Izaija 63
1 Tko je taj što dolazi iz Edoma, iz Bosre, u haljinama crvenim? Tko je taj što veličanstveno odjenut pun snage korača? - Ja sam to koji naučavam pravdu, velik kad spasavam!
Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this who is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2 - Zašto je crvena tvoja haljina i odijelo kao u onog koji gazi u kaci?
Why are thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
3 - U kaci sam sam gazio, od narodÄa nikog ne bijaše. U gnjevu ih svom izgazih i zgnječih u svojoj jarosti. Krv mi njihova poprska haljine, iskaljah svu odjeću svoju.
I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples there was no man with me. Yea, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath, and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.
4 Jer dan osvete bijaše mi u srcu, došla je godina mojeg otkupljenja.
For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
5 Ogledah se, al' ne bješe pomoćnika! Začudih se, al' ne bješe potpore. Tada mi je moja mišica pomogla i moja me srdžba poduprla.
And I looked, and there was none to help. And I wondered that there was none to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. And my wrath, it upheld me.
6 U gnjevu svom satrijeh narode, u bijesu sve ih izgazih i zemlju polih krvlju njihovom!
And I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.
7 Slavit ću ljubav Jahvinu, slavna djela njegova - za sve što nam Jahve učini, za veliku dobrotu domu Izraelovu što nam je iskaza u svojoj samilosti, u obilju svoje ljubavi.
I will make mention of the loving kindnesses of Jehovah, and the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
8 Reče: “Dosta, oni su narod moj, sinovi koji se neće iznevjeriti!” I on im posta Spasiteljem u svim njihovim tjeskobama.
For he said, Surely, they are my people, sons that will not deal falsely. So he was their Savior.
9 Nije slao poslanika ni anđela nego ih je sam spasio. U svojoj ljubavi i samilosti sam ih je otkupio, podigao ih i nosio u sve dane od davnine.
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the agent of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. And he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
10 Ali se oni odmetnuše, ožalostiše sveti Duh njegov. Zato im je postao neprijatelj i sam je na njih zavojštio.
But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit. Therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.
11 Spomenuše se tad davnih dana i sluge njegova Mojsija: “Gdje li je onaj koji izvuče iz vode pastira stada svojega? Gdje je onaj koji udahnu u njega Duh svoj sveti?
Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them,
12 Koji je Mojsijevu desnicu vodio veličanstveno svojom mišicom, koji vodu pred njima razdvoji i steče sebi ime vječno;
who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,
13 koji ih provede dnom bezdana kao konja po pustinji i nisu se spoticali?
who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not?
14 Poput stoke što silazi u dolinu, Duh Jahvin vodio ih počivalištu. Tako si ti vodio narod svoj i slavno ime sebi stekao.
As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused them to rest. So thou led thy people to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Pogledaj s nebesa i vidi iz prebivališta svoga svetog i slavnog. Gdje li je ljubomora tvoja i snaga? Zar se susteglo ganuće tvog srca i samilost tvoja prema meni? Ah, sućuti nam svoje ne ustegni,
Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory. Where are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? The yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me.
16 jer Otac si naš! Abraham nas ne poznaje i ne spominje nas se Izrael; Jahve, ti si naš Otac, Otkupitelj naš - ime ti je oduvijek.
For thou are our Father, though Abraham knows us not, and Israel does not acknowledge us, thou, O Jehovah, are our Father, our Redeemer, from everlasting is thy name.
17 Zašto, o Jahve, zašto nas puštaš da lutamo daleko od tvojih putova, zašto si dao da nam srce otvrdne da se tebe više ne bojimo? Vrati se, radi slugu svojih i radi plemenÄa što su tvoja baština!
O Jehovah, why do thou make us to err from thy ways, and harden our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
18 Zašto bezbožnici gaze tvoje Svetište, a neprijatelji naši blate tvoju svetinju?
Thy holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 Odavna postadosmo kao oni kojima više ne vladaš i koji tvoje ime više ne nose.
We have become as those over whom thou never bore rule, as those who were not called by thy name.
