Isaiah 44
1 Yet nowe heare, O Iaakob my seruant, and Israel, whom I haue chosen.
Ali sada èuj, Jakove, slugo moj, i Izrailju, kojega izabrah.
2 Thus sayeth the Lord, that made thee, and formed thee from the wombe: he wil helpe thee. Feare not, O Iaakob, my seruaunt, and thou righteous, whome I haue chosen.
Ovako veli Gospod, koji te je stvorio i sazdao od utrobe materine, i koji ti pomaže: ne boj se, slugo moj Jakove, i mili, kojega izabrah.
3 For I will powre water vpon the thirstie, and floods vpon the drie grounde: I will powre my Spirit vpon thy seede, and my blessing vpon thy buddes.
Jer æu izliti vodu na žednoga i potoke na suhu zemlju, izliæu duh svoj na sjeme tvoje i blagoslov svoj na tvoje natražje.
4 And they shall grow as among the grasse, and as the willowes by the riuers of waters.
I procvjetaæe kao u travi, kao vrbe pokraj potoka.
5 One shall say, I am the Lordes: another shalbe called by the name of Iaakob: and another shall subscribe with his hand vnto the Lord, and name himselfe by the name of Israel.
Ovaj æe reæi: ja sam Gospodnji, a onaj æe se zvati po imenu Jakovljevu, a drugi æe se pisati svojom rukom Gospodnji, i prezivaæe se imenom Izrailjevijem.
6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel and his redeemer, the Lord of hostes, I am the first, and I am the last, and without me is there no God.
Ovako govori Gospod car Izrailjev i izbavitelj njegov, Gospod nad vojskama: ja sam prvi i ja sam pošljednji, i osim mene nema Boga.
7 And who is like me, that shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order before me, since I appointed the ancient people? and what is at hand, and what things are to come? let them shewe vnto them.
I ko kao ja oglašuje i objavljuje ovo, ili mi ureðuje otkako naselih stari narod? Neka im javi što æe biti i što æe doæi.
8 Feare ye not, neither be afraide: haue not I tolde thee of olde, and haue declared it? you are euen my witnesses, whether there be a God beside me, and that there is no God that I knowe not.
Ne bojte se i ne plašite se; nijesam li ti davno kazao i objavio? vi ste mi svjedoci; ima li Bog osim mene? Da, nema stijene, ne znam ni jedne.
9 All they that make an image, are vanitie, and their delectable things shall nothing profite: and they are their owne witnesses, that they see not nor know: therefore they shalbe confounded.
Koji grade rezane likove, svi su ništa, i mile stvari njihove ne pomažu ništa, i one su im svjedoci da ne vide i ne razumiju, da bi se posramili.
10 Who hath made a god, or molten an image, that is profitable for nothing?
Ko gradi boga i lije lik, nije ni na kaku korist.
11 Beholde, all that are of the fellowship thereof, shall be confounded: for the workemen themselues are men: let them all be gathered together, and stand vp, yet they shall feare, and be confounded together.
Gle, svi æe se drugovi njegovi posramiti, i umjetnici više od drugih ljudi; neka se skupe svi i stanu, biæe ih strah i posramiæe se svi.
12 The smith taketh an instrument, and worketh in the coles, and facioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his armes: yea, he is an hungred, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
Kovaè kliještima radi na živom ugljevlju, i kuje èekiæem, i radi snagom svoje ruke, gladuje, te iznemogne, i ne pije vode, te sustane.
13 The carpenter stretcheth out a line: he facioneth it with a red thread, he planeth it, and he purtreyeth it with the compasse, and maketh it after the figure of a man, and according to the beautie of a man that it may remaine in an house.
Drvodjelja rasteže vrvcu i bilježi crvenilom, teše i zaokružuje, i naèinja kao lik èovjeèji, kao lijepa èovjeka, da stoji u kuæi.
14 He will hewe him downe cedars, and take the pine tree and the oke, and taketh courage among the trees of the forest: he planteth a firre tree, and the raine doeth nourish it.
Sijeèe sebi kedre, i uzima èesvinu i hrast ili što je najèvršæe meðu drvljem šumskim; sadi jasen, i od dažda raste.
15 And man burneth thereof: for he will take thereof and warme himselfe: he also kindleth it and baketh bread, yet he maketh a god, and worshippeth it: he maketh it an idole and boweth vnto it.
I biva èovjeku za oganj, i uzme ga, te se grije; upali ga, te peèe hljeb; i još gradi od njega boga i klanja mu se; gradi od njega lik rezan, i pada na koljena pred njim.
16 He burneth the halfe thereof euen in the fire, and vpon the halfe thereof he eateth flesh: he rosteth the roste and is satisfied: also he warmeth himselfe and sayth, Aha, I am warme, I haue bene at the fire.
Polovinu loži na oganj, uz polovinu jede meso ispekavši peèenje, i biva sit, i grije se i govori: aha, ogrijah se, vidjeh oganj.
17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, euen his idole: he boweth vnto it, and worshippeth and prayeth vnto it, and sayeth, Deliuer me: for thou art my god.
A od ostatka gradi boga, rezan lik svoj, pada pred njim na koljena i klanja se, i moli mu se i govori: izbavi me, jer si ti bog moj.
18 They haue not knowen, nor vnderstand: for God hath shut their eyes that they cannot see, and their heartes, that they cannot vnderstand.
Ne znaju, niti razumiju, jer su im oèi zaslijepljene da ne vide, i srca, da ne razumiju.
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor vnderstanding to say, I haue burnt halfe of it, euen in the fire, and haue baked bread also vpon the coles thereof: I haue rosted flesh, and eaten it, and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I bowe to the stocke of a tree?
Niti uzimaju na um, nema znanja ni razuma da bi koji rekao: polovinu ovoga spalih na oganj, i na uglju od njega ispekoh hljeb, ispekoh meso i jedoh; i od ostatka eda li æu naèiniti gad, i panju drvenom hoæu li se klanjati?
20 He feedeth of ashes: a seduced heart hath deceiued him, that he cannot deliuer his soule, nor say, Is there not a lye in my right hand?
Taki se hrani pepelom, prevareno srce zavodi ga da ne može izbaviti duše svoje, niti reæi: nije li laž što mi je u desnici?
21 Remember these (O Iaakob and Israel) for thou art my seruant: I haue formed thee: thou art my seruant: O Israel forget me not.
Pamti to, Jakove i Izrailju, jer si moj sluga; ja sam te sazdao, sluga si moj, Izrailju, neæu te zaboraviti.
22 I haue put away thy transgressions like a cloude, and thy sinnes, as a mist: turne vnto me, for I haue redeemed thee.
Rasuæu kao oblak prijestupe tvoje, i grijehe tvoje kao maglu; vrati se k meni, jer sam te izbavio.
23 Reioyce, ye heauens: for the Lord hath done it: shoute, ye lower partes of the earth: brast foorth into prayses, ye mountaines, O forest and euery tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Iaakob and will be glorified in Israel.
Pjevajte, nebesa, jer Gospod uèini, podvikujte, nizine zemaljske, popijevajte, gore, šume i sva drva u njima, jer izbavi Gospod Jakova i proslavi se u Izrailju.
24 Thus sayeth the Lord thy redeemer and he that formed thee from the wombe, I am the Lord, that made all things, that spred out the heauens alone, and stretched out the earth by my selfe.
Ovako govori Gospod, izbavitelj tvoj, koji te je sazdao od utrobe materine: ja Gospod naèinih sve: razapeh nebo sam, rasprostrijeh zemlju sam sobom;
25 I destroy the tokens of ye southsayers, and make them that coniecture, fooles, and turne the wise men backwarde, and make their knowledge foolishnesse.
Uništujem znake lažljivcima, i vraèe obezumljujem, vraæam natrag mudarce, i pretvaram mudrost njihovu u ludost;
26 He confirmeth the worde of his seruant and performeth the counsell of his messengers, saying to Ierusalem, Thou shalt bee inhabited: and to the cities of Iudah, Yee shall be built vp, and I will repayre the decayed places thereof.
Potvrðujem rijeè sluge svojega, i navršujem savjet glasnika svojih; govorim Jerusalimu: naseliæeš se; i gradovima Judinijem: sazidaæete se; i pustoline njihove podignuæu;
27 He saith to the deepe, Be drye and I will drye vp thy floods.
Govorim dubini: presahni i isušiæu rijeke tvoje;
28 He saith to Cyrus, Thou art my shepheard: and he shall performe all my desire: saying also to Ierusalem, Thou shalt be built: and to the Temple, Thy foundation shall be surely layed.
Govorim Kiru: pastir si moj; i izvršiæe svu volju moju, i kazaæe Jerusalimu: sazidaæeš se; i crkvi: osnovaæeš se.
