Isaiah 63
1 Who is this, who arrives from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah? This is the Handsome One in his robe, advancing by the fullness of his strength. It is I, the Speaker of Justice, and I am the Fighter for Salvation.
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 So then, why is your garment red, and why are your vestments like the ones of those who tread the winepress?
- Zašto je crvena tvoja haljina i odijelo kao u onog koji gazi u kaci?
3 I have trod the winepress alone. And among the nations, there is no man beside me. I have trampled on them in my fury, and I have tread them down in my wrath. And so, their blood has been sprinkled on my vestments, and I have stained all my garments.
- 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 is in my heart. The year of my redemption has arrived.
Jer dan osvete bijaše mi u srcu, došla je godina mojeg otkupljenja.
5 I gazed around, and there was no one to assist. I sought, and there was no one who would help. And so, my own arm has saved for me, and my own wrath itself has assisted 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 And I have trampled the peoples in my fury, and I have inebriated them with my indignation, and I have torn down their strength to the ground.
U gnjevu svom satrijeh narode, u bijesu sve ih izgazih i zemlju polih krvlju njihovom!
7 I will remember the compassion of the Lord, the praise of the Lord over all that the Lord has bestowed on us, and over the multitude of his good things for the house of Israel, which he has granted to them according to his leniency, and according to the multitude of his mercies.
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 And he said: “Yet truly, these are my people, sons who have not been disowned.” And 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 Throughout all their tribulation, he was not troubled, for the Angel of his presence saved them. With his love, and by his leniency, he has redeemed them, and he has carried them and lifted them up, throughout all the days of the ages.
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 themselves provoked to wrath and afflicted his Holy Spirit, and he was turned to be for them like an enemy, and he himself went to war against them.
Ali se oni odmetnuše, ožalostiše sveti Duh njegov. Zato im je postao neprijatelj i sam je na njih zavojštio.
11 And he remembered the days of ancient times, the days of Moses and his people. Where is he who led them out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who placed his Holy Spirit in their midst?
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 He led Moses by the right hand, with the arm of his majesty. He split the waters before them, in order to make an everlasting name for himself.
Koji je Mojsijevu desnicu vodio veličanstveno svojom mišicom, koji vodu pred njima razdvoji i steče sebi ime vječno;
13 He led them through the abyss, like a horse which does not stumble, in the desert.
koji ih provede dnom bezdana kao konja po pustinji i nisu se spoticali?
14 Like an animal who descends to an open field, the Spirit of the Lord was their guide. Thus did you lead your people, in order to make a glorious name for yourself.
Poput stoke što silazi u dolinu, Duh Jahvin vodio ih počivalištu. Tako si ti vodio narod svoj i slavno ime sebi stekao.
15 Gaze down from heaven, and behold from your holy habitation and from your glory. Where is your zeal, and your strength, the fullness of your heart and of your compassion? They have held themselves back from me.
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 For you are our Father, and Abraham has not known us, and Israel has been ignorant of us. You are our Father, O Lord our Redeemer. Your name is beyond all ages.
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 have you allowed us to stray from your ways, O Lord? Why have you hardened our heart, so that we do not fear you? Return, for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.
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 They have possessed your holy people as if it were nothing. Our enemies have trampled your sanctuary.
Zašto bezbožnici gaze tvoje Svetište, a neprijatelji naši blate tvoju svetinju?
19 We have become as we were in the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and when we were not called by your name.
Odavna postadosmo kao oni kojima više ne vladaš i koji tvoje ime više ne nose.
