprijatelja; kao žega sjenom oblaka prekinu se silniku pjesma pobjednička.
6 And on this mountain will the LORD of hosts make to all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees 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 destroy on this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail [that is] spread over all nations.
Na ovoj gori on će raskinuti zastor što zastiraše sve narode, pokrivač koji sva plemena pokrivaše
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people will he remove from all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
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 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this [is] our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD, we have waited for him, we will be glad 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 on this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
jer ruka Jahvina na ovoj gori počiva!” Moab je izgažen na svome mjestu kao što se gazi slama na buništu;
11 And he will spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim: and he will bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
ondje on razmahuje rukama kao što ih razmahuje plivač kada pliva. Ali Jahve obara njegovu ponositost i propinjanja ruku njegovih.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls will he bring down, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust.
Visoku tvrđu tvojih zidina on razvaljuje, na zemlju baca, u prah ruši.
