Isaiah 41
1 Keep silence before mee, O ylands, and let the people renue their strength: let the come neere, and let them speake: let vs come together into iudgement.
Umuknite preda mnom, ostrva; i narodi neka se potkrijepe, neka pristupe, i tada neka reku: hajdemo da se sudimo.
2 Who raised vp iustice from the East, and called him to his foote? and gaue the nations before him, and subdued the Kings? he gaue them as dust to his sword, and as scattered stubble vnto his bowe.
Ko je podigao pravdu s istoka? ko je dozvao da ide za njim ustopice? ko joj je pokorio narode i dao joj vlast nad carevima i uèinio te su kao prah maèu njezinu i kao razvijana pljeva luku njezinu?
3 He pursued them, and passed safely by the way that he had not gone with his feete.
Pogna ih, proðe mirno putem, kojim ne bješe hodio nogama svojim.
4 Who hath wrought and done it? he that calleth the generations from the beginning. I the Lord am the first, and with the last I am ye same.
Ko je uradio i uèinio to? i zove naraštaje od iskona? Ja, Gospod, prvi i pošljednji, ja isti.
5 The yles sawe it, and did feare, and the ends of the earth were abashed, drew neere, and came.
Vidješe ostrva i uplašiše se, krajevi zemaljski zadrktaše, približiše se i doðoše.
6 Euery man helped his neighbour, and saide to his brother, Be strong.
Jedan drugom pomagaše, i bratu svojemu govoraše: budi hrabar.
7 So the workeman comforted the founder, and he that smote with ye hammer, him that smote by course, saying, It is ready for the sodering, and he fastened it with nayles that it shoulde not be mooued.
Drvodjelja hrabraše zlatara; koji kleplje hrabraše onoga koji kuje na nakovnju, govoreæi: dobro je za spajanje. I pritvrðivaše klincima da se ne pomièe.
8 But thou, Israel, art my seruant, and thou Iaakob, whom I haue chosen, the seede of Abraham my friend.
Ali ti, Izrailju, slugo moj; Jakove, kojega izabrah, sjeme Avrama prijatelja mojega!
9 For I haue taken thee from the endes of the earth, and called thee before the chiefe thereof, and saide vnto thee, Thou art my seruant: I haue chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
Ti, kojega uzeh s krajeva zemaljskih, i izmeðu izbranijeh njezinijeh dozvah te, i rekoh ti: ti si moj sluga, ja te izabrah, i ne odbacih tebe;
10 Feare thou not, for I am with thee: be not afraide, for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, and helpe thee, and will susteine thee with the right hand of my iustice.
Ne boj se, jer sam ja s tobom; ne plaši se, jer sam ja Bog tvoj; ukrijepiæu te i pomoæi æu ti, i poduprijeæu te desnicom pravde svoje.
11 Beholde, all they that prouoke thee, shalbe ashamed, and confounded: they shalbe as nothing, and they that striue with thee, shall perish.
Gle, postidjeæe se i posramiæe svi koji se ljute na tebe; biæe kao ništa i izginuæe protivnici tvoji.
12 Thou shalt seeke them and shalt not finde them: to wit, the men of thy strife, for they shall be as nothing, and the men that warre against thee, as a thing of nought.
Potražiæeš suparnike svoje, ali ih neæeš naæi, biæe kao ništa, i koji vojuju na te, nestaæe ih.
13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying vnto thee, Feare not, I wil helpe thee.
Jer ja Gospod Bog tvoj držim te za desnicu, i kažem ti: ne boj se, ja æu ti pomagati.
14 Feare not, thou worme, Iaakob, and ye men of Israel: I wil helpe thee, sayth the Lord and thy redeemer the holy one of Israel.
Ne boj se, crviæu Jakovljev, narodiæu Izrailjev, ja æu ti pomagati, govori Gospod i izbavitelj tvoj, svetac Izrailjev.
15 Behold, I wil make thee a roller, and a newe threshing instrument hauing teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountaines, and bring them to pouder, and shalt make the hilles as chaffe.
Gle, uèiniæu te da budeš kao sprava za vršenje nova sa zupcima: vrijeæi æeš gore i satræeš ih, i brda æeš obratiti u pljevu.
16 Thou shalt fanne them, and the winde shall carie them away, and the whirlewinde shall scatter them: and thou shalt reioyce in the Lord, and shalt glory in the holy one of Israel.
Vijaæeš ih, i vjetar æe ih odnijeti i vihor æe ih rasuti, a ti æeš se veseliti u Gospodu i hvaliæeš se svecem Izrailjevijem.
17 When the poore and the needy seeke water, and there is none (their tongue faileth for thirst: I the Lord will heare them: I the God of Israel will not forsake them)
Siromahe i uboge, koji traže vode a nje nema, kojima se jezik osušio od žeði, njih æu uslišiti ja Gospod, ja Bog Izrailjev neæu ih ostaviti.
18 I will open riuers in the toppes of the hils, and fountaines in the middes of the valleis: I will make the wildernesse as a poole of water, and the waste land as springs of water.
Otvoriæu rijeke na visovima, i izvore usred dolina, pustinju æu obratiti u jezero vodeno, i suhu zemlju u izvore vodene.
19 I will set in the wildernesse the cedar, the shittah tree, and the mirre tree, and the pine tree, and I will set in the wildernesse the firre tree, the elme and the boxe tree together.
Posadiæu u pustinji kedar, sitim, mirtu i maslinu; posadiæu u pustoj zemlji jelu, brijest i šimšir,
20 Therefore let them see and knowe, and let them consider and vnderstande together that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the holy one of Israel hath created it.
Da vide i poznadu i da promisle i razumiju da je to uradila ruka Gospodnja, i svetac Izrailjev da je to stvorio.
21 Stand to your cause, saith the Lord: bring forth your strong reasons, saith ye King of Iaakob.
Iznesite parbu svoju, veli Gospod, pokažite razloge svoje, veli car Jakovljev.
22 Let them bring foorth, and let them tell vs what shall come: let them shew the former things what they be, that wee may consider them, and knowe the latter ende of them: either declare vs things for to come.
Neka doðu i neka nam objave šta æe biti; objavite nam šta je prvo bilo, da promislimo i poznamo šta æe biti iza toga; ili kažite nam šta æe biti unapredak.
23 Shewe the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods: yea, doe good or doe euill, that we may declare it, and beholde it together.
Kažite šta æe biti poslije, i poznaæemo da ste bogovi; ili uèinite što dobro ili zlo, i diviæemo se i gledati svi.
24 Beholde, ye are of no value, and your making is of naught: man hath chosen an abomination by them.
Gle, vi nijeste ništa, i djelo vaše nije ništa; koji vas izbira, gad je.
25 I haue raised vp from the North, and he shall come: from the East sunne shall he cal vpon my Name, and shall come vpon princes as vpon clay, and as the potter treadeth myre vnder the foote.
Podigoh jednoga sa sjevera, i doæi æe; od istoka sunèanoga prizivaæe ime moje, stupaæe po glavarima kao po kalu i kao što lonèar gazi blato.
26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may knowe? or before time, that we may say, He is righteous? Surely there is none that sheweth: surely there is none that declareth: surely there is none that heareth your wordes.
Ko je objavio od iskona, da bismo znali, ili od starina, da bismo rekli: istina je? Ali nema nikoga da bi objavio, niti ima koga da naprijed kazao, niti ima koga da bi èuo rijeèi vaše.
27 I am the first, that saieth to Zion, Beholde, beholde them: and I will giue to Ierusalem one that shall bring good tidings.
Ja prvi Sionu kažem: eto, eto toga. U Jerusalimu æu dati ko æe javljati dobre glase.
28 But when I behelde, there was none, and when I inquired of them, there was no counsellor, and when I demaunded of them, they answered not a woorde.
Jer pogledam, ali nema nikoga, nema meðu njima nijednoga ko bi svjetovao; pitam ih, ali ne odgovaraju ni rijeèi.
29 Beholde, they are all vanitie: their worke is of nothing, their images are wind and confusion.
Gle, svi su taština, ništa su djela njihova; liveni su likovi njihovi vjetar i ništavilo.
