< Isaiah 50 >

1 This is what the Lord says: Where's your mother's divorce certificate I gave her when I sent her away? Which of my creditors did I sell you to? Now look! You were sold because of your sins, and your mother was sent away because of your wrongdoing.
Tako govori Gospod: »Kje je ločitveni list vaše matere, ki sem jo odslovil? Ali kateri izmed mojih upnikov je ta, h kateremu sem vas prodal? Glejte, zaradi svojih krivičnosti ste se sami prodali in zaradi vaših prestopkov je vaša mati odslovljena.
2 When I came, why wasn't anyone there? When I called, why didn't anyone answer? Is it because I don't have the strength to save you, or the power to rescue you? Can't you see that if I order it, the sea will dry up? I can turn rivers into a desert. Their fish stink because they've died of thirst since there's no water.
Zakaj ni bilo človeka, ko sem prišel? Ko sem klical ni bilo nobenega, da odgovori? Mar je moja roka precej skrajšana, da ne more odkupiti? Mar nimam moči, da osvobodim? Glejte, ob svoji graji posušim morje, reke naredim za divjino. Njihove ribe zaudarjajo, ker tam ni vode in poginjajo zaradi žeje.
3 I can make the heavens go dark, covering them with sackcloth like they're in mourning.
Jaz obláčim nebo s črnino in vrečevino delam [za] njihovo pokrivalo.
4 The Lord God has given me the ability to teach others, to know how to encourage those who are exhausted with a word. He wakes me up every morning; he helps me listen as a disciple.
Gospod Bog mi je dal jezik učenega, da bi vedel kako ob pravem času govoriti besedo tistemu, ki je izmučen. Zbuja [me] jutro za jutrom, on zbuja moje uho, da slišim kakor učeni.
5 The Lord God has instructed me, and I haven't been rebellious and I haven't turned away.
Gospod Bog mi je odprl moje uho in nisem bil uporen, niti se nisem odvrnil nazaj.
6 I offered my back for people to beat me and my cheeks for people to pull my beard. I didn't hide my face from their mocking and spitting.
Svoj hrbet sem dal tistim, ki so me udarjali in svoja lica tistim, ki so mi pulili brado. Svojega obraza nisem skril pred sramoto in pljuvanjem.
7 The Lord God helps me, so I haven't been disgraced. That's why I'm so determined, setting my face hard as stone, knowing I won't be humiliated.
Kajti Gospod Bog mi bo pomagal, zato ne bom zbegan. Zato sem svoj obraz naravnal kakor kremen in vem, da ne bom osramočen.
8 The one who vindicates me is close by, so who will bring charges against me? Let's stand to oppose one another! Come on, anyone who wants to accuse me!
Blizu je ta, ki me opravičuje. Kdo se bo spoprijel z menoj? Stopiva skupaj. Kdo je moj nasprotnik? Naj pride bliže k meni.
9 The Lord God defends me. Who is going to declare me guilty? Look! Those who try will fall apart like old clothing, eaten up by moths.
Glej, Gospod Bog mi bo pomagal; kdo je tisti, ki me bo obsojal? Glej, vsi se bodo postarali kakor obleka, molj jih bo požrl.
10 Who among you respects the Lord and obeys what his servant says? Who among you walks in darkness and doesn't have light? Let them trust in the Lord and put their confidence in God.
Kdo je med vami, ki se boji Gospoda, ki uboga glas svojega služabnika, ki hodi v temi in nima svetlobe? Naj zaupa v Gospodovo ime in se naslanja na svojega Boga.
11 Beware all you who start a fire, who pick up blazing torches! Go ahead, walk in the light of your own fire and of the torches you yourselves have set alight! This is what you will receive from me: You are going to lie down in a place of suffering.
Glejte, vsi vi, ki prižigate ogenj, ki se naokrog obdajate z iskrami. Hodite v svetlobi svojega ognja in v iskrah, ki ste jih vžgali. To boste imeli od moje roke; ulegli se boste v bridkosti.
