Isaiah 44
1 And therefore listen O Jacob servant my and Israel [whom] I have chosen it.
Sad čuj, Jakove, slugo moj, Izraele, kog sam izabrao.
2 Thus he says Yahweh [who] made you and [who] formed you from [the] womb he will help you may not you be afraid O servant my Jacob and Jeshurun [whom] I have chosen it.
Ovako kaže Jahve, koji te stvorio, koji te od utrobe sazdao i pomaže ti: “Ne boj se, Jakove, slugo moja, Ješurune, kog sam izabrao.
3 For I will pour out water on thirsty [ground] and streams on dry ground I will pour out spirit my on offspring your and blessing my on descendants your.
Jer na žednu ću zemlju vodu izliti i po tlu sušnome potoke. Izlit ću duh svoj na tvoje potomstvo i blagoslov na tvoja pokoljenja.
4 And they will spring up in between grass like poplars at watercourses of water.
Rast će kao trava pokraj izvora, kao vrbe uz vode tekućice.
5 This one he will say [belong] to Yahweh I and this one he will call out with [the] name of Jacob and this one he will write hand his [belongs] to Yahweh and with [the] name of Israel he will name.
Jedan će reći: 'Ja sam Jahvin', drugi će se zvati imenom Jakovljevim. Treći će sebi na ruci napisati: 'Jahvin' i nazvat će se imenom Izraelovim.”
6 Thus he says Yahweh [the] king of Israel and redeemer its Yahweh of hosts I [am] first and I [am] last and except me there not [is] a god.
Ovako govori kralj Izraelov i otkupitelj njegov, Jahve nad Vojskama: “Ja sam prvi i ja sam posljednji: osim mene Boga nema.
7 And who? [is] like me let him proclaim [it] and let him declare it and let him recount in order it to me from when established I a people of antiquity and [the] coming [things] and [the things] which they will come let them declare to them.
Tko je kao ja? Nek' ustane i govori, nek' navijesti i nek' mi razloži! Tko je od vječnosti otkrio što se zbilo? Nek' nam navijesti što će još doći!
8 May not you be in dread and may not you fear ¿ not from then did I proclaim to you and did I declare and you [are] witnesses my ¿ [is] there a god except me and there not [is] a rock not I know.
Ne plašite se, ne bojte se: nisam li vam to odavna navijestio i otkrio? Vi ste mi svjedoci: ima li Boga osim mene? Ima li Stijene? Ja ne znam!”
9 [those who] form an idol All of them [are] nothingness and desired [things] their not they confer profit and witnesses their they not they see and not they know so that they may be ashamed.
Tko god pravi kipove, ništavan je, i dragocjenosti njegove ne koriste ničemu. Svjedoci njihovi ništa ne vide i ništa ne znaju, da im budu na sramotu.
10 Who? has he formed a god and an idol has he cast? to not to confer profit.
Tko pravi boga i lijeva kip da od toga korist ne očekuje?
11 There! all companions his they will be ashamed and craftsmen they [are] from humankind let them gather together all of them let them stand up let them be in dread let them be ashamed altogether.
Gle, svi će štovatelji likova biti osramoćeni, izrađivači njihovi više od bilo koga. Nek' se saberu svi i pojave: prepast će se i postidjeti odjednom.
12 A craftsman of iron a tool and he works [it] on the coal[s] and with hammers he forms it and he worked it with [the] arm of strength his also he is hungry and there not [is] strength not he drinks water and he grew weary.
Kovač ga izrađuje na živu ugljevlju, čekićem ga oblikuje, snažnom ga rukom obrađuje. Gladan je i iznemogao; ne pije vode, iscrpljuje se.
13 A craftsman of wood he stretches out a measuring-line he outlines it with marker he works it with scraping tools and with compass he outlines it and he made it like [the] form of a man like [the] beauty of a man to dwell a house.
Drvodjelja uzima mjeru, pisaljkom lik ocrta, ostruže ga dlijetom, šestarom ga zaokruži i izdjelja ga po uzoru na lik ljudski, kao lijepo ljudsko obličje, da stoji u hramu.
14 To cut down for himself cedars and he took a cypress and an oak and he strengthened [it] for himself among [the] trees of [the] forest he plants laurel and rain it makes [it] grow.
Bijaše sebi nasjekao cedre, uzeo čempres ili hrast koje je za se njegovao među šumskim drvećem; ili je posadio bor koji raste od kiše.
15 And it belongs to anyone to burn and he took some of them and he became warm also he kindles a fire and he bakes bread also he makes a god and he bowed down he makes it an idol and he prostrated himself to it.
Čovjeku su dobra za vatru; uzima ih da se ogrije; pali ih da ispeče kruh. Ali od njih djelja i boga pred kojim pada ničice, pravi kip i klanja mu se.
16 Half of it he burns in a fire over half of it meat he eats he roasts roasted meat so he may be satisfied also he is warm and he may say aha! I am warm I see a fire.
Polovinom od toga naloži, dakle, oganj, peče meso na žeravi, jede pečenku i siti se: grije se i govori: “Ah, grijem se i uživam uz vatru.”
17 And [the] remainder of it a god he makes idol his (he prostrates himself *Q(k)*) to it so he may bow down and he may pray to it so he may say deliver me for [are] god my you.
Ali od onoga što preostane pravi sebi boga, svog kumira, pada pred njim ničice i klanja mu se i moli: “Spasi me, jer si ti moj bog.”
18 Not they know and not they understand for it is besmeared from seeing eyes their from having insight hearts their.
Ne znaju oni i ne razumiju: zaslijepljene su im oči pa ne vide, i srce pa ne shvaćaju.
19 And not he brings to heart his and not knowledge and not understanding to say half of it I burned in a fire and also I baked on coals its bread I roasted meat so I may eat [it] and [the] remainder of it an abomination will I make? to a product of a tree will I prostrate myself?
Takav ne razmišlja, nema u njega znanja ni razbora da sebi kaže: “Polovinom od ovoga naložio sam oganj, na žeravici ispekao kruh, ispržio meso koje sam pojeo, pa zar ću od ostatka načiniti gnusobu? Zar ću se komadu drveta klanjati?”
20 [he is] feeding Ash[es] a heart [which] it is deceived it has turned aside him and not he will deliver self his and not he will say ¿ not [is] falsehood in right [hand] my.
On voli pepeo, zavodi ga prevareno srce. Neće spasti svog života i nikad neće reći: “Nije li varka ovo u mojoj desnici?”
21 Remember these [things] O Jacob and O Israel for [are] servant my you I formed you [are] a servant of me you O Israel not you will be forgotten by me.
Sjeti se toga, Jakove, i ti, Izraele, jer si sluga moj! Ja sam te stvorio i sluga si mi, Izraele, neću te zaboraviti!
22 I have wiped out like dark cloud transgressions your and like cloud sins your return! to me for I have redeemed you.
Kao maglu rastjerao sam tvoje opačine i grijehe tvoje poput oblaka. Meni se obrati jer ja sam te otkupio.
23 Shout for joy O heaven for he has acted Yahweh shout in triumph O lower parts of [the] earth break forth O mountains a shout of joy O forest and every tree in it for he has redeemed Yahweh Jacob and by Israel he will get glory for himself.
Kličite, nebesa, jer je Jahve učinio! Orite se, dubine zemljine! Odjekujte radošću, planine, i vi, šume, sa svim svojim drvećem! Jer Jahve je otkupio Jakova, proslavio se u Izraelu!
24 Thus he says Yahweh redeemer your and [the one who] formed you from [the] womb I [am] Yahweh [who] made everything [who] stretched out [the] heavens to alone me [who] spread out the earth (from with myself. *Q(K)*)
Ovako govori Jahve, otkupitelj tvoj i tvorac tvoj od utrobe: “Ja sam Jahve koji sam sve stvorio, koji sam nebesa sam razapeo i učvrstio zemlju bez pomoći ičije.
25 [who] frustrates [the] signs of Empty talkers and diviners he makes look foolish [who] turns back wise [people] backwards and knowledge their he makes foolish.
Ja osujećujem znamenja vrača, i čarobnjake u luđake promećem; silim mudrace da ustuknu i mudrost im obraćam u bezumlje,
26 [who] establishes [the] word of Servant his and [the] counsel of messengers his he performs who says of Jerusalem it will be inhabited and of [the] cities of Judah they will be rebuilt and ruins its I will raise up.
ali potvrđujem riječ sluge svojega, ispunjam naum svojih glasnika. Ja govorim Jeruzalemu: 'Naseli se!' I gradovima judejskim: 'Sagradite se!' Iz razvalina ja ih podižem.
27 Who says to the ocean-deep be dried up and rivers your I will make dry.
Ja govorim moru: 'Presahni! Presušujem ti rijeke.'
28 Who says of Cyrus shepherd my and all desire my he will perform and to say of Jerusalem let it be rebuilt and [the] temple let it be refounded.
Ja govorim Kiru: 'Pastiru moj!' I on će sve želje moje ispuniti govoreći Jeruzalemu: 'Sagradi se!' i Hramu: 'Utemelji se!'”
