Isaiah 49

1 Hear yee me, O yles, and hearken, yee people from farre. The Lord hath called me from the wombe, and made mention of my name from my mothers bellie.

Poslušajte me, ostrva, i pazite, narodi daljni. Gospod me pozva od utrobe; od utrobe matere moje pomenu ime moje.

2 And hee hath made my mouth like a sharpe sworde: vnder the shadowe of his hande hath he hid mee, and made me a chosen shafte, and hid me in his quiuer,

I uèinio je usta moja da su kao oštar maè, u sjenu ruke svoje sakri me; uèinio me je sjajnom strijelom, i u tulu svojem sakri me.

3 And sayd vnto me, Thou art my seruaunt, Israel, for I will be glorious in thee.

I reèe mi: ti si sluga moj, u Izrailju æu se tobom proslaviti.

4 And I said, I haue labored in vaine: I haue spent my strength in vaine and for nothing: but my iudgement is with the Lord, and my woorke with my God.

A ja rekoh: uzalud se trudih, uzalud i naprazno potroših silu svoju; ali opet sud je moj u Gospoda i posao moj u Boga mojega.

5 And now sayeth the Lord, that formed me from the wombe to be his seruaunt, that I may bring Iaakob againe to him (though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I bee glorious in the eyes of the Lord: and my God shall be my strength)

A sada govori Gospod, koji me je sazdao od utrobe materine da sam mu sluga, da mu dovedem natrag Jakova; ako se Izrailj i ne sabere, opet æu se proslaviti pred Gospodom, i Bog æe moj biti sila moja.

6 And hee sayde, It is a small thing that thou shouldest be my seruaunt, to raise vp the tribes of Iaakob, and to restore the desolations of Israel: I will also giue thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou maiest bee my saluation vnto the ende of the worlde.

I reèe mi: malo je da mi budeš sluga da se podigne pleme Jakovljevo i da se vrati ostatak Izrailjev, nego te uèinih vidjelom narodima da budeš moje spasenje do krajeva zemaljskih.

7 Thus sayeth the Lord the redeemer of Israel, and his Holie one, to him that is despised in soule, to a nation that is abhorred, to a seruaunt of rulers, Kinges shall see, and arise, and princes shall worship, because of the Lord, that is faithfull: and ye Holy one of Israel, which hath chosen thee.

Ovako veli Gospod, izbavitelj Izrailjev, svetac njegov, onome kojega preziru, na koga se gadi narod, sluzi onijeh koji gospodare: carevi æe vidjeti i ustati, i knezovi æe se pokloniti radi Gospoda, koji je vjeran, radi sveca Izrailjeva, koji te je izabrao.

8 Thus sayeth the Lord, In an acceptable time haue I heard thee, and in a day of saluation haue I helped thee: and I will preserue thee, and wil giue thee for a couenant of ye people, that thou maiest raise vp the earth, and obtaine the inheritance of the desolate heritages:

Ovako veli Gospod: u vrijeme milosno usliših te, i u dan spasenja pomogoh ti; i èuvaæu te i daæu te da budeš zavjet narodu da utvrdiš zemlju i naslijediš opustjelo našljedstvo;

9 That thou maiest say to the prisoners, Goe foorth: and to them that are in darkenesse, Shewe your selues: they shall feede in the waies, and their pastures shall bee in all the toppes of the hilles.

Da kažeš sužnjima: izidite; onima koji su u mraku: pokažite se. Oni æe pokraj putova pasti, i paša æe im biti po svijem visokim mjestima.

10 They shall not be hungrie, neither shall they be thirstie, neither shall the heat smite them, nor the sunne: for he that hath compassion on them, shall leade them: euen to the springs of waters shall he driue them.

Neæe biti gladni ni žedni, neæe ih biti vruæina ni sunce; jer kome ih je žao, on æe ih voditi, i pokraj izvora vodenijeh provodiæe ih.

11 And I will make all my mountaines, as a way, and my paths shalbe exalted.

I sve gore svoje obratiæu u putove, i staze æe moje biti povišene.

12 Beholde, these shall come from farre: and loe, these from the North and from the West, and these from the land of Sinim.

Gle, ovi æe iz daleka doæi, gle, i oni od sjevera i od zapada, i oni iz zemlje Sinske.

13 Reioyce, O heauens: and bee ioyfull, O earth: brast foorth into praise, O mountaines: for God hath comforted his people, and will haue mercie vpon his afflicted.

Pjevajte, nebesa, i veseli se, zemljo, podvikujte, gore, veselo; jer Gospod utješi svoj narod, i na nevoljnike svoje smilova se.

14 But Zion saide, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

Ali Sion reèe: ostavi me Gospod, i zaboravi me Gospod.

15 Can a woman forget her childe, and not haue compassion on the sonne of her wombe? though they should forget, yet wil I not forget thee.

Može li žena zaboraviti porod svoj da se ne smiluje na èedo utrobe svoje? A da bi ga i zaboravila, ja neæu zaboraviti tebe.

16 Behold, I haue grauen thee vpon the palme of mine hands: thy walles are euer in my sight.

Gle, na dlanovima sam te izrezao; zidovi su tvoji jednako preda mnom.

17 Thy builders make haste: thy destroiers and they that made thee waste, are departed from thee.

Pohitjeæe sinovi tvoji, a koji te raskopavaše i pustošiše, otiæi æe od tebe.

18 Lift vp thine eies round about and behold: all these gather themselues together and come to thee: as I liue, sayeth the Lord, thou shalt surely put them all vpon thee as a garment, and girde thy selfe with them like a bride.

Podigni oèi svoje unaokolo, i vidi: svi se oni skupljaju i idu k tebi. Tako bio ja živ, veli Gospod, svjema njima kao nakitom zaodjenuæeš se, i uresiæeš se njima kao nevjesta.

19 For thy desolations, and thy waste places, and thy land destroied, shall surely be now narow for them that shall dwell in it, and they that did deuoure thee, shalbe farre away.

Jer razvaline tvoje i pustoline i potrvena zemlja tvoja biæe tada tijesna za stanovnike kad se udalje oni koji te proždiraše.

20 The children of thy barennesse shall say againe in thine eares, The place is straict for mee: giue place to me that I may dwell.

I djeca koju æeš imati, pošto si bila bez djece, reæi æe da èuješ: tijesno mi je ovo mjesto, pomakni se da se mogu nastaniti.

21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten mee these, seeing I am baren and desolate, a captiue and a wanderer to and from? and who hath nourished them? beholde, I was left alone: whence are these?

A ti æeš reæi u srcu svom: ko mi ih rodi, jer bijah sirota i inokosna, zarobljena i prognana? i ko ih othrani? eto, ja bijah ostala sama, a gdje oni bijahu?

22 Thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will lift vp mine hande to the Gentiles and set vp my stadart to the people, and they shall bring thy sonnes in their armes: and thy daughters shall be caried vpon their shoulders.

Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo, podignuæu ruku svoju k narodima, i k plemenima æu podignuti zastavu svoju, i donijeæe sinove tvoje u naruèju, i kæeri tvoje na ramenima æe se nositi.

23 And Kings shalbe thy nourcing fathers, and Queenes shalbe thy nources: they shall worship thee with their faces towarde the earth, and licke vp the dust of thy feete: and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that waite for me.

I carevi æe biti hranitelji tvoji i carice njihove tvoje dojkinje, i klanjaæe ti se licem do zemlje, i prah s nogu tvojih lizaæe, i poznaæeš da sam ja Gospod, i da se neæe osramotiti oni koji mene èekaju.

24 Shall the pray be taken from the mightie? or the iust captiuitie deliuered?

Hoæe li se junaku uzeti plijen i hoæe li se oteti roblje pravednomu?

25 But thus sayeth the Lord, euen the captiuitie of the mightie shall be taken away: and the pray of the tyrant shall be deliuered: for I wil contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will saue thy children,

Jer ovako govori Gospod: i roblje junaku uzeæe se i plijen jakomu oteæe se, jer æu se ja preti s onima koji se s tobom pru, i sinove tvoje ja æu izbaviti;

26 And will feede them that spoile thee, with their owne flesh, and they shall be drunken with their owne bloode, as with sweete wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy sauiour and thy redeemer, the mighty one of Iaakob.

I koji ti krivo èine, nahraniæu ih njihovijem mesom i opiæe se svojom krvlju kao novijem vinom; i poznaæe svako tijelo da sam ja Gospod spasitelj tvoj i izbavitelj tvoj, jaki Bog Jakovljev.
