< 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.
Íme az én szolgám, akit tartok, az én választottam, akit kedvel a lelkem. Ráadtam szellememet, hogy törvényt vigyen szét a nemzeteknek.
2 He will not [show his power by] shouting [DOU] or by talking very loudly.
Nem kiált, nem szól hangosan, nem hallatja az utcán szavát.
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.
Törött nádat nem tör el, és pislogó kanócot nem olt el, igazságra viszi szét a törvényt.
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.”
Nem lankad el és nem törik meg, míg a törvényt nem helyezi el a földön és tanítására nem várakoznak a szigetek.
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],
Így szól az Isten, az Örökkévaló, aki teremtette az egeket és kinyújtotta azokat, aki kiterítette a földet meg sarjadékait, aki leheletet adott a rajta levő népnek és szellemet a rajta járóknak:
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.
Én az Örökkévaló hívtalak igazsággal és megfogom kezedet; megóvlak és teszlek a nép szövetségévé, a nemzetek világosságává;
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.
hogy megnyissad a vak szemeket, hogy kihozzad börtönből a foglyot, a fogházból a sötétségben ülőket.
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.
Én vagyok az Örökkévaló, az a nevem; és dicsőségemet másnak nem adom, se nem dicséretemet a bálványképeknek.
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.”
Az előbbiek íme bekövetkeztek és ujjakat jelentek én, mielőtt sarjadzanának, hallatom veletek.
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!
Énekeljetek az Örökkévalónak új éneket, dicséretét a föld végéről, akik tengerre szálltok és annak teljessége, szigetek és azok lakói.
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!
Hangosan szóljanak a puszta és annak városai, a tanyák, melyeken Kédár lakik, ujjongjanak a szikla lakói, a hegyek csúcsáról kiáltsanak.
12 Even people who live on distant islands should honor Yahweh and sing to praise him.
Adjanak az Örökkévalónak dicsőséget és dicséretét jelentsék a szigeteken.
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.
Az Örökkévaló mint a hős indul ki, mint a harcos vitéz ébreszt fel buzgóságot, riadoz, sikolt is, ellenségein győzedelmeskedik.
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.
Hallgattam régtől fogva, csendes maradtam, erőt vettem magamon; mint a szülőnő nyögök, pihegek és lihegek egyetemben.
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.
Elpusztítok hegyeket és dombokat és minden füvüket elszárasztom; teszek folyókat szigetekké és tavakat kiszárítok.
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.
És vezetek vakokat oly úton, melyet nem ismernek, ösvényeken, melyeket nem ismernek, járatom őket; teszek sötétséget előttük világossággá és a görbe helyeket rónává ezek a dolgok, melyeket megcselekszem és nem hagyom el.
17 But those who trust in carved idols, and say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be completely humiliated/disgraced.”
Meghátráltak, megszégyenülnek szégyennel, akik bíznak a bálványképben, akik azt mondják az öntött képnek: ti vagytok isteneink.
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!
Ti süketek halljátok, és ti vakok tekintsetek, hogy lássatok!
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.
Ki vak, ha csak nem a szolgám és süket mint a követem, akit küldök; ki vak mint az önmegadó és vak mint az Örökkévaló szolgája?
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.”
Sokat látsz, de nem tartod meg; megnyitják a füleit, de nem hall.
21 Because Yahweh is righteous, he has honored his glorious laws.
Az Örökkévaló kívánta az ő igazsága kedvéért, hogy naggyá tegye a tant és dicsővé tegye.
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.
De ő kiprédált és kifosztott nép, fogva tartják mindnyáját odúkban, és fogházakba eldugattak; prédává lettek és nincs megmentő, kifosztva lettek, és nincs ki mondja: add vissza.
23 Who among you will listen carefully to these things? Who will pay attention from now on?
Közületek ki figyel erre, ügyel és hallgat rá a jövőért?
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.
Ki adta kifosztásra Jákobot és Izraelt a prédálóknak? Nemde az Örökkévaló, aki ellen vétkeztünk, akinek útjain nem akartak járni és akinek tanára nem hallgattak?
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].
Kiöntötte tehát rá haragjának hevét és háború hatalmát az lánggal vette őt körül, de ő nem tudta, meggyújtotta, de nem vette szívére.
