Isaiah 43
1 And now, thus said Jehovah, Thy Creator, O Jacob, and thy Fashioner, O Israel, Be not afraid, for I have redeemed thee, I have called on thy name — thou [art] Mine.
Sada ovako govori Jahve, koji te stvorio, Jakove, koji te sazdao, Izraele: “Ne boj se, jer ja sam te otkupio; imenom sam te zazvao: ti si moj!
2 When thou passest into waters, I [am] with thee, And into floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire, thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against thee.
Kad preko vode prelaziš, s tobom sam; ili preko rijeke, neće te preplaviti. Pođeš li kroz vatru, nećeš izgorjeti, plamen te opaliti neće.
3 For I — Jehovah thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour, I have appointed Egypt thine atonement, Cush and Seba in thy stead.
Jer ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, Svetac Izraelov, tvoj spasitelj. Za otkupninu tvoju dajem Egipat, mjesto tebe dajem Kuš i Šebu.
4 Since thou wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured, and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And peoples instead of thy life.
Jer dragocjen si u mojim očima, vrijedan si i ja te ljubim. Stog i dajem ljude za tebe i narode za život tvoj.
5 Be not afraid, for I [am] with thee, From the east I bring in thy seed, And from the west I gather thee.
Ne boj se jer ja sam s tobom. S istoka ću ti dovest' potomstvo i sabrat ću te sa zapada.
6 I am saying to the north, 'Give up,' And to the south, 'Restrain not.' Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.
Reći ću sjeveru: 'Daj mi ga!' a jugu 'Ne zadržavaj ga!' Sinove mi dovedi izdaleka i kćeri moje s kraja zemlje,
7 Every one who is called by My name, Even for My honour I have created him, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.
sve koji se mojim zovu imenom i koje sam na svoju slavu stvorio, koje sam sazdao i načinio.”
8 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.
Izvedi narod slijep, premda oči ima, i gluh, premda uši ima.
9 All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, 'Truth.'
Neka se saberu sva plemena i neka se skupe narodi. Tko je od njih to prorekao i davno navijestio? Nek' dovedu svjedoke da se opravdaju, neka se čuje da se može reći: “Istina je!”
10 Ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.
Jer vi ste mi svjedoci, riječ je Jahvina, i moje sluge koje sam izabrao, da biste znali i vjerovali i uvidjeli da sam to ja. Prije mene nijedan bog nije bio načinjen i neće poslije mene biti.
11 I — I [am] Jehovah, And besides Me there is no saviour.
Ja, ja sam Jahve, osim mene nema spasitelja.
12 I — I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I [am] God.
Ja sam prorekao, spasio i navijestio, i nema među vama tuđinca! Vi ste mi svjedoci, riječ je Jahvina, a ja sam Bog
13 Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who doth turn it back?
od vječnosti - ja jesam! I nitko iz ruke moje ne izbavlja; što učinim, tko izmijeniti može?
14 Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: 'For your sake I have sent to Babylon, And caused bars to descend — all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.
Ovako govori Jahve, otkupitelj vaš, Svetac Izraelov: “Radi vas poslah protiv Babilona, oborit ću prijevornice zatvorima i Kaldejci će udarit u kukanje.
15 I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.'
Ja sam Jahve, Svetac vaš, stvoritelj Izraelov, kralj vaš!”
16 Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving in the sea a way, And in the strong waters a path.
Ovako govori Jahve, koji put po moru načini i stazu po vodama silnim;
17 Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: 'Together they lie down — they rise not, They have been extinguished, As flax they have been quenched.'
koji izvede bojna kola i konje, vojsku i junake, i oni padoše da više ne ustanu, zgasnuše, kao stijenj se utrnuše.
18 Remember not former things, And ancient things consider not.
Ne spominjite se onog što se zbilo, nit' mislite na ono što je prošlo.
19 Lo, I am doing a new thing, now it springeth up, Do ye not know it? Yea, I put in a wilderness a way, In a desolate place — floods.
Evo, činim nešto novo; već nastaje. Zar ne opažate? Da, put ću napraviti u pustinji, a staze u pustoši.
20 Honour me doth the beast of the field, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given in a wilderness waters, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people — My chosen.
Slavit će me divlje zvijeri, čaglji i nojevi, jer vodu ću stvorit' u pustinji, rijeke u stepi, da napojim svoj narod, izabranika svoga.
21 This people I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.
I narod koji sam sebi sazdao moju će kazivati hvalu!
22 And Me thou hast not called, O Jacob, For thou hast been wearied of me, O Israel,
Ali me ti, Jakove, nisi zazvao, niti si se zamorio oko mene, Izraele!
23 Thou hast not brought in to Me, The lamb of thy burnt-offerings, And [with] thy sacrifices thou hast not honoured Me, I have not caused thee to serve with a present, Nor wearied thee with frankincense.
Nisi mi prinosio ovce za paljenicu, nisi me častio žrtvama. A ja te silio nisam na prinose, nisam ti dodijavao ištući kada.
24 Thou hast not bought for Me with money sweet cane, And [with] the fat of thy sacrifices hast not filled Me, Only — thou hast caused Me to serve with thy sins, Thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities.
Nisi mi kupovao za novac trsku, nisi me sitio salom svojih žrtava; nego si me grijesima svojim mučio, bezakonjem svojim dosađivao mi.
25 I — I [am] He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for Mine own sake, And thy sins I do not remember.
A ja, ja radi sebe opačine tvoje brišem i grijeha se tvojih ne spominjem.
26 Cause me to remember — we are judged together, Declare thou that thou mayest be justified.
Podsjeti me, zajedno se sporimo, govori ti da se opravdaš.
27 Thy first father sinned, And thine interpreters transgressed against me,
Prvi je otac tvoj sagriješio, posrednici tvoji od mene se odmetnuli,
28 And I pollute princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
knezovi su tvoji oskvrnuli Svetište. Tad izručih Jakova prokletstvu, i poruzi Izraela.
