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 that cometh from Edom, with deep-red garments from Bozrah, this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? — I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2 - Zašto je crvena tvoja haljina i odijelo kao u onog koji gazi u kaci?
— Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?
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 not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel.
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 had 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: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6 U gnjevu svom satrijeh narode, u bijesu sve ih izgazih i zemlju polih krvlju njihovom!
And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to 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 record the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he hath bestowed upon 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.
And he said, They are indeed my people, children that will not lie; and he became their Saviour.
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 Angel 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: and he turned to be their enemy; himself, he 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?
But he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him,
12 Koji je Mojsijevu desnicu vodio veličanstveno svojom mišicom, koji vodu pred njima razdvoji i steče sebi ime vječno;
his glorious arm leading them by the right hand of Moses, dividing 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, like a horse in the wilderness, [and] 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 cattle go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah gave them rest; so didst thou lead 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 the heavens, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory! Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy tender mercies? Are they 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 art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Jehovah, art 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!
Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened 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 have 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 [like those] over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.
