Isaija 25
1 Gospode, ti si Bog moj, uzvišivaæu te, slaviæu ime tvoje, jer si uèinio èudesa; namjere tvoje od starine vjera su i istina.
O LORD, You are my God! I will exalt You; I will praise Your name. For You have worked wonders— plans formed long ago— in perfect faithfulness.
2 Jer si od grada naèinio gomilu, i od tvrdoga grada zidine; od grada dvor za strance, dovijeka se neæe sagraditi.
Indeed, You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin. The fortress of strangers is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
3 Zato æe te slaviti narod silan, grad strašnijeh naroda bojaæe te se.
Therefore, a strong people will honor You. The cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
4 Jer si bio krjepost ubogome, krjepost siromahu u nevolji njegovoj, utoèište od poplave, zaklon od žege, jer je gnjev nasilnièki kao poplava koja obaljuje zid.
For You have been a refuge for the poor, a stronghold for the needy in distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like rain against a wall,
5 Vrevu inostranaca prekinuo si kao pripeku na suhu mjestu; kao pripeka sjenom od oblaka, tako se pjevanje nasilnika prekide.
like heat in a dry land. You subdue the uproar of foreigners. As the shade of a cloud cools the heat, so the song of the ruthless is silenced.
6 I Gospod æe nad vojskama uèiniti svijem narodima na ovoj gori gozbu od pretila mesa, gozbu od èista vina, od pretila mesa s moždanima, od vina bez taloga.
On this mountain the LORD of Hosts will prepare a banquet for all the peoples, a feast of aged wine, of choice meat, of finely aged wine.
7 I pokvariæe na ovoj gori zastiraè kojim su zastrti svi narodi, i pokrivaè kojim su pokriveni svi narodi.
On this mountain He will swallow up the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;
8 Uništiæe smrt zauvijek, i utræe Gospod Gospod suze sa svakoga lica, i sramotu naroda svojega ukinuæe sa sve zemlje; jer Gospod reèe.
He will swallow up death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth.
9 I reæi æe se u ono vrijeme: gle, ovo je Bog naš, njega èekasmo, i spašæe nas; ovo je Gospod, njega èekasmo; radovaæemo se i veseliæemo se za spasenje njegovo.
And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He has saved us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited. Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
10 Jer æe ruka Gospodnja poèinuti na ovoj gori, a Moav æe se izgaziti na svom mjestu kao što se gazi slama za gnoj.
For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trodden into the dung pile.
11 I razmahnuæe rukama svojim sred njega, kao što razmahuje plivaè da pliva, i oboriæe oholost njegovu mišicama ruku svojih.
He will spread out his hands within it, as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim. His pride will be brought low, despite the skill of his hands.
12 I grad i visoke zidove tvoje sniziæe, oboriæe, baciæe na zemlju u prah.
The high-walled fortress will be brought down, cast to the ground, into the dust.
