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 Adonai will have racham ·compassionate love· on Jacob [Supplanter], and will yet choose Israel [God prevails], and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob [Supplanter].
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.
The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel [God prevails] will possess them in Adonai’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those 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,
It will happen in the day that Adonai will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
4 Tada æeš izvoditi ovu prièu o caru Vavilonskom i reæi æeš: kako nesta nastojnika, nesta danka?
that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon [Confusion], and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”
5 Slomi Gospod štap bezbožnicima, palicu vladaocima,
Adonai has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
6 Koja je ljuto bila narode bez prestanka, i gnjevno vladala nad narodima, i gonila nemilice.
who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that no one restrained.
7 Sva zemlja poèiva i mirna je; pjevaju iza glasa.
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song.
8 Vesele se s tebe i jele i kedri Livanski govoreæi: otkako si pao, ne dolazi niko da nas sijeèe.
Yes, the cypress trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has 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)
Sheol ·Place of the dead· 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)
10 Svi æe progovoriti i reæi tebi: i ti li si iznemogao kao mi? izjednaèio se s nama?
They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”
11 Spusti se u pakao ponos tvoj, zveka psaltira tvojih; prostrti su poda te moljci, a crvi su ti pokrivaè. (Sheol h7585)
Your pomp is brought down to Sheol ·Place of the dead·, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you. (Sheol h7585)
12 Kako pade s neba, zvijezdo danice, kæeri zorina? kako se obori na zemlju koji si gazio narode?
How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!
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;
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!
14 Izaæi æu u visine nad oblake, izjednaèiæu se s višnjim.
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like haElyon [the Most High]!”
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol ·Place of the dead·, to the depths of the pit (of Abbadon, the unrighteous side of Sheol). (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,
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;
17 Koji je vasiljenu obraæao u pustinju, i gradove njezine raskopavao? roblje svoje nije otpuštao kuæi?
who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”
18 Svi carevi narodni, svikoliki, leže slavno, svaki u svojoj kuæi.
All the kings of the nations, sleep in glory, everyone 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 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 (of Abbadon, the unrighteous side of Sheol); like a dead body trodden under foot.
20 Neæeš se združiti s njima pogrebom, jer si zemlju svoju zatro, narod si svoj ubio; neæe se spominjati sjeme zlikovaèko dok je vijeka.
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.
21 Pripravite pokolj sinovima njegovijem za bezakonje otaca njihovijeh da se ne podignu i ne naslijede zemlje i ne napune vasiljene gradovima.
Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the depravity (moral evil) of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface 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.
“I will rise up against them,” says Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], “and cut off from Babylon [Confusion] name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says Adonai.
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 porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies].
24 Zakle se Gospod nad vojskama govoreæi: doista, biæe kako sam smislio, i kako sam naumio izvršiæe se.
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; 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 tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
26 To je namišljeno svoj zemlji, i to je ruka podignuta na sve narode.
This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 Jer je Gospod nad vojskama naumio, ko æe razbiti? i njegovu ruku podignutu ko æe odvratiti?
For Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”
28 Godine koje umrije car Ahaz bi objavljeno ovo breme:
This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.
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.
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.
30 I prvenci siromaški nahraniæe se, i ubogi æe poèivati bez straha; a tvoj æu korijen umoriti glaðu, i ostatak tvoj on æe pobiti.
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.
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, 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.
32 I šta æe se odgovoriti poslanicima narodnijem? Da je Gospod osnovao Sion i da æe u nj utjecati nevoljnici naroda njegova.
What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Adonai has founded Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
