Isaiah 42
1 [Yahweh says, “I want you people to know about] my servant, whom I encourage. I have chosen him, and I am pleased with him. I have given him my Spirit, and he will make certain that all the people-groups do what is right/just.
Aj, služebník můj, na kteréhož se zpodepru, vyvolený můj, jehož libuje duše má. Ducha svého dám jemu, onť soud národům vynášeti bude.
2 He will not [show his power by] shouting [DOU] or by talking very loudly.
Nebude křičeti, ani se vyvyšovati, ani slyšán bude vně hlas jeho.
3 He will not get rid of [anyone who is weak like] [MET] a smashed reed, and he will not [end the life of anyone who is helpless like] [MET] someone would extinguish a dimly burning wick [of an oil lamp]. He will faithfully/continually make sure that judges decide cases justly.
Třtiny nalomené nedolomí, a lnu kouřícího se neuhasí, ale soud podlé pravdy vynášeti bude.
4 He will not become exhausted or discouraged all during the time that he is causing things to be done justly throughout the earth. Even [people living on the islands in] [MTY] the oceans will confidently wait for [him to teach them] his laws.”
Nebude neochotný, ani přísný, dokudž soudu na zemi nevykoná, a učení jeho ostrovové očekávati budou.
5 Yahweh our God created the sky and spread it out. He also created the earth and everything on it. He gives breath to all the people on the earth; he causes them to live [DOU]. [And he is the one who says to his special servant],
Tak praví Bůh silný Hospodin, kterýž stvořil nebesa, a roztáhl je, kterýž rozšířil zemi, i to, což z ní pochází, kterýž dává dýchání lidu na ní, a ducha těm, jenž chodí po ní.
6 “I, Yahweh, have chosen you to show people that I always act righteously/fairly. I will grasp your hand and protect you, and I will present you to [my Israeli] people to be the one who will put into effect my agreement with them. [You will be like] a light to the [other] nations.
Já Hospodin povolal jsem tě v spravedlnosti, a ujal jsem tě za ruku tvou; protož ostříhati tě budu, a dám tě v smlouvu lidu, a za světlo národům,
7 You will enable blind [IDM] people to see, you will free those who are in prison (OR, who are bound [by the guilt of their sins]) [MET] and release those who are in dark dungeons.
Abys otvíral oči slepé, a vyvodil z žaláře vězně, a z vězení ty, kteříž sedí ve tmách.
8 I am Yahweh; that is my name. I will not allow anyone else to receive the honor that only I deserve. And I will not allow idols to be praised like only I should be praised.
Já jsem Hospodin, toť jest jméno mé, a slávy své jinému nedám, ani chvály své rytinám.
9 Everything that I have prophesied has happened, and now I will tell about other things that will happen. I will tell you things that will happen before they happen.”
Aj, prvnější věci přišly, a i nové předpovídaje, dříve než se začnou, dám o nich slyšeti vám.
10 Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to praise him throughout the world! All you people who sail across the oceans, and all you creatures that live in the oceans, and all you people who live on islands far away, sing!
Zpívejte Hospodinu píseň novou, chvála jeho jest od končin země, kteříž se plavíte po moři, i všecko, což v něm jest, ostrovové i obyvatelé jejich.
11 You people who live in towns in the desert, sing loudly! You people who live in the Kedar [area in the north of Arabia], you rejoice also! You people in Sela [city in Edom], you also should sing joyfully; shout [to praise him] from the tops of your mountains!
Pozdvihněte hlasu pustiny i města její, i vsi, v nichž bydlí Cedar, prokřikujte obyvatelé skal, s vrchu hor volejte.
12 Even people who live on distant islands should honor Yahweh and sing to praise him.
Vzdejte slávu Hospodinu, a chválu jeho na ostrovích zvěstujte.
13 [It will be as though] Yahweh will march out like [SIM] a mighty soldier; he will show that he is very angry. He will shout a battle-cry, and [then] he will defeat all his enemies.
Hospodin jako silný rek vyjde, jako muž válečný rozhorlí se, troubiti, anobrž i prokřikovati bude, a proti nepřátelům svým zmužile sobě počínati, řka:
14 [He will say], “I have remained silent [DOU] for a long time; I have restrained myself [from doing what I need to do]. But now, like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby, I will cry out and gasp and pant.
Mlčel jsem dosti dlouho, činil jsem se neslyše, zdržoval jsem se, ale již jako pracující ku porodu křičeti budu, pohubím a sehltím vše pojednou.
15 I will level off the hills and mountains, and I will cause all the plants and trees to dry up. I will cause the rivers to become small streams, and little islands will appear in them, and I will cause all the pools to become dry.
V pustinu obrátím hory i pahrbky, a všelikou bylinu jejich usuším, a obrátím řeky v ostrovy, a jezera vysuším.
16 [My people who have been taken to Babylonia are like] [MET] blind people, [but] I will lead them along a road on which they have not walked before, on a road that they have not seen before. They have felt [very helpless, as though] they were walking in the darkness, but I will take away that darkness and I will make smooth the road that is in front of them. Those are the things that I will do for them; I will not abandon them.
I povedu slepé po cestě, kteréž neznali, a po stezkách, kterýchž neuměli, provedu je; obrátím před nimi tmu v světlo, a co nerovného, v rovinu. Toť jest, což jim učiním, a neopustím jich.
17 But those who trust in carved idols, and say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be completely humiliated/disgraced.”
Obrátí se zpět, zahanbeni budou ti, kteříž doufají v rytinu, kteříž říkají slitinám: Vy jste bohové naši.
18 You [Israeli people who have acted toward God like] deaf [people], listen [to what Yahweh says]! “You [who have been like] [MET] blind [people], look!
Ó hluší, slyštež, a vy slepí, prohlédněte, abyste viděli.
19 No people are [RHQ] as blind as my people, who [should have been] serving me. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] deaf people as [the Israelis, who should have been] my messengers. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] blind people as those whom I chose to serve me.
Kdo jest to slepý, jediné služebník můj? A hluchý, než posel můj, kteréhož posílám? Kdo slepý tak jako dokonalý? Slepý, pravím, jako služebník Hospodinův?
20 You see and know what are the right things to do, but you do not do them. You hear [what I say to you], but you do not pay attention.”
Hledě na mnohé věci, však nesrozumívá; otevřené maje uši, však neslyší.
21 Because Yahweh is righteous, he has honored his glorious laws.
Mělť jest Hospodin líbost v něm pro spravedlnost svou, zvelebil jej zákonem, a slavného učinil.
22 But [the armies of Babylon have destroyed Jerusalem] and have completely (plundered/taken away) [DOU] all the valuable things, and they have captured Yahweh’s people and taken them away and put them in prison. They have been captured easily, because there was no one to protect them; there was no one to say that they should be allowed to return home.
Že pak lid tento obloupený jest a potlačený, jehožto mládence, což jich koli, jímají a do žalářů skrývají, že jsou dáni v loupež, aniž jest, kdo by je vytrhl, v rozchvátání, aniž jest, kdo by řekl: Navrať zase,
23 Who among you will listen carefully to these things? Who will pay attention from now on?
Kdo z vás ušima pozoruje toho, srozumívá tomu, aby se bedlivěji chtěl míti napotom?
24 Who allowed the valuable possessions of the people of Israel to be stolen [RHQ, DOU]? It was Yahweh, because he is he one against whom we had sinned; we did not conduct our lives like he wanted us to, and we did not obey his laws.
Kdo vydal v potlačení Jákoba, a Izraele loupežníkům? Zdali ne Hospodin, proti němuž jsme zhřešili? Nebo nechtěli po cestách jeho choditi, aniž poslouchali zákona jeho.
25 Therefore, he was extremely angry with us, and he caused our soldiers to be destroyed in battles. [It was as though] [MET] he lit a fire around us, but we did not understand [what he was trying to tell us]. [His being angry with us was like] a fire that would burn us up, but we did not pay attention [IDM].
A protož vylil na něj s prchlivostí hněv svůj, a násilé boje, a zapálil jej vůkol, a však nepoznal toho. Zapálil jej, pravím, a však nepřipustil toho k srdci.
