Isaiah 63
1 Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments? Who is this robed in splendor, marching in the greatness of His strength? “It is I, proclaiming vindication, mighty to save.”
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!
2 Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads the winepress?
- Zašto je crvena tvoja haljina i odijelo kao u onog koji gazi u kaci?
3 “I have trodden the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained.
- 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.
4 For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redemption had come.
Jer dan osvete bijaše mi u srcu, došla je godina mojeg otkupljenja.
5 I looked, but there was no one to help; I was appalled that no one assisted. So My arm brought Me salvation, and My own wrath upheld Me.
Ogledah se, al' ne bješe pomoćnika! Začudih se, al' ne bješe potpore. Tada mi je moja mišica pomogla i moja me srdžba poduprla.
6 I trampled the nations in My anger; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground.”
U gnjevu svom satrijeh narode, u bijesu sve ih izgazih i zemlju polih krvlju njihovom!
7 I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us— the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.
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.
8 For He said, “They are surely My people, sons who will not be disloyal.” So He became their Savior.
Reče: “Dosta, oni su narod moj, sinovi koji se neće iznevjeriti!” I on im posta Spasiteljem u svim njihovim tjeskobama.
9 In all their distress, He too was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and compassion He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
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.
10 But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He turned and became their enemy, and He Himself fought against them.
Ali se oni odmetnuše, ožalostiše sveti Duh njegov. Zato im je postao neprijatelj i sam je na njih zavojštio.
11 Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses. Where is He who brought them through the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is the One who set His Holy Spirit among them,
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?
12 who sent His glorious arm to lead them by the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to gain for Himself everlasting renown,
Koji je Mojsijevu desnicu vodio veličanstveno svojom mišicom, koji vodu pred njima razdvoji i steče sebi ime vječno;
13 who led them through the depths like a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?
koji ih provede dnom bezdana kao konja po pustinji i nisu se spoticali?
14 Like cattle going down to the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. You led Your people this way to make for Yourself a glorious name.
Poput stoke što silazi u dolinu, Duh Jahvin vodio ih počivalištu. Tako si ti vodio narod svoj i slavno ime sebi stekao.
15 Look down from heaven and see, from Your holy and glorious habitation. Where are Your zeal and might? Your yearning and compassion for me are restrained.
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,
16 Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
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.
17 Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.
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!
18 For a short while Your people possessed Your holy place, but our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.
Zašto bezbožnici gaze tvoje Svetište, a neprijatelji naši blate tvoju svetinju?
19 We have become like those You never ruled, like those not called by Your name.
Odavna postadosmo kao oni kojima više ne vladaš i koji tvoje ime više ne nose.
