Isaiah 42
1 Lo! my seruaunt, Y schal vptake hym, my chosun, my soule pleside to it silf in hym. I yaf my spirit on hym, he schal brynge forth doom to hethene men.
Evo Sluge mojega koga podupirem, mog izabranika, miljenika duše moje. Na njega sam svoga duha izlio da donosi pravo narodima.
2 He schal not crie, nether he schal take a persoone, nether his vois schal be herd withoutforth.
On ne viče, on ne diže glasa, niti se čuti može po ulicama.
3 He schal not breke a schakun rehed, and he schal not quenche smokynge flax; he schal brynge out doom in treuthe.
On ne lomi napuknutu trsku niti gasi stijenj što tinja. Vjerno on donosi pravdu,
4 He schal not be sorewful, nether troblid, til he sette doom in erthe, and ilis schulen abide his lawe.
ne sustaje i ne malakše dok na zemlji ne uspostavi pravo. Otoci žude za njegovim naukom.
5 The Lord God seith these thingis, makynge heuenes of noyt, and stretchynge forth tho, makynge stidfast the erthe, and tho thingis that buriownen of it, yyuynge breeth to the puple, that is on it, and yyuynge spirit to hem that treden on it.
Ovako govori Jahve, Bog, koji stvori i razastrije nebesa, koji rasprostrije zemlju i njeno raslinje, koji dade dah narodima na njoj i dah bićima što njome hode.
6 Y the Lord haue clepid thee in riytfulnesse, and Y took thin hond, and kepte thee, and Y yaf thee in to a boond of pees of the puple, and in to liyt of folkis.
Ja, Jahve, u pravdi te pozvah, čvrsto te za ruku uzeh; oblikovah te i postavih te za Savez narodu i svjetlost pucima,
7 That thou schuldist opene the iyen of blynde men; that thou schuldist lede out of closyng togidere a boundun man, fro the hous of prisoun men sittynge in derknessis.
da otvoriš oči slijepima, da izvedeš sužnje iz zatvora, iz tamnice one što žive u tami.
8 Y am the Lord, this is my name; Y schal not yyue my glorie to an othere, and my preisyng to grauun ymagis.
Ja, Jahve mi je ime, svoje slave drugom ne dam, niti časti svoje kipovima.
9 Lo! tho thingis that weren the firste, ben comun, and Y telle newe thingis; Y schal make herd to you, bifore that tho bigynnen to be maad.
Što prije prorekoh, evo, zbi se, i nove događaje ja naviještam, i prije negoli se pokažu, vama ih objavljujem.
10 Synge ye a newe song to the Lord; his heriyng is fro the laste partis of erthe; ye that goon doun in to the see, and the fulnesse therof, ilis, and the dwelleris of tho.
Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu novu, i s kraja zemlje hvalu njegovu, neka ga slavi more sa svim što je u njem, otoci i njihovi žitelji!
11 The desert be reisid, and the citees therof; he schal dwelle in the housis of Cedar; ye dwelleris of the stoon, herie ye; thei schulen crie fro the cop of hillis.
Nek' digne glas pustinja i njeni gradovi, nek' odjeknu naselja gdje žive Kedarci! Nek' podvikuju stanovnici Stijene, neka kliču s gorskih vrhova!
12 Thei schulen sette glorie to the Lord, and they schulen telle his heriyng in ilis.
Nek' daju čast Jahvi i hvalu mu naviještaju po otocima!
13 The Lord as a strong man schal go out, as a man a werryour he schal reise feruent loue; he schal speke, and schal crie; he schal be coumfortid on hise enemyes.
Kao junak izlazi Jahve, kao ratnik žar svoj podjaruje. Uz bojni poklik i viku ratnu ide junački na svog neprijatelja.
14 Y was stille, euere Y helde silence; Y was pacient, Y schal speke as a womman trauelynge of child; Y schal scatere, and Y schal swolowe togidere.
“Šutjeh dugo, gluh se činjah, svladavah se; sad vičem kao žena kada rađa, dašćem i uzdišem.
15 Y schal make desert hiy mounteyns and litle hillis, and Y schal drie vp al the buriownyng of tho; and Y schal sette floodis in to ilis, and Y schal make poondis drie.
Isušit ću brda i bregove, sparušiti svu zelen po njima, rijeke ću u stepe pretvoriti i močvare isušiti.
16 And Y schal lede out blynde men in to the weie, which thei knowen not, and Y schal make hem to go in pathis, whiche thei knewen not; Y schal sette the derknessis of hem bifore hem in to liyt, and schrewid thingis in to riytful thingis; Y dide these wordis to hem, and Y forsook not hem.
Vodit ću slijepce po cestama, uputit' ih putovima. Pred njima ću tamu u svjetlost obratit', a neravno tlo u ravno. To ću učiniti i neću propustiti.
17 Thei ben turned abac; be thei schent with schenschipe, that trusten in a grauun ymage; whiche seien to a yotun ymage, Ye ben oure goddis.
Uzmaknut će u golemu stidu koji se uzdaju u kipove, koji ljevenim likovima govore: 'Vi ste naši bogovi.'”
18 Ye deef men, here; and ye blynde men, biholde to se.
Čujte, gluhi! Progledajte, slijepi, da vidite!
19 Who is blynd, no but my seruaunt? and deef, no but he to whom Y sente my messangeris? Who is blynd, no but he that is seeld? and who is blynd, no but the seruaunt of the Lord?
Tko je slijep ako ne moj sluga, tko je gluh kao glasnik koga šaljem? Tko je slijep kao prijatelj, tko je gluh kao sluga Jahvin?
20 Whether thou that seest many thingis, schalt not kepe? Whether thou that hast open eeris, schalt not here?
Mnogo si vidio, ali nisi mario, uši ti bjehu otvorene, ali nisi čuo!
21 And the Lord wolde, that he schulde halewe it, and magnefie the lawe, and enhaunse it.
Jahvi se svidjelo zbog njegove pravednosti da uzveliča i proslavi Zakon svoj.
22 But thilke puple was rauyschid, and wastid; alle thei ben the snare of yonge men, and ben hid in the housis of prisouns. Thei ben maad in to raueyn, and noon is that delyuereth; in to rauyschyng, and noon is that seith, Yelde thou.
A narod je ovaj opljačkan i oplijenjen, mladići mu stavljeni u klade, vrgnuti u zatvore. Plijene ih, a nikoga da ih izbavi; robe ih, a nitko da kaže: “Vrati!”
23 Who is among you, that herith this, perseyueth, and herkneth thingis to comynge?
Tko od vas mari za to? Tko pazi i sluša unapredak?
24 Who yaf Jacob in to rauyschyng, and Israel to distrieris? Whether not the Lord? He it is, ayens whom thei synneden; and thei nolden go in hise weies, and thei herden not his lawe.
Tko je pljačkašu izručio Jakova i otimačima Izraela? Nije li Jahve, protiv koga smo griješili, čijim putima ne htjedosmo hoditi, čiji Zakon nismo slušali?
25 And he schedde out on hem the indignacioun of his strong veniaunce, and strong batel; and thei brenten it in cumpas, and it knewe not; and he brente it, and it vndurstood not.
Zato izli na Izraela žarki gnjev svoj i strahote ratne: plamen ga okruži odasvud, al' on ni to nije shvatio; sažeže ga, al' on ni to k srcu ne uze.
