Isaiah 46
1 Bel has bowed down, Nebo is stooping, Their idols have been for the beast and for livestock, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
Pade Vil, izvali se Nevo; likovi njihovi metnuše se na životinju i na stoku; što nosite, teško je, i umoriæe.
2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.
Izvališe se, padoše svi, ne mogoše izbaviti tovara, nego i sami otidoše u ropstvo.
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
Slušajte me, dome Jakovljev i svi koji ste ostali od doma Izrailjeva, koje nosim od utrobe, koje držim od roðenja.
4 Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.
I do starosti vaše ja æu biti isti, i ja æu vas nositi do sijeda vijeka; ja sam stvorio i ja æu nositi, ja æu vas nositi i izbaviæu.
5 To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
S kim æete me izjednaèiti i isporediti? koga æete mi uzeti za priliku da bi bio kao ja?
6 They are pouring out gold from a bag, And they weigh silver on the beam, They hire a refiner, and he makes it a god, They fall down, indeed, they bow themselves.
Prosipaju zlato iz toboca i mjere srebro na mjerila, plaæaju zlataru da naèini od njega boga, pred kojim padaju i klanjaju se.
7 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he stands, he does not move from his place, Indeed, one cries to him, and he does not answer, He does not save him from his adversity.
Meæu ga na rame i nose ga, i postavljaju ga na mjesto njegovo, te stoji i ne mièe se s mjesta svojega; ako ga ko zove, ne odziva se niti ga izbavlja iz nevolje njegove.
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
Pamtite to, i pokažite se da ste ljudi, uzmite na um, prestupnici!
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like Me.
Pamtite što je bilo od starine; jer sam ja Bog, i nema drugoga Boga, i niko nije kao ja,
10 Declaring the latter end from the beginning, And from of old that which has not been done, Saying, My counsel stands, And all My delight I do.
Koji od poèetka javljam kraj i izdaleka što još nije bilo; koji kažem: namjera moja stoji i uèiniæu sve što mi je volja.
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, The man of My counsel from a far land, Indeed, I have spoken, indeed, I bring it in, I have formed [it], indeed, I do it.
Zovem s istoka pticu i iz daljne zemlje èovjeka koji æe izvršiti što sam naumio. Rekoh i dovešæu to, naumih i uèiniæu.
12 Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
Slušajte me, koji ste uporna srca, koji ste daleko od pravde.
13 I have brought My righteousness near, It is not far off, And My salvation—it does not linger, And I have given salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory!”
Približih pravdu svoju, nije daleko, i spasenje moje neæe odocniti, jer æu u Sionu postaviti spasenje, u Izrailju slavu svoju.
