Izaija 45
1 Ovako govori Jahve o Kiru, pomazaniku svome: “Primih ga za desnicu da pred njim oborim narode i raspašem bokove kraljevima, da rastvorim pred njim vratnice, da mu nijedna vrata ne budu zatvorena.
Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him — and I will loose the loins of kings; to open before him the two-leaved doors, and the gates shall not be shut:
2 Ja ću hoditi pred tobom da poravnam uzvisine, da razbijem mjedene vratnice, da slomim željezne prijevornice.
I will go before thee, and make the elevated places plain; I will break in pieces the brazen doors, and cut asunder the bars of iron;
3 Dajem ti tajna blaga i skrivena bogatstva, da bi spoznao da sam ja Jahve koji te zovem po imenu, Bog Izraelov.
and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places; that thou mayest know that I, Jehovah, who call thee by name, [am] the God of Israel.
4 Radi sluge svog Jakova i Izraela, svog izabranika, po imenu ja te pozvah, imenovah te premda me znao nisi.
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have called thee by thy name; I surnamed thee, though thou didst not know me;
5 Ja sam Jahve i nema drugoga; osim mene Boga nema. Iako me ne poznaš, naoružah te:
I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else; there is no God beside me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me;
6 nek' se znade od istoka do zapada da izvan mene sve je ništavilo.” Ja sam Jahve i nema drugoga;
— that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the going down, that there is none beside me. I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else;
7 ja tvorim svjetlost i stvaram tamu. Ja stvaram sreću i dovodim nesreću, ja, Jahve, činim sve to.
forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.
8 Rosite, nebesa, odozgo, i oblaci, daždite pravednošću. Neka se rastvori zemlja da procvjeta spasenje, da proklija izbavljenje! Ja, Jahve, stvaram sve.
Drop down, [ye] heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and with it let righteousness spring up. I, Jehovah, have created it.
9 Jao onome tko raspravlja s tvorcem svojim, a sud je među glinenim sudovima! Kaže li glina lončaru: “Što radiš?” ili djelo njegovo: “Kljast si!”
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let a potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that formeth it, What makest thou? Or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Jao onom koji kaže ocu: “Što si rodio?” Ili ženi: “Što si na svijet dala?”
Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What begettest thou? Or to [his] mother, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Ovako govori Jahve, Svetac Izraelov, njegov tvorac: “Zar je vaše da me o mojoj djeci pitate i da mi nad djelom ruku mojih zapovijedate?
Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.
12 Ja sam načinio zemlju i čovjeka na njoj stvorio; svojim sam rukama razapeo nebesa i zapovijedam svim vojskama njihovim.
It is I that have made the earth, and created man upon it; it is I, my hands, that have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 Ja sam ga podigao da pobijedi i poravnao sam mu sve putove. On će obnoviti moj Grad i sužnje moje vratiti bez otkupnine i naknade.” Tako kaže Jahve nad Vojskama.
It is I that have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith Jehovah of hosts.
14 Ovako govori Jahve: “Ratari Egipta i trgovci Kuša, i Sebejci, ljudi rasta visoka, prijeći će tebi i tvoji će biti; za tobom će ići okovani, tebi će se klanjati i molit će ti se: 'Jedino je kod tebe Bog, nema drugoga; ništavni su bogovi.'”
Thus saith Jehovah: The wealth of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall walk after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall bow down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, [saying, ] Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, no other God. ...
15 Doista ti si Bog skriveni, Bog Izraelov, Spasitelj.
Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. ...
16 Postidjet će se i poniknut će svi zajedno, otići će u ruglu oni koji prave kipove.
They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them; they shall go away in confusion together, the makers of idols.
17 A Jahve će vječnim spasenjem spasit' Izraela. Nećete se postidjeti i nećete poniknuti dovijeka.
Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded, unto the ages of ages.
18 Da, ovako govori Jahve, nebesa Stvoritelj - on je Bog - koji je oblikovao i sazdao zemlju, koji ju je učvrstio i nije je stvorio pustu, već ju je uobličio za obitavanje: “Ja sam Jahve i nema drugoga.
For thus saith Jehovah who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, he who established it, — not as waste did he create it: he formed it to be inhabited: — I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else.
19 Nisam govorio u tajnosti, u zakutku mračne zemlje. Nisam rekao potomstvu Jakovljevu: 'Tražite me u pustoši.' Ja, Jahve, govorim pravo i naviještam čestito.”
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek me in vain: I [am] Jehovah, speaking righteousness, declaring things which are right.
20 “Saberite se i dođite, pristupite zajedno, svi preživjeli od naroda! Neznalice puke oni su što nose kip izrađen od drveta i mole boga koji ih spasit' ne može.
Gather yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations. They have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Objavite, iznesite svoje dokaze, svjetujte se zajedno: tko je to od davnine navijestio i od tada prorekao? Nisam li ja, Jahve? Nema drugoga boga do mene; Boga pravednog i Spasitelja osim mene nema.
Declare and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath caused this to be heard from ancient time? [who] hath declared it long ago? Is it not I, Jehovah? And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour, there is none besides me.
22 Obratite se k meni da se spasite, svi krajevi zemlje, jer ja sam Bog i nema drugoga!
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and there is none else.
23 Sobom se samim kunem, iz mojih usta izlazi istina, riječ neopoziva, da će se preda mnom prignuti svako koljeno, mnome će se svaki jezik zaklinjati
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 govoreći: 'Jedino je u Jahvi pobjeda i snaga!'” K njemu će doći, postiđeni, svi što na nj su bjesnjeli.
Only in Jehovah, shall one say, have I righteousness and strength. To him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 U Jahvi će pobijediti i proslavit se sve potomstvo Izraelovo!
In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
