Izaija 50
1 Ovako govori Jahve: “Gdje je otpusno pismo vaše matere kojim sam je otpustio? Ili tko je od mojih vjerovnika taj komu sam vas prodao? Zbog bezakonja ste svojih prodani, zbog nevjere je mati vaša otpuštena.
Yahweh says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? Or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother was put away for your transgressions.
2 Zašto ne nađoh nikoga kad sam došao? Zašto se ne odazva nitko kad sam zazvao? Zar mi je ruka prekratka da izbavi, ili u meni snage nema da oslobodim? Gle, prijetnjom svojom isušujem more, u pustinje rijeke pretvaram; njihove se ribe raspadaju jer vode nema i od žeđi ugibaju.
Why, when I came, was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die of thirst.
3 Nebesa oblačim u tminu i kostrijet im dajem za pokrivač!”
I clothe the heavens with blackness. I make sackcloth their covering.”
4 Gospod Jahve dade mi jezik vješt da znam riječju krijepiti umorne. Svako jutro on mi uho budi da ga slušam kao učenici.
The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
5 Gospod Jahve uši mi otvori: ne protivih se niti uzmicah.
The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear. I was not rebellious. I have not turned back.
6 Leđa podmetnuh onima što me udarahu, a obraze onima što mi bradu čupahu, i lica svojeg ne zaklonih od uvreda ni od pljuvanja.
I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.
7 Gospod mi Jahve pomaže, zato se neću smesti. Zato učinih svoj obraz k'o kremen i znam da se neću postidjeti.
For the Lord Yahweh will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I won’t be disappointed.
8 Blizu je onaj koji mi pravo daje. Tko će se pravdati sa mnom? Iziđimo zajedno! Tko je protivnik moj u parnici? Nek' mi se približi!
He who justifies me is near. Who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
9 Gle, Gospod mi Jahve pomaže, tko će me osuditi? Svi će se oni k'o haljina izlizati, moljac će ih razjesti.
Behold, the Lord Yahweh will help me! Who is he who will condemn me? Behold, they will all grow old like a garment. The moths will eat them up.
10 “Tko god se od vas Jahve boji, nek' posluša glas Sluge njegova! Tko u tmini hodi, bez tračka svjetlosti, nek' se uzda u ime Jahvino, nek' se na Boga svog osloni.
Who among you fears Yahweh and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh’s name, and rely on his God.
11 Ali svi vi oganj palite, raspirujete žeravicu. Idite u plamenove ognja svojega i u žeravu koju raspiriste. Tako će vam moja učiniti ruka: ležat ćete u mukama.
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with torches around yourselves, walk in the flame of your fire, and among the torches that you have kindled. You will have this from my hand: you will lie down in sorrow.
