Esias 45
1 Thus saith the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
Tako govori Gospod svojemu maziljencu Kiru, čigar desnico sem prijel, da bi pred njim podjarmil narode in odpasal bom ledja kraljev, da pred njim odprem dvoje opuščenih velikih vrat in velika vrata ne bodo zaprta:
2 I will go before thee, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
»Jaz bom šel pred teboj in naredil skrivljene kraje ravne, bronasta velika vrata bom razbil na koščke in železne zapahe presekal na dvoje.
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, I will open to thee hidden, unseen [treasures], that thou mayest know that I, the Lord thy God, that call thee by name, am the God of Israel.
Dal ti bom zaklade teme in skrita bogastva skrivnih krajev, da boš lahko vedel, da sem jaz, Gospod, ki te kličem s tvojim imenom, Izraelov Bog.
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call thee by thy name, and accept thee: but thou hast not known me.
Zaradi Jakoba, mojega služabnika in Izraela, mojega izvoljenega, sem te celó poklical po tvojem imenu. Imenoval sem te, čeprav me nisi poznal.
5 For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened thee, and thou hast not known me.
Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni, ni Boga poleg mene. Opasal sem te, čeprav me nisi poznal,
6 That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
da bi lahko vedeli od sončnega vzhoda in od zahoda, da ni nikogar poleg mene. Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni.
7 I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
Jaz oblikujem svetlobo in ustvarjam temo, sklepam mir in ustvarjam zlo. Jaz, Gospod, delam vse te stvari.
8 Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created thee.
Kapljajte, ve nebesa od zgoraj in naj nebo izlije pravičnost. Naj se zemlja odpre in naj rodi rešitev duš in naj skupaj požene pravičnost; jaz, Gospod, sem to ustvaril.
9 What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the ploughman plough the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What art thou doing that thou dost not work, nor hast hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
Gorje tistemu, ki se prepira s svojim Stvarnikom! Naj se črepinja prička s črepinjami zemlje. Mar bo ilo reklo tistemu, ki ga oblikuje: »Kaj delaš?« Ali tvoje delo: »On nima rok?«
10 As though one should say to [his] father, What wilt thou beget me? and to his mother, What art thou bringing forth?
Gorje tistemu, ki pravi svojemu očetu: »Čemu si zaplodil?« Ali ženski: »Kaj si rodila?«
11 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
Tako govori Gospod, Sveti Izraelov in njegov Stvarnik: »Vprašajte me o stvareh, ki pridejo, glede mojih sinov in glede dela mojih rok mi zapovejte.
12 I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
Naredil sem zemljo in na njej ustvaril človeka. Jaz, celó moje roke so razprostrle nebo in zapovedal sem vsej njegovi vojski.
13 I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, saith the Lord of hosts.
Dvignil sem ga v pravičnosti in jaz bom usmerjal vse njegove poti. Zgradil bo moje mesto in izpustil bo moje ujetnike, ne za ceno niti [ne za] nagrado, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for thee]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to thee, and shall be thy servants; and they shall follow after thee bound in fetters, and shall pass over to thee, and shall do obeisance to thee, and make supplication to thee: because God is in thee; and there is no God beside thee, [O Lord].
Tako govori Gospod: »Trud Egipta in trgovanje Etiopije in Sabejcev, postavnih mož, bo prišlo k tebi in oni bodo tvoji. Prišli bodo za teboj, v verigah bodo prišli in padli dol k tebi, ponižno te bodo prosili, rekoč: ›Zagotovo je Bog v tebi in tam ni nikogar drugega, tam ni Boga.‹
15 For thou art God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
Resnično, ti si Bog, ki samega sebe skrivaš, oh Izraelov Bog, Odrešenik.
16 All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: ye isles, keep a feast to me.
Osramočeni bodo in tudi zbegani, vsi izmed njih. Skupaj bodo šli v zmešnjavo, ki so izdelovalci malikov.
17 Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
Toda Izrael bo rešen v Gospodu z večno rešitvijo duš. Ne boste osramočeni niti zbegani, od veka do veka.
18 Thus saith the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
Kajti tako govori Gospod, ki je ustvaril nebo; sam Bog, ki je oblikoval zemljo in jo naredil, osnoval jo je, ni je ustvaril zaman, oblikoval jo je, da bi bila naseljena. Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni.
19 I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
Nisem govoril na skrivnem, na temnem kraju zemlje. Jakobovemu semenu nisem rekel: ›Zaman me iščite.‹ Jaz, Gospod, govorim pravičnost, razglašam stvari, ki so pravilne.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, ye that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
Zberite se in pridite, približajte se skupaj, vi, ki ste pobegnili narodom. Nimajo spoznanja, ki postavljajo les svojih rezanih podob in molijo k bogu, ki ne more rešiti.
21 If they will declare, let them draw nigh, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
Povejte in privedite jih blizu; da, naj se skupaj posvetujejo. Kdo je to razglasil od starodavnega časa? Kdo je to povedal od tistega časa? Mar nisem jaz, Gospod? In nobenega drugega Boga ni poleg mene, pravičnega Boga in Odrešenika, nobenega ni poleg mene.
22 Turn ye to me, and ye shall be saved, ye that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
Poglejte k meni in bodite rešeni, vsi konci zemlje, kajti jaz sem Bog in nobenega drugega ni.
23 By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
Prisegel sem sam pri sebi, beseda je izšla iz mojih ust v pravičnosti in se ne bo vrnila: ›Da se bo k meni priklonilo vsako koleno, vsak jezik bo prisegel.‹
24 saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
Zagotovo bo nekdo rekel: ›V Gospodu imam pravičnost in moč.‹ Celó k njemu bodo prišli ljudje in vsi tisti, ki so ogorčeni zoper njega, bodo osramočeni.
25 By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
V Gospodu bo vse seme Izraela opravičeno in bo slavilo.
