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.
Èujte ovo, dome Jakovljev, koji se zovete imenom Izrailjevijem, i iz vode Judine izidoste, koji se kunete imenom Gospodnjim, i Boga Izrailjeva pominjete, ali ne po istini i po 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 se imenuju po svetom gradu, oslanjaju se na Boga Izrailjeva, kojemu je ime Gospod nad vojskama.
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.
Što je preðe bivalo, kazivah naprijed odavna, i što iz mojih usta izide i objavih, uèinih brzo i zbi se.
4 From My knowing that you are obstinate, And your neck—a sinew of iron, And your forehead—bronze,
Znao sam da si uporan, i vrat da ti je gvozdena žila, i èelo da ti je od mjedi.
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.
I zato ti odavna objavih, prije nego se zbi kazah ti, da ne bi rekao: idol moj uèini to, i lik moj rezani i lik moj liveni 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.
Èuo si; pogledaj sve to; a vi neæete li objavljivati? otsele ti javljam novo i sakriveno, što nijesi znao;
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.
Sada se stvori, i nedavno, i prije ovoga dana nijesi èuo, da ne reèeš: gle, 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.
Niti si èuo ni znao, i prije ti se uši ne otvoriše, jer znadijah da æeš èiniti nevjeru, i da se zoveš prestupnik od utrobe materine.
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.
Imena svojega radi ustegnuæu gnjev svoj, i radi hvale svoje uzdržaæu se prema tebi, da te ne istrijebim.
10 Behold, I have refined you, and not with silver, I have chosen you in a furnace of affliction.
Evo, pretopiæu te, ali ne kao srebro, prebraæu te u peæi 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, sebe radi uèiniæu, jer kako bi se hulilo na ime moje? i slave svoje neæu dati drugome.
12 Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;
Èuj me, Jakove i Izrailju, kojega ja pozvah: ja sam prvi, ja sam i pošljednji.
13 Also, My hand has founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling to them, they stand together.
I moja je ruka osnovala zemlju, i moja je desnica izmjerila nebesa peðu; kad ih zovnem, svi doðu.
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.
Skupite se svi i èujte: ko je od njih objavio ovo? Gospod ga miluje, on æe izvršiti volju njegovu na Vavilonu, i mišica æe njegova biti nasuprot Haldejcima.
15 I have spoken, indeed, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he has made his way prosperous.
Ja, ja rekoh, i pozvah ga, dovešæu ga, i biæe sreæan na svom putu.
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, èujte ovo: od poèetka nijesam govorio tajno; otkako to bi, bijah ondje; a sada Gospod Gospod posla me i duh njegov.
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 veli Gospod, izbavitelj tvoj, svetac Izrailjev: ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj koji te uèim da bi napredovao, vodim te putem kojim treba da ideš.
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 zapovjesti moje! mir bi tvoj bio kao rijeka, i pravda tvoja kao valovi morski;
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.”
I sjemena bi tvojega bilo kao pijeska, i poroda utrobe tvoje kao zrna njegovijeh; ime se njihovo ne bi zatrlo ni istrijebilo ispred mene.
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.”
Izidite iz Vavilona, bježite od Haldejaca; glasno pjevajuæi objavljujte, kazujte, razglašujte do krajeva zemaljskih; recite: izbavi Gospod slugu svojega 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.
Neæe ožednjeti kad ih povede preko pustinje; vodu iz stijene toèiæe im, jer æe rascijepiti kamen i poteæi æe voda.
22 “There is no peace,” said YHWH, “for the wicked!”
Nema mira bezbožnicima, veli Gospod.
