Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Èujte ovo, dome Jakovljev, koji se zovete imenom Izrailjevijem, i iz vode Judine izidoste, koji se kunete imenom Gospodnjim, i Boga Izrailjeva pominjete, ali ne po istini i po pravdi.
2 For they are named after the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Jer se imenuju po svetom gradu, oslanjaju se na Boga Izrailjeva, kojemu je ime Gospod nad vojskama.
3 I have declared the former things long ago; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to be heard: I wrought suddenly, and they came to pass.
Što je preðe bivalo, kazivah naprijed odavna, i što iz mojih usta izide i objavih, uèinih brzo i zbi se.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,
Znao sam da si uporan, i vrat da ti je gvozdena žila, i èelo da ti je od mjedi.
5 so I have long ago declared [them] to thee; before they came to pass I caused thee to hear [them]; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, or my molten image hath commanded them.
I zato ti odavna objavih, prije nego se zbi kazah ti, da ne bi rekao: idol moj uèini to, i lik moj rezani i lik moj liveni zapovjediše tako.
6 Thou heardest, see all this; — and ye, will not ye declare [it]? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, and things hidden, and that thou knewest not:
Èuo si; pogledaj sve to; a vi neæete li objavljivati? otsele ti javljam novo i sakriveno, što nijesi znao;
7 they are created now, and not long ago; and before this day thou hast not heard them, lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
Sada se stvori, i nedavno, i prije ovoga dana nijesi èuo, da ne reèeš: gle, znao sam.
8 Yea, thou heardest not, yea, thou knewest not, yea, from of old thine ear was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest ever deal treacherously, and thou wast called a transgressor from the womb.
Niti si èuo ni znao, i prije ti se uši ne otvoriše, jer znadijah da æeš èiniti nevjeru, i da se zoveš prestupnik od utrobe materine.
9 For my name's sake I will defer mine anger, and [for] my praise will I refrain as to thee, that I cut thee not off.
Imena svojega radi ustegnuæu gnjev svoj, i radi hvale svoje uzdržaæu se prema tebi, da te ne istrijebim.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Evo, pretopiæu te, ali ne kao srebro, prebraæu te u peæi nevolje.
11 For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do [it]; for how should [my name] be profaned? and I will not give my glory unto another.
Sebe radi, sebe radi uèiniæu, jer kako bi se hulilo na ime moje? i slave svoje neæu dati drugome.
12 Hearken unto me, Jacob, and [thou] Israel, my called. I [am] HE; I, the first, and I, the last.
Èuj me, Jakove i Izrailju, kojega ja pozvah: ja sam prvi, ja sam i pošljednji.
13 Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread abroad the heavens: I call unto them, they stand up together.
I moja je ruka osnovala zemlju, i moja je desnica izmjerila nebesa peðu; kad ih zovnem, svi doðu.
14 All ye, gather yourselves together, and hear: which among them hath declared these things? He whom Jehovah hath loved shall execute his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm [shall be on] the Chaldeans.
Skupite se svi i èujte: ko je od njih objavio ovo? Gospod ga miluje, on æe izvršiti volju njegovu na Vavilonu, i mišica æe njegova biti nasuprot Haldejcima.
15 I, [even] I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and his way shall be prosperous.
Ja, ja rekoh, i pozvah ga, dovešæu ga, i biæe sreæan na svom putu.
16 Come near unto me, hear ye this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and his Spirit.
Pristupite k meni, èujte ovo: od poèetka nijesam govorio tajno; otkako to bi, bijah ondje; a sada Gospod Gospod posla me i duh njegov.
17 Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I [am] Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee for [thy] profit, who leadeth thee in the way that thou shouldest go.
Ovako veli Gospod, izbavitelj tvoj, svetac Izrailjev: ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj koji te uèim da bi napredovao, vodim te putem kojim treba da ideš.
18 Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! Then would thy peace have been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea;
O, da si pazio na zapovjesti moje! mir bi tvoj bio kao rijeka, i pravda tvoja kao valovi morski;
19 and thy seed would have been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: their name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
I sjemena bi tvojega bilo kao pijeska, i poroda utrobe tvoje kao zrna njegovijeh; ime se njihovo ne bi zatrlo ni istrijebilo ispred mene.
20 Go ye forth from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing; declare, cause this to be heard, utter it to the end of the earth; say ye, Jehovah hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Izidite iz Vavilona, bježite od Haldejaca; glasno pjevajuæi objavljujte, kazujte, razglašujte do krajeva zemaljskih; recite: izbavi Gospod slugu svojega Jakova.
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; yea, he clave the rock, and the waters gushed out.
Neæe ožednjeti kad ih povede preko pustinje; vodu iz stijene toèiæe im, jer æe rascijepiti kamen i poteæi æe voda.
22 There is no peace, saith Jehovah, unto the wicked.
Nema mira bezbožnicima, veli Gospod.
