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 Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, And will yet choose Israel, And will give them rest upon their own soil, —And the sojourner, shall join himself, unto them, And they shall attach themselves unto 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 peoples shall take them, and bring them into their own place, And the house of Israel shall possess themselves of them upon the soil of Yahweh for servants and for handmaids, —Thus shall they be taking captive their captors, And shall tread down 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 when Yahweh shall give thee rest from thy toil, and from thy disquiet, —and from the hard service which had been laid upon thee,
4 Tada æeš izvoditi ovu prièu o caru Vavilonskom i reæi æeš: kako nesta nastojnika, nesta danka?
that thou shalt take up this taunt over the king of Babylon, and shalt say: —How hath ceased the oppressor! Ceased the exactress!
5 Slomi Gospod štap bezbožnicima, palicu vladaocima,
Broke hath Yahweh the staff of the lawless, —The sceptre of despots;
6 Koja je ljuto bila narode bez prestanka, i gnjevno vladala nad narodima, i gonila nemilice.
Smiting peoples in passion With stroke unremitting, —Trampling, in anger, on nations, Persecution unhindered.
7 Sva zemlja poèiva i mirna je; pjevaju iza glasa.
Quiet, at rest, the whole earth, —Men have burst into shouting!
8 Vesele se s tebe i jele i kedri Livanski govoreæi: otkako si pao, ne dolazi niko da nas sijeèe.
Yea the pine-trees, make mirth at thee, Cedars of Lebanon, Since thou wast laid low, No feller hath 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)
Hades beneath, is excited about thee To meet thine arrival, —Rousing up, for thee Shades, All the he-goats of earth! Maketh rise 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 of them, answer, and say to thee, —Thou too, made strengthless, as we! Unto us, art thou like!
11 Spusti se u pakao ponos tvoj, zveka psaltira tvojih; prostrti su poda te moljci, a crvi su ti pokrivaè. (Sheol h7585)
Brought down to Hades, thy pride. The hum of thy harps, Beneath thee, is spread out corruption, And, thy coverlet—worms! (Sheol h7585)
12 Kako pade s neba, zvijezdo danice, kæeri zorina? kako se obori na zemlju koji si gazio narode?
How hast thou fallen from heaven, O Shining One—Son of the Dawn! Hewn down to the earth, O crusher of 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;
Yet, thou, didst say in thy heart—The heavens, will I ascend, Above the stars of GOD, will I lift up my throne, —That I may sit in the Mount of Assembly In the Recesses of the North:
14 Izaæi æu u visine nad oblake, izjednaèiæu se s višnjim.
I will mount on the hills of the clouds, I will match the Most High!
Howbeit, to Hades, shalt thou be brought down, —To the Recesses 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 who see thee, upon thee, will gaze, Upon thee, will thoughtfully muse, —Is this the man who startled the earth? Who terrified kingdoms?
17 Koji je vasiljenu obraæao u pustinju, i gradove njezine raskopavao? roblje svoje nije otpuštao kuæi?
Who made the world like a desert? And its cities, brake down? Its prisoners, he loosed not, Each one to his home?
18 Svi carevi narodni, svikoliki, leže slavno, svaki u svojoj kuæi.
All the kings of the nations—they all, are lying in state Each one in his crypt;
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 flung out from thy grave, Like a scion detested, Beshrouded with slain, the pierced of the sword, Like a carcase trod underfoot:
20 Neæeš se združiti s njima pogrebom, jer si zemlju svoju zatro, narod si svoj ubio; neæe se spominjati sjeme zlikovaèko dok je vijeka.
As for them who go down to the stones of the Pit, Thou shalt not be united with them in burial; For thy land, thou didst ruin Thy people, didst slay, —Unnamed to times age-abiding, Be the seed of the wicked!
21 Pripravite pokolj sinovima njegovijem za bezakonje otaca njihovijeh da se ne podignu i ne naslijede zemlje i ne napune vasiljene gradovima.
Prepare—for his sons—shambles. For the iniquity of their fathers, —They shall not rise nor possess the earth, 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.
I will rise. Then. against them, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, —And will cut off from Babylon Record and remnant And scion and seed, Declareth Yahweh.
23 I naèiniæu od njega stan æukovima i jezera vodena, i omešæu ga metlom pogibli, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
And will make her a possession for the bittern, And marshes of water, —And will sweep it with the besom of destruction, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
24 Zakle se Gospod nad vojskama govoreæi: doista, biæe kako sam smislio, i kako sam naumio izvršiæe se.
Yahweh of hosts, hath sworn, saying, —Surely as I intended, so, hath it come to pass, And as I purposed, the same, shall 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 in pieces the Assyrian in my land, Yea upon my mountains, will I tread him underfoot, —So shall be removed from off them his yoke, And his burden, from off their shoulder shall be removed.
26 To je namišljeno svoj zemlji, i to je ruka podignuta na sve narode.
This, is the purpose that is purposed upon all the earth, —And, this, the hand outstretched over all the nations;
27 Jer je Gospod nad vojskama naumio, ko æe razbiti? i njegovu ruku podignutu ko æe odvratiti?
For, Yahweh of hosts, hath purposed, —And who shall frustrate? And, his, is the hand outstretched, And who shall turn it back?
28 Godine koje umrije car Ahaz bi objavljeno ovo breme:
In the year that King Ahaz died, came this oracle: —
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.
Do not rejoice, Philistia, any of thee, In that the rod of him that smote thee, is broken, —For, out of the root of the serpent, shall come forth, a viper, And his fruit be a fiery dragon that flieth.
30 I prvenci siromaški nahraniæe se, i ubogi æe poèivati bez straha; a tvoj æu korijen umoriti glaðu, i ostatak tvoj on æe pobiti.
Then shall feed the firstborn of the poor, And the needy, in confidence lie down, —And I will kill with famine thy root, And thy residue, shall be slain.
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, Make outcry—O city, Dispersed art thou Philistia, all of thee, —For out of the north, a smoke cometh in, With 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, then, shall one answer the messengers of a nation? That Yahweh, hath founded Zion, And in her, shall seek refuge the oppressed of his people.
