Esias 45
1 Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
Ovako govori Gospod pomazaniku svojemu Kiru, kojega držim za desnicu, da oborim pred njim narode i careve raspašem, da se otvoraju vrata pred njim i da ne budu vrata zatvorena:
2 I will go before you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
Ja æu iæi pred tobom, i putove neravne poravniæu, vrata mjedena razbiæu i prijevornice gvozdene slomiæu.
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness, I will open to you hidden, unseen [treasures], that you may know that I, the Lord your God, that call you by name, am the God of Israel.
I daæu ti blago tajno i bogatstvo sakriveno, da poznaš da sam ja Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji te zovem po imenu.
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call you by your name, and accept you: but you have not known me.
Radi sluge svojega Jakova i Izrailja izbranika svojega prozvah te imenom tvojim i prezimenom, premda me ne znaš.
5 For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have not known me.
Ja sam Gospod, i nema drugoga, osim mene nema boga; opasah te, premda me ne znaš,
6 That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
Da bi poznali od istoka sunèanoga i od zapada da nema drugoga osim mene; ja sam Gospod i nema drugoga,
7 I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
Koji pravim svjetlost i stvaram mrak, gradim mir i stvaram zlo; ja Gospod èinim sve to.
8 Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created you.
Rosite, nebesa, ozgo, i oblaci neka kaplju pravdom, neka se otvori zemlja i neka rodi spasenjem i zajedno neka uzraste pravda; ja Gospod stvorih to.
9 What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the plowman plow the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
Teško onom ko se svaða s tvorcem svojim; crijep s drugim crepovima neka se svaða; ali hoæe li kao reæi lonèaru svojemu: šta radiš? za tvoj posao nema ruku.
10 As though one should say to [his] father, What will you beget me? and to his mother, What are you bringing forth?
Teško onom ko govori ocu: što raðaš? i ženi: što se poraðaš?
11 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
Ovako veli Gospod svetac Izrailjev i tvorac njegov: pitajte me što æe biti; za sinove moje i za djelo ruku mojih nareðujte mi.
12 I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
Ja sam naèinio zemlju i èovjeka na njoj stvorio, ja sam razapeo nebesa svojim rukama, i svoj vojsci njihovoj dao zapovijest.
13 I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord of hosts.
Ja ga podigoh u pravdi, i sve putove njegove poravniæu; on æe sazidati moj grad i roblje moje otpustiæe, ne za novce ni za darove, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
14 Thus says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for you]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall do obeisance to you, and make supplication to you: because God is in you; and there is no God beside you, [O Lord].
Ovako veli Gospod: trud Misirski i trgovina Etiopska i Savaca ljudi visoka rasta doæi æe k tebi i biti tvoja; za tobom æe pristati, u okovima æe iæi, i tebi æe se klanjati, tebi æe se moliti govoreæi: doista, Bog je u tebi, i nema drugoga Boga.
15 For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
Da, ti si Bog, koji se kriješ, Bog Izrailjev, spasitelj.
16 All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: you isles, keep a feast to me.
Oni æe se svi postidjeti i posramiti, otiæi æe sa sramotom svikoliki koji grade likove.
17 Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
A Izrailja æe spasti Gospod spasenjem vjeènijem, neæete se postidjeti niti æete se osramotiti dovijeka.
18 Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
Jer ovako veli Gospod, koji je stvorio nebo, Bog, koji je sazdao zemlju i naèinio je i utvrdio, i nije je stvorio naprazno, nego je naèinio da se na njoj nastava: ja sam Gospod, i nema drugoga.
19 I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
Nijesam govorio tajno ni na mraènu mjestu na zemlji, nijesam rekao sjemenu Jakovljevu: tražite me uzalud. Ja Gospod govorim pravdu, javljam što je pravo.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, you that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
Skupite se i doðite, pristupite svi koji ste se izbavili izmeðu naroda. Ništa ne znaju koji nose drvo od svojega lika i mole se bogu koji ne može pomoæi.
21 If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
Oglasite, i dovedite, neka vijeæaju zajedno: ko je to od starine kazao? ko je javio još onda? Nijesam li ja, Gospod? Nema osim mene drugoga Boga, nema Boga pravednoga i spasitelja drugoga osim mene.
22 Turn you to me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
Pogledajte u mene, i spašæete se svi krajevi zemaljski; jer sam ja Bog, i nema drugoga.
23 By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
Sobom se zakleh; izide iz usta mojih rijeè pravedna, i neæe se poreæi, da æe mi se pokloniti svako koljeno, i zaklinjati se svaki jezik,
24 saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
I govoriæe: u Gospodu je pravda i sila; k njemu æe doæi; ali æe se posramiti svi koji se gnjeve na nj.
25 By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
U Gospodu æe se opravdati i proslaviti sve sjeme Izrailjevo.
