Isaiah 48
1 Give ear to this, O family of Jacob, you who are named by the name of Israel, and have come out of the body of Judah; who take oaths by the name of the Lord, and make use of the name of the God of Israel, but not truly and not in good faith.
Poslušajte to, oh hiša Jakobova, ki ste imenovani z imenom Izrael in ste izšli iz Judovih vodá, ki prisegate pri Gospodovem imenu in omenjate Izraelovega Boga, vendar ne v resnici niti ne v pravičnosti.
2 For they say that they are of the holy town, and put their faith in the God of Israel: the Lord of armies is his name.
Kajti imenujejo se po svetem mestu in se naslanjajo na Izraelovega Boga; Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
3 I gave word in the past of the things which came about; they came from my mouth, and I made them clear: suddenly I did them, and they came about.
Razglasil sem prejšnje stvari od začetka in izšle so iz mojih ust in pokazal sem jih; nenadoma sem jih naredil in zgodile so se.
4 Because I saw that your heart was hard, and that your neck was an iron cord, and your brow brass;
Ker sem vedel, da si trdovratna in je tvoj vrat železna kita in tvoja obrv bron,
5 For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.
sem ti to celo od začetka razglasil; preden se je zgodilo, sem ti to pokazal, da ne bi rekla: ›Moj malik jih je naredil, moja rezana podoba in moja ulita podoba jim je zapovedala.‹
6 All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.
Slišal si, videl si vse to in ali ne boš tega razglasil? Od tega časa sem ti pokazal nove stvari, celo skrite stvari in ti jih nisi poznal.
7 They have only now been effected, and not in the past: and before this day they had not come to your ears; for fear that you might say, I had knowledge of them.
Sedaj so ustvarjene in ne od začetka; celo pred dnevom, ko jih nisi slišal, da ne bi rekel: »Glej, poznal sem jih.«
8 Truly you had no word of them, no knowledge of them; no news of them in the past had come to your ears; because I saw how false was your behaviour, and that your heart was turned against me from your earliest days.
Da, ne slišiš; da, ne poznaš; da, od tistega časa, ko tvoje uho ni bilo odprto, kajti vedel sem, da boš postopal zelo zahrbtno in si bil od maternice imenovan prestopnik.
9 Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off.
Zaradi svojega imena bom odložil svojo jezo in zaradi svoje hvale se bom zadržal, da te ne odsekam.
10 See, I have been testing you for myself like silver; I have put you through the fire of trouble.
Glej, prečistil sem te, toda ne s srebrom; izbral sem te v talilni peči stiske.
11 For myself, even because of my name, I will do it; for I will not let my name be shamed; and my glory I will not give to another.
Zaradi sebe, celó zaradi sebe, bom to storil, kajti kako bi bilo moje ime umazano? In svoje slave ne bom dal drugemu.
12 Give ear to me, Jacob, and Israel, my loved one; I am he, I am the first and I am the last.
Prisluhni mi, oh Jakob in Izrael, moj poklicani; jaz sem; jaz sem prvi, jaz sem tudi zadnji.
13 Yes, by my hand was the earth placed on its base, and by my right hand the heavens were stretched out; at my word they take up their places.
Moja roka je tudi položila temelj zemlji in moja desnica je razpela nebo. Ko kličem k njima, skupaj vstaneta.
14 Come together, all of you, and give ear; who among you has given news of these things? the Lord's loved one will do his pleasure with Babylon, and with the seed of the Chaldaeans.
Vsi vi, zberite se in poslušajte; kdo izmed njih je razglasil te stvari? Gospod ga je ljubil. Storil bo, kar mu ugaja nad Babilonom in njegov laket bo na Kaldejcih.
15 I, even I, have given the word; I have sent for him: I have made him come, and have given effect to his undertakings.
Jaz, celó jaz, sem govoril. Da, poklical sem ga. Privedel sem ga in svojo pot bo naredil uspešno.
16 Come near to me, and give ear to this; from the start I did not keep it secret; from the time of its coming into existence I was there: and now the Lord God has sent me, and given me his spirit.
Pridite blizu k meni, poslušajte to; od začetka nisem govoril na skrivnem; od časa, ko je to bilo, tam jaz sem. In sedaj me je poslal Gospod Bog in njegov Duh.«
17 The Lord who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, I am the Lord your God, who is teaching you for your profit, guiding you by the way in which you are to go.
Tako govori Gospod, tvoj Odkupitelj, Sveti Izraelov: »Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki te učim, da boš imel koristi, ki te vodim po poti, po kateri naj bi šel.
18 If only you had given ear to my orders, then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Oh, da bi prisluhnil mojim zapovedim! Potem bi bil tvoj mir kakor reka in tvoja pravičnost kakor morski valovi.
19 Your seed would have been like the sand, and your offspring like the dust: your name would not be cut off or come to an end before me.
Tudi tvojega semena bi bilo kakor peska in potomstvo tvoje notranjosti podobno njegovemu gramozu; njegovo ime ne bi bilo odrezano niti uničeno izpred mene.
20 Go out of Babylon, go in flight from the Chaldaeans; with the sound of song make it clear, give the news, let the word go out even to the end of the earth: say, The Lord has taken up the cause of his servant Jacob.
Pojdite naprej iz Babilona, pobegnite od Kaldejcev, z glasom petja razglasite, povejte to, izustite to celó do konca zemlje. Recite: › Gospod je odkupil svojega služabnika Jakoba.‹
21 They had no need of water when he was guiding them through the waste lands: he made water come out of the rock for them: the rock was parted and the waters came flowing out.
Niso bili žejni, ko jih je vodil skozi puščave. Zanje je vodam veleval, da tečejo iz skale. Razklal je tudi skalo in iz nje so pridrle vode.
22 There is no peace, says the Lord, for the evil-doers.
Tam ni miru, « govori Gospod, »zlobnemu.«
