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 sayeth the Lord vnto Cyrus his anointed, whose right hand I haue holden to subdue nations before him: therefore will I weaken the loynes of Kings and open the doores before him, 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 goe before thee and make the crooked streight: I will breake the brasen doores, and burst the yron barres.
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 giue thee the treasures of darkenesse, and the things hid in secret places, that thou maist know that I am the Lord which call thee by thy name, euen 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 Iaakob my seruants sake, and Israel mine elect, I will euen call thee by thy name and name thee, though thou hast not knowen me.
5 Ja sam Jahve i nema drugoga; osim mene Boga nema. Iako me ne poznaš, naoružah te:
I am the Lord and there is none other: there is no God besides me: I girded thee though thou hast not knowen me,
6 nek' se znade od istoka do zapada da izvan mene sve je ništavilo.” Ja sam Jahve i nema drugoga;
That they may knowe from the rising of the sunne and from the West, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none other.
7 ja tvorim svjetlost i stvaram tamu. Ja stvaram sreću i dovodim nesreću, ja, Jahve, činim sve to.
I forme the light and create darkenes: I make peace and create euill: I the Lord doe 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.
Ye heauens, send the dewe from aboue, and let the cloudes droppe downe righteousnesse: let the earth open, and let saluation and iustice growe foorth: let it bring them foorth together: I the Lord haue created him.
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 be vnto him that striueth with his maker, the potsherd with the potsherds of the earth: shall the clay say to him that facioneth it, What makest thou? or thy worke, It hath none hands?
10 Jao onom koji kaže ocu: “Što si rodio?” Ili ženi: “Što si na svijet dala?”
Woe vnto him that sayeth to his father, What hast thou begotten? or to his mother, What hast thou brought foorth?
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 the Lord, the holy one of Israel, and his maker, Aske me of things to come concerning my sonnes, and concerning the workes of mine hands: commande you me.
12 Ja sam načinio zemlju i čovjeka na njoj stvorio; svojim sam rukama razapeo nebesa i zapovijedam svim vojskama njihovim.
I haue made the earth, and created man vpon it: I, whose hands haue spred out the heauens, I haue euen commanded all their armie.
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.
I haue raised him vp in righteousnesse, and I will direct all his wayes: he shall build my citie, and he shall let goe my captiues, not for price nor rewarde, saith the Lord of hostes.
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 sayth the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and the marchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature shall come vnto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall follow thee, and shall goe in chaines: they shall fall downe before thee, and make supplication vnto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee, and there is none other God besides.
15 Doista ti si Bog skriveni, Bog Izraelov, Spasitelj.
Verely thou, O God, hidest thy selfe, O God, the Sauiour of Israel.
16 Postidjet će se i poniknut će svi zajedno, otići će u ruglu oni koji prave kipove.
All they shalbe ashamed and also confounded: they shall goe to confusion together, that are the makers of images.
17 A Jahve će vječnim spasenjem spasit' Izraela. Nećete se postidjeti i nećete poniknuti dovijeka.
But Israel shall be saued in the Lord, with an euerlasting saluation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded worlde without ende.
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 the Lord (that created heauen, God himselfe, that formed the earth, and made it: he that prepared it, he created it not in vaine: he formed it to be inhabited) I am the Lord, and there is none other.
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 haue not spoken in secrete, neither in a place of darkenes in the earth: I saide not in vaine vnto the seede of Iaakob, Seeke you me: I the Lord doe speake righteousnesse, and declare righteous things.
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.
Assemble your selues, and come: drawe neere together, ye abiect of the Gentiles: they haue no knowledge, that set vp the wood of their idole, and pray vnto a god, that cannot saue them.
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.
Tell ye and bring them, and let them take counsell together, who hath declared this from the beginning? or hath tolde it of olde? Haue not I the Lord? and there is none other God beside me, a iust God, and a Sauiour: there is none beside me.
22 Obratite se k meni da se spasite, svi krajevi zemlje, jer ja sam Bog i nema drugoga!
Looke vnto me, and ye shall be saued: all the endes of the earth shall be saued: for I am God, and there is none other.
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 haue sworne by my selfe: the worde is gone out of my mouth in righteousnesse, and shall not returne, That euery knee shall bowe vnto me, and euery tongue shall sweare by me.
24 govoreći: 'Jedino je u Jahvi pobjeda i snaga!'” K njemu će doći, postiđeni, svi što na nj su bjesnjeli.
Surely he shall say, In the Lord haue I righteousnesse and strength: he shall come vnto him, and all that prouoke him, shall be ashamed.
25 U Jahvi će pobijediti i proslavit se sve potomstvo Izraelovo!
The whole seede of Israel shall be iustified, and glorie in the Lord.
