Isaiah 50
1 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, wherewith I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
Tako govori Gospod: »Kje je ločitveni list vaše matere, ki sem jo odslovil? Ali kateri izmed mojih upnikov je ta, h kateremu sem vas prodal? Glejte, zaradi svojih krivičnosti ste se sami prodali in zaradi vaših prestopkov je vaša mati odslovljena.
2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
Zakaj ni bilo človeka, ko sem prišel? Ko sem klical ni bilo nobenega, da odgovori? Mar je moja roka precej skrajšana, da ne more odkupiti? Mar nimam moči, da osvobodim? Glejte, ob svoji graji posušim morje, reke naredim za divjino. Njihove ribe zaudarjajo, ker tam ni vode in poginjajo zaradi žeje.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
Jaz obláčim nebo s črnino in vrečevino delam [za] njihovo pokrivalo.
4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I should know how to sustain with words him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as they that are taught.
Gospod Bog mi je dal jezik učenega, da bi vedel kako ob pravem času govoriti besedo tistemu, ki je izmučen. Zbuja [me] jutro za jutrom, on zbuja moje uho, da slišim kakor učeni.
5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
Gospod Bog mi je odprl moje uho in nisem bil uporen, niti se nisem odvrnil nazaj.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
Svoj hrbet sem dal tistim, ki so me udarjali in svoja lica tistim, ki so mi pulili brado. Svojega obraza nisem skril pred sramoto in pljuvanjem.
7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore have I not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
Kajti Gospod Bog mi bo pomagal, zato ne bom zbegan. Zato sem svoj obraz naravnal kakor kremen in vem, da ne bom osramočen.
8 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand up together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
Blizu je ta, ki me opravičuje. Kdo se bo spoprijel z menoj? Stopiva skupaj. Kdo je moj nasprotnik? Naj pride bliže k meni.
9 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? behold, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Glej, Gospod Bog mi bo pomagal; kdo je tisti, ki me bo obsojal? Glej, vsi se bodo postarali kakor obleka, molj jih bo požrl.
10 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant? he that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
Kdo je med vami, ki se boji Gospoda, ki uboga glas svojega služabnika, ki hodi v temi in nima svetlobe? Naj zaupa v Gospodovo ime in se naslanja na svojega Boga.
11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that gird yourselves about with firebrands: walk ye in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
Glejte, vsi vi, ki prižigate ogenj, ki se naokrog obdajate z iskrami. Hodite v svetlobi svojega ognja in v iskrah, ki ste jih vžgali. To boste imeli od moje roke; ulegli se boste v bridkosti.
