Isaiah 45
1 This is what the LORD says to Cyrus His anointed, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, to open the doors before him, so that the gates will not be shut:
Ovako govori Gospod pomazaniku svojemu Kiru, kojega držim za desnicu, da oborim pred njim narode i careve raspašem, da se otvoraju vrata pred njim i da ne budu vrata zatvorena:
2 “I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
Ja æu iæi pred tobom, i putove neravne poravniæu, vrata mjedena razbiæu i prijevornice gvozdene slomiæu.
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.
I daæu ti blago tajno i bogatstvo sakriveno, da poznaš da sam ja Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji te zovem po imenu.
4 For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.
Radi sluge svojega Jakova i Izrailja izbranika svojega prozvah te imenom tvojim i prezimenom, premda me ne znaš.
5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,
Ja sam Gospod, i nema drugoga, osim mene nema boga; opasah te, premda me ne znaš,
6 so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.
Da bi poznali od istoka sunèanoga i od zapada da nema drugoga osim mene; ja sam Gospod i nema drugoga,
7 I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.
Koji pravim svjetlost i stvaram mrak, gradim mir i stvaram zlo; ja Gospod èinim sve to.
8 Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.
Rosite, nebesa, ozgo, i oblaci neka kaplju pravdom, neka se otvori zemlja i neka rodi spasenjem i zajedno neka uzraste pravda; ja Gospod stvorih to.
9 Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker— one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?
Teško onom ko se svaða s tvorcem svojim; crijep s drugim crepovima neka se svaða; ali hoæe li kao reæi lonèaru svojemu: šta radiš? za tvoj posao nema ruku.
10 Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to his mother, ‘What have you brought forth?’”
Teško onom ko govori ocu: što raðaš? i ženi: što se poraðaš?
11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “How dare you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?
Ovako veli Gospod svetac Izrailjev i tvorac njegov: pitajte me što æe biti; za sinove moje i za djelo ruku mojih nareðujte mi.
12 It is I who made the earth and created man upon it. It was My hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordained all their host.
Ja sam naèinio zemlju i èovjeka na njoj stvorio, ja sam razapeo nebesa svojim rukama, i svoj vojsci njihovoj dao zapovijest.
13 I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild My city and set My exiles free, but not for payment or reward, says the LORD of Hosts.”
Ja ga podigoh u pravdi, i sve putove njegove poravniæu; on æe sazidati moj grad i roblje moje otpustiæe, ne za novce ni za darove, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
14 This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”
Ovako veli Gospod: trud Misirski i trgovina Etiopska i Savaca ljudi visoka rasta doæi æe k tebi i biti tvoja; za tobom æe pristati, u okovima æe iæi, i tebi æe se klanjati, tebi æe se moliti govoreæi: doista, Bog je u tebi, i nema drugoga Boga.
15 Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
Da, ti si Bog, koji se kriješ, Bog Izrailjev, spasitelj.
16 They will all be put to shame and humiliated; the makers of idols will depart together in disgrace.
Oni æe se svi postidjeti i posramiti, otiæi æe sa sramotom svikoliki koji grade likove.
17 But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.
A Izrailja æe spasti Gospod spasenjem vjeènijem, neæete se postidjeti niti æete se osramotiti dovijeka.
18 For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens—He is God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.
Jer ovako veli Gospod, koji je stvorio nebo, Bog, koji je sazdao zemlju i naèinio je i utvrdio, i nije je stvorio naprazno, nego je naèinio da se na njoj nastava: ja sam Gospod, i nema drugoga.
19 I have not spoken in secret, from a place in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a wasteland.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I say what is right.
Nijesam govorio tajno ni na mraènu mjestu na zemlji, nijesam rekao sjemenu Jakovljevu: tražite me uzalud. Ja Gospod govorim pravdu, javljam što je pravo.
20 Come, gather together, and draw near, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry idols of wood and pray to a god that cannot save.
Skupite se i doðite, pristupite svi koji ste se izbavili izmeðu naroda. Ništa ne znaju koji nose drvo od svojega lika i mole se bogu koji ne može pomoæi.
21 Speak up and present your case— yes, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but Me, a righteous God and Savior; there is none but Me.
Oglasite, i dovedite, neka vijeæaju zajedno: ko je to od starine kazao? ko je javio još onda? Nijesam li ja, Gospod? Nema osim mene drugoga Boga, nema Boga pravednoga i spasitelja drugoga osim mene.
22 Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
Pogledajte u mene, i spašæete se svi krajevi zemaljski; jer sam ja Bog, i nema drugoga.
23 By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.
Sobom se zakleh; izide iz usta mojih rijeè pravedna, i neæe se poreæi, da æe mi se pokloniti svako koljeno, i zaklinjati se svaki jezik,
24 Surely they will say of Me, ‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’” All who rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.
I govoriæe: u Gospodu je pravda i sila; k njemu æe doæi; ali æe se posramiti svi koji se gnjeve na nj.
25 In the LORD all descendants of Israel will be justified and will exult.
U Gospodu æe se opravdati i proslaviti sve sjeme Izrailjevo.
