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, oh otoki in prisluhnite, ve ljudstva od daleč. Gospod me je poklical iz maternice, od notranjosti moje matere je naredil omembo mojega imena.
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,
Moja usta je naredil kakor oster meč; v senco svoje roke me je skril in me naredil zglajeno puščico; v svojem tulu me je skril
3 And sayd vnto me, Thou art my seruaunt, Israel, for I will be glorious in thee.
in mi rekel: »Ti si moj služabnik, oh Izrael, v katerem bom proslavljen.«
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.
Potem sem rekel: »V prazno sem se trudil, svojo moč sem porabil zaman in v prazno. Vendar je zagotovo moja sodba z Gospodom in moje delo z mojim Bogom.«
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)
»In sedaj, « govori Gospod, ki me je oblikoval od maternice, da bi bil njegov služabnik, da Jakoba ponovno privedem k njemu: »Čeprav Izrael ne bi bil zbran, bom vendar veličasten v Gospodovih očeh in moj Bog bo moja moč.«
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.
Rekel je: »To je lahka stvar, da bi bil moj služabnik, da vzdigneš Jakobove rodove in da obnoviš Izraelove ohranjene. Prav tako te bom dal za svetlobo poganom, da boš lahko moja rešitev duš do konca zemlje.
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.
Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Odkupitelj in njegov Sveti tistemu, ki ga človek prezira, tistemu, ki ga narod zaničuje, služabniku vladarjev: ›Kralji bodo videli in vstali, tudi princi bodo oboževali zaradi Gospoda, ki je zvest in Svetega Izraelovega in on bo izbral tebe.‹«
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:
Tako govori Gospod: »Ob sprejemljivem času sem te uslišal in na dan rešitve duše sem ti pomagal in ohranil te bom in te dal za zavezo ljudstvu, da povzdigneš deželo, da povzročiš, da podedujejo zapuščene dediščine,
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 boš lahko ujetnikom rekel: ›Pojdite naprej; ‹ tistim, ki so v temi: ›Pokažite se.‹ Pasli bodo po poteh in njihovi pašniki bodo na vseh visokih krajih.
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.
Ne bodo niti lačni niti žejni, niti jih ne bosta udarila, niti vročina, niti sonce, kajti on, ki ima usmiljenje do njih, jih bo vodil, celo pri vodnih izvirih jih bo usmerjal.
11 And I will make all my mountaines, as a way, and my paths shalbe exalted.
Vse svoje gore bom naredil pot in moje glavne ceste bodo povišane.
12 Beholde, these shall come from farre: and loe, these from the North and from the West, and these from the land of Sinim.
Glej, ti bodo prišli od daleč in glej, ti od severa in od zahoda in ti iz dežele Siním.«
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.
Prepevaj, oh nebo in bodi radostna, oh zemlja in izbruhnite v petje, oh gore. Kajti Gospod je potolažil svoje ljudstvo in usmiljen bo do svojih trpečih.
14 But Zion saide, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
Toda Sion je rekel: » Gospod me je zapustil in moj Gospod me je pozabil.«
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.
Mar lahko ženska pozabi svojega doječega otroka, da ne bi imela sočutja do sina svoje maternice? Da, one lahko pozabijo, vendar jaz ne bom pozabil tebe.
16 Behold, I haue grauen thee vpon the palme of mine hands: thy walles are euer in my sight.
Glej, vrezal sem te na dlani svojih rok, tvoja obzidja so nenehno pred menoj.
17 Thy builders make haste: thy destroiers and they that made thee waste, are departed from thee.
Tvoji otroci se bodo podvizali, tvoji uničevalci in tisti, ki so te naredili opustošeno, bodo šli 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.
Dvigni svoje oči naokoli in poglej. Vsi ti se zbirajo skupaj in prihajajo k tebi. Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod, ›zanesljivo se boš oblekla z njimi vsemi, kakor z ornamentom in si jih privezala nase, kakor stori nevesta.
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.
Kajti tvoji opustošeni in tvoji zapuščeni kraji in dežela tvojega uničenja bo sedaj torej preozka zaradi prebivalcev in tisti, ki so te pogoltnili, bodo daleč proč.
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.
Otroci, ki jih boš imela, potem ko si izgubila druge, bodo v tvoja ušesa ponovno govorili: ›Kraj je preozek zame. Daj mi prostor, da bom lahko prebival.‹
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?
Potem boš v svojem srcu rekla: ›Kdo mi je te rodil, glede na to, da sem izgubila svoje otroke in sem zapuščena, ujetnica in se selim sem ter tja? In kdo je te vzgojil? Glej, sama sem ostala, kje so bili tile?‹«
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.
Tako govori Gospod Bog: »Glej, svojo roko bom dvignil k poganom in svoj prapor postavil k ljudstvu in tvoje sinove bodo privedli na njihovih rokah in tvoje hčere bodo nošene na njihovih ramah.
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.
Kralji bodo tvoji negovalni očetje in njihove kraljice tvoje negovalne matere. S svojim obrazom se bodo priklonili k tebi proti zemlji in lizali prah tvojih stopal in vedela boš, da jaz sem Gospod, kajti tisti, ki čakajo name, ne bodo osramočeni.
24 Shall the pray be taken from the mightie? or the iust captiuitie deliuered?
Mar bo plen vzet od mogočnega, mar bo pravično ujetništvo osvobojeno?«
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,
Toda tako govori Gospod: »Celo ujetniki mogočnega bodo odvzeti in plen strašnega bo osvobojen, kajti jaz se bom spoprijel s tistim, ki se spoprijema s teboj in jaz bom rešil tvoje otroke.
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.
Z njihovim lastnim mesom bom hranil tiste, ki te zatirajo in pijani bodo s svojo lastno krvjo kakor s sladkim vinom in vse meso bo vedelo, da jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Odrešenik in tvoj Odkupitelj, Mogočni Jakobov.‹«
