Isaiah 42
1 Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom My soul delighteth; I have put My spirit upon him, he shall make the right to go forth to the nations.
Glej, moj služabnik, ki ga podpiram; moj izvoljeni, v katerem se moja duša razveseljuje; svojega duha sem položil nanj. Oznanil bo sodbo poganom.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
Ne bo vpil, niti povzdignil [glasu], niti svojemu glasu ne bo povzročil, da bi bil slišan na ulici.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the dimly burning wick shall he not quench; he shall make the right to go forth according to the truth.
Poškodovanega trsta ne bo zlomil in kadečega stenja ne bo ugasnil. Sodbo bo privedel k resnici.
4 He shall not fail nor be crushed, till he have set the right in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his teaching.
Ne bo opešal niti ne bo izgubil poguma, dokler ne postavi sodbe na zemlji in otoki bodo čakali na njegovo postavo.
5 Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them forth, He that spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it, He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Tako govori Gospod Bog, ki je ustvaril nebesa in jih razpel; ki je razprostrl zemljo in to, kar prihaja iz nje; on, ki daje dih ljudstvu na njej in duha tem, ki hodijo po njej:
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and have taken hold of thy hand, and kept thee, and set thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;
»Jaz, Gospod, sem te poklical v pravičnosti in držal bom tvojo roko in te varoval in dam te za zavezo ljudstvu, za svetlobo poganom,
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
da odpreš slepe oči, da privedeš jetnike iz ječe in te, ki sedijo v temi, ven iz jetnišnice.
8 I am the LORD, that is My name; and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.
Jaz sem Gospod. To je moje ime in svoje slave ne bom dal drugemu niti svoje hvale rezanim podobam.
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Glej, prejšnje stvari so se zgodile in razglašam nove stvari. Preden vzbrstijo ti povem o njih.«
10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Zapojte Gospodu novo pesem in njegovo hvalo s konca zemlje, vi, ki greste dol do morja in vse, kar je v njem, otoki in njegovi prebivalci.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela exult, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Naj divjina in njena mesta dvignejo svoj glas, vasi, ki jih naseljuje Kedár. Naj skalni prebivalci pojejo, naj zavpijejo z vrhov gora.
12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare His praise in the islands.
Naj dajo slavo Gospodu in razglašajo njegovo hvalo na otokih.
13 The LORD will go forth as a mighty man, He will stir up jealousy like a man of war; He will cry, yea, He will shout aloud, He will prove Himself mighty against His enemies.
Gospod bo šel naprej kakor mogočen mož, ljubosumnost bo razvnel kakor bojevnik. Vpil bo, da, rjovel, prevladal bo zoper svoje sovražnike.
14 I have long time held My peace, I have been still, and refrained Myself; now will I cry like a travailing woman, gasping and panting at once.
»Dolgo časa sem zadrževal svoj mir, bil sem tiho in se zadrževal. Sedaj [pa] bom vpil kakor ženska v porodnih mukah; hkrati bom uničil in požrl.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
Opustošil bom gore in hribe in posušil vsa njihova zelišča in reke bom naredil otoke in posušil bom ribnike.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, in paths that they knew not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and rugged places plain. These things will I do, and I will not leave them undone.
Privedel bom slepe po poti, ki je niso poznali, vodil jih bom po stezah, ki jih niso poznali. Temo pred njimi bom naredil svetlobo in skrivljene stvari ravne. Te stvari jim bom storil in ne bom jih zapustil.
17 They shall be turned back, greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images: 'Ye are our gods.'
Obrnjeni bodo nazaj, silno bodo osramočeni tisti, ki zaupajo v rezane podobe, ki ulitim podobam pravijo: ›Vi ste naši bogovi.‹
18 Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
Poslušajte, vi gluhi, in glejte, vi slepi, da boste lahko videli.
19 Who is blind, but My servant? Or deaf, as My messenger that I send? Who is blind as he that is wholehearted, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
Kdo je slep, razen mojega služabnika? Ali gluh kakor moj poslanec, ki sem ga poslal? Kdo je slep, kakor kdor je popoln in slep kakor Gospodov služabnik?
20 Seeing many things, thou observest not; opening the ears, he heareth not.
Gleda mnoge stvari, toda ti jih ne obeležuješ; odpira ušesa, toda on ne sliši.
21 The LORD was pleased, for His righteousness' sake, to make the teaching great and glorious.
Gospod je zelo zadovoljen zaradi svoje pravičnosti; poveličeval bo postavo in jo naredil častitljivo.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled, they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses; they are for a prey, and none delivereth, for a spoil, and none saith: 'Restore.'
Toda to je ljudstvo, oropano in oplenjeno; vsi izmed njih so ujeti v luknje in skriti v jetnišnicah. Za plen so in nihče ne osvobaja; za ukradeno blago in nihče ne reče: ›Povrni.‹
23 Who among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
Kdo izmed vas bo temu pazljivo prisluhnil? Kdo bo prisluhnil in slišal za čas, ki pride?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD? He against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto His law.
Kdo je Jakoba izročil v plen in Izraela roparjem? Mar ne Gospod, on, zoper katerega smo grešili? Kajti niso želeli hoditi po njegovih poteh niti niso bili poslušni njegovi postavi.
25 Therefore He poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not, and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
Zato je nanj izlil razjarjenost svoje jeze in moč bitke. To ga je vžgalo vsenaokoli, vendar ni vedel. To ga je žgalo, vendar si tega ni vzel k srcu.«
