Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the fountain of Judah; who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Poslušajte to, oh hiša Jakobova, ki ste imenovani z imenom Izrael in ste izšli iz Judovih vodá, ki prisegate pri Gospodovem imenu in omenjate Izraelovega Boga, vendar ne v resnici niti ne v pravičnosti.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel, the LORD of hosts is His name.
Kajti imenujejo se po svetem mestu in se naslanjajo na Izraelovega Boga; Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
3 I have declared the former things from of old; yea, they went forth out of My mouth, and I announced them; suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
Razglasil sem prejšnje stvari od začetka in izšle so iz mojih ust in pokazal sem jih; nenadoma sem jih naredil in zgodile so se.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
Ker sem vedel, da si trdovratna in je tvoj vrat železna kita in tvoja obrv bron,
5 Therefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I announced it to thee; lest thou shouldest say: 'Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.'
sem ti to celo od začetka razglasil; preden se je zgodilo, sem ti to pokazal, da ne bi rekla: ›Moj malik jih je naredil, moja rezana podoba in moja ulita podoba jim je zapovedala.‹
6 Thou hast heard, see, all this; and ye, will ye not declare it? I have announced unto thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not known.
Slišal si, videl si vse to in ali ne boš tega razglasil? Od tega časa sem ti pokazal nove stvari, celo skrite stvari in ti jih nisi poznal.
7 They are created now, and not from of old, and before this day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say: 'Behold, I knew them.'
Sedaj so ustvarjene in ne od začetka; celo pred dnevom, ko jih nisi slišal, da ne bi rekel: »Glej, poznal sem jih.«
8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from of old thine ear was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
Da, ne slišiš; da, ne poznaš; da, od tistega časa, ko tvoje uho ni bilo odprto, kajti vedel sem, da boš postopal zelo zahrbtno in si bil od maternice imenovan prestopnik.
9 For My name's sake will I defer Mine anger, and for My praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
Zaradi svojega imena bom odložil svojo jezo in zaradi svoje hvale se bom zadržal, da te ne odsekam.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have tried thee in the furnace of affliction.
Glej, prečistil sem te, toda ne s srebrom; izbral sem te v talilni peči stiske.
11 For Mine own sake, for Mine own sake, will I do it; for how should it be profaned? And My glory will I not give to another.
Zaradi sebe, celó zaradi sebe, bom to storil, kajti kako bi bilo moje ime umazano? In svoje slave ne bom dal drugemu.
12 Hearken unto Me, O Jacob, and Israel My called: I am He; I am the first, I also am the last.
Prisluhni mi, oh Jakob in Izrael, moj poklicani; jaz sem; jaz sem prvi, jaz sem tudi zadnji.
13 Yea, My hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand hath spread out the heavens; when I call unto them, they stand up together.
Moja roka je tudi položila temelj zemlji in moja desnica je razpela nebo. Ko kličem k njima, skupaj vstaneta.
14 Assemble yourselves, all ye, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? He whom the LORD loveth shall perform His pleasure on Babylon, and show His arm on the Chaldeans.
Vsi vi, zberite se in poslušajte; kdo izmed njih je razglasil te stvari? Gospod ga je ljubil. Storil bo, kar mu ugaja nad Babilonom in njegov laket bo na Kaldejcih.
15 I, even I, have spoken, yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Jaz, celó jaz, sem govoril. Da, poklical sem ga. Privedel sem ga in svojo pot bo naredil uspešno.
16 Come ye near unto Me, hear ye this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord GOD hath sent me, and His spirit.
Pridite blizu k meni, poslušajte to; od začetka nisem govoril na skrivnem; od časa, ko je to bilo, tam jaz sem. In sedaj me je poslal Gospod Bog in njegov Duh.«
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD thy God, who teacheth thee for thy profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
Tako govori Gospod, tvoj Odkupitelj, Sveti Izraelov: »Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki te učim, da boš imel koristi, ki te vodim po poti, po kateri naj bi šel.
18 Oh that thou wouldest hearken to My commandments! then would thy peace be as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea;
Oh, da bi prisluhnil mojim zapovedim! Potem bi bil tvoj mir kakor reka in tvoja pravičnost kakor morski valovi.
19 Thy seed also would be as the sand, and the offspring of thy body like the grains thereof; his name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before Me.
Tudi tvojega semena bi bilo kakor peska in potomstvo tvoje notranjosti podobno njegovemu gramozu; njegovo ime ne bi bilo odrezano niti uničeno izpred mene.
20 Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye: 'The LORD hath redeemed His servant Jacob.
Pojdite naprej iz Babilona, pobegnite od Kaldejcev, z glasom petja razglasite, povejte to, izustite to celó do konca zemlje. Recite: › Gospod je odkupil svojega služabnika Jakoba.‹
21 And they thirsted not when He led them through the deserts; He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; He cleaved the rock also, and the waters gushed out.'
Niso bili žejni, ko jih je vodil skozi puščave. Zanje je vodam veleval, da tečejo iz skale. Razklal je tudi skalo in iz nje so pridrle vode.
22 There is no peace, saith the LORD concerning the wicked.
Tam ni miru, « govori Gospod, »zlobnemu.«
