Isaiah 48
1 “Listen to this, O house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, who have descended from the line of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, who invoke the God of Israel— but not in truth or righteousness—
Èujte ovo, dome Jakovljev, koji se zovete imenom Izrailjevijem, i iz vode Judine izidoste, koji se kunete imenom Gospodnjim, i Boga Izrailjeva pominjete, ali ne po istini i po pravdi.
2 who indeed call yourselves after the holy city and lean on the God of Israel; the LORD of Hosts is His name.
Jer se imenuju po svetom gradu, oslanjaju se na Boga Izrailjeva, kojemu je ime Gospod nad vojskama.
3 I foretold the former things long ago; they came out of My mouth and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.
Što je preðe bivalo, kazivah naprijed odavna, i što iz mojih usta izide i objavih, uèinih brzo i zbi se.
4 For I knew that you are stubborn; your neck is iron and your forehead is bronze.
Znao sam da si uporan, i vrat da ti je gvozdena žila, i èelo da ti je od mjedi.
5 Therefore I declared it to you long ago; I announced it before it came to pass, so that you could not claim, ‘My idol has done this; my carved image and molten god has ordained it.’
I zato ti odavna objavih, prije nego se zbi kazah ti, da ne bi rekao: idol moj uèini to, i lik moj rezani i lik moj liveni zapovjediše tako.
6 You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you.
Èuo si; pogledaj sve to; a vi neæete li objavljivati? otsele ti javljam novo i sakriveno, što nijesi znao;
7 They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!’
Sada se stvori, i nedavno, i prije ovoga dana nijesi èuo, da ne reèeš: gle, znao sam.
8 You have never heard; you have never understood; for a long time your ears have not been open. For I knew how deceitful you are; you have been called a rebel from birth.
Niti si èuo ni znao, i prije ti se uši ne otvoriše, jer znadijah da æeš èiniti nevjeru, i da se zoveš prestupnik od utrobe materine.
9 For the sake of My name I will delay My wrath; for the sake of My praise I will restrain it, so that you will not be cut off.
Imena svojega radi ustegnuæu gnjev svoj, i radi hvale svoje uzdržaæu se prema tebi, da te ne istrijebim.
10 See, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
Evo, pretopiæu te, ali ne kao srebro, prebraæu te u peæi nevolje.
11 For My own sake, My very own sake, I will act; for how can I let Myself be defamed? I will not yield My glory to another.
Sebe radi, sebe radi uèiniæu, jer kako bi se hulilo na ime moje? i slave svoje neæu dati drugome.
12 Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I have called: I am He; I am the first, and I am the last.
Èuj me, Jakove i Izrailju, kojega ja pozvah: ja sam prvi, ja sam i pošljednji.
13 Surely My own hand founded the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they stand up together.
I moja je ruka osnovala zemlju, i moja je desnica izmjerila nebesa peðu; kad ih zovnem, svi doðu.
14 Come together, all of you, and listen: Which of the idols has foretold these things? The LORD’s chosen ally will carry out His desire against Babylon, and His arm will be against the Chaldeans.
Skupite se svi i èujte: ko je od njih objavio ovo? Gospod ga miluje, on æe izvršiti volju njegovu na Vavilonu, i mišica æe njegova biti nasuprot Haldejcima.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him. I have brought him, and he will succeed in his mission.
Ja, ja rekoh, i pozvah ga, dovešæu ga, i biæe sreæan na svom putu.
16 Come near to Me and listen to this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time it happened, I was there.” And now the Lord GOD has sent me, accompanied by His Spirit.
Pristupite k meni, èujte ovo: od poèetka nijesam govorio tajno; otkako to bi, bijah ondje; a sada Gospod Gospod posla me i duh njegov.
17 Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who directs you in the way you should go.
Ovako veli Gospod, izbavitelj tvoj, svetac Izrailjev: ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj koji te uèim da bi napredovao, vodim te putem kojim treba da ideš.
18 If only you had paid attention to My commandments, your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like waves of the sea.
O, da si pazio na zapovjesti moje! mir bi tvoj bio kao rijeka, i pravda tvoja kao valovi morski;
19 Your descendants would have been as countless as the sand, and your offspring as numerous as its grains; their name would never be cut off or eliminated from My presence.”
I sjemena bi tvojega bilo kao pijeska, i poroda utrobe tvoje kao zrna njegovijeh; ime se njihovo ne bi zatrlo ni istrijebilo ispred mene.
20 Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Declare it with a shout of joy, proclaim it, let it go out to the ends of the earth, saying, “The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob!”
Izidite iz Vavilona, bježite od Haldejaca; glasno pjevajuæi objavljujte, kazujte, razglašujte do krajeva zemaljskih; recite: izbavi Gospod slugu svojega Jakova.
21 They did not thirst when He led them through the deserts; He made water flow for them from the rock; He split the rock, and water gushed out.
Neæe ožednjeti kad ih povede preko pustinje; vodu iz stijene toèiæe im, jer æe rascijepiti kamen i poteæi æe voda.
22 “There is no peace,” says the LORD, “for the wicked.”
Nema mira bezbožnicima, veli Gospod.
