Esias 42
1 Jacob is my servant, I will help him: Israel is my chosen, my soul has accepted him; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Evo sluge mojega, kojega podupirem, izbranika mojega, koji je mio duši mojoj; metnuæu duh svoj na njega, sud narodima javljaæe.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up [his voice], nor shall his voice be heard without.
Neæe vikati ni podizati, niti æe se èuti glas njegov po ulicama.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench; but he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
Trske stuèene neæe prelomiti, i svještila koje se puši neæe ugasiti; javljaæe sud po istini.
4 He shall shine out, and shall not be discouraged, until he have set judgment on the earth: and in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Neæe mu dosaditi, niti æe se umoriti, dokle ne postavi sud na zemlji, i ostrva æe èekati nauku njegovu.
5 Thus says the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:
Ovako govori Bog Gospod, koji je stvorio nebesa i razapeo ih, koji je rasprostro zemlju i što ona raða, koji daje disanje narodu što je na njoj i duh onima što hode po njoj:
6 I the Lord God have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will strengthen you: and I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles:
Ja Gospod dozvah te u pravdi, i držaæu te za ruku, i èuvaæu te, i uèiniæu te da budeš zavjet narodu, vidjelo narodima;
7 to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.
Da otvoriš oèi slijepcima, da izvedeš sužnje iz zatvora i iz tamnice koji sjede u tami.
8 I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.
Ja sam Gospod, to je ime moje, i slave svoje neæu dati drugome ni hvale svoje likovima rezanijem.
9 Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and [so will] the new things which I tell you: yes, before I tell [them] they are made known to you.
Evo, preðašnje doðe, i ja javljam novo, prije nego nastane kazujem vam.
10 Sing a new hymn to the Lord: you [who are] his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.
Pjevajte Gospodu pjesmu novu, hvalu njegovu od kraja zemlje, koji se plavite po moru i sve što je u njemu, ostrva i koji živite na njima.
11 Rejoice, you wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.
Pustinja i gradovi njezini, sela gdje stanuje Kidar, neka podignu glas, neka pjevaju koji žive po stijenama, neka klikuju savrh gora.
12 They shall give glory to God, [and] shall proclaim his praises in the islands.
Neka daju slavu Gospodu, i hvalu njegovu neka javljaju po ostrvima.
13 The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy, and shall shout mightily against his enemies.
Gospod æe izaæi kao junak, podignuæe revnost svoju kao vojnik, vikaæe i klikovati, nadvladaæe neprijatelje svoje.
14 I have been silent: shall I also always be silent and forbear: I have endured like a travailing [woman]: I will [now] amaze and wither at once.
Muèah dugo, èinjah se gluh, ustezah se; ali æu sada vikati kao žena kad se poraða, i sve æu potrti i istrijebiti.
15 I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.
Opustiæu gore i bregove, i svaku travu na njima osušiæu, i od rijeka æu naèiniti ostrva, i jezera æu isušiti.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.
I vodiæu slijepce putem kojega nijesu znali; vodiæu ih stazama kojih nijesu znali; obratiæu pred njima mrak u svjetlost i što je neravno u ravno. To æu im uèiniti, i neæu ih ostaviti.
17 But they are turned back: be you utterly ashamed that trust in graven [images], who say to the molten [images], You are our gods.
Tada æe se vratiti natrag i posramiti se koji se uzdaju u lik rezani, koji govore likovima livenijem: vi ste naši bogovi.
18 Hear, you deaf, and look up, you blind, to see.
Èujte, gluhi; progledajte, slijepi, da vidite.
19 And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yes, the servants of God have been made blind.
Ko je slijep osim sluge mojega? i ko je gluh kao poslanik moj kojega šaljem? ko je slijep kao savršeni? ko je slijep kao sluga Gospodnji?
20 You have often seen, and have not taken heed; [your] ears have been opened, and you have not heard.
Gledaš mnogo, ali ne vidiš; otvorene su ti uši, ali ne èuješ.
21 The Lord God has taken counsel that he might be justified, and might magnify [his] praise.
Gospodu bijaše mio radi pravde njegove, uèini zakon velikim i slavnim.
22 And I saw, and the people were spoiled and plundered: for [there is] a snare in the secret chambers everywhere, and in the houses also, where they have hidden them: they became a spoil, and there was no one that delivered the prey, and there was none who said, Restore.
A narod je oplijenjen i potlaèen, svi su koliki povezani u peæinama i sakriveni u tamnicama; postaše plijen, a nema nikoga da bi izbavio; postaše grabež, a nema nikoga da bi rekao: vrati.
23 Who [is there] among you that will give ear to these things? listen you to the things which are coming to pass.
Ko izmeðu vas èuje ovo i pazi i sluša za poslije?
24 For what did he give to Jacob up to spoil, and Israel to them that plundered him? Did not God [do it] against whom they sinned? [and] they would not walk in his ways, nor listen to his law.
Ko je dao Jakova da se potlaèi i Izrailja otimaèima? Nije li Gospod, kojemu zgriješismo? Jer ne htješe hoditi putovima njegovijem niti slušaše zakona njegova.
25 So he brought upon them the fury of his wrath; and the war, and those that burnt round about them, prevailed against them; yet no one of them knew [it], neither did they lay [it] to heart.
Zato izli na njih žestoku jarost svoju i silan rat, i zapali ga unaokolo, ali on ne razumje; zapali ga, ali on ne mari.
