Izaija 14
1 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.
And the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and they shall rest on their land: and the stranger shall be added to them, yea, shall be added to the house of Jacob.
2 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.
And the Gentiles shall take them, and bring them into their place: and they shall inherit them, and they shall be multiplied upon the land for servants and handmaidens: and they that took them captives shall become captives [to them]; and they that had lordship over them shall be under [their] rule.
3 U dan kad ti Jahve dade da počineš od svojih stradanja, nemira i teškog robovanja kojima te pritisnuše,
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow and vexation, [and from] thy hard servitude wherein thou didst serve them.
4 zapjevat ćeš ovu rugalicu kralju babilonskom: Kako nestade silnika? Kako nestade tlačenja?
And thou shalt take up this lamentation against the king of Babylon, How has the extortioner ceased, and the taskmaster ceased!
5 Jahve slomi štap zlikovački i žezlo vladarsko
The Lord has broken the yoke of sinners, the yoke of princes.
6 što je bijesno b§ilo narode udarcima bez kraja i konca, što je gnjevno vladalo narodima progoneć' ih nemilice.
Having smitten a nation in wrath, with an incurable plague, smiting a nation with a wrathful plague, which spared [them] not, he rested in quiet.
7 Počiva, miruje sva zemlja kličući od radosti.
All the earth cries aloud with joy:
8 Nad tobom se raduju čempresi i cedri libanonski: “Otkako si pao, ne dolaze nas više sjeći!”
the trees also of Libanus rejoice against thee, and the cedar of Libanus, [saying], From the time that thou hast been laid low, no one has come up to cut us down.
9 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)
Hell from beneath is provoked to meet thee: all the great ones that have ruled over the earth have risen up together against thee, they that have raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 Svi ti oni progovaraju: “I ti si skršen k'o i mi, nama si sličan postao.
All shall answer and say to thee, Thou also hast been taken, even as we; and thou art numbered amongst us.
11 Oholost se tvoja sruši u Podzemlje i buka tvojih harfa; pod tobom je ležaj od truleži, a crvi tvoj su pokrivač. (Sheol h7585)
Thy glory has come down to Hades, and thy great mirth: under thee they shall spread corruption, and the worm shall be thy covering. (Sheol h7585)
12 Kako pade sa nebesa, Svjetlonošo, sine Zorin? Kako li si oboren na zemlju, ti, vladaru naroda?
How has Lucifer, that rose in the morning, fallen from heaven! He that sent [orders] to all the nations is crushed to the earth.
13 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.
But thou saidst in thine heart, I will go up to heaven, I will set my throne above the stars of heaven: I will sit on a lofty mount, on the lofty mountains toward the north:
14 Uzaći ću u visine oblačne, bit ću jednak Višnjemu.'
I will go up above the clouds: I will be like the Most High.
But now thou shalt go down to hell, even to the foundations of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
16 Koji te vide, motre te i o tebi razmišljaju: “Je li to čovjek koji je zemljom tresao i drmao kraljevstvima,
They that see thee shall wonder at thee, and say, This is the man that troubled the earth, that made kings to shake;
17 koji je u pustinju svijet obraćao i sa zemljom sravnjivao gradove, koji sužnjeva svojih nikad nije kući otpuštao?”
that made the whole world desolate, and destroyed its cities; he loosed not those who were in captivity.
18 Kraljevi naroda svi u časti počivaju, svaki u svojoj grobnici.
All the kings of the nations lie in honour, [every] man in his house.
19 A ti si iz groba izbačen kao smeće odvratno, pokriven poklanima, mačem probodenima, koji su na ploče grobne pobacani k'o strvina zgažena!
But thou shalt be cast forth on the mountains, as a loathed carcase, with many dead who have been pierced with swords, going down to the grave.
20 Nećeš se združiti s njima u grobu, jer si zemlju svoju uništio i narod svoj poklao. I nikad se više neće spominjati pleme zlikovačko.
As a garment defiled with blood shall not be pure, so neither shalt thou be pure; because thou hast destroyed my land, and hast slain my people: thou shalt not endure for ever, —[thou] an evil seed.
21 Spremite pokolj djeci za bezakonje otaca njihovih, da se više ne dignu da osvajaju zemlju i da ne pokriju lice svijeta!
Prepare thy children to be slain for the sins of their father; that they arise not, and inherit the earth, nor fill the earth with wars.
22 Ustat ću na njih - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - i zatrt ću Babilonu ime i ostatak, rod i porod - riječ je Jahvina.
And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will destroy their name, and remnant, and seed: thus saith the Lord.
23 Dat ću ga u posjed ježevima i močvarama. Pomest ću ga metlom zatornom - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
And I will make the region of Babylon desert, so that hedgehogs shall dwell [there], and it shall come to nothing: and I will make it a pit of clay for destruction.
24 Zakleo se Jahve nad Vojskama: “Što zamislih, zbit će se, što naumih, izvršit će se!
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be: and as I have purposed, so [the matter] shall remain:
25 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.”
[even] to destroy the Assyrians upon my land, and upon my mountains: and they shall be for trampling; and their yoke shall be taken away from them, and their glory shall be taken away from their shoulders.
26 Takva je odluka stvorena protiv čitave zemlje; takva je ruka pružena protiv svih naroda!
This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth: and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations.
27 A kad Jahve nad Vojskama odluči, tko da se usprotivi? Kada ruku ispruži, tko da je odvrati?
For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? and who shall turn back his uplifted hand?
28 One godine kad je umro kralj Ahaz, bi objavljeno ovo proroštvo:
In the year in which king Achaz died this word came.
29 Ne raduj se, sva Filistejo, što se slomi štap koji te udarao, jer će iz korijena zmijinjeg izaći ljutica što će izleći zmaja krilatoga.
Rejoice not, all ye Philistines, because the yoke of him that smote you is broken: for out of the seed of the serpent shall come forth the young asps, and their young shall come forth flying serpents,
30 Ubogi će pasti na mojim pašnjacima i u pouzdanju počivati siromasi; glađu ću pomoriti rod tvoj i pobiti što od tebe ostane.
And the poor shall be fed by him, and poor men shall rest in peace: but he shall destroy thy seed with hunger, and shall destroy thy remnant.
31 Kukajte, vrata! Zapomaži, grade! Strepi, sva Filistejo! Jer sa sjevera dim dolazi i čete njegove ne napušta nitko!
Howl, ye gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, [even] all the Philistines: for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no [possibility] of living.
32 Što će se tad odgovoriti glasnicima naroda? “Jahve zasnova Sion, i u njem su zaštićeni siromasi njegova naroda.”
And what shall the kings of the nations answer? That the Lord has founded Sion, and by him the poor of the people shall be saved.
