¹For 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.

¹Lebo Hospodin sa zľutuje nad Jakobom a zase si vyvolí Izraela a dá im, aby sa usadili na svojej zemi a odpočinuli si, a pohostín sa pripojí k nim, a pridružia sa k domu Jakobovmu.

²And 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.

²A pojmú ich národy a dovedú ich na ich miesto, a dom Izraelov si ich dedične prisvojí na pôde Hospodinovej za sluhov a za dievky, a zajmú tých, ktorí ich boli zajali, a budú panovať nad tými, ktorí ich nemilosrdne honili.

³And 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,

³A stane sa v deň, v ktorý ti dá Hospodin odpočinok od tvojho bolestného trápenia a od tvojho strachu a od tvrdej služby, ktorú si bol podrobený konať,

⁴That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

⁴že použiješ tohoto príslovia o babylonskom kráľovi a riekneš: Ako len prestal a utíchol pohonič! Prestalo dychtenie po zlate!

⁵The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

⁵Hospodin polámal palicu bezbožných a prút panujúcich,

⁶He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

⁶toho, ktorý bil ľudí v prchlivosti neprestajnými údermi, ktorý deptajúc vládol v hneve nad národami; bolo to prenasledovanie bez šetrenia.

⁷The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

⁷Odpočíva; je na pokoji celá zem; plesajú!

⁸Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

⁸Ešte len i jedle sa radujú nad tebou, cedry Libanona, hovoriac: Odkedy si ľahol, neprišiel nikto hore proti nám, kto by zoťal.

⁹Hell 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.

⁹Peklo zdola zbúrilo sa pre teba, vústrety tvojmu príchodu; zobudilo pre teba mŕtvych, všetkých náčelníkov zeme; spôsobilo to, že povstali so svojich trónov všetci kráľovia národov.

¹⁰All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

¹⁰Tí všetci odpovedajú a hovoria ti: Či si aj ty zomdlel ako my? Nám si sa stal podobným?

¹¹Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

¹¹Tvoja pýcha je svrhnutá do pekla i so zvukom tvojich hárf; moľmi ti je postlané, a červy ťa prikrývajú.

¹²How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

¹²Ako si len padol s nebies, jasná hviezdo, synu rannej zory! Zoťatý si na zem, ktorý si porážal národy.

¹³For 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:

¹³A veď ty si povedal vo svojom srdci: Vystúpim hore do neba; vyvýšim svoj trón nad hviezdy silného Boha a posadím sa na vrchu slávnostného shromaždenia Božieho, v najďaľších krajoch severa;

¹⁴I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

¹⁴vystúpim na výšiny oblakov a budem podobný Najvyššiemu!

¹⁵Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

¹⁵Ale si svrhnutý do pekla, do najzadnejších kútov jamy.

¹⁶They 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;

¹⁶Tí, ktorí ťa uvidia, uprú na teba svoj zrak; budú ťa pozorovať a povedia: Či je toto ten muž, ktorý to pôsobil, aby sa triasla zem, ktorý pôsobil to, aby sa chvely kráľovstvá,

¹⁷That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

¹⁷ktorý podvracal okruh sveta, takže bol jako pustina, a jeho mestá boril, svojich väzňov neprepúšťal domov?

¹⁸All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

¹⁸Všetci kráľovia národov, všetci, koľko ich bolo, ležia pochovaní v sláve, každý vo svojom dome;

¹⁹But 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.

¹⁹ale ty si odvrhnutý preč od svojho hrobu jako ohyzdný letorast, odiaty pobitými, prebodnutými od meča, ktorí sostupujú medzi kamene jamy, jako pošliapaná mrcina.

²⁰Thou 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.

²⁰Nebudeš s nimi spolu ležať v hrobe, lebo si zkazil svoju zem, svoj ľud si povraždil; nebude nikdy až na veky menované semeno zlostníkov.

²¹Prepare 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.

²¹Pripravte jeho synom bitúnok pre neprávosť ich otcov, aby nepovstali a nezaujali dedične zeme, a naplnil by sa povrch okruhu sveta mestami,

²²For 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.

²²lebo ináče povstanem proti nim, hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, a vytnem Babylonu meno i ostatok, syna i vnuka, hovorí Hospodin.

²³I 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.

²³A obrátim ho v majetok ježov a v močiare a vymetiem ho metlou vykántrenia, hovorí Hospodin Zástupov.

²⁴The 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:

²⁴Hospodin Zástupov prisahal a riekol: Ba cele iste bude tak, ako som myslel, a jako som uradil, tak to bude stáť,

²⁵That 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.

²⁵to jest, že skrúšim Assúra vo svojej zemi, a na svojich vrchoch ho pošliapem, a tak uhne s nich jeho jarmo, i jeho bremeno uhne s ich pleca.

²⁶This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

²⁶To je rada, uradená o celej zemi, a to je ruka, vystretá na všetky národy.

²⁷For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

²⁷Lebo Hospodin Zástupov uzavrel v rade, nuž ktože zruší? A tá jeho vystretá ruka, ktože ju odvráti?

²⁸In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

²⁸Roku, ktorého zomrel kráľ Achaz, bolo vyrieknuté toto bremeno:

²⁹Rejoice 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.

²⁹Neraduj sa, zem Filištínov, celá, že je polámaný prút toho, ktorý ťa šľahal! Lebo z koreňa hada vyjde bazilišek, a jeho plod bude ohnivý had lietajúci.

³⁰And 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.

³⁰A tak budú pásť prvorodení chudobných, a núdzni sa bezpečne položia so svojím stádom, ale tvoj koreň umorím hladom, a to, čo ostane z teba, pobijú.

³¹Howl, 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.

³¹Nože kvíľ, ó, bráno; krič, ó, mesto! Rozplynúť sa musíš, ty, celá zem Filištínov! Lebo od severa prijde dym, ani nebude toho, ktorý by sa oddelil od jeho shromaždení a nedostanovil sa.

³²What 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.

³²A čože odpovedia poslovia národa? Že Hospodin pevne založil Sion, a že naň sa utečú utrápení jeho ľudu.
