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!
And now, thus said YHWH, Your Creator, O Jacob, and your Fashioner, O Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you, I have called on your name—you [are] 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 you pass into waters, I [am] with you, And into floods, they do not overflow you, When you go into fire, you are not burned, And a flame does not burn against you.
3 Jer ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, Svetac Izraelov, tvoj spasitelj. Za otkupninu tvoju dajem Egipat, mjesto tebe dajem Kuš i Šebu.
For I—your God YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, I have appointed Egypt your atonement, Cush and Seba in your stead.
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 you were precious in My eyes, You were honored, and I have loved you, And I appoint men in your stead, And peoples instead of your life.
5 Ne boj se jer ja sam s tobom. S istoka ću ti dovest' potomstvo i sabrat ću te sa zapada.
Do not be afraid, for I [am] with you, I bring in your seed from the east, And I gather you 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 am saying to the north, “Give up,” And to the south, “Do not restrain.” Bring in 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.”
Everyone who is called by My Name, Even for My glory I have created him, I have formed him, indeed, I have made him.
8 Izvedi narod slijep, premda oči ima, i gluh, premda uši ima.
He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who 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!”
All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declares this, And causes us to hear former things? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, “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.
You [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.
11 Ja, ja sam Jahve, osim mene nema spasitelja.
I [am] YHWH, And besides Me there is no savior.
12 Ja sam prorekao, spasio i navijestio, i nema među vama tuđinca! Vi ste mi svjedoci, riječ je Jahvina, a ja sam Bog
I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And you [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And I [am] God.
13 od vječnosti - ja jesam! I nitko iz ruke moje ne izbavlja; što učinim, tko izmijeniti može?
Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who turns it back?
14 Ovako govori Jahve, otkupitelj vaš, Svetac Izraelov: “Radi vas poslah protiv Babilona, oborit ću prijevornice zatvorima i Kaldejci će udarit u kukanje.
Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I have sent to Babylon for your sake, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.
15 Ja sam Jahve, Svetac vaš, stvoritelj Izraelov, kralj vaš!”
I [am] YHWH, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.”
16 Ovako govori Jahve, koji put po moru načini i stazu po vodama silnim;
Thus said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong waters.
17 koji izvede bojna kola i konje, vojsku i junake, i oni padoše da više ne ustanu, zgasnuše, kao stijenj se utrnuše.
Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: “They lie down together—they do not rise, They have been extinguished, They have been quenched as flax.”
18 Ne spominjite se onog što se zbilo, nit' mislite na ono što je prošlo.
Do not remember former things, And do not consider ancient things.
19 Evo, činim nešto novo; već nastaje. Zar ne opažate? Da, put ću napraviti u pustinji, a staze u pustoši.
Behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs up, Do you not know it? Indeed, I put a way in a wilderness, In a desolate place—floods.
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 honors Me, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given waters in a wilderness, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people—My chosen.
21 I narod koji sam sebi sazdao moju će kazivati hvalu!
I have formed this people for Myself, They recount My praise.
22 Ali me ti, Jakove, nisi zazvao, niti si se zamorio oko mene, Izraele!
And you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied 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.
You have not brought to Me, The lamb of your burnt-offerings, And [with] your sacrifices you have not honored Me, I have not caused you to serve with a present, Nor wearied you with frankincense.
24 Nisi mi kupovao za novac trsku, nisi me sitio salom svojih žrtava; nego si me grijesima svojim mučio, bezakonjem svojim dosađivao mi.
You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, And have not filled Me [with] the fat of your sacrifices, Only—you have caused Me to serve with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.
25 A ja, ja radi sebe opačine tvoje brišem i grijeha se tvojih ne spominjem.
I [am] He who is blotting out Your transgressions for My own sake, And I do not remember your sins.
26 Podsjeti me, zajedno se sporimo, govori ti da se opravdaš.
Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you may be justified.
27 Prvi je otac tvoj sagriješio, posrednici tvoji od mene se odmetnuli,
Your first father sinned, And your interpreters transgressed against Me,
28 knezovi su tvoji oskvrnuli Svetište. Tad izručih Jakova prokletstvu, i poruzi Izraela.
And I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
