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.

Toda sedaj tako govori Gospod, ki te je ustvaril, oh Jakob in tisti, ki te je oblikoval, oh Izrael: »Ne boj se, kajti odkupil sem te, poklical sem te s tvojim imenom, moj si.

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.

Ko hodiš skozi vode, bom s teboj in skozi reke, te ne bodo preplavile. Ko hodiš skozi ogenj, ne boš ožgan niti se plamen ne bo vnel na tebi.

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.

Kajti jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, Sveti Izraelov, tvoj Odrešenik. Egipt sem dal za tvojo odkupnino, Etiopijo in Sebo zate.

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.

Ker si bil dragocen v mojem pogledu, bil si častitljiv in jaz sem te ljubil. Zato bom zate dal ljudi in ljudstva za tvoje življenje.

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, kajti jaz sem s teboj. Tvoje seme bom privedel od vzhoda in te zbral od zahoda.

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.

Severu bom rekel: ›Izroči‹ in jugu: ›Ne zadržuj.‹ Moje sinove privedi od daleč in moje hčere od koncev zemlje,

7 Euery one shall be called by my Name: for I created him for my glorie, formed him and made him.

celó vsakega, ki je klican z mojim imenom, kajti jaz sem ga ustvaril za svojo slavo, jaz sem ga oblikoval; da, jaz sem ga naredil.

8 I will bring foorth the blinde people, and they shall haue eyes, and the deafe, and they shall haue eares.

Privedi slepo ljudstvo, ki ima oči in gluhe, ki imajo ušesa.

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.

Naj bodo vsi narodi zbrani skupaj in naj bo ljudstvo zbrano. Kdo izmed njih lahko to razglasi in nam pokaže prejšnje stvari? Naj privedejo naprej svoje priče, da bodo lahko opravičeni. Ali naj slišijo in rečejo: › To je resnica.‹

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.

Vi ste moje priče, ‹ govori Gospod in moj služabnik, ki sem ga izbral, da me boste lahko poznali in mi verjeli in razumeli, da jaz sem ta. Pred menoj ni bil oblikovan noben Bog niti ne bo za menoj.

11 I, euen I am the Lord, and beside me there is no Sauiour.

Jaz, celó jaz sem Gospod in poleg mene ni rešitelja.

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.

Razglasil sem, rešil in pokazal, ko med vami ni bilo nobenega tujega boga. Zato ste vi moje priče, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da jaz sem 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?

Da, preden je bil dan, jaz sem in nobenega ni, ki lahko osvobodi iz moje roke. Delal bom in kdo bo to dopustil?‹

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.

Tako govori Gospod, vaš odkupitelj, Sveti Izraelov: ›Zaradi vas sem poslal v Babilon in ponižal vse njihove plemiče in Kaldejce, katerih vpitje je na ladjah.

15 I am the Lord your holy one, the creator of Israel, your King.

Jaz sem Gospod, vaš Sveti, stvarnik Izraela, vaš Kralj.‹

16 Thus sayeth the Lord which maketh a way in the Sea, and a path in the mighty waters.

Tako govori Gospod, ki dela pot v morju in stezo v mogočnih vodah,

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.

ki privede naprej bojni voz in konja, vojsko in moč; skupaj se bodo ulegli, ne bodo vstali. Izumrli so, pogašeni so kakor predivo.

18 Remember yee not the former things, neither regard the things of olde.

Ne spominjajte se prejšnjih stvari niti ne preudarjajte stvari od davnine.

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.

Glejte, storil bom novo stvar. Sedaj bo ta vzbrstela; mar tega ne boste spoznali? Naredil bom celo pot v divjini in reke v puščavi.

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.

Divja žival polja me bo spoštovala, zmaji in sove, ker dam vode v divjino in reke v puščavo, da dam piti svojemu ljudstvu, svojim izbranim.

21 This people haue I formed for my selfe: they shall shewe foorth my praise.

To ljudstvo sem oblikoval zase, naznanjali bodo mojo hvalo.

22 And thou hast not called vpon mee, O Iaakob, but thou hast wearied me, O Israel.

Toda ti nisi klical k meni, oh Jakob, temveč si se me naveličal, oh Izrael.

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 privedel majhne živine od svojih žgalnih daritev niti me nisi častil s svojimi klavnimi daritvami. Nisem ti storil, da služiš z daritvijo niti te nisem mučil s kadilom.

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.

Z denarjem mi nisi kupil nobenega sladkornega trsta niti me nisi nasičeval s tolščo svojih klavnih daritev, temveč si me s svojimi grehi primoral, da služim; izmučil si me s svojimi krivičnostmi.

25 I, euen I am he that putteth away thine iniquities for mine owne sake, and will not remember thy sinnes.

Jaz, celó jaz, sem tisti, ki zaradi sebe izbrisujem tvoje prestopke in se ne bom spominjal tvojih grehov.

26 Put me in remembrance: let vs be iudged together: count thou that thou maist be iustified.

Spomni me, skupaj se pravdajva. Ti razglasi, da boš lahko opravičen.

27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers haue transgressed against me.

Tvoj prvi oče je grešil in tvoji učitelji so se pregrešili zoper mene.

28 Therefore I haue prophaned the rulers of the Sanctuarie, and haue made Iaakob a curse, and Israel a reproche.

Zato sem oskrunil prince svetišča in dal Jakoba v prekletstvo in Izraela v graje.
