Isaiah 40
1 My puple, be ye coumfortid, be ye coumfortid, seith youre Lord God.
“Tješite, tješite moj narod, govori Bog vaš.
2 Speke ye to the herte of Jerusalem, and clepe ye it, for the malice therof is fillid, the wickidnesse therof is foryouun; it hath resseyued of the hond of the Lord double thingis for alle hise synnes.
Govorite srcu Jeruzalema, vičite mu da mu se ropstvo okonča, da mu je krivnja okajana, jer iz Jahvine ruke primi dvostruko za sve grijehe svoje.”
3 The vois of a crier in desert, Make ye redi the weie of the Lord, make ye riytful the pathis of oure God in wildirnesse.
Glas viče: “Pripravite Jahvi put kroz pustinju. Poravnajte u stepi stazu Bogu našemu.
4 Ech valey schal be enhaunsid, and ech mounteyn and litil hil schal be maad low; and schrewid thingis schulen be in to streiyt thingis, and scharpe thingis schulen be in to pleyn weies.
Nek' se povisi svaka dolina, nek' se spusti svaka gora i brežuljak. Što je neravno, nek' se poravna, strmine nek' postanu ravni.
5 And the glorie of the Lord schal be schewid, and ech man schal se togidere, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoke.
Otkrit će se tada Slava Jahvina i svako će je tijelo vidjeti, jer Jahvina su usta govorila.”
6 The vois of God, seiynge, Crie thou. And Y seide, What schal Y crie? Ech fleisch is hei, and al the glorie therof is as the flour of the feeld.
Glas nalaže: “Viči!” Odgovorih: “Što da vičem?” - “Svako je tijelo k'o trava, k'o cvijet poljski sva mu dražest.
7 The hei is dried vp, and the flour felle doun, for the spirit of the Lord bleew therynne.
Sahne trava, vene cvijet, kad dah Jahvin preko njih prođe. Doista, narod je trava.
8 Verely the puple is hey; the hey is dried vp, and the flour felle doun; but the word of the Lord dwellith with outen ende.
Sahne trava, vene cvijet, ali riječ Boga našeg ostaje dovijeka.”
9 Thou that prechist to Sion, stie on an hiy hil; thou that prechist to Jerusalem, enhaunse thi vois in strengthe; enhaunse thou, nyle thou drede; seie thou to the citees of Juda, Lo! youre God.
Na visoku se uspni goru, glasniče radosne vijesti, Sione! Podigni snažno svoj glas, glasniče radosne vijesti, Jeruzaleme! Podigni ga, ne boj se, reci judejskim gradovima: “Evo Boga vašega!”
10 Lo! the Lord God schal come in strengthe, and his arm schal holde lordschipe; lo! his mede is with hym, and his werk is bifore hym.
Gle, Gospod Jahve dolazi u moći, mišicom svojom vlada! Evo s njim naplata njegova, a ispred njega njegova nagrada.
11 As a scheepherd he schal fede his flok, he schal gadere lambreen in his arm, and he schal reise in his bosom; he schal bere scheep `with lomb.
Kao pastir pase stado svoje, u ruke uzima jaganjce, nosi ih u svome naručju i brižljivo njeguje dojilice.
12 Who mat watris in a fist, and peiside heuenes with a spanne? Who peiside the heuynesse of the erthe with thre fyngris, and weide mounteyns in a weihe, and litle hillis in a balaunce?
Tko je šakom izmjerio more i nebesa premjerio pedljem? Tko je mjericom izmjerio zemlju i planine na mjerila, a tezuljom bregove?
13 Who helpide the Spirit of the Lord, ether who was his councelour, and schewide to hym?
Tko je pokrenuo duh Jahvin, koji ga je uputio savjetnik?
14 With whom took he councel, and who lernyde hym, and tauyte hym the path of riytfulnesse, and lernyde hym in kunnyng, and schewyde to him the weie of prudence?
S kim se on posvjetova, tko je njemu mudrost ulio, naučio ga putovima pravde? Tko li ga je naučio znanju, pokazao mu put k umnosti?
15 Lo! folkis ben as a drope of a boket, and ben arettid as the tunge of a balaunce; lo!
Gle, narodi su kao kap iz vjedra, vrijede kao prah na tezulji. Otoci, gle, lebde poput truna!
16 ylis ben as a litil dust, and the Liban schal not suffice to brenne his sacrifice, and the beestis therof schulen not suffice to brent sacrifice.
Libanon je malen za lomaču, a zvijeri njegovih nema dosta za paljenicu.
17 Alle folkis ben so bifore hym, as if thei ben not; and thei ben rettid as no thing and veyn thing to hym.
Svi narodi k'o ništa su pred njim, ništavilo su njemu i praznina.
18 To whom therfor maden ye God lijk? ether what ymage schulen ye sette to hym?
S kime ćete prispodobit' Boga? I s kakvim ga likom usporedit'?
19 Whether a smyth schal welle togidere an ymage, ether a gold smyth schal figure it in gold, and a worchere in siluer schal diyte it with platis of siluer?
Ljevač lijeva idol, zlatar ga pozlaćuje i lijeva od srebra lančiće.
20 A wijs crafti man chees a strong tre, and vnable to be rotun; he sekith how he schal ordeyne a symylacre, that schal not be mouyd.
Siromah za prinos bira drvo koje ne trune; i vješta traži umjetnika. da mu načini kip nepomičan.
21 Whether ye witen not? whether ye herden not? whether it was not teld to you fro the begynnynge? whether ye vndurstoden not the foundementis of erthe?
Zar ne znate? Zar niste čuli? Nije li vam odiskona otkriveno? Zar niste shvatili tko zasnova zemlju?
22 Which sittith on the cumpas of erthe, and the dwelleris therof ben as locustis; which stretchith forth heuenes as nouyt, and spredith abrood tho as a tabernacle to dwelle.
On stoluje vrh kruga zemaljskoga kom su stanovnici poput skakavaca. Kao zastor nebesa je razastro, kao šator za stan razapeo.
23 Which yyueth the sercheris of priuytees, as if thei be not, and made the iugis of erthe as a veyn thing.
On obraća u ništa knezove, uništava suce zemaljske.
24 And sotheli whanne the stok of hem is nether plauntid, nether is sowun, nether is rootid in erthe, he bleew sudenli on hem, and thei drieden vp, and a whirle wynd schal take hem awei as stobil.
Tek što su zasađeni, tek što su posijani, tek što im stabljika u zemlju korijen pruži, on puhne na njih i oni posahnu, vihor ih k'o pljevu raznese.
25 And to what thing `ye han licned me, and han maad euene? seith the hooli.
“S kime ćete mene prispodobit', tko mi je ravan?” - kaže Svetac.
26 Reise youre iyen an hiy, and se ye, who made these thingis of nouyt; which ledith out in noumbre the kniythod of tho, and clepith alle bi name, for the multitude of his strengthe, and stalworthnesse, and vertu; nether o residue thing was.
Podignite oči i gledajte: tko je to stvorio? Onaj koji na broj izvodi vojsku njihovu i koji ih sve zove po imenu.
27 Whi seist thou, Jacob, and spekist thou, Israel, My weie is hid fro the Lord, and my doom passide fro my God?
Zašto kažeš, Jakove, i ti, Izraele, govoriš: “Moj put sakriven je Jahvi, Bogu mom izmiče moja pravica?”
28 Whether thou knowist not, ether herdist thou not? God, euerlastynge Lord, that made of nouyt the endis of erthe, schal not faile, nether schal trauele, nether enserchyng of his wisdom is.
Zar ne znaš? Zar nisi čuo? Jahve je Bog vječni, krajeva zemaljskih stvoritelj. On se ne umara, ne sustaje, i um je njegov neizmjerljiv.
29 That yyueth vertu to the weeri, and strengthe to hem that ben not, and multiplieth stalworthnesse.
Umornome snagu vraća, jača nemoćnoga.
30 Children schulen faile, and schulen trauele, and yonge men schulen falle doun in her sikenesse.
Mladići se more i malakšu, iznemogli, momci posrću.
31 But thei that hopen in the Lord, schulen chaunge strengthe, thei schulen take fetheris as eglis; thei schulen renne, and schulen not trauele; thei schulen go, and schulen not faile.
Al' onima što se u Jahvu uzdaju snaga se obnavlja, krila im rastu kao orlovima, trče i ne sustaju, hode i ne more se.
