Isaiah 14

For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
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 people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
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 it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
U dan kad ti Jahve dade da počineš od svojih stradanja, nemira i teškog robovanja kojima te pritisnuše,
That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
zapjevat ćeš ovu rugalicu kralju babilonskom: Kako nestade silnika? Kako nestade tlačenja?
The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
Jahve slomi štap zlikovački i žezlo vladarsko
He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
što je bijesno b§ilo narode udarcima bez kraja i konca, što je gnjevno vladalo narodima progoneć' ih nemilice.
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
Počiva, miruje sva zemlja kličući od radosti.
Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
Nad tobom se raduju čempresi i cedri libanonski: "Otkako si pao, ne dolaze nas više sjeći!"
Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
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.
All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
Svi ti oni progovaraju: "I ti si skršen k'o i mi, nama si sličan postao.
Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
Oholost se tvoja sruši u Podzemlje i buka tvojih harfa; pod tobom je ležaj od truleži, a crvi tvoj su pokrivač.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Kako pade sa nebesa, Svjetlonošo, sine Zorin? Kako li si oboren na zemlju, ti, vladaru naroda?
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon 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.
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Uzaći ću u visine oblačne, bit ću jednak Višnjemu.'
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
A sruši se u Podzemlje, u dubine provalije!"
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Koji te vide, motre te i o tebi razmišljaju: "Je li to čovjek koji je zemljom tresao i drmao kraljevstvima,
That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that 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?"
All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
Kraljevi naroda svi u časti počivaju, svaki u svojoj grobnici.
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
A ti si iz groba izbačen kao smeće odvratno, pokriven poklanima, mačem probodenima, koji su na ploče grobne pobacani k'o strvina zgažena!
Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Nećeš se združiti s njima u grobu, jer si zemlju svoju uništio i narod svoj poklao. I nikad se više neće spominjati pleme zlikovačko.
Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Spremite pokolj djeci za bezakonje otaca njihovih, da se više ne dignu da osvajaju zemlju i da ne pokriju lice svijeta!
For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
Ustat ću na njih - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - i zatrt ću Babilonu ime i ostatak, rod i porod - riječ je Jahvina.
I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
Dat ću ga u posjed ježevima i močvarama. Pomest ću ga metlom zatornom - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
Zakleo se Jahve nad Vojskama: "Što zamislih, zbit će se, što naumih, izvršit će se!
That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
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."
This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
Takva je odluka stvorena protiv čitave zemlje; takva je ruka pružena protiv svih naroda!
For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
A kad Jahve nad Vojskama odluči, tko da se usprotivi? Kada ruku ispruži, tko da je odvrati?
In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
One godine kad je umro kralj Ahaz, bi objavljeno ovo proroštvo:
Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery 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.
And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he 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.
Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
Kukajte, vrata! Zapomaži, grade! Strepi, sva Filistejo! Jer sa sjevera dim dolazi i čete njegove ne napušta nitko!
What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor 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."
