Izaija 48
1 Čujte ovo, kućo Jakovljeva, vi koji se zovete imenom Izraelovim i koji ste izišli iz voda Judinih! Vi koji se Jahvinim imenom kunete i slavite Boga Izraelova, ali ne u istini i pravdi.
Hear this, house of Jacob, who are called by the name Israel, and have come from the sperm of Judah; you who swear by the name of Yahweh and invoke the God of Israel, but not sincerely nor in a righteous manner.
2 Jer vi se nazivate po Svetome gradu i oslanjate se na Boga Izraelova, Jahve nad Vojskama njemu je ime.
For they call themselves people of the holy city and trust in the God of Israel. Yahweh of hosts is his name.
3 Dogođaje prošle odavna sam navijestio, iz mojih su izišli usta i ja sam ih objavio, učinih brzo, i zbi se.
“I have declared the things from long ago; they came out from my mouth, and I made them known; then suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
4 Jer znao sam da si tvrdokoran, da ti je šija žila gvozdena i čelo da ti je mjedeno.
Because I knew that you were obstinate, your neck muscles tight as iron, and your forehead like bronze,
5 Zato sam ti već onda navijestio, javio ti prije nego što se zbilo, da ne bi rekao: “Moj kip učini to, rezani moj lik i ljeveni kip zapovjediše tako!”
therefore I declared these things to you beforehand; before they happened I informed you, so you could not say, 'My idol has done them,' or 'My carved figure and my cast metal figure has ordained these things.'
6 Čuo si i vidio sve to; zar ne priznaješ? A sada navijestit ću ti nešto novo, otajno, što još ne znaš;
You heard about these things; look at all this evidence; and you, will you not admit what I said is true? From now on, I am showing you new things, hidden things that you have not known.
7 ovog je trena stvoreno, a ne odavna, o tome dosad nisi ništa čuo, da ne bi rekao: “Znao sam.”
Now, and not from previously, they come into being, and before today you have not heard about them, so you will not be able to say, 'Yes, I knew about them.'
8 Nisi o tome čuo ni znao, niti se uho tvoje prije otvorilo, jer znadoh da ćeš se iznevjeriti i da te od utrobe majčine zovu otpadnikom.
You never heard; you did not know; these things were not unfolded to your ears beforehand. For I knew that you have been very deceitful, and that you have been a rebel from birth.
9 Radi imena svoga odgađah svoj gnjev, radi časti svoje susprezah se da te ne uništim.
For the sake of my name I will defer my anger, and for my honor I will hold back from destroying you.
10 Gle, pročistio sam te poput srebra, iskušao te u talioniku nevolje.
Look, I refined you, but not as silver; I have purified you in the furnace of affliction.
11 Sebe radi činih tako, sebe radi! TÓa zar da se ime moje obeščasti? Slave svoje drugome ne dam!
For my own sake, for my own sake I will act; for how can I allow my name to be profaned? I will not give my glory to anyone else.
12 Čuj me, Jakove, Izraele, koga sam pozvao: Ja jesam, ja sam prvi, ja sam i posljednji.
Listen to me, Jacob, and Israel, whom I called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Ruka moja zemlju utemelji, desnica mi razape nebesa. Pozovem ih samo, i odmah dolaze.
Yes, my hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand up together.
14 Saberite se svi i čujte: tko je od njih to prorekao? “Onaj koga Jahve ljubi ispunit će volju moju nad Babilonom i nad potomstvom kaldejskim.”
Assemble yourselves, all of you, and listen! Who among you has announced these things? Yahweh's ally will accomplish his purpose against Babylon. He will carry out Yahweh's will against the Chaldeans.
15 Ja rekoh i pozvah ga, vodih ga i pomogoh u naumu.
I, I have spoken, yes, I have summoned him, I have brought him, and he will succeed.
16 Pristupite k meni i počujte ovo: “Od početka nisam vam govorio tajno, i kad se zbivalo, bijah ondje.” - “A sada me Gospod Jahve šalje s duhom svojim.”
Come near to me, listen to this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; when it happens, I am there.” Now the Lord Yahweh has sent me, and his Spirit.
17 Ovako govori Jahve, otkupitelj tvoj, Svetac Izraelov: “Ja, Jahve, Bog tvoj, tvojem dobru te učim, vodim te putem kojim ti je ići.
This is what Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says, “I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you how to succeed, who leads you by the way that you should go.
18 O, da si pazio na zapovijedi moje, kao rijeka sreća bi tvoja bila, a pravda tvoja kao morski valovi!
If only you had obeyed my commandments! Then your peace and prosperity would have flowed like a river, and your salvation like the waves of the sea.
19 Potomstva bi tvojeg bilo kao pijeska, a poroda utrobe tvoje kao njegovih zrnaca! Nikad ti se ime ne bi zatrlo niti izbrisalo preda mnom!”
Your descendants would have been as numerous as the sand, and the children from your womb as numerous as the grains of sand; their name would not have been cut off nor blotted out from before me.
20 Izađite iz Babilona, bježite iz Kaldeje! Glasno kličući, kazujte, objavljujte, do nakraj zemlje razglasite! Govorite: “Jahve je otkupio slugu svoga Jakova!
Come out from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With the sound of a ringing cry announce it! Make this known, make it go out to the ends of the earth! Say, 'Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob.'
21 Nisu žeđali dok ih je kroz pustinju vodio; iz stijene je za njih vodu izbio, rascijepio je pećinu i potekla je voda.”
They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he made the water to flow out of the rock for them; he split open the rock, and the waters gushed out.
22 “Nema mira opakima,” kaže Jahve.
There is no peace for the wicked—says Yahweh.”
