Izaija 43
1 Sada ovako govori Jahve, koji te stvorio, Jakove, koji te sazdao, Izraele: “Ne boj se, jer ja sam te otkupio; imenom sam te zazvao: ti si moj!
But now thus saith Jehovah, that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou art mine.
2 Kad preko vode prelaziš, s tobom sam; ili preko rijeke, neće te preplaviti. Pođeš li kroz vatru, nećeš izgorjeti, plamen te opaliti neće.
When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 Jer ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, Svetac Izraelov, tvoj spasitelj. Za otkupninu tvoju dajem Egipat, mjesto tebe dajem Kuš i Šebu.
For I [am] Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4 Jer dragocjen si u mojim očima, vrijedan si i ja te ljubim. Stog i dajem ljude za tebe i narode za život tvoj.
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee; and I will give men for thee, and peoples for thy life.
5 Ne boj se jer ja sam s tobom. S istoka ću ti dovest' potomstvo i sabrat ću te sa zapada.
Fear not, for I [am] with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6 Reći ću sjeveru: 'Daj mi ga!' a jugu 'Ne zadržavaj ga!' Sinove mi dovedi izdaleka i kćeri moje s kraja zemlje,
I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7 sve koji se mojim zovu imenom i koje sam na svoju slavu stvorio, koje sam sazdao i načinio.”
every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory: I have formed him, yea, I have made him.
8 Izvedi narod slijep, premda oči ima, i gluh, premda uši ima.
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
9 Neka se saberu sva plemena i neka se skupe narodi. Tko je od njih to prorekao i davno navijestio? Nek' dovedu svjedoke da se opravdaju, neka se čuje da se može reći: “Istina je!”
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them declareth this, or causeth us to hear former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth.
10 Jer vi ste mi svjedoci, riječ je Jahvina, i moje sluge koje sam izabrao, da biste znali i vjerovali i uvidjeli da sam to ja. Prije mene nijedan bog nije bio načinjen i neće poslije mene biti.
Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] HE: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 Ja, ja sam Jahve, osim mene nema spasitelja.
I, I [am] Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.
12 Ja sam prorekao, spasio i navijestio, i nema među vama tuđinca! Vi ste mi svjedoci, riječ je Jahvina, a ja sam Bog
It is I that have declared, and have saved, and have shewed, when there was no strange [god] among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, that I [am] God.
13 od vječnosti - ja jesam! I nitko iz ruke moje ne izbavlja; što učinim, tko izmijeniti može?
Yea, since the day was, I [am] HE, and there is none that delivereth out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it?
14 Ovako govori Jahve, otkupitelj vaš, Svetac Izraelov: “Radi vas poslah protiv Babilona, oborit ću prijevornice zatvorima i Kaldejci će udarit u kukanje.
Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15 Ja sam Jahve, Svetac vaš, stvoritelj Izraelov, kralj vaš!”
I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 Ovako govori Jahve, koji put po moru načini i stazu po vodama silnim;
Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,
17 koji izvede bojna kola i konje, vojsku i junake, i oni padoše da više ne ustanu, zgasnuše, kao stijenj se utrnuše.
who bringeth forth chariot and horse, army and power — they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as tow:
18 Ne spominjite se onog što se zbilo, nit' mislite na ono što je prošlo.
— Remember not the former things, neither consider the ancient things:
19 Evo, činim nešto novo; već nastaje. Zar ne opažate? Da, put ću napraviti u pustinji, a staze u pustoši.
behold, I do a new thing; now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the waste.
20 Slavit će me divlje zvijeri, čaglji i nojevi, jer vodu ću stvorit' u pustinji, rijeke u stepi, da napojim svoj narod, izabranika svoga.
The beast of the field shall glorify me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I will give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the waste, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 I narod koji sam sebi sazdao moju će kazivati hvalu!
This people have I formed for myself: they shall shew forth my praise.
22 Ali me ti, Jakove, nisi zazvao, niti si se zamorio oko mene, Izraele!
— But thou hast not called upon me, Jacob; for thou hast been weary of me, O Israel:
23 Nisi mi prinosio ovce za paljenicu, nisi me častio žrtvama. A ja te silio nisam na prinose, nisam ti dodijavao ištući kada.
thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt-offerings, neither hast thou glorified me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to toil with an oblation, nor wearied thee with incense.
24 Nisi mi kupovao za novac trsku, nisi me sitio salom svojih žrtava; nego si me grijesima svojim mučio, bezakonjem svojim dosađivao mi.
Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast made me to toil with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 A ja, ja radi sebe opačine tvoje brišem i grijeha se tvojih ne spominjem.
— I, I [am] He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.
26 Podsjeti me, zajedno se sporimo, govori ti da se opravdaš.
Put me in remembrance, let us plead together; rehearse thine own [cause], that thou mayest be justified.
27 Prvi je otac tvoj sagriješio, posrednici tvoji od mene se odmetnuli,
Thy first father hath sinned, and thy mediators have rebelled against me.
28 knezovi su tvoji oskvrnuli Svetište. Tad izručih Jakova prokletstvu, i poruzi Izraela.
And I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the ban, and Israel to reproaches.
