Isaiah 49
1 Listen, islands, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: the LORD has called me from the womb; from the body of my mother has he made mention of my name:
Poslušajte me, oh otoki in prisluhnite, ve ljudstva od daleč. Gospod me je poklical iz maternice, od notranjosti moje matere je naredil omembo mojega imena.
2 and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me; and he has made me a polished arrow, in his quiver has he kept me close:
Moja usta je naredil kakor oster meč; v senco svoje roke me je skril in me naredil zglajeno puščico; v svojem tulu me je skril
3 and he said to me, "You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
in mi rekel: »Ti si moj služabnik, oh Izrael, v katerem bom proslavljen.«
4 But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD, and my reward with my God."
Potem sem rekel: »V prazno sem se trudil, svojo moč sem porabil zaman in v prazno. Vendar je zagotovo moja sodba z Gospodom in moje delo z mojim Bogom.«
5 Now says the LORD who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him; for I am honorable in the eyes of the LORD, and my God has become my strength.
»In sedaj, « govori Gospod, ki me je oblikoval od maternice, da bi bil njegov služabnik, da Jakoba ponovno privedem k njemu: »Čeprav Izrael ne bi bil zbran, bom vendar veličasten v Gospodovih očeh in moj Bog bo moja moč.«
6 And he says, "Is it too insignificant a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel? I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth."
Rekel je: »To je lahka stvar, da bi bil moj služabnik, da vzdigneš Jakobove rodove in da obnoviš Izraelove ohranjene. Prav tako te bom dal za svetlobo poganom, da boš lahko moja rešitev duš do konca zemlje.
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to the one who is despised, to those abhorred as a nation, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of the LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."
Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Odkupitelj in njegov Sveti tistemu, ki ga človek prezira, tistemu, ki ga narod zaničuje, služabniku vladarjev: ›Kralji bodo videli in vstali, tudi princi bodo oboževali zaradi Gospoda, ki je zvest in Svetega Izraelovega in on bo izbral tebe.‹«
8 Thus says the LORD, "In an acceptable time I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you as a covenant to the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:
Tako govori Gospod: »Ob sprejemljivem času sem te uslišal in na dan rešitve duše sem ti pomagal in ohranil te bom in te dal za zavezo ljudstvu, da povzdigneš deželo, da povzročiš, da podedujejo zapuščene dediščine,
9 saying to those who are bound, 'Come out.'; to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.
da boš lahko ujetnikom rekel: ›Pojdite naprej; ‹ tistim, ki so v temi: ›Pokažite se.‹ Pasli bodo po poteh in njihovi pašniki bodo na vseh visokih krajih.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.
Ne bodo niti lačni niti žejni, niti jih ne bosta udarila, niti vročina, niti sonce, kajti on, ki ima usmiljenje do njih, jih bo vodil, celo pri vodnih izvirih jih bo usmerjal.
11 I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
Vse svoje gore bom naredil pot in moje glavne ceste bodo povišane.
12 Look, these shall come from far; and look, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Syene."
Glej, ti bodo prišli od daleč in glej, ti od severa in od zahoda in ti iz dežele Siním.«
13 Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for the LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
Prepevaj, oh nebo in bodi radostna, oh zemlja in izbruhnite v petje, oh gore. Kajti Gospod je potolažil svoje ljudstvo in usmiljen bo do svojih trpečih.
14 But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me."
Toda Sion je rekel: » Gospod me je zapustil in moj Gospod me je pozabil.«
15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
Mar lahko ženska pozabi svojega doječega otroka, da ne bi imela sočutja do sina svoje maternice? Da, one lahko pozabijo, vendar jaz ne bom pozabil tebe.
16 Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
Glej, vrezal sem te na dlani svojih rok, tvoja obzidja so nenehno pred menoj.
17 Your builders hurry; your destroyers and those who devastated you shall depart from you.
Tvoji otroci se bodo podvizali, tvoji uničevalci in tisti, ki so te naredili opustošeno, bodo šli od tebe.
18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live," says the LORD, "you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.
Dvigni svoje oči naokoli in poglej. Vsi ti se zbirajo skupaj in prihajajo k tebi. Kakor jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod, ›zanesljivo se boš oblekla z njimi vsemi, kakor z ornamentom in si jih privezala nase, kakor stori nevesta.
19 "For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
Kajti tvoji opustošeni in tvoji zapuščeni kraji in dežela tvojega uničenja bo sedaj torej preozka zaradi prebivalcev in tisti, ki so te pogoltnili, bodo daleč proč.
20 The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell.
Otroci, ki jih boš imela, potem ko si izgubila druge, bodo v tvoja ušesa ponovno govorili: ›Kraj je preozek zame. Daj mi prostor, da bom lahko prebival.‹
21 Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Look, I was left alone; these, where were they?'"
Potem boš v svojem srcu rekla: ›Kdo mi je te rodil, glede na to, da sem izgubila svoje otroke in sem zapuščena, ujetnica in se selim sem ter tja? In kdo je te vzgojil? Glej, sama sem ostala, kje so bili tile?‹«
22 Thus says the LORD, "Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
Tako govori Gospod Bog: »Glej, svojo roko bom dvignil k poganom in svoj prapor postavil k ljudstvu in tvoje sinove bodo privedli na njihovih rokah in tvoje hčere bodo nošene na njihovih ramah.
23 Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am the LORD; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."
Kralji bodo tvoji negovalni očetje in njihove kraljice tvoje negovalne matere. S svojim obrazom se bodo priklonili k tebi proti zemlji in lizali prah tvojih stopal in vedela boš, da jaz sem Gospod, kajti tisti, ki čakajo name, ne bodo osramočeni.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
Mar bo plen vzet od mogočnega, mar bo pravično ujetništvo osvobojeno?«
25 But thus says the LORD, "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.
Toda tako govori Gospod: »Celo ujetniki mogočnega bodo odvzeti in plen strašnega bo osvobojen, kajti jaz se bom spoprijel s tistim, ki se spoprijema s teboj in jaz bom rešil tvoje otroke.
26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
Z njihovim lastnim mesom bom hranil tiste, ki te zatirajo in pijani bodo s svojo lastno krvjo kakor s sladkim vinom in vse meso bo vedelo, da jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Odrešenik in tvoj Odkupitelj, Mogočni Jakobov.‹«
