< Isaiah 51 >

1 Listen to me, you who follow what is just and who seek the Lord. Pay attention to the rock from which you have been hewn, and to the walls of the pit from which you have been dug.
Poslušajte me koji idete za pravdom, koji tražite Gospoda; pogledajte stijenu iz koje ste isjeèeni, i duboku jamu iz koje ste iskopani;
2 Pay attention to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who bore you. For I called him alone, and I blessed him, and I multiplied him.
Pogledajte Avrama, oca svojega, i Saru, koja vas je rodila, kako ga inokosna pozvah i blagoslovih ga i umnožih ga.
3 Therefore, the Lord will console Zion, and he will console all its ruins. And he will turn her desert into a place of delights, and her wilderness into a garden of the Lord. Gladness and rejoicing will be found in her, thanksgiving and a voice of praise.
Jer æe Gospod utješiti Sion, utješiæe sve razvaline njegove, i pustinju njegovu uèiniæe da bude kao Edem i pustoš njegova kao vrt Gospodnji, radost æe se i veselje nalaziti u njemu, zahvaljivanje i pjevanje.
4 Pay attention to me, my people, and listen to me, my tribes. For a law will go forth from me, and my judgment will rest as a light for the nations.
Poslušaj me, narode moj, i èuj me, rode moj; jer æe zakon od mene izaæi i sud svoj postaviæu da bude vidjelo narodima.
5 My just one is near. My savior has gone forth. And my arms will judge the people. The islands will hope in me, and they will patiently wait for my arm.
Blizu je pravda moja, izaæi æe spasenje moje, i mišice æe moje suditi narodima; mene æe ostrva èekati i u moju æe se mišicu uzdati.
6 Lift up your eyes to heaven, and look down to the earth below. For the heavens will vanish like smoke, and the earth will be worn away like a garment, and its inhabitants will pass away in like manner. But my salvation will be forever, and my justice will not fail.
Podignite k nebu oèi svoje i pogledajte dolje na zemlju; jer æe nebesa išèeznuti kao dim i zemlja æe kao haljina ovetšati, i koji na njoj žive pomrijeæe takoðer; a spasenje æe moje ostati dovijeka, i pravde moje neæe nestati.
7 Listen to me, you who know what is just, my people who have my law in their heart. Do not be afraid of disgrace among men, and do not dread their blasphemies.
Poslušajte me koji znate pravdu, narode, kojemu je u srcu zakon moj. Ne bojte se ruženja ljudskoga i od huljenja njihova ne plašite se.
8 For the worm will consume them like a garment, and the moth will devour them like wool. But my salvation will be forever, and my justice will be from generation to generation.
Jer æe ih moljac izjesti kao haljinu, i kao vunu izješæe ih crv; a pravda moja ostaje dovijeka i spasenje moje od koljena na koljeno.
9 Rise up, Rise up! Clothe yourself in strength, O arm of the Lord! Rise up as in the days of antiquity, as in generations long past. Have you not struck the arrogant one and wounded the dragon?
Probudi se, probudi se, obuci se u silu, mišico Gospodnja; probudi se kao u staro vrijeme, za naraštaja prošlijeh; nijesi li ti isjekla Ravu i ranila zmaja?
10 Have not you dried up the sea, the waters of the great abyss, and turned the depths of the sea into a road, so that the delivered could cross over it?
Nijesi li ti isušila more, vodu bezdana velikoga, od dubine morske naèinila put da proðu izbavljeni?
11 And now, those who have been redeemed by the Lord will return. And they will arrive in Zion, praising. And everlasting rejoicing will be upon their heads. They will take hold of gladness and rejoicing. Anguish and mourning will flee away.
Tako oni koje iskupi Gospod neka se vrate i doðu u Sion pjevajuæi, i veselje vjeèno neka bude nad glavom njihovom; radost i veselje neka zadobiju, a žalost i uzdisanje neka bježi.
12 It is I, I myself, who will console you. Who are you that you would be afraid of a mortal man, and of a son of man, who will wither like the grass?
Ja, ja sam utješitelj vaš; ko si ti da se bojiš èovjeka smrtnoga i sina èovjeèijega, koji je kao trava?
13 And have you forgotten the Lord, your Maker, who extended the heavens, and who founded the earth? And have you been in constant dread, all day long, at the face of his fury, of the one who afflicted you and who had prepared to destroy you? Where is the fury of the oppressor now?
I zaboravio si Boga tvorca svojega, koji je razapeo nebesa i osnovao zemlju? i jednako se bojiš svaki dan gnjeva onoga koji te pritješnjuje kad se sprema da zatire? a gdje je gnjev onoga koji pritješnjuje?
14 Advancing quickly, he will arrive to be revealed, and he will not kill unto utter destruction, nor will his bread fail.
Brzo æe se oprostiti sužanj, neæe umrijeti u jami, niti æe biti bez hljeba.
15 But I am the Lord, your God, who stirs up the sea, and who makes the waves swell. The Lord of hosts is my name.
Jer sam ja Gospod Bog tvoj, koji raskidam more, da valovi njegovi buèe; Gospod nad vojskama ime mi je.
16 I have placed my words in your mouth, and I have protected you in the shadow of my hand, so that you might plant the heavens, and found the earth, and so that you might say to Zion, “You are my people.”
Ja ti metnuh u usta rijeèi svoje i sjenom ruke svoje zaklonih te, da utvrdim nebesa i osnujem zemlju, i reèem Sionu: ti si moj narod.
17 Lift up, Lift up! Arise, O Jerusalem! You drank, from the hand of the Lord, the cup of his wrath. You drank, even to the bottom of the cup of deep sleep. And you were given to drink, all the way to the dregs.
Probudi se, probudi se, ustani, Jerusalime! koji si pio iz ruke Gospodnje èašu gnjeva njegova, pio si, i talog iz strašne èaše ispio si.
18 There is no one who can uphold her, out of all the sons whom she has conceived. And there is no one who would take her by the hand, out of all the sons whom she has raised.
Od svijeh sinova koje je rodio nijedan ga nije vodio, i od svijeh sinova koje je othranio nijedan ga nije prihvatio za ruku.
19 There are two things which have happened to you. Who will be saddened over you? There is devastation and destruction, and famine and sword. Who will console you?
Ovo te dvoje zadesi; ko te požali? Pustoš i rasap, i glad i maè; ko æe te utješiti?
20 Your sons have been cast out. They have slept at the head of all the roads, and they have been ensnared like a gazelle. They have been filled by the indignation of the Lord, by the rebuke of your God.
Sinovi tvoji obamrli leže po krajevima svijeh ulica kao bivo u mreži puni gnjeva Gospodnjega, i karanja Boga tvojega.
21 Therefore, listen to this, O poor little ones, and you who have been inebriated, but not by wine.
Zato èuj ovo, nevoljni, i pijani, ne od vina.
22 Thus says your Sovereign, the Lord, and your God, who will fight on behalf of his people: Behold, I have taken the cup of deep sleep from your hand. You shall no longer drink from the bottom of the cup of my indignation.
Ovako veli Gospod tvoj, Gospod i Bog tvoj, koji brani svoj narod: evo uzimam iz tvoje ruke èašu strašnu, talog u èaši gnjeva svojega; neæeš više piti.
23 And I will set it in the hand of those who have humiliated you, and who have said to your soul: “Bow down, so that we pass over.” And you placed your body on the ground, as a path for them to pass over.
Nego æu je dati u ruke onima koji te muèe, koji govoriše duši tvojoj: sagni se da prijeðemo, i ti si im podmetao leða svoja da budu kao zemlja i kao ulica onima koji prelaze.
