Isaiah 48
1 Hear all of you this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Čujte ovo, kućo Jakovljeva, vi koji se zovete imenom Izraelovim i koji ste izišli iz voda Judinih! Vi koji se Jahvinim imenom kunete i slavite Boga Izraelova, ali ne u istini i pravdi.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
Jer vi se nazivate po Svetome gradu i oslanjate se na Boga Izraelova, Jahve nad Vojskama njemu je ime.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
Dogođaje prošle odavna sam navijestio, iz mojih su izišli usta i ja sam ih objavio, učinih brzo, i zbi se.
4 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
Jer znao sam da si tvrdokoran, da ti je šija žila gvozdena i čelo da ti je mjedeno.
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to you; before it came to pass I showed it you: lest you should say, Mine idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
Zato sam ti već onda navijestio, javio ti prije nego što se zbilo, da ne bi rekao: “Moj kip učini to, rezani moj lik i ljeveni kip zapovjediše tako!”
6 You have heard, see all this; and will not all of you declare it? I have showed you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.
Čuo si i vidio sve to; zar ne priznaješ? A sada navijestit ću ti nešto novo, otajno, što još ne znaš;
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when you heard them not; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
ovog je trena stvoreno, a ne odavna, o tome dosad nisi ništa čuo, da ne bi rekao: “Znao sam.”
8 Yea, you heard not; yea, you knew not; yea, from that time that your ear was not opened: for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
Nisi o tome čuo ni znao, niti se uho tvoje prije otvorilo, jer znadoh da ćeš se iznevjeriti i da te od utrobe majčine zovu otpadnikom.
9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I cut you not off.
Radi imena svoga odgađah svoj gnjev, radi časti svoje susprezah se da te ne uništim.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
Gle, pročistio sam te poput srebra, iskušao te u talioniku nevolje.
11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
Sebe radi činih tako, sebe radi! TÓa zar da se ime moje obeščasti? Slave svoje drugome ne dam!
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Čuj me, Jakove, Izraele, koga sam pozvao: Ja jesam, ja sam prvi, ja sam i posljednji.
13 Mine hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
Ruka moja zemlju utemelji, desnica mi razape nebesa. Pozovem ih samo, i odmah dolaze.
14 All you, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them has declared these things? The LORD has loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
Saberite se svi i čujte: tko je od njih to prorekao? “Onaj koga Jahve ljubi ispunit će volju moju nad Babilonom i nad potomstvom kaldejskim.”
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Ja rekoh i pozvah ga, vodih ga i pomogoh u naumu.
16 Come all of you near unto me, hear all of you this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, has sent me.
Pristupite k meni i počujte ovo: “Od početka nisam vam govorio tajno, i kad se zbivalo, bijah ondje.” - “A sada me Gospod Jahve šalje s duhom svojim.”
17 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD your God which teaches you to profit, which leads you by the way that you should go.
Ovako govori Jahve, otkupitelj tvoj, Svetac Izraelov: “Ja, Jahve, Bog tvoj, tvojem dobru te učim, vodim te putem kojim ti je ići.
18 O that you had hearkened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
O, da si pazio na zapovijedi moje, kao rijeka sreća bi tvoja bila, a pravda tvoja kao morski valovi!
19 Your seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of your bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Potomstva bi tvojeg bilo kao pijeska, a poroda utrobe tvoje kao njegovih zrnaca! Nikad ti se ime ne bi zatrlo niti izbrisalo preda mnom!”
20 Go all of you out of Babylon, flee all of you from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare all of you, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say all of you, The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob.
Izađite iz Babilona, bježite iz Kaldeje! Glasno kličući, kazujte, objavljujte, do nakraj zemlje razglasite! Govorite: “Jahve je otkupio slugu svoga Jakova!
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 clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Nisu žeđali dok ih je kroz pustinju vodio; iz stijene je za njih vodu izbio, rascijepio je pećinu i potekla je voda.”
22 There is no peace, says the LORD, unto the wicked.
“Nema mira opakima,” kaže Jahve.
