Isaiah 45
1 Thus says YHWH to his anointed, to Koresh, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their armor; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
Tako govori Gospod svojemu maziljencu Kiru, čigar desnico sem prijel, da bi pred njim podjarmil narode in odpasal bom ledja kraljev, da pred njim odprem dvoje opuščenih velikih vrat in velika vrata ne bodo zaprta:
2 "I will go before you, and make the mountains level. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces, and cut apart the bars of iron.
»Jaz bom šel pred teboj in naredil skrivljene kraje ravne, bronasta velika vrata bom razbil na koščke in železne zapahe presekal na dvoje.
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, YHWH, who call you by your name, even the God of Israel.
Dal ti bom zaklade teme in skrita bogastva skrivnih krajev, da boš lahko vedel, da sem jaz, Gospod, ki te kličem s tvojim imenom, Izraelov Bog.
4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
Zaradi Jakoba, mojega služabnika in Izraela, mojega izvoljenega, sem te celó poklical po tvojem imenu. Imenoval sem te, čeprav me nisi poznal.
5 I am YHWH, and there is no other. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me;
Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni, ni Boga poleg mene. Opasal sem te, čeprav me nisi poznal,
6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me. I am YHWH, and there is no one else.
da bi lahko vedeli od sončnega vzhoda in od zahoda, da ni nikogar poleg mene. Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni.
7 I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am YHWH, who does all these things.
Jaz oblikujem svetlobo in ustvarjam temo, sklepam mir in ustvarjam zlo. Jaz, Gospod, delam vse te stvari.
8 Distil, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, YHWH, have created it.
Kapljajte, ve nebesa od zgoraj in naj nebo izlije pravičnost. Naj se zemlja odpre in naj rodi rešitev duš in naj skupaj požene pravičnost; jaz, Gospod, sem to ustvaril.
9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker, a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth. Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, 'What are you making?' or your work, 'He has no hands?'
Gorje tistemu, ki se prepira s svojim Stvarnikom! Naj se črepinja prička s črepinjami zemlje. Mar bo ilo reklo tistemu, ki ga oblikuje: »Kaj delaš?« Ali tvoje delo: »On nima rok?«
10 Woe to him who says to a father, 'What have you become the father of?' or to a mother, 'To what have you given birth?'"
Gorje tistemu, ki pravi svojemu očetu: »Čemu si zaplodil?« Ali ženski: »Kaj si rodila?«
11 Thus says YHWH, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands.
Tako govori Gospod, Sveti Izraelov in njegov Stvarnik: »Vprašajte me o stvareh, ki pridejo, glede mojih sinov in glede dela mojih rok mi zapovejte.
12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and I have commanded all their army.
Naredil sem zemljo in na njej ustvaril človeka. Jaz, celó moje roke so razprostrle nebo in zapovedal sem vsej njegovi vojski.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward," says YHWH of hosts.
Dvignil sem ga v pravičnosti in jaz bom usmerjal vse njegove poti. Zgradil bo moje mesto in izpustil bo moje ujetnike, ne za ceno niti [ne za] nagrado, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
14 Thus says YHWH: "The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains; and they will bow down to you. They will make petition to you: 'Surely God is in you; and there is no other. There is no other god.
Tako govori Gospod: »Trud Egipta in trgovanje Etiopije in Sabejcev, postavnih mož, bo prišlo k tebi in oni bodo tvoji. Prišli bodo za teboj, v verigah bodo prišli in padli dol k tebi, ponižno te bodo prosili, rekoč: ›Zagotovo je Bog v tebi in tam ni nikogar drugega, tam ni Boga.‹
15 Most certainly you are a God who hid yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.'"
Resnično, ti si Bog, ki samega sebe skrivaš, oh Izraelov Bog, Odrešenik.
16 They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
Osramočeni bodo in tudi zbegani, vsi izmed njih. Skupaj bodo šli v zmešnjavo, ki so izdelovalci malikov.
17 Israel will be saved by YHWH with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
Toda Izrael bo rešen v Gospodu z večno rešitvijo duš. Ne boste osramočeni niti zbegani, od veka do veka.
18 For thus says YHWH who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and did not create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited: "I am YHWH, and there is no other.
Kajti tako govori Gospod, ki je ustvaril nebo; sam Bog, ki je oblikoval zemljo in jo naredil, osnoval jo je, ni je ustvaril zaman, oblikoval jo je, da bi bila naseljena. Jaz sem Gospod in nobenega drugega ni.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, 'Seek me in vain.' I, YHWH, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
Nisem govoril na skrivnem, na temnem kraju zemlje. Jakobovemu semenu nisem rekel: ›Zaman me iščite.‹ Jaz, Gospod, govorim pravičnost, razglašam stvari, ki so pravilne.
20 Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can't save.
Zberite se in pridite, približajte se skupaj, vi, ki ste pobegnili narodom. Nimajo spoznanja, ki postavljajo les svojih rezanih podob in molijo k bogu, ki ne more rešiti.
21 Declare and bring it forth. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who announced this from long ago, has told it from then? Was it not I, YHWH? And there is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; there is no one besides me.
Povejte in privedite jih blizu; da, naj se skupaj posvetujejo. Kdo je to razglasil od starodavnega časa? Kdo je to povedal od tistega časa? Mar nisem jaz, Gospod? In nobenega drugega Boga ni poleg mene, pravičnega Boga in Odrešenika, nobenega ni poleg mene.
22 Look to me, and be saved, every part of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
Poglejte k meni in bodite rešeni, vsi konci zemlje, kajti jaz sem Bog in nobenega drugega ni.
23 By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear to God.
Prisegel sem sam pri sebi, beseda je izšla iz mojih ust v pravičnosti in se ne bo vrnila: ›Da se bo k meni priklonilo vsako koleno, vsak jezik bo prisegel.‹
24 Only in YHWH, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength; even to him shall men come; and all those who were incensed against him shall be disappointed.
Zagotovo bo nekdo rekel: ›V Gospodu imam pravičnost in moč.‹ Celó k njemu bodo prišli ljudje in vsi tisti, ki so ogorčeni zoper njega, bodo osramočeni.
25 In YHWH shall all the descendants of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
V Gospodu bo vse seme Izraela opravičeno in bo slavilo.
