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 the LORD to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and to loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and that the gates may 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 crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder 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 am the LORD, who call thee by thy name, even 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 the sake of Jacob My servant, and Israel Mine elect, I have called thee by thy name, I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known 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 else, beside Me there is no God; I have girded thee, though 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 west, that there is none beside Me; I am the LORD; and there is none else;
7 ja tvorim svjetlost i stvaram tamu. Ja stvaram sreću i dovodim nesreću, ja, Jahve, činim sve to.
I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am the LORD, that doeth 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, that they may bring forth salvation, and let her cause righteousness to spring up together; I the LORD 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, as a potsherd with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it: 'What makest thou?' Or: 'Thy work, it 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: 'Wherefore begettest thou?' Or to a woman: 'Wherefore travailest thou?'
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: Ask Me of the things that are 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.
I, even I, have made the earth, and created man upon it; I, even My hands, 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.
I have roused him up in victory, and I make level all his ways; he shall build My city, and he shall let Mine exiles go free, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD 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 the LORD: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine; they shall go after thee, in chains they shall come over; and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee: Surely God is in thee, and there is none else, there is 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, yea, confounded, all of them; they shall go in confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 A Jahve će vječnim spasenjem spasit' Izraela. Nećete se postidjeti i nećete poniknuti dovijeka.
O Israel, that art saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
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 the heavens, He is God; that formed the earth and made it, He established it, He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, 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 place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob: 'Seek ye Me in vain'; I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that 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.
Assemble 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 ye, and bring them near, yea, let them take counsel together: Who hath announced this from ancient time, and declared it of old? Have not I the LORD? And there is no God else beside Me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside 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
By Myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from My mouth in righteousness, and shall not come back, 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 the LORD, shall one say of Me, is victory and strength; even to Him shall men come in confusion, all they that were incensed against Him.
25 U Jahvi će pobijediti i proslavit se sve potomstvo Izraelovo!
In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
