Isaiah 14
1 For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with 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 The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in the LORD’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
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 It will happen in the day that the LORD will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
U dan kad ti Jahve dade da počineš od svojih stradanja, nemira i teškog robovanja kojima te pritisnuše,
4 that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”
zapjevat ćeš ovu rugalicu kralju babilonskom: Kako nestade silnika? Kako nestade tlačenja?
5 The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
Jahve slomi štap zlikovački i žezlo vladarsko
6 who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that no one restrained.
što je bijesno b§ilo narode udarcima bez kraja i konca, što je gnjevno vladalo narodima progoneć' ih nemilice.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out in song.
Počiva, miruje sva zemlja kličući od radosti.
8 Yes, the cypress trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us.”
Nad tobom se raduju čempresi i cedri libanonski: “Otkako si pao, ne dolaze nas više sjeći!”
9 Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the departed spirits for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the 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 They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”
Svi ti oni progovaraju: “I ti si skršen k'o i mi, nama si sličan postao.
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover 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 heaven, shining one, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!
Kako pade sa nebesa, Svjetlonošo, sine Zorin? Kako li si oboren na zemlju, ti, vladaru naroda?
13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far 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 will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!”
Uzaći ću u visine oblačne, bit ću jednak Višnjemu.'
A sruši se u Podzemlje, u dubine provalije!” (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms,
Koji te vide, motre te i o tebi razmišljaju: “Je li to čovjek koji je zemljom tresao i drmao kraljevstvima,
17 who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities, who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”
koji je u pustinju svijet obraćao i sa zemljom sravnjivao gradove, koji sužnjeva svojih nikad nije kući otpuštao?”
18 All the kings of the nations sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.
Kraljevi naroda svi u časti počivaju, svaki u svojoj grobnici.
19 But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
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 will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be named forever.
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 for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface 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 “I will rise up against them,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says the LORD.
Ustat ću na njih - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - i zatrt ću Babilonu ime i ostatak, rod i porod - riječ je Jahvina.
23 “I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the LORD of Hosts.
Dat ću ga u posjed ježevima i močvarama. Pomest ću ga metlom zatornom - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
24 The LORD of Hosts has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
Zakleo se Jahve nad Vojskama: “Što zamislih, zbit će se, što naumih, izvršit će se!
25 that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
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 plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
Takva je odluka stvorena protiv čitave zemlje; takva je ruka pružena protiv svih naroda!
27 For the LORD of Hosts has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”
A kad Jahve nad Vojskama odluči, tko da se usprotivi? Kada ruku ispruži, tko da je odvrati?
28 This burden was in the year that King Ahaz died.
One godine kad je umro kralj Ahaz, bi objavljeno ovo proroštvo:
29 Don’t rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying 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 The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.
Ubogi će pasti na mojim pašnjacima i u pouzdanju počivati siromasi; glađu ću pomoriti rod tvoj i pobiti što od tebe ostane.
31 Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
Kukajte, vrata! Zapomaži, grade! Strepi, sva Filistejo! Jer sa sjevera dim dolazi i čete njegove ne napušta nitko!
32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
Što će se tad odgovoriti glasnicima naroda? “Jahve zasnova Sion, i u njem su zaštićeni siromasi njegova naroda.”
