Isaiah 51
1 Hearken to me, ye that pursue righteousness, that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were dug up.
Čujte me, vi koji za pravdom težite, koji Jahvu tražite; pogledajte stijenu iz koje ste isječeni i jamu duboku iz koje ste izvađeni.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for he was one when I called him, and I blessed him, and I increased him.
Pogledajte oca svoga Abrahama i Saru koja vas porodi! Jest, sam bijaše kad sam ga pozvao, al' sam ga blagoslovio i umnožio.”
3 Yea, the Lord hath comforted Zion; he hath comforted all her ruins; and he hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord: gladness and joy shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of song.
Jest, Jahvi se sažalio Sion, sažalile mu se njegove razvaline. Pustaru će njegovu učiniti poput Edena, a stepu poput Vrta Jahvina. Klicanje i radost njim će odjekivat', i zahvalnice i glas hvalospjeva.
4 Listen unto me, my people; and O my nation, give ear unto me; for a law shall proceed from me, and my justice will I establish as a light of the people.
“Pomno me slušaj, puče moj, počujte me, narodi! Jer od mene Zakon dolazi i moje pravo za svjetlo narodima.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation goeth forth, and my arms shall judge the people: on me the isles shall wait, and for my arm shall they hope.
Brzo će stići pravda moja, moje će spasenje doći kao svjetlost. Moja će mišica suditi narodima. Mene očekuju otoci i u moju se mišicu uzdaju.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wear out like a garment, and they that dwell thereon shall die in like manner; but my salvation shall exist for ever, and my righteousness shall not be delayed.
K nebu oči podignite, na zemlju dolje pogledajte. K'o dim će se rasplinut' nebesa, zemlja će se k'o haljina istrošit', kao komarci nestat će joj žitelji. Ali će spasenje moje trajati dovijeka, i pravdi mojoj neće biti kraja.
7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, O people in whose heart my law is: ye must not fear the reproach of men, and of their revilings shall ye not be in dread.
Poslušajte me, vi koji poznajete pravo, narode kojima je moj Zakon u srcu. Ne bojte se poruge ljudske, ne plašite se uvreda!
8 For like a garment shall the moth eat them up, and like wool shall the worm eat them; but my righteousness shall exist for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
Jer moljac će ih razjesti kao haljinu, crv će ih rastočiti kao vunu. Ali će pravda moja trajati dovijeka i spas moj od koljena do koljena.”
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord: awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of olden times. Art thou not it that struck down Rahab, that pierced the crocodile?
Probudi se! Probudi se! Opaši se snagom, mišice Jahvina! Probudi se, kao u dane davne, za drevnih naraštaja. Nisi li ti rasjekla Rahaba i probola Zmaja?
10 Art thou not it that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that rendered the depths of the sea a road for the redeemed to pass through?
Nisi li ti isušila more, vodu velikog bezdana, i od dubine morske put načinila da njime prolaze otkupljeni?
11 And [so] shall the ransomed of the Lord return, and come to Zion with song, with everlasting joy upon their head; gladness and joy shall they obtain, while sorrow and sighing shall have fled away.
Vratit će se oni što ih je oslobodio Jahve i s radosnim kricima doći će na Sion. Vječna će sreća biti nad glavama, pratit će ih klicanje i radost, nestat će tuge i jecaja.
12 I, I am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal that must die, and of a son of man who will wither as the grass?
Ja, ja sam tješitelj vaš. Tko si ti da se bojiš smrtna čovjeka i sina čovječjeg, koji je kao trava?
13 And thou forgettest the Lord, thy Maker, who hath spread out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and thou dreadest continually, all the day, because of the fury of the oppressor, whenever he aimeth to destroy: and where is [now] the fury of the oppressor?
Zaboravio si Jahvu, svoga Stvoritelja, koji razastrije nebesa i koji zemlju utemelji; sveudilj strepiš, svaki dan, od tlačiteljeve jarosti. Kao da je pregnuo da te uništi. Ali gdje je sad jarost tlačiteljeva?
14 The exile will be speedily set free; and he shall not die in the dungeon, and his bread shall not fail.
Doskora će biti slobodan sužanj, neće umrijeti u jami, niti će mu kruha nedostajati.
15 For I am the Lord thy God, who stirreth up the sea that its waves roar: the Lord of hosts is his name.
Jer, ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, koji burkam more da mu valovi buče, ime mi je Jahve nad Vojskama.
16 And I have placed my words in thy mouth, and with the shadow of my hand have I covered thee: to plant the heavens, and to lay the foundations of the earth, and to say to Zion, Thou art my people.
Svoje sam ti riječi stavio u usta, u sjenu svoje ruke sakrio sam te kad sam razastro nebesa, utemeljio zemlju i rekao Sionu: “Ti si narod moj!”
17 Rouse up, rouse up, arise, O Jerusalem, thou who hast drunk from the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury: the deep cup of confusion hast thou drunk, hast thou drained.
Probudi se, probudi se, ustani, Jeruzaleme! Ti koji si pio iz ruke Jahvine čašu gnjeva njegova. Ispio si pehar opojni, do dna ga iskapio.
18 There is none to lead her, from all the children whom she hath born; and there is none that taketh her by the hand, from all the children whom she hath brought up.
Od svih sinova koje je rodio ne bješe nikog da ga vodi; od svih sinova koje je podigao ne bješe nikog da ga pridrži.
19 Two things are these which have befallen thee: who will have compassion for thee? desolation and destruction, and famine and sword—with whom shall I comfort thee?
Ovo te dvoje pogodilo - tko da te požali? - pohara i rasap, glad i mač - tko da te utješi?
20 Thy children have fainted, they lie at the entrance of all streets, as a wild bull caught in a net, [they are those] who are full of the fury of the Lord, the threatening of thy God.
Sinovi ti leže obamrli po uglovima svih ulica, kao antilopa u mreži, puni gnjeva Jahvina, prijetnje Boga tvojega.
21 Therefore hear now this, O thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine.
Zato čuj ovo, bijedniče, pijan, ali ne od vina.
22 Thus hath said thy Lord, the Eternal, and thy God, who will ever plead for his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of confusion, the deep cup of my fury: thou shalt never more drink it again.
Ovako govori Jahve, Gospod tvoj, tvoj Bog, branitelj tvoga naroda: “Iz ruke ti, evo, uzimam čašu opojnu, pehar gnjeva svojega: nećeš ga više piti.
23 And I will place it in the hand of those who have tortured thee, that have said to thy soul, Bend thee down, that we may pass over; and thou madest like the earth thy back, and like the street for those that passed over.
Stavit ću je u ruke tvojim tlačiteljima, onima koji su ti govorili: 'Prigni se da prijeđemo!' I ti si im leđa kao tlo podmetao, kao put za prolaznike.
