Isaiah, 25

1. O Lord, you are my God! I will exalt you, and I will confess your name. For you have accomplished miracles. Your plan, from antiquity, is faithful. Amen.

1. Jahve, ti si Bog moj, uznosim te, tvoje ime slavim, jer si proveo èudesan naum, smišljen od davnine, istinit i vjeran,

2. For you have appointed a city as a tomb, a strong city for ruination, a house of foreigners: so that it may not be a city, and so that it may not be rebuilt forever.

2. jer grad si pretvorio u hrpu kamenja, a mjesto utvrðeno u ruševine. Tvrða neprijateljska više nije grad, dovijeka se više obnoviti neæe.

3. Concerning this, a strong people will praise you; a city with a robust people will fear you.

3. Zato te slavi narod snažan, grad moænih plemena tebe se boji;

4. For you have been the strength of the poor, the strength of the indigent in his tribulation, a refuge from the whirlwind, a shadow from the heat. For the spirit of the mighty is like a whirlwind striking against a wall.

4. jer ti si utoèište nevoljnom, utoèište ubogom u nevolji; ti si skrovište od pljuska i od žege zaklon, jer æud je silnièka kao pljusak zimski;

5. You will bring low the uprising of foreigners, just as heat brings thirst. And like heat under a torrential cloud, you will cause the offshoot of the strong to wither away.

5. kao žega nad zemljom sušnom ti gušiš graju neprijatelja; kao žega sjenom oblaka prekinu se silniku pjesma pobjednièka.

6. And the Lord of hosts will cause all the peoples on this mountain to feast on fatness, to feast on wine, a fatness full of marrow, a purified wine.

6. I Jahve nad Vojskama spremit æe svim narodima na ovoj gori gozbu od pretiline, gozbu od izvrsna vina, od pretiline soène, od vina staložena.

7. And he will cast down violently, on this mountain, the face of the chains, with which all peoples had been bound, and the net, with which all nations had been covered.

7. Na ovoj gori on æe raskinuti zastor što zastiraše sve narode, pokrivaè koji sva plemena pokrivaše

8. He will violently cast down death forever. And the Lord God will take away the tears from every face, and he will take away the disgrace of his people from the entire earth. For the Lord has spoken it.

8. i uništit æe smrt zasvagda. I suzu æe sa svakog lica Jahve, Gospod, otrti - sramotu æe svog naroda na svoj zemlji skinuti: tako Jahve reèe.

9. And they will say in that day: “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is the Lord! We have endured for him. We will exult and rejoice in his salvation.”

9. I reæi æe se u onaj dan: "Gle, ovo je Bog naš, u njega se uzdasmo, on nas je spasio; ovo je Jahve u koga se uzdasmo! Klièimo i veselimo se spasenju njegovu,

10. For the hand of the Lord will rest upon this mountain. And Moab will be trampled under him, just as stubble is worn away by a wagon.

10. jer ruka Jahvina na ovoj gori poèiva!" Moab je izgažen na svome mjestu kao što se gazi slama na buništu;

11. And he will extend his hands under him, like a swimmer extending his hands to swim. And he will bring down his glory with a clap of his hands.

11. ondje on razmahuje rukama kao što ih razmahuje plivaè kada pliva. Ali Jahve obara njegovu ponositost i propinjanja ruku njegovih.

12. And the fortifications of your sublime walls will fall, and be brought low, and be torn down to the ground, even to the dust.

12. Visoku tvrðu tvojih zidina on razvaljuje, na zemlju baca, u prah ruši.
