Isaiah 45
1 Thus sayeth the Lord vnto Cyrus his anointed, whose right hand I haue holden to subdue nations before him: therefore will I weaken the loynes of Kings and open the doores before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
Tako govori Gospod svojemu maziljencu Kiru, čigar desnico sem prijel, da bi pred njim podjarmil narode in odpasal bom ledja kraljev, da pred njim odprem dvoje opuščenih velikih vrat in velika vrata ne bodo zaprta:
2 I will goe before thee and make the crooked streight: I will breake the brasen doores, and burst the yron barres.
»Jaz bom šel pred teboj in naredil skrivljene kraje ravne, bronasta velika vrata bom razbil na koščke in železne zapahe presekal na dvoje.
3 And I will giue thee the treasures of darkenesse, and the things hid in secret places, that thou maist know that I am the Lord which call thee by thy name, euen the God of Israel.
Dal ti bom zaklade teme in skrita bogastva skrivnih krajev, da boš lahko vedel, da sem jaz, Gospod, ki te kličem s tvojim imenom, Izraelov Bog.
4 For Iaakob my seruants sake, and Israel mine elect, I will euen call thee by thy name and name thee, though thou hast not knowen me.
Zaradi Jakoba, mojega služabnika in Izraela, mojega izvoljenega, sem te celó poklical po tvojem imenu. Imenoval sem te, čeprav me nisi poznal.
5 I am the Lord and there is none other: there is no God besides me: I girded thee though thou hast not knowen me,
Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni, ni Boga poleg mene. Opasal sem te, čeprav me nisi poznal,
6 That they may knowe from the rising of the sunne and from the West, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none other.
da bi lahko vedeli od sončnega vzhoda in od zahoda, da ni nikogar poleg mene. Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni.
7 I forme the light and create darkenes: I make peace and create euill: I the Lord doe all these things.
Jaz oblikujem svetlobo in ustvarjam temo, sklepam mir in ustvarjam zlo. Jaz, Gospod, delam vse te stvari.
8 Ye heauens, send the dewe from aboue, and let the cloudes droppe downe righteousnesse: let the earth open, and let saluation and iustice growe foorth: let it bring them foorth together: I the Lord haue created him.
Kapljajte, ve nebesa od zgoraj in naj nebo izlije pravičnost. Naj se zemlja odpre in naj rodi rešitev duš in naj skupaj požene pravičnost; jaz, Gospod, sem to ustvaril.
9 Woe be vnto him that striueth with his maker, the potsherd with the potsherds of the earth: shall the clay say to him that facioneth it, What makest thou? or thy worke, It hath none hands?
Gorje tistemu, ki se prepira s svojim Stvarnikom! Naj se črepinja prička s črepinjami zemlje. Mar bo ilo reklo tistemu, ki ga oblikuje: »Kaj delaš?« Ali tvoje delo: »On nima rok?«
10 Woe vnto him that sayeth to his father, What hast thou begotten? or to his mother, What hast thou brought foorth?
Gorje tistemu, ki pravi svojemu očetu: »Čemu si zaplodil?« Ali ženski: »Kaj si rodila?«
11 Thus saith the Lord, the holy one of Israel, and his maker, Aske me of things to come concerning my sonnes, and concerning the workes of mine hands: commande you me.
Tako govori Gospod, Sveti Izraelov in njegov Stvarnik: »Vprašajte me o stvareh, ki pridejo, glede mojih sinov in glede dela mojih rok mi zapovejte.
12 I haue made the earth, and created man vpon it: I, whose hands haue spred out the heauens, I haue euen commanded all their armie.
Naredil sem zemljo in na njej ustvaril človeka. Jaz, celó moje roke so razprostrle nebo in zapovedal sem vsej njegovi vojski.
13 I haue raised him vp in righteousnesse, and I will direct all his wayes: he shall build my citie, and he shall let goe my captiues, not for price nor rewarde, saith the Lord of hostes.
Dvignil sem ga v pravičnosti in jaz bom usmerjal vse njegove poti. Zgradil bo moje mesto in izpustil bo moje ujetnike, ne za ceno niti [ne za] nagrado, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
14 Thus sayth the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and the marchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature shall come vnto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall follow thee, and shall goe in chaines: they shall fall downe before thee, and make supplication vnto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee, and there is none other God besides.
Tako govori Gospod: »Trud Egipta in trgovanje Etiopije in Sabejcev, postavnih mož, bo prišlo k tebi in oni bodo tvoji. Prišli bodo za teboj, v verigah bodo prišli in padli dol k tebi, ponižno te bodo prosili, rekoč: ›Zagotovo je Bog v tebi in tam ni nikogar drugega, tam ni Boga.‹
15 Verely thou, O God, hidest thy selfe, O God, the Sauiour of Israel.
Resnično, ti si Bog, ki samega sebe skrivaš, oh Izraelov Bog, Odrešenik.
16 All they shalbe ashamed and also confounded: they shall goe to confusion together, that are the makers of images.
Osramočeni bodo in tudi zbegani, vsi izmed njih. Skupaj bodo šli v zmešnjavo, ki so izdelovalci malikov.
17 But Israel shall be saued in the Lord, with an euerlasting saluation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded worlde without ende.
Toda Izrael bo rešen v Gospodu z večno rešitvijo duš. Ne boste osramočeni niti zbegani, od veka do veka.
18 For thus saith the Lord (that created heauen, God himselfe, that formed the earth, and made it: he that prepared it, he created it not in vaine: he formed it to be inhabited) I am the Lord, and there is none other.
Kajti tako govori Gospod, ki je ustvaril nebo; sam Bog, ki je oblikoval zemljo in jo naredil, osnoval jo je, ni je ustvaril zaman, oblikoval jo je, da bi bila naseljena. Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni.
19 I haue not spoken in secrete, neither in a place of darkenes in the earth: I saide not in vaine vnto the seede of Iaakob, Seeke you me: I the Lord doe speake righteousnesse, and declare righteous things.
Nisem govoril na skrivnem, na temnem kraju zemlje. Jakobovemu semenu nisem rekel: ›Zaman me iščite.‹ Jaz, Gospod, govorim pravičnost, razglašam stvari, ki so pravilne.
20 Assemble your selues, and come: drawe neere together, ye abiect of the Gentiles: they haue no knowledge, that set vp the wood of their idole, and pray vnto a god, that cannot saue them.
Zberite se in pridite, približajte se skupaj, vi, ki ste pobegnili narodom. Nimajo spoznanja, ki postavljajo les svojih rezanih podob in molijo k bogu, ki ne more rešiti.
21 Tell ye and bring them, and let them take counsell together, who hath declared this from the beginning? or hath tolde it of olde? Haue not I the Lord? and there is none other God beside me, a iust God, and a Sauiour: there is none beside me.
Povejte in privedite jih blizu; da, naj se skupaj posvetujejo. Kdo je to razglasil od starodavnega časa? Kdo je to povedal od tistega časa? Mar nisem jaz, Gospod? In nobenega drugega Boga ni poleg mene, pravičnega Boga in Odrešenika, nobenega ni poleg mene.
22 Looke vnto me, and ye shall be saued: all the endes of the earth shall be saued: for I am God, and there is none other.
Poglejte k meni in bodite rešeni, vsi konci zemlje, kajti jaz sem Bog in nobenega drugega ni.
23 I haue sworne by my selfe: the worde is gone out of my mouth in righteousnesse, and shall not returne, That euery knee shall bowe vnto me, and euery tongue shall sweare by me.
Prisegel sem sam pri sebi, beseda je izšla iz mojih ust v pravičnosti in se ne bo vrnila: ›Da se bo k meni priklonilo vsako koleno, vsak jezik bo prisegel.‹
24 Surely he shall say, In the Lord haue I righteousnesse and strength: he shall come vnto him, and all that prouoke him, shall be ashamed.
Zagotovo bo nekdo rekel: ›V Gospodu imam pravičnost in moč.‹ Celó k njemu bodo prišli ljudje in vsi tisti, ki so ogorčeni zoper njega, bodo osramočeni.
25 The whole seede of Israel shall be iustified, and glorie in the Lord.
V Gospodu bo vse seme Izraela opravičeno in bo slavilo.
