Izaija 41
1 Umuknite preda mnom, otoci, nek' novu snagu narodi priberu. Nek' se primaknu i progovore; zajedno pristupimo k sudu.
Keep silence before mee, O ylands, and let the people renue their strength: let the come neere, and let them speake: let vs come together into iudgement.
2 “Tko je podigao s Istoka onog kog ukorak prati Pobjeda? Tko mu izručuje narode i kraljeve podlaže? Prah su pod mačem njegovim, k'o pljevu ih njegov luk raspršuje.
Who raised vp iustice from the East, and called him to his foote? and gaue the nations before him, and subdued the Kings? he gaue them as dust to his sword, and as scattered stubble vnto his bowe.
3 Goni ih, napreduje pouzdano, noge mu se ceste ne dotiču.
He pursued them, and passed safely by the way that he had not gone with his feete.
4 Tko je to učinio i izvršio? Onaj koji odiskona zove naraštaje, ja, Jahve, koji sam prvi i bit ću ovaj isti s posljednjima!”
Who hath wrought and done it? he that calleth the generations from the beginning. I the Lord am the first, and with the last I am ye same.
5 Otoci gledaju i strah ih obuzima, dršću krajevi zemaljski, oni se bliže i već su tu.
The yles sawe it, and did feare, and the ends of the earth were abashed, drew neere, and came.
6 Svatko pomaže svome drugu i bratu svom zbori: “Hrabro!”
Euery man helped his neighbour, and saide to his brother, Be strong.
7 Ljevač bodri zlatara, onaj koji gladi čekićem bodri onog koji kuje na nakovnju. On govori o spajanju: “Dobro je”, i čavlima kip učvršćuje da se ne pomiče.
So the workeman comforted the founder, and he that smote with ye hammer, him that smote by course, saying, It is ready for the sodering, and he fastened it with nayles that it shoulde not be mooued.
8 Ti, Izraele, slugo moja, Jakove, kog sam izabrao, potomče Abrahama, mojega ljubimca!
But thou, Israel, art my seruant, and thou Iaakob, whom I haue chosen, the seede of Abraham my friend.
9 Ti koga uzeh s krajeva zemlje i pozvah s rubova njenih, ti kome rekoh: “Ti si sluga moj, izabrao sam te i nisam te odbacio.”
For I haue taken thee from the endes of the earth, and called thee before the chiefe thereof, and saide vnto thee, Thou art my seruant: I haue chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10 Ne boj se jer ja sam s tobom; ne obaziri se plaho jer ja sam Bog tvoj. Ja te krijepim i pomažem ti, podupirem te pobjedničkom desnicom.
Feare thou not, for I am with thee: be not afraide, for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, and helpe thee, and will susteine thee with the right hand of my iustice.
11 Gle, postidjet će se i smesti svi koji su na tebe bjesnjeli, bit će uništeni i propast će oni što se s tobom parbiše!
Beholde, all they that prouoke thee, shalbe ashamed, and confounded: they shalbe as nothing, and they that striue with thee, shall perish.
12 Tražit ćeš svoje protivnike, ali ih nećeš naći. Bit će uništeni, svedeni na ništa oni koji protiv tebe vojuju.
Thou shalt seeke them and shalt not finde them: to wit, the men of thy strife, for they shall be as nothing, and the men that warre against thee, as a thing of nought.
13 Jer ja, Jahve, Bog tvoj, krijepim desnicu tvoju i kažem ti: “Ne boj se, ja ti pomažem.”
For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying vnto thee, Feare not, I wil helpe thee.
14 Ne boj se, Jakove, crviću, Izraele, ličinko, ja sam pomoć tvoja - riječ je Jahvina - Svetac Izraelov tvoj je otkupitelj.
Feare not, thou worme, Iaakob, and ye men of Israel: I wil helpe thee, sayth the Lord and thy redeemer the holy one of Israel.
15 Gle, činim te mlatilom oštrim, novim, dvostrukih zubaca; mlatit ćeš i satirati brda, u prah ćeš pretvoriti bregove.
Behold, I wil make thee a roller, and a newe threshing instrument hauing teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountaines, and bring them to pouder, and shalt make the hilles as chaffe.
16 Vijat ćeš ih, vjetar će ih odnijeti, vihor će ih raspršiti. A ti ćeš kliktati u Jahvi, dičit ćeš se Svecem Izraelovim.
Thou shalt fanne them, and the winde shall carie them away, and the whirlewinde shall scatter them: and thou shalt reioyce in the Lord, and shalt glory in the holy one of Israel.
17 Ubogi i bijedni vodu traže, a nje nema! Jezik im se osuši od žeđi. Ja, Jahve, njih ću uslišiti, ja, Bog Izraelov, ostavit' ih neću.
When the poore and the needy seeke water, and there is none (their tongue faileth for thirst: I the Lord will heare them: I the God of Israel will not forsake them)
18 U goleti bregova otvorit ću rijeke i posred dolova izvore. Pustinju ću pretvoriti u močvaru, a u vrela sušnu zemlju.
I will open riuers in the toppes of the hils, and fountaines in the middes of the valleis: I will make the wildernesse as a poole of water, and the waste land as springs of water.
19 Posadit ću u pustinji cedar, bagrem, mirtu i maslinu. Stepu ću pošumiti čempresom, brijestom i šimširom zajedno.
I will set in the wildernesse the cedar, the shittah tree, and the mirre tree, and the pine tree, and I will set in the wildernesse the firre tree, the elme and the boxe tree together.
20 Nek' svi vide i nek' znaju, nek' promisle i nek' shvate: ruka Jahvina to učini, Svetac Izraelov stvori sve.
Therefore let them see and knowe, and let them consider and vnderstande together that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the holy one of Israel hath created it.
21 “Iznesite svoj spor, kaže Jahve, predočite dokaze, kaže kralj Jakovljev.
Stand to your cause, saith the Lord: bring forth your strong reasons, saith ye King of Iaakob.
22 Nek' pristupe i nek' nam objave ono što će se zbiti. TÓa što su nam otkrili o onom što bijaše, što se ispunilo, da o tom mislimo? Il' objavite što će biti, da doznamo ono što dolazi.
Let them bring foorth, and let them tell vs what shall come: let them shew the former things what they be, that wee may consider them, and knowe the latter ende of them: either declare vs things for to come.
23 Otkrijte nam što će se poslije zbiti, i poznat ćemo da ste bogovi. Učinite nešto, dobro ili zlo, da se začudimo i prepadnemo zajedno.
Shewe the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods: yea, doe good or doe euill, that we may declare it, and beholde it together.
24 Ali vi niste ništa i djela su vam ništavna, gnusan je koji vas izabere.”
Beholde, ye are of no value, and your making is of naught: man hath chosen an abomination by them.
25 Podigoh ga sa sjevera da dođe, zazvah ga po imenu s istoka. Kao blato gazio je namjesnike, kao što po glini lončar gazi.
I haue raised vp from the North, and he shall come: from the East sunne shall he cal vpon my Name, and shall come vpon princes as vpon clay, and as the potter treadeth myre vnder the foote.
26 Tko je to odiskona objavio da bismo znali, unaprijed prorekao da bismo rekli: istina je? Ali nikog nema tko bi objavio, niti koga da bi navijestio, niti koga da čuje riječi vaše.
Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may knowe? or before time, that we may say, He is righteous? Surely there is none that sheweth: surely there is none that declareth: surely there is none that heareth your wordes.
27 Ja prvi rekoh Sionu: “Gle, evo ih”; prvi Jeruzalemu poslah glasnika vijesti radosne.
I am the first, that saieth to Zion, Beholde, beholde them: and I will giue to Ierusalem one that shall bring good tidings.
28 Gledao sam, ali ne bješe nikoga, ni jednoga od njih da savjet dade, da ih pitam i da odgovore.
But when I behelde, there was none, and when I inquired of them, there was no counsellor, and when I demaunded of them, they answered not a woorde.
29 Svi zajedno ništa su, ništavna su djela njihova, vjetar i ispraznost njihovi kipovi.
Beholde, they are all vanitie: their worke is of nothing, their images are wind and confusion.
