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.
Bel se je upognil dol, Nebó se sklanja, njihovi maliki so bili na živalih in na živini. Vaši vozovi so bili težko obloženi, breme so vsaki izmučeni živini.
2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.
Sklonili so se, skupaj so se upognili, niso mogli osvoboditi bremena, temveč so sami šli v ujetništvo.
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,
Prisluhnite mi, oh hiša Jakobova in ves ostanek Izraelove hiše, ki vas nosim od trebuha, ki ste nošeni od maternice.
4 Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.
Celó do vaše visoke starosti jaz sem in celó do osivelih las vas bom prenašal. Jaz sem naredil, jaz bom vzdignil, celó jaz bom nosil in vas osvobodil.
5 To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
S kom me boste primerjali in me naredili enakega in me primerjali, da bi bila lahko podobna?
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.
Iz torbe iztresajo zlato in na tehtnici tehtajo srebro in najemajo zlatarja in ta ga naredi boga. Padajo dol, da, obožujejo.
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.
Vzdignejo ga na ramo, prenašajo ga in ga postavljajo na njegov prostor in ta stoji, iz svojega prostora se ne bo odstranil. Da, nekdo bo vpil k njemu, vendar mu ne more odgovoriti niti ga rešiti iz njegove stiske.
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
Spomnite se tega in bodite možje. Ponovno premislite, oh vi, prestopniki.
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like Me.
Spominjajte se prejšnjih stvari od davnine, kajti jaz sem Bog in ni nikogar drugega, jaz sem Bog in nobenega ni podobnega meni,
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.
konec razglašam od začetka in od starodavnih časov stvari, ki še niso storjene, rekoč: ›Moj nasvet bo obstal in storil bom vse, kar mi ugaja.
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.
Ptico roparico kličem od vzhoda, moža, ki izvršuje mojo namero iz daljne dežele. Da, jaz sem to govoril, jaz bom tudi privedel, da se zgodi, to sem namenil in to bom tudi storil.
12 Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
Prisluhnite mi, vi arogantni, ki ste daleč od pravičnosti,
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!”
svojo pravičnost privedem blizu; ta ne bo daleč stran in moja rešitev duš ne bo mudila. Rešitev duš bom postavil na Sion zaradi Izraela, svoje slave.
