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.
Molčite pred menoj, oh otoki in naj ljudstvo obnavlja svojo moč. Naj pridejo bliže, potem jim pustite govoriti. Pridimo blizu skupaj k sodbi.
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.
Kdo je dvignil pravičnega človeka od vzhoda in ga poklical k svojemu stopalu, dal predenj narode in ga naredil, [da] vlada nad kralji? Izročil jih je kakor prah njegovemu meču in kakor slamo gnano k njegovemu loku.
3 He pursued them, and passed safely by the way that he had not gone with his feete.
Zasledoval jih je in varno prešel; celó po poti, [po] kateri [še] ni šel s svojimi stopali.
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.
Kdo je delal in to storil, kličoč rodove od začetka? Jaz, Gospod, prvi in s poslednjimi; jaz sem ta.
5 The yles sawe it, and did feare, and the ends of the earth were abashed, drew neere, and came.
Otoki so to videli in se bali; konci zemlje so bili prestrašeni, se približali in prišli.
6 Euery man helped his neighbour, and saide to his brother, Be strong.
Pomagali so vsak svojemu sosedu in vsak je svojemu bratu rekel: »Bodi odločnega poguma.«
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.
Tako je tesar hrabril zlatarja in kdor gladi s kladivom, tistega, ki udarja nakovalo, rekoč: »Ta je pripravljen za spajanje« in ga pritrdil z žeblji, da ta ne bi bil premaknjen.
8 But thou, Israel, art my seruant, and thou Iaakob, whom I haue chosen, the seede of Abraham my friend.
Toda ti, Izrael, si moj služabnik, Jakob, ki sem ga izbral, seme Abrahama, mojega prijatelja.
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, ki sem te vzel od koncev zemlje in te poklical od njihovih glavnih mož in ti rekel: »Ti si moj služabnik, izbral sem te in te nisem zavrgel.
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, kajti jaz sem s teboj. Ne bodi potrt, kajti jaz sem tvoj Bog. Okrepil te bom, da, jaz ti bom pomagal, da, podpiral te bom z desnico svoje pravičnosti.
11 Beholde, all they that prouoke thee, shalbe ashamed, and confounded: they shalbe as nothing, and they that striue with thee, shall perish.
Glej, vsi tisti, ki so bili ogorčeni zoper tebe, bodo osramočeni in zbegani. Oni bodo kakor nič in tisti, ki se prepirajo s teboj, bodo propadli.
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.
Iskal jih boš in jih ne boš našel, celó tiste, ki so se pričkali s teboj. Tisti, ki se vojskujejo zoper tebe, bodo kakor nič in kakor stvar ničnosti.
13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying vnto thee, Feare not, I wil helpe thee.
Kajti jaz, Gospod, tvoj Bog, bom držal tvojo desnico, rekoč ti: »Ne boj se, jaz ti bom pomagal.«
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, ti ličinka Jakob in vi, Izraelovi možje, pomagal ti bom, govori Gospod in tvoj odkupitelj, Sveti Izraelov.
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.
Glej, naredil te bom [za] novo ostro mlatilno pripravo z zobmi. Mlatil boš gore, jih razdrobil in hribe boš naredil kakor pleve.
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.
Vejál jih boš in veter jih bo odnesel proč in vrtinčast veter jih bo razkropil, ti pa se boš razveseljeval v Gospodu in slavil boš v Svetem Izraelovem.
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)
Kadar ubogi in pomoči potrebni iščejo vode in je tam ni in njihov jezik odpoveduje zaradi žeje, jih bom jaz, Gospod, uslišal in jaz, Izraelov Bog, jih ne bom zapustil.
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.
Odprl bom reke na visokih krajih in studence v sredi dolin. Divjino bom spremenil [v] vodni ribnik in suho deželo [v] izvire voda.
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.
V divjini bom zasadil cedro, akacijevo drevo, mirto in olivno drevo; v puščavi bom skupaj posadil cipreso, bor in pušpan,
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 bodo lahko videli, spoznali, preudarili in skupaj razumeli, da je to storila Gospodova roka in Sveti Izraelov je to ustvaril.
21 Stand to your cause, saith the Lord: bring forth your strong reasons, saith ye King of Iaakob.
Prinesite svojo pravdo, ‹ govori Gospod; ›prinesite naprej svoje močne razloge, govori Kralj Jakobov.
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.
Naj jih prinesejo naprej in nam pokažejo kaj se bo zgodilo. Naj nam pokažejo prejšnje stvari, kakršne so, da jih lahko preudarimo in spoznamo njihov zadnji konec; ali nam oznanite stvari, ki pridejo.
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.
Pokažite stvari, ki bodo odslej, da bomo lahko vedeli, da ste vi bogovi. Da, delajte dobro ali delajte zlo, da bomo lahko zaprepadeni in to skupaj gledali.
24 Beholde, ye are of no value, and your making is of naught: man hath chosen an abomination by them.
Glejte, vi ste od ničnosti in vaše delo je ničevo; ogabnost je, kdor vas izbere.
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.
Dvignil sem nekoga iz severa in bo prišel. Od sončnega vzhoda bo klical moje ime in prišel bo nad prince kakor nad malto in kakor lončar gnete ilo.
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.
Kdo je razglasil od začetka, da bi mi lahko vedeli? In poprej, da bi lahko rekli: » On je pravičen?« Da, tam ni nikogar, ki kaže; da, tam ni nikogar, ki razglaša; da, tam ni nikogar, ki sliši vaše besede.
27 I am the first, that saieth to Zion, Beholde, beholde them: and I will giue to Ierusalem one that shall bring good tidings.
Prvi bo rekel Sionu: »Poglej, poglej jih.« In Jeruzalemu bom dal nekoga, ki prinaša dobre novice.
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.
Kajti gledal sem in tam ni bilo človeka, celo med njimi in tam ni bilo svetovalca, da bi lahko, ko sem jih povprašal, odgovoril besedo.
29 Beholde, they are all vanitie: their worke is of nothing, their images are wind and confusion.
Glej, vsi so ničnost, njihova dela so nič. Njihove ulite podobe so veter in zmešnjava.
