Isaiah 48
1 “Hear this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the Name of YHWH, And make mention of the God of Israel, Not in truth nor in righteousness.
Čujte ovo, kućo Jakovljeva, vi koji se zovete imenom Izraelovim i koji ste izišli iz voda Judinih! Vi koji se Jahvinim imenom kunete i slavite Boga Izraelova, ali ne u istini i pravdi.
2 For they have been called from the Holy City, And been supported on the God of Israel, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
Jer vi se nazivate po Svetome gradu i oslanjate se na Boga Izraelova, Jahve nad Vojskama njemu je ime.
3 I declared the former things from that time, And they have gone forth from My mouth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it comes.
Dogođaje prošle odavna sam navijestio, iz mojih su izišli usta i ja sam ih objavio, učinih brzo, i zbi se.
4 From My knowing that you are obstinate, And your neck—a sinew of iron, And your forehead—bronze,
Jer znao sam da si tvrdokoran, da ti je šija žila gvozdena i čelo da ti je mjedeno.
5 And from that time I declare [it] to you, Before it comes I have caused you to hear, Lest you say, My idol has done them, And my carved image, And my molten image commanded them.
Zato sam ti već onda navijestio, javio ti prije nego što se zbilo, da ne bi rekao: “Moj kip učini to, rezani moj lik i ljeveni kip zapovjediše tako!”
6 You have heard, see the whole of it, And you, do you not declare? I have caused you to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that you did not know.
Čuo si i vidio sve to; zar ne priznaješ? A sada navijestit ću ti nešto novo, otajno, što još ne znaš;
7 Now they have been produced and not from that time, Indeed, before the day, and you have not heard them, Lest you say, Behold, I have known them.
ovog je trena stvoreno, a ne odavna, o tome dosad nisi ništa čuo, da ne bi rekao: “Znao sam.”
8 Indeed, you have not heard, Indeed, you have not known, Indeed, your ear has not opened from that time, For I have known you deal treacherously, And [are] a transgressor from the belly, One is crying to you.
Nisi o tome čuo ni znao, niti se uho tvoje prije otvorilo, jer znadoh da ćeš se iznevjeriti i da te od utrobe majčine zovu otpadnikom.
9 I defer My anger for My Name’s sake, And [for] My praise I restrain for you, So as not to cut you off.
Radi imena svoga odgađah svoj gnjev, radi časti svoje susprezah se da te ne uništim.
10 Behold, I have refined you, and not with silver, I have chosen you in a furnace of affliction.
Gle, pročistio sam te poput srebra, iskušao te u talioniku nevolje.
11 For My sake, for My own sake, I do [it], For how is it defiled? And I do not give My glory to another.
Sebe radi činih tako, sebe radi! TÓa zar da se ime moje obeščasti? Slave svoje drugome ne dam!
12 Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;
Čuj me, Jakove, Izraele, koga sam pozvao: Ja jesam, ja sam prvi, ja sam i posljednji.
13 Also, My hand has founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling to them, they stand together.
Ruka moja zemlju utemelji, desnica mi razape nebesa. Pozovem ih samo, i odmah dolaze.
14 Be gathered, all of you, and hear, Who among them declared these things? YHWH has loved him, He does His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.
Saberite se svi i čujte: tko je od njih to prorekao? “Onaj koga Jahve ljubi ispunit će volju moju nad Babilonom i nad potomstvom kaldejskim.”
15 I have spoken, indeed, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he has made his way prosperous.
Ja rekoh i pozvah ga, vodih ga i pomogoh u naumu.
16 Come near to Me, hear this, I have not spoken in secret from the beginning, From the time of its being, I [am] there, And now Lord YHWH has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
Pristupite k meni i počujte ovo: “Od početka nisam vam govorio tajno, i kad se zbivalo, bijah ondje.” - “A sada me Gospod Jahve šalje s duhom svojim.”
17 Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I [am] your God YHWH, teaching you to profit, Causing you to tread in the way you go.
Ovako govori Jahve, otkupitelj tvoj, Svetac Izraelov: “Ja, Jahve, Bog tvoj, tvojem dobru te učim, vodim te putem kojim ti je ići.
18 O that you had attended to My commands, Then your peace is as a river, And your righteousness as billows of the sea,
O, da si pazio na zapovijedi moje, kao rijeka sreća bi tvoja bila, a pravda tvoja kao morski valovi!
19 And your seed is as sand, And the offspring of your bowels as gravel, His name would not be cut off nor destroyed before Me.”
Potomstva bi tvojeg bilo kao pijeska, a poroda utrobe tvoje kao njegovih zrnaca! Nikad ti se ime ne bi zatrlo niti izbrisalo preda mnom!”
20 Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, Declare with a voice of singing, Cause this to be heard, Bring it forth to the end of the earth, Say, “YHWH has redeemed His servant Jacob.”
Izađite iz Babilona, bježite iz Kaldeje! Glasno kličući, kazujte, objavljujte, do nakraj zemlje razglasite! Govorite: “Jahve je otkupio slugu svoga Jakova!
21 And they have not thirsted in wastelands, He has caused them to go on, He has caused waters from a rock to flow to them, Indeed, he cleaves a rock, and waters flow.
Nisu žeđali dok ih je kroz pustinju vodio; iz stijene je za njih vodu izbio, rascijepio je pećinu i potekla je voda.”
22 “There is no peace,” said YHWH, “for the wicked!”
“Nema mira opakima,” kaže Jahve.
