Isaiah 48
1 Hear this, O house of Jacob! Ye that are called by the name of Israel; Ye that have come forth from the fountain of Judah; Ye that swear by the name of Jehovah, And praise the God of Israel, But not in truth and sincerity!
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 call themselves of the holy city, And stay themselves on the God of Israel, Whose name is Jehovah of hosts: —
Jer se imenuju po svetom gradu, oslanjaju se na Boga Izrailjeva, kojemu je ime Gospod nad vojskama.
3 What hath happened I declared to you long ago; From my mouth it proceeded, and I made it known; On a sudden I effected it, and it came to pass.
Što je preðe bivalo, kazivah naprijed odavna, i što iz mojih usta izide i objavih, uèinih brzo i zbi se.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, And that thy neck is a bar of iron, And that thy brow is brass,
Znao sam da si uporan, i vrat da ti je gvozdena žila, i èelo da ti je od mjedi.
5 I declared it to thee long ago; Before it came to pass, I made it known to thee; Lest thou shouldst say, My idol effected it, And my graven image, and my molten image ordained it.
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 Thou hast heard it; now see it all! And will ye not confess it? From this time I make you hear a new thing, Even a hidden thing, which thou hast not known.
Èuo si; pogledaj sve to; a vi neæete li objavljivati? otsele ti javljam novo i sakriveno, što nijesi znao;
7 It is produced now, and not long ago; Before this day thou hast not heard of it, Lest thou shouldst say, Behold, I knew it.
Sada se stvori, i nedavno, i prije ovoga dana nijesi èuo, da ne reèeš: gle, znao sam.
8 Yea, thou heardest it not; yea, thou knewest it not; Yea, it was not disclosed to thee long ago; For I knew that thou wast wholly faithless, And wast called rebellious from thy birth.
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 For the sake of my name I will defer my anger, And for the sake of my praise I will restrain it from thee, That I may not utterly cut thee off.
Imena svojega radi ustegnuæu gnjev svoj, i radi hvale svoje uzdržaæu se prema tebi, da te ne istrijebim.
10 Behold, I have melted thee, and found no silver; I have tried thee in the furnace of affliction.
Evo, pretopiæu te, ali ne kao srebro, prebraæu te u peæi nevolje.
11 For mine own sake will I do it; For how would my name be blasphemed? And my glory will I not give to another.
Sebe radi, sebe radi uèiniæu, jer kako bi se hulilo na ime moje? i slave svoje neæu dati drugome.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob, And Israel, whom I have called! I am He, I am the first, and I the last.
Èuj me, Jakove i Izrailju, kojega ja pozvah: ja sam prvi, ja sam i pošljednji.
13 Yea, my hand hath founded the earth, And my right hand hath spread out the heavens; I called them; they stood forth together.
I moja je ruka osnovala zemlju, i moja je desnica izmjerila nebesa peðu; kad ih zovnem, svi doðu.
14 Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear! Who among you hath declared these things? He whom Jehovah loveth will execute his pleasure upon Babylon, And his power upon the Chaldaeans.
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, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and his way shall be prosperous.
Ja, ja rekoh, i pozvah ga, dovešæu ga, i biæe sreæan na svom putu.
16 Draw near to me, and hear ye this! I spake not in secret from the beginning; And since it began to be, I have been there; And now hath the Lord Jehovah sent me with 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 saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am Jehovah, thy God, who teacheth thee what will profit thee; Who leadeth thee in the way thou shouldst 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 thou wouldst hearken to my commandments! Then shall thy peace be as a river, And thy prosperity as the waves of the sea;
O, da si pazio na zapovjesti moje! mir bi tvoj bio kao rijeka, i pravda tvoja kao valovi morski;
19 Then shall thy posterity be as the sand, And the fruit of thy body as the offspring of the sea; Thy name shall 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 Come ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the land of the Chaldaeans with the voice of joy! Publish ye this, and make it known; Let it resound to the ends of the earth! Say: “Jehovah hath 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 They thirst not in the deserts through which he leadeth them; Waters from the rock he causeth to flow for them; He cleaveth the rock, and the waters gush forth.
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, saith Jehovah, for the wicked.”
Nema mira bezbožnicima, veli Gospod.
