Isaiah 45
1 Thus said YHWH, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Indeed, I loose loins of kings, To open double doors before him, Indeed, gates are not shut:
Tako govori Gospod svojemu maziljencu Kiru, čigar desnico sem prijel, da bi pred njim podjarmil narode in odpasal bom ledja kraljev, da pred njim odprem dvoje opuščenih velikih vrat in velika vrata ne bodo zaprta:
2 “I go before you, and make crooked places straight, I shatter doors of bronze, And I cut bars of iron apart,
»Jaz bom šel pred teboj in naredil skrivljene kraje ravne, bronasta velika vrata bom razbil na koščke in železne zapahe presekal na dvoje.
3 And have given to you treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that you know that I, YHWH, Who am calling on your name—[am] the God of Israel.
Dal ti bom zaklade teme in skrita bogastva skrivnih krajev, da boš lahko vedel, da sem jaz, Gospod, ki te kličem s tvojim imenom, Izraelov Bog.
4 For the sake of My servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I also call you by your name, I surname you, And you have not known Me.
Zaradi Jakoba, mojega služabnika in Izraela, mojega izvoljenega, sem te celó poklical po tvojem imenu. Imenoval sem te, čeprav me nisi poznal.
5 I [am] YHWH, and there is none else, There is no God except Me, I gird you, and you have not known Me.
Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni, ni Boga poleg mene. Opasal sem te, čeprav me nisi poznal,
6 So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] YHWH, and there is none else,
da bi lahko vedeli od sončnega vzhoda in od zahoda, da ni nikogar poleg mene. Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni.
7 Forming light, and creating darkness, Making peace, and creating calamity, I [am] YHWH, doing all these things.
Jaz oblikujem svetlobo in ustvarjam temo, sklepam mir in ustvarjam zlo. Jaz, Gospod, delam vse te stvari.
8 Drop, you heavens, from above, And clouds cause righteousness to flow, Earth opens, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, YHWH, have created it.
Kapljajte, ve nebesa od zgoraj in naj nebo izlije pravičnost. Naj se zemlja odpre in naj rodi rešitev duš in naj skupaj požene pravičnost; jaz, Gospod, sem to ustvaril.
9 Woe [to] him who is striving with his Former (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And your work, He has no hands?
Gorje tistemu, ki se prepira s svojim Stvarnikom! Naj se črepinja prička s črepinjami zemlje. Mar bo ilo reklo tistemu, ki ga oblikuje: »Kaj delaš?« Ali tvoje delo: »On nima rok?«
10 Woe [to] him who is saying to a father, What do you beget? Or to a wife, What do you bring forth?”
Gorje tistemu, ki pravi svojemu očetu: »Čemu si zaplodil?« Ali ženski: »Kaj si rodila?«
11 Thus said YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: “Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Indeed, concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.
Tako govori Gospod, Sveti Izraelov in njegov Stvarnik: »Vprašajte me o stvareh, ki pridejo, glede mojih sinov in glede dela mojih rok mi zapovejte.
12 I made earth, and created man on it, My hands stretched out the heavens, And I have commanded all their host.
Naredil sem zemljo in na njej ustvaril človeka. Jaz, celó moje roke so razprostrle nebo in zapovedal sem vsej njegovi vojski.
13 I have stirred him up in righteousness, And I make all his ways straight, He builds My city, and sends out My captivity, Not for price, nor for bribe,” said YHWH of Hosts.
Dvignil sem ga v pravičnosti in jaz bom usmerjal vse njegove poti. Zgradil bo moje mesto in izpustil bo moje ujetnike, ne za ceno niti [ne za] nagrado, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
14 Thus said YHWH: “The labor of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Pass over to you, and they are yours, They go after you, they pass over in chains, And they bow themselves to you, They pray to you: Surely God [is] in you, And there is none else, no [other] God.”
Tako govori Gospod: »Trud Egipta in trgovanje Etiopije in Sabejcev, postavnih mož, bo prišlo k tebi in oni bodo tvoji. Prišli bodo za teboj, v verigah bodo prišli in padli dol k tebi, ponižno te bodo prosili, rekoč: ›Zagotovo je Bog v tebi in tam ni nikogar drugega, tam ni Boga.‹
15 Surely You [are] a God hiding Yourself, God of Israel—Savior!
Resnično, ti si Bog, ki samega sebe skrivaš, oh Izraelov Bog, Odrešenik.
16 They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed—all of them, Those carving images have gone together in confusion.
Osramočeni bodo in tudi zbegani, vsi izmed njih. Skupaj bodo šli v zmešnjavo, ki so izdelovalci malikov.
17 Israel has been saved in YHWH, A perpetual salvation! You are not ashamed nor confounded For all ages of eternity!
Toda Izrael bo rešen v Gospodu z večno rešitvijo duš. Ne boste osramočeni niti zbegani, od veka do veka.
18 For thus said YHWH, Creator of the heavens, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it—He did not create it empty, For He formed it to be inhabited: “I [am] YHWH, and there is none else.
Kajti tako govori Gospod, ki je ustvaril nebo; sam Bog, ki je oblikoval zemljo in jo naredil, osnoval jo je, ni je ustvaril zaman, oblikoval jo je, da bi bila naseljena. Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me in vain, I [am] YHWH, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
Nisem govoril na skrivnem, na temnem kraju zemlje. Jakobovemu semenu nisem rekel: ›Zaman me iščite.‹ Jaz, Gospod, govorim pravičnost, razglašam stvari, ki so pravilne.
20 Be gathered, and come in, Come near together, you escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, And praying to a god [that] does not save.
Zberite se in pridite, približajte se skupaj, vi, ki ste pobegnili narodom. Nimajo spoznanja, ki postavljajo les svojih rezanih podob in molijo k bogu, ki ne more rešiti.
21 Declare, and bring near, Indeed, they take counsel together, Who has proclaimed this from of old? [Who] has declared it from that time? Is it not I—YHWH? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none except Me.
Povejte in privedite jih blizu; da, naj se skupaj posvetujejo. Kdo je to razglasil od starodavnega časa? Kdo je to povedal od tistega časa? Mar nisem jaz, Gospod? In nobenega drugega Boga ni poleg mene, pravičnega Boga in Odrešenika, nobenega ni poleg mene.
22 Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth, For I [am] God, and there is none else.
Poglejte k meni in bodite rešeni, vsi konci zemlje, kajti jaz sem Bog in nobenega drugega ni.
23 I have sworn by Myself, A word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness, And it does not return, That to Me, every knee bows, every tongue swears.
Prisegel sem sam pri sebi, beseda je izšla iz mojih ust v pravičnosti in se ne bo vrnila: ›Da se bo k meni priklonilo vsako koleno, vsak jezik bo prisegel.‹
24 Only in YHWH, one has said, Do I have righteousness and strength, He comes to Him, And all those displeased with Him are ashamed.
Zagotovo bo nekdo rekel: ›V Gospodu imam pravičnost in moč.‹ Celó k njemu bodo prišli ljudje in vsi tisti, ki so ogorčeni zoper njega, bodo osramočeni.
25 In YHWH are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.”
V Gospodu bo vse seme Izraela opravičeno in bo slavilo.
