Isaija 14
1 Jer æe se smilovati Gospod na Jakova, i opet æe izabrati Izrailja, i namjestiæe ih u zemlji njihovoj, i prilijepiæe se k njima došljaci i pridružiæe se domu Jakovljevu.
FOR the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 Jer æe ih uzeti narodi i odvesti na mjesto njihovo, i naslijediæe ih Izrailjci u zemlji Gospodnjoj da im budu sluge i sluškinje, i zarobiæe one koji ih bjehu zarobili, i biæe gospodari svojim nasilnicima.
And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 I kad te smiri Gospod od truda tvojega i muke i od ljutoga ropstva u kom si robovao,
And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
4 Tada æeš izvoditi ovu prièu o caru Vavilonskom i reæi æeš: kako nesta nastojnika, nesta danka?
That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 Slomi Gospod štap bezbožnicima, palicu vladaocima,
The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
6 Koja je ljuto bila narode bez prestanka, i gnjevno vladala nad narodima, i gonila nemilice.
He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
7 Sva zemlja poèiva i mirna je; pjevaju iza glasa.
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
8 Vesele se s tebe i jele i kedri Livanski govoreæi: otkako si pao, ne dolazi niko da nas sijeèe.
Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
9 Pakao dolje uskoleba se tebe radi da te srete kad doðeš, probudi ti mrtvace i sve knezove zemaljske, diže s prijestola njihovijeh sve careve narodne. (Sheol h7585)
Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 Svi æe progovoriti i reæi tebi: i ti li si iznemogao kao mi? izjednaèio se s nama?
All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
11 Spusti se u pakao ponos tvoj, zveka psaltira tvojih; prostrti su poda te moljci, a crvi su ti pokrivaè. (Sheol h7585)
Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585)
12 Kako pade s neba, zvijezdo danice, kæeri zorina? kako se obori na zemlju koji si gazio narode?
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 A govorio si u srcu svom: izaæi æu na nebo, više zvijezda Božijih podignuæu prijesto svoj, i sješæu na gori zbornoj na strani sjevernoj;
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 Izaæi æu u visine nad oblake, izjednaèiæu se s višnjim.
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 Koji te vide pogledaæe na te, i gledaæe te govoreæi: to li je onaj koji je tresao zemlju, koji je drmao carstva,
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 Koji je vasiljenu obraæao u pustinju, i gradove njezine raskopavao? roblje svoje nije otpuštao kuæi?
That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 Svi carevi narodni, svikoliki, leže slavno, svaki u svojoj kuæi.
All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 A ti se izbaci iz groba svojega, kao gadna grana, kao haljina pobijenijeh, maèem pobodenijeh, koji slaze u jamu kamenu, kao pogaženi strv.
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Neæeš se združiti s njima pogrebom, jer si zemlju svoju zatro, narod si svoj ubio; neæe se spominjati sjeme zlikovaèko dok je vijeka.
Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21 Pripravite pokolj sinovima njegovijem za bezakonje otaca njihovijeh da se ne podignu i ne naslijede zemlje i ne napune vasiljene gradovima.
Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 Jer æu ustati na njih, govori Gospod nad vojskama, i zatræu ime Vavilonu i ostatak, i sina i unuka, govori Gospod.
For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord.
23 I naèiniæu od njega stan æukovima i jezera vodena, i omešæu ga metlom pogibli, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.
24 Zakle se Gospod nad vojskama govoreæi: doista, biæe kako sam smislio, i kako sam naumio izvršiæe se.
The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 Potræu Asirca u zemlji svojoj, na gorama svojim izgaziæu ga; tada æe se skinuti s njih jaram njegov, i breme njegovo s pleæa njihovijeh skinuæe se.
That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 To je namišljeno svoj zemlji, i to je ruka podignuta na sve narode.
This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
27 Jer je Gospod nad vojskama naumio, ko æe razbiti? i njegovu ruku podignutu ko æe odvratiti?
For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 Godine koje umrije car Ahaz bi objavljeno ovo breme:
In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
29 Nemoj se radovati, zemljo Filistejska svakolika, što se slomi prut onoga koji te je bio; jer æe iz korijena zmijinjega niknuti zmija vasilinska, i plod æe mu biti zmaj ognjeni krilati.
Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
30 I prvenci siromaški nahraniæe se, i ubogi æe poèivati bez straha; a tvoj æu korijen umoriti glaðu, i ostatak tvoj on æe pobiti.
And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.
31 Ridajte, vrata; vièi, grade; rastopila si se, sva zemljo Filistejska, jer sa sjevera ide dim i niko se neæe osamiti u zborovima njegovijem.
Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
32 I šta æe se odgovoriti poslanicima narodnijem? Da je Gospod osnovao Sion i da æe u nj utjecati nevoljnici naroda njegova.
What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
