Isaiah 46
1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols are on the animals, and on the livestock: the things that you carried about are made a load, 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 stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they have gone into captivity.
Izvališe se, padoše svi, ne mogoše izbaviti tovara, nego i sami otidoše u ropstvo.
3 "Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne from their birth, that have been 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 and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will 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 will you liken me, and make me 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 Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down—yes, they worship.
Prosipaju zlato iz toboca i mjere srebro na mjerila, plaæaju zlataru da naèini od njega boga, pred kojim padaju i klanjaju se.
7 They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
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; bring it again to mind, you transgressors.
Pamtite to, i pokažite se da ste ljudi, uzmite na um, prestupnici!
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is no other; I am 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 end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
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 country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also 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 stubborn of heart, who are far from righteousness:
Slušajte me, koji ste uporna srca, koji ste daleko od pravde.
13 I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not wait; and I will place 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.
