Isaiah 14
1 But the Lord will be merciful to the descendants of Jacob. Once again he will choose Israel and he will bring them back to live once more in their own land. Foreigners will come and join them there, and they will unite with the descendants of Jacob.
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.
2 Nations will go with them and escort them to their own land. The foreigners who stay in the Lord's land will serve the Israelites. In this way the captors become their captives, and they rule over their former oppressors.
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.
3 At that time the Lord will give you relief from your pain and trouble, and from the hard labor you were forced to do.
I kad te smiri Gospod od truda tvojega i muke i od ljutoga ropstva u kom si robovao,
4 You will mock the king of Babylon, saying, “How your oppressive rule has been ended, and your insolence stopped!
Tada æeš izvoditi ovu prièu o caru Vavilonskom i reæi æeš: kako nesta nastojnika, nesta danka?
5 The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked, the rulers' scepter.
Slomi Gospod štap bezbožnicima, palicu vladaocima,
6 You kept on furiously hitting foreign peoples without stopping, and aggressively ruled nations with unrestrained persecution.
Koja je ljuto bila narode bez prestanka, i gnjevno vladala nad narodima, i gonila nemilice.
7 Now the whole earth rests peacefully, and everyone starts celebrating!
Sva zemlja poèiva i mirna je; pjevaju iza glasa.
8 The cypress and cedar trees are glad you're gone. They sing, ‘Since you were cut down no woodcutters are coming to cut us down!’
Vesele se s tebe i jele i kedri Livanski govoreæi: otkako si pao, ne dolazi niko da nas sijeèe.
9 Those in the grave beneath are keen to meet you when you arrive. It wakes the spirits of the dead to welcome you, those of all the rulers of the earth. All the kings of the nations stand up from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
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)
10 They will all speak up and tell you, ‘So you too are as weak as we are—you've become just like us!
Svi æe progovoriti i reæi tebi: i ti li si iznemogao kao mi? izjednaèio se s nama?
11 Your pride is now buried with you in the grave, along with the harp music you loved. Maggots are the bed you lie on, and worms are your blanket.’ (Sheol h7585)
Spusti se u pakao ponos tvoj, zveka psaltira tvojih; prostrti su poda te moljci, a crvi su ti pokrivaè. (Sheol h7585)
12 Morning star, son of the dawn, how you have fallen from heaven! Destroyer of nations, you have been cut down to the ground!
Kako pade s neba, zvijezdo danice, kæeri zorina? kako se obori na zemlju koji si gazio narode?
13 You said to yourself: ‘I will ascend to heaven. I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit enthroned on the mountain of meeting, the summit of the northern mountain.
A govorio si u srcu svom: izaæi æu na nebo, više zvijezda Božijih podignuæu prijesto svoj, i sješæu na gori zbornoj na strani sjevernoj;
14 I will ascend to the high places above the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
Izaæi æu u visine nad oblake, izjednaèiæu se s višnjim.
A ti se u pakao svrže, u dubinu grobnu. (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you will stare at you, examining you closely, asking, ‘Is this the man who shook the earth, who made kingdoms tremble?
Koji te vide pogledaæe na te, i gledaæe te govoreæi: to li je onaj koji je tresao zemlju, koji je drmao carstva,
17 Is this the one who turned the world into a desert, destroyed cities, and never let his prisoners return home?’
Koji je vasiljenu obraæao u pustinju, i gradove njezine raskopavao? roblje svoje nije otpuštao kuæi?
18 All the other kings of the nations lie in splendor in their great mausoleums.
Svi carevi narodni, svikoliki, leže slavno, svaki u svojoj kuæi.
19 But you are thrown out of your grave like a branch nobody wants, buried underneath the bodies of those killed by the sword. You are like a corpse trodden underfoot. You are tossed into a pit full of rocks—
A ti se izbaci iz groba svojega, kao gadna grana, kao haljina pobijenijeh, maèem pobodenijeh, koji slaze u jamu kamenu, kao pogaženi strv.
20 you will not be buried like those other kings because you destroyed your own land and killed your own people. The descendants of those who do evil will never survive.
Neæeš se združiti s njima pogrebom, jer si zemlju svoju zatro, narod si svoj ubio; neæe se spominjati sjeme zlikovaèko dok je vijeka.
21 Get ready to execute his sons because of their fathers' sins. Don't let them take over the earth; don't let them fill the whole world with their cities.
Pripravite pokolj sinovima njegovijem za bezakonje otaca njihovijeh da se ne podignu i ne naslijede zemlje i ne napune vasiljene gradovima.
22 I will come and attack them, declares the Lord Almighty. I will destroy everything: their reputation, those who remain, their children, and their descendants, says the Lord.
Jer æu ustati na njih, govori Gospod nad vojskama, i zatræu ime Vavilonu i ostatak, i sina i unuka, govori Gospod.
23 I will make Babylon into a place for water birds and into marshland. I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction, declares the Lord Almighty.”
I naèiniæu od njega stan æukovima i jezera vodena, i omešæu ga metlom pogibli, govori Gospod nad vojskama.
24 The Lord Almighty has sworn an oath: It will be as I have planned. It will happen as I have decided.
Zakle se Gospod nad vojskama govoreæi: doista, biæe kako sam smislio, i kako sam naumio izvršiæe se.
25 I will smash the Assyrians when they are in my country Israel; I will trample them underfoot on my mountains. I will remove their yoke from my people, and take away the burdens they place on my people's shoulders.
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.
26 This is the plan I have made regarding the whole earth; my hand stretches out to control all the nations.
To je namišljeno svoj zemlji, i to je ruka podignuta na sve narode.
27 The Lord Almighty has made his plan, and who will block it? His hand stretches out, and who will push back against it?
Jer je Gospod nad vojskama naumio, ko æe razbiti? i njegovu ruku podignutu ko æe odvratiti?
28 The following message came in the year King Ahaz died.
Godine koje umrije car Ahaz bi objavljeno ovo breme:
29 All you Philistines, don't celebrate the fact that the rod that was hitting you is broken, because from the root of that snake will grow up a viper, its fruit will be a flying serpent.
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.
30 The poor will have food, and the needy will live in safety, but you Philistines will die in a famine, and I will kill those who survive.
I prvenci siromaški nahraniæe se, i ubogi æe poèivati bez straha; a tvoj æu korijen umoriti glaðu, i ostatak tvoj on æe pobiti.
31 Howl, gates! Weep, town! Melt away in feat, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke is approaching from the north—an army with no soldier hanging back.
Ridajte, vrata; vièi, grade; rastopila si se, sva zemljo Filistejska, jer sa sjevera ide dim i niko se neæe osamiti u zborovima njegovijem.
32 What will be the answer given to the messengers from that nation? “The Lord was the one who laid the foundations of Zion, and that's where his suffering people will be kept safe.”
I šta æe se odgovoriti poslanicima narodnijem? Da je Gospod osnovao Sion i da æe u nj utjecati nevoljnici naroda njegova.
