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 said YHWH, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Indeed, I loose loins of kings, To open double doors before him, Indeed, gates are not shut:
2 Ja ću hoditi pred tobom da poravnam uzvisine, da razbijem mjedene vratnice, da slomim željezne prijevornice.
“I go before you, and make crooked places straight, I shatter doors of bronze, And I cut bars of iron apart,
3 Dajem ti tajna blaga i skrivena bogatstva, da bi spoznao da sam ja Jahve koji te zovem po imenu, Bog Izraelov.
And have given to you treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that you know that I, YHWH, Who am calling on your 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 the sake of My servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I also call you by your name, I surname you, And you have not known Me.
5 Ja sam Jahve i nema drugoga; osim mene Boga nema. Iako me ne poznaš, naoružah te:
I [am] YHWH, and there is none else, There is no God except Me, I gird you, and you have not known Me.
6 nek' se znade od istoka do zapada da izvan mene sve je ništavilo.” Ja sam Jahve i nema drugoga;
So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] YHWH, and there is none else,
7 ja tvorim svjetlost i stvaram tamu. Ja stvaram sreću i dovodim nesreću, ja, Jahve, činim sve to.
Forming light, and creating darkness, Making peace, and creating calamity, I [am] YHWH, doing 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, you heavens, from above, And clouds cause righteousness to flow, Earth opens, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, YHWH, 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 [to] him who is striving with his Former (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And your work, He has no hands?
10 Jao onom koji kaže ocu: “Što si rodio?” Ili ženi: “Što si na svijet dala?”
Woe [to] him who is saying to a father, What do you beget? Or to a wife, What do you bring 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 said YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: “Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Indeed, concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.
12 Ja sam načinio zemlju i čovjeka na njoj stvorio; svojim sam rukama razapeo nebesa i zapovijedam svim vojskama njihovim.
I made earth, and created man on it, My hands stretched out the heavens, And I have commanded all their host.
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 stirred him up in righteousness, And I make all his ways straight, He builds My city, and sends out My captivity, Not for price, nor for bribe,” said YHWH 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 said YHWH: “The labor of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Pass over to you, and they are yours, They go after you, they pass over in chains, And they bow themselves to you, They pray to you: Surely God [is] in you, And there is none else, no [other] God.”
15 Doista ti si Bog skriveni, Bog Izraelov, Spasitelj.
Surely You [are] a God hiding Yourself, God of Israel—Savior!
16 Postidjet će se i poniknut će svi zajedno, otići će u ruglu oni koji prave kipove.
They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed—all of them, Those carving images have gone together in confusion.
17 A Jahve će vječnim spasenjem spasit' Izraela. Nećete se postidjeti i nećete poniknuti dovijeka.
Israel has been saved in YHWH, A perpetual salvation! You are not ashamed nor confounded For all ages of eternity!
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 said YHWH, Creator of the heavens, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it—He did not create it empty, For He formed it to be inhabited: “I [am] YHWH, 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 have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me in vain, I [am] YHWH, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
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.
Be gathered, and come in, Come near together, you escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, And praying to a god [that] does not 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 near, Indeed, they take counsel together, Who has proclaimed this from of old? [Who] has declared it from that time? Is it not I—YHWH? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none except Me.
22 Obratite se k meni da se spasite, svi krajevi zemlje, jer ja sam Bog i nema drugoga!
Turn to Me, and be 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, A word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness, And it does not return, That to Me, every knee bows, every tongue swears.
24 govoreći: 'Jedino je u Jahvi pobjeda i snaga!'” K njemu će doći, postiđeni, svi što na nj su bjesnjeli.
Only in YHWH, one has said, Do I have righteousness and strength, He comes to Him, And all those displeased with Him are ashamed.
25 U Jahvi će pobijediti i proslavit se sve potomstvo Izraelovo!
In YHWH are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.”
