Isaiah 14
1 For the Lord wil haue compassion of Iaakob, and wil yet chuse Israel, and cause them to rest in their owne lande: and the stranger shall ioyne him selfe vnto them, and they shall cleaue to the house of Iaakob.
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.
2 And the people shall receiue them and bring them to their owne place, and the house of Israel shall possesse them in the land of the Lord, for seruants and handmaids: and they shall take them prisoners, whose captiues they were, and haue rule ouer their oppressours.
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.
3 And in that day when the Lord shall giue thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy feare, and from the sore bodage, wherein thou didest serue,
U dan kad ti Jahve dade da počineš od svojih stradanja, nemira i teškog robovanja kojima te pritisnuše,
4 Then shalt thou take vp this prouerbe against the King of Babel, and say, Howe hath the oppressor ceased? and the gold thirsty Babel rested?
zapjevat ćeš ovu rugalicu kralju babilonskom: Kako nestade silnika? Kako nestade tlačenja?
5 The Lord hath broken the rodde of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers:
Jahve slomi štap zlikovački i žezlo vladarsko
6 Which smote the people in anger with a continuall plague, and ruled the nations in wrath: if any were persecuted, he did not let.
što je bijesno b§ilo narode udarcima bez kraja i konca, što je gnjevno vladalo narodima progoneć' ih nemilice.
7 The whole worlde is at rest and is quiet: they sing for ioye.
Počiva, miruje sva zemlja kličući od radosti.
8 Also the firre trees reioyced of thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid downe, no hewer came vp against vs.
Nad tobom se raduju čempresi i cedri libanonski: “Otkako si pao, ne dolaze nas više sjeći!”
9 Hel beneath is mooued for thee to meete thee at thy comming, raising vp the deade for thee, euen all the princes of the earth, and hath raised from their thrones all the Kinges of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
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)
10 All they shall crie, and saie vnto thee, Art thou become weake also as we? art thou become like vnto vs?
Svi ti oni progovaraju: “I ti si skršen k'o i mi, nama si sličan postao.
11 Thy pompe is brought downe to ye graue, and the sounde of thy violes: the worme is spred vnder thee, and the wormes couer thee. (Sheol h7585)
Oholost se tvoja sruši u Podzemlje i buka tvojih harfa; pod tobom je ležaj od truleži, a crvi tvoj su pokrivač. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heauen, O Lucifer, sonne of the morning? and cutte downe to the grounde, which didest cast lottes vpon the nations?
Kako pade sa nebesa, Svjetlonošo, sine Zorin? Kako li si oboren na zemlju, ti, vladaru naroda?
13 Yet thou saidest in thine heart, I will ascende into heauen, and exalt my throne aboue beside the starres of God: I will sitte also vpon the mount of the Congregation in the sides of the North.
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.
14 I wil ascend aboue ye height of the cloudes, and I will be like the most high.
Uzaći ću u visine oblačne, bit ću jednak Višnjemu.'
A sruši se u Podzemlje, u dubine provalije!” (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee, shall looke vpon thee and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, and that did shake the kingdomes?
Koji te vide, motre te i o tebi razmišljaju: “Je li to čovjek koji je zemljom tresao i drmao kraljevstvima,
17 He made the worlde as a wildernesse, and destroied the cities thereof, and opened not the house of his prisoners.
koji je u pustinju svijet obraćao i sa zemljom sravnjivao gradove, koji sužnjeva svojih nikad nije kući otpuštao?”
18 All the Kings of the nations, euen they all sleepe in glorie, euery one in his owne house.
Kraljevi naroda svi u časti počivaju, svaki u svojoj grobnici.
19 But thou art cast out of thy graue like an abominable branch: like the raiment of those that are slaine, and thrust thorowe with a sword, which goe downe to the stones of the pit, as a carkeise troden vnder feete.
A ti si iz groba izbačen kao smeće odvratno, pokriven poklanima, mačem probodenima, koji su na ploče grobne pobacani k'o strvina zgažena!
20 Thou shalt not be ioyned with them in the graue, because thou hast destroied thine owne lande, and slaine thy people: the seede of the wicked shall not be renoumed for euer.
Nećeš se združiti s njima u grobu, jer si zemlju svoju uništio i narod svoj poklao. I nikad se više neće spominjati pleme zlikovačko.
21 Prepare a slaughter for his children, for the iniquitie of their fathers: let them not rise vp nor possesse the land, nor fil the face of the world with enemies.
Spremite pokolj djeci za bezakonje otaca njihovih, da se više ne dignu da osvajaju zemlju i da ne pokriju lice svijeta!
22 For I wil rise vp against them (sayth the Lord of hostes) and will cut off from Babel the name and the remnant and the sonne, and the nephew, sayth the Lord:
Ustat ću na njih - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - i zatrt ću Babilonu ime i ostatak, rod i porod - riječ je Jahvina.
23 And I wil make it a possession to ye hedgehogge, and pooles of water, and I will sweepe it with the besome of destruction, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Dat ću ga u posjed ježevima i močvarama. Pomest ću ga metlom zatornom - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
24 The Lord of hostes hath sworne, saying, Surely like as I haue purposed, so shall it come to passe, and as I haue consulted, it shall stand:
Zakleo se Jahve nad Vojskama: “Što zamislih, zbit će se, što naumih, izvršit će se!
25 That I will breake to pieces Asshur in my land, and vpon my mountaines will I treade him vnder foote: so that his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden shall be taken from off their shoulder.
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.”
26 This is the counsell that is consulted vpon the whole worlde, and this is the hande stretched out ouer all the nations,
Takva je odluka stvorena protiv čitave zemlje; takva je ruka pružena protiv svih naroda!
27 Because the Lord of hostes hath determined it, and who shall disanull it? and his hande is stretched out, and who shall turne it away?
A kad Jahve nad Vojskama odluči, tko da se usprotivi? Kada ruku ispruži, tko da je odvrati?
28 In the yeere that King Ahaz died, was this burden.
One godine kad je umro kralj Ahaz, bi objavljeno ovo proroštvo:
29 Reioyce not, (thou whole Palestina) because the rod of him that did beat thee, is broken for out of the serpents roote shall come forth a cockatrise, and the fruit therof shalbe a firy flying serpent.
Ne raduj se, sva Filistejo, što se slomi štap koji te udarao, jer će iz korijena zmijinjeg izaći ljutica što će izleći zmaja krilatoga.
30 For the first borne of the poore shall be fed, and the needie shall lie downe in safetie: and I will kill thy roote with famine, and it shall slay thy remnant.
Ubogi će pasti na mojim pašnjacima i u pouzdanju počivati siromasi; glađu ću pomoriti rod tvoj i pobiti što od tebe ostane.
31 Howle, O gate, crie, O citie: thou whole lande of Palestina art dissolued, for there shall come from the North a smoke, and none shalbe alone, at his time appointed.
Kukajte, vrata! Zapomaži, grade! Strepi, sva Filistejo! Jer sa sjevera dim dolazi i čete njegove ne napušta nitko!
32 What shall then one answere the messengers of the Gentiles? That the Lord hath stablished Zion, and the poore of his people shall trust in it.
Što će se tad odgovoriti glasnicima naroda? “Jahve zasnova Sion, i u njem su zaštićeni siromasi njegova naroda.”
