< Isaiah 43 >

1 But nowe thus sayeth the Lord, that created thee, O Iaakob: and hee that formed thee, O Israel, Feare not: for I haue redeemed thee: I haue called thee by thy name, thou art mine.
Sada ovako govori Jahve, koji te stvorio, Jakove, koji te sazdao, Izraele: “Ne boj se, jer ja sam te otkupio; imenom sam te zazvao: ti si moj!
2 When thou passest through the waters, I wil be with thee, and through the floods, that they doe not ouerflowe thee. When thou walkest through the very fire, thou shalt not be burnt, neither shall the flame kindle vpon thee.
Kad preko vode prelaziš, s tobom sam; ili preko rijeke, neće te preplaviti. Pođeš li kroz vatru, nećeš izgorjeti, plamen te opaliti neće.
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the holy one of Israel, thy Sauiour: I gaue Egypt for thy ransome, Ethiopia, and Seba for thee.
Jer ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, Svetac Izraelov, tvoj spasitelj. Za otkupninu tvoju dajem Egipat, mjesto tebe dajem Kuš i Šebu.
4 Because thou wast precious in my sight, and thou wast honourable, and I loued thee, therefore will I giue man for thee, and people for thy sake.
Jer dragocjen si u mojim očima, vrijedan si i ja te ljubim. Stog i dajem ljude za tebe i narode za život tvoj.
5 Feare not, for I am with thee: I will bring thy seede from the East, and gather thee from the West.
Ne boj se jer ja sam s tobom. S istoka ću ti dovest' potomstvo i sabrat ću te sa zapada.
6 I will say to the North, Giue: and to the South, Keepe not backe: bring my sonnes from farre, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
Reći ću sjeveru: 'Daj mi ga!' a jugu 'Ne zadržavaj ga!' Sinove mi dovedi izdaleka i kćeri moje s kraja zemlje,
7 Euery one shall be called by my Name: for I created him for my glorie, formed him and made him.
sve koji se mojim zovu imenom i koje sam na svoju slavu stvorio, koje sam sazdao i načinio.”
8 I will bring foorth the blinde people, and they shall haue eyes, and the deafe, and they shall haue eares.
Izvedi narod slijep, premda oči ima, i gluh, premda uši ima.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this and shewe vs former things? let them bring foorth their witnesses, that they may be iustified: but let them heare, and say, It is truth.
Neka se saberu sva plemena i neka se skupe narodi. Tko je od njih to prorekao i davno navijestio? Nek' dovedu svjedoke da se opravdaju, neka se čuje da se može reći: “Istina je!”
10 You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my seruant, whom I haue chosen: therefore yee shall knowe and beleeue me and yee shall vnderstand that I am: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Jer vi ste mi svjedoci, riječ je Jahvina, i moje sluge koje sam izabrao, da biste znali i vjerovali i uvidjeli da sam to ja. Prije mene nijedan bog nije bio načinjen i neće poslije mene biti.
11 I, euen I am the Lord, and beside me there is no Sauiour.
Ja, ja sam Jahve, osim mene nema spasitelja.
12 I haue declared, and I haue saued, and I haue shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, sayeth the Lord, that I am God.
Ja sam prorekao, spasio i navijestio, i nema među vama tuđinca! Vi ste mi svjedoci, riječ je Jahvina, a ja sam Bog
13 Yea, before the day was, I am, and there is none that can deliuer out of mine hand: I will doe it, and who shall let it?
od vječnosti - ja jesam! I nitko iz ruke moje ne izbavlja; što učinim, tko izmijeniti može?
14 Thus sayeth the Lord your redeemer, the holy one of Israel, For your sake I haue sent to Babel, and brought it downe: they are all fugitiues, and the Chaldeans crie in the shippes.
Ovako govori Jahve, otkupitelj vaš, Svetac Izraelov: “Radi vas poslah protiv Babilona, oborit ću prijevornice zatvorima i Kaldejci će udarit u kukanje.
15 I am the Lord your holy one, the creator of Israel, your King.
Ja sam Jahve, Svetac vaš, stvoritelj Izraelov, kralj vaš!”
16 Thus sayeth the Lord which maketh a way in the Sea, and a path in the mighty waters.
Ovako govori Jahve, koji put po moru načini i stazu po vodama silnim;
17 When hee bringeth out the charet and horse, the armie and the power lie together, and shall not rise: they are extinct, and quenched as towe.
koji izvede bojna kola i konje, vojsku i junake, i oni padoše da više ne ustanu, zgasnuše, kao stijenj se utrnuše.
18 Remember yee not the former things, neither regard the things of olde.
Ne spominjite se onog što se zbilo, nit' mislite na ono što je prošlo.
19 Behold, I do a new thing: now shall it come foorth: shall you not knowe it? I wil euen make a way in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse.
Evo, činim nešto novo; već nastaje. Zar ne opažate? Da, put ću napraviti u pustinji, a staze u pustoši.
20 The wilde beastes shall honour mee, the dragons and the ostriches, because I gaue water in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse to giue drinke to my people, euen to mine elect.
Slavit će me divlje zvijeri, čaglji i nojevi, jer vodu ću stvorit' u pustinji, rijeke u stepi, da napojim svoj narod, izabranika svoga.
21 This people haue I formed for my selfe: they shall shewe foorth my praise.
I narod koji sam sebi sazdao moju će kazivati hvalu!
22 And thou hast not called vpon mee, O Iaakob, but thou hast wearied me, O Israel.
Ali me ti, Jakove, nisi zazvao, niti si se zamorio oko mene, Izraele!
23 Thou hast not brought me the sheepe of thy burnt offrings, neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I haue not caused thee to serue with an offring, nor wearied thee with incense.
Nisi mi prinosio ovce za paljenicu, nisi me častio žrtvama. A ja te silio nisam na prinose, nisam ti dodijavao ištući kada.
24 Thou boughtest mee no sweete sauour with money, neither hast thou made mee drunke with the fatte of thy sacrifices, but thou hast made mee to serue with thy sinnes, and wearied mee with thine iniquities.
Nisi mi kupovao za novac trsku, nisi me sitio salom svojih žrtava; nego si me grijesima svojim mučio, bezakonjem svojim dosađivao mi.
25 I, euen I am he that putteth away thine iniquities for mine owne sake, and will not remember thy sinnes.
A ja, ja radi sebe opačine tvoje brišem i grijeha se tvojih ne spominjem.
26 Put me in remembrance: let vs be iudged together: count thou that thou maist be iustified.
Podsjeti me, zajedno se sporimo, govori ti da se opravdaš.
27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers haue transgressed against me.
Prvi je otac tvoj sagriješio, posrednici tvoji od mene se odmetnuli,
28 Therefore I haue prophaned the rulers of the Sanctuarie, and haue made Iaakob a curse, and Israel a reproche.
knezovi su tvoji oskvrnuli Svetište. Tad izručih Jakova prokletstvu, i poruzi Izraela.
