Isaiah 43
1 Now this is what the LORD says— He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine!
Ali sada ovako veli Gospod, koji te je stvorio, Jakove, i koji te je sazdao, Izrailju: ne boj se, jer te otkupih, pozvah te po imenu tvom; moj si.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Kad poðeš preko vode, ja æu biti s tobom, ili preko rijeka, neæe te potopiti; kad poðeš kroz oganj, neæeš izgorjeti i neæe te plamen opaliti.
3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.
Jer sam ja Gospod, Bog tvoj, svetac Izrailjev, spasitelj tvoj; dadoh u otkup za te Misir, Etiopsku i Sevu mjesto tebe.
4 Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.
Otkako si mi postao drag, proslavio si se i ja te ljubih; i dadoh ljude za te i narode za dušu tvoju.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.
Ne boj se, jer sam ja s tobom; od istoka æu dovesti sjeme tvoje, i od zapada sabraæu te.
6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth—
Kazaæu sjeveru: daj; i jugu: ne brani; dovedi sinove moje iz daleka i kæeri moje s krajeva zemaljskih,
7 everyone called by My name and created for My glory, whom I have indeed formed and made.”
Sve, koji se zovu mojim imenom i koje stvorih na slavu sebi, sazdah i naèinih.
8 Bring out a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf.
Izvedi narod slijepi koji ima oèi, i gluhi koji ima uši.
9 All the nations gather together and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and proclaim to us the former things? Let them present their witnesses to vindicate them, so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
Svi narodi neka se skupe, i neka se saberu plemena; ko je izmeðu njih naprijed kazao to ili nam kazao što je bilo prije? Neka dovedu svjedoke svoje i opravdaju se; ili neka èuju, i reku: istina je.
10 “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may consider and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.
Vi ste moji svjedoci, veli Gospod, i sluga moj kojega izabrah, da biste znali i vjerovali mi i razumjeli da sam ja; prije mene nije bilo Boga niti æe poslije mene biti.
11 I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no Savior but Me.
Ja sam, ja sam Gospod, i osim mene nema spasitelja.
12 I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.
Ja objavih, i spasoh, i naprijed kazah, a nikoji tuð bog meðu vama, i vi ste mi svjedoci, veli Gospod, i ja sam Bog.
13 Even from eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”
Ja sam od prije nego dan posta, i niko ne može izbaviti iz moje ruke; kad radim, ko æe smesti?
14 Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake, I will send to Babylon and bring them all as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.
Ovako govori Gospod izbavitelj vaš, svetac Izrailjev: vas radi poslaæu u Vavilon i pobacaæu sve prijevornice, i Haldejce s laðama, kojima se hvale.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.”
Ja sam Gospod svetac vaš, stvoritelj Izrailjev, car vaš.
16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the surging waters,
Ovako govori Gospod koji je naèinio po moru put i po silnijem vodama stazu,
17 who brings out the chariots and horses, the armies and warriors together, to lie down, never to rise again; to be extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
Koji izvodi kola i konje, vojsku i silu, da svi popadaju i ne mogu ustati, da se ugase kao što se gasi svještilo:
18 “Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.
Ne pominjite što je prije bilo i ne mislite o starijem stvarima.
19 Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
Evo, ja æu uèiniti novo, odmah æe nastati; neæete li ga poznati? Još æu naèiniti u pustinji put, rijeke u suhoj zemlji.
20 The beasts of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.
Slaviæe me zvijeri poljske, zmajevi i sove, što sam izveo u pustinji vode, rijeke u zemlji suhoj, da napojim narod svoj, izbranika svojega.
21 The people I formed for Myself will declare My praise.
Narod koji sazdah sebi, pripovjedaæe hvalu moju.
22 But you have not called on Me, O Jacob, because you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.
A ti, Jakove, ne priziva me, i bijah ti dosadan, Izrailju.
23 You have not brought Me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
Nijesi mi prinio jagnjeta na žrtvu paljenicu, i žrtvama svojim nijesi me poèastio; nijesam te nagonio da mi služiš prinosima, niti sam te trudio da mi kadiš.
24 You have not bought Me sweet cane with your silver, nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.
Nijesi mi kupio za novce kada, niti si me pretilinom žrtava svojih nasitio, nego si me muèio svojim grijesima, i dosadio si mi bezakonjem svojim.
25 I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.
Ja, ja sam brišem tvoje prijestupe sebe radi, i grijeha tvojih ne pominjem.
26 Remind Me, let us argue the matter together. State your case, so that you may be vindicated.
Opomeni me, da se sudimo, kazuj, da se opravdaš.
27 Your first father sinned, and your spokesmen rebelled against Me.
Otac tvoj prvi sagriješi, i uèitelji tvoji skriviše mi.
28 So I will disgrace the princes of your sanctuary, and I will devote Jacob to destruction and Israel to reproach.”
Zato æu izbaciti iz svetinje knezove, i daæu Jakova u prokletstvo i Izrailja u sramotu.
