Isaiah 50
1 Thus, saith Yahweh—Where then is the scroll of your mother’s divorce, whom I have put away? Or, which of my creditors, is it to whom I have sold you? Lo! for your iniquities, have ye been sold, And for your transgressions, hath your mother been 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 in, was there no one? When I called, was there none to answer? Is mine own hand, really shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or is there not, in me, strength to deliver? Lo! by my rebuke, I dry up the sea I make rivers a desert, Their fish Stinketh, for want of water, Yea 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 gloom, And, of sackcloth, make I their covering.
Jaz obláčim nebo s črnino in vrečevino delam [za] njihovo pokrivalo.
4 My Lord Yahweh, hath given unto me the tongue of the instructed, That I should know how to succour the fainting, with discourse, —He kept wakening—morning by morning. He kept wakening mine ear, to hearken as do the instructed;
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 My Lord, Yahweh, opened mine ear, And, I, was not rebellious, —Away, turned I not:
Gospod Bog mi je odprl moje uho in nisem bil uporen, niti se nisem odvrnil nazaj.
6 My back, gave I to smiters, and My cheeks, to them who pulled out the beard, —My face, hid I not from insult 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 Because, My Lord, Yahweh, would help me, Therefore was I not deterred by insult, —Therefore did I set my face like flint, And I knew that I should not be put to shame.
Kajti Gospod Bog mi bo pomagal, zato ne bom zbegan. Zato sem svoj obraz naravnal kakor kremen in vem, da ne bom osramočen.
8 At hand, is one who can justify me. Who will contend with me? let, us stand forth together, —Who can accuse me? let him draw 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 Lo! My Lord, Yahweh, will help me, Who is he that shall prove me lawless? Lo! they all, as a garment, shall fall to pieces, the moth shall consume them.
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 among you, revereth Yahweh, Hearkening unto the voice of his Servant, —That hath walked in dark places And hath had no gleam of light? Let him trust in the name of Yahweh, And lean 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 Lo! all ye that kindle a fire, That gird yourselves with fiery darts, —Walk ye in the blaze of your own fire. And in the fiery darts ye have kindled, At my hand, hath this befallen you, In sorrow, shall ye lie down.
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.
