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.

Ali sada ovako veli Gospod, koji te je stvorio, Jakove, i koji te je sazdao, Izrailju: ne boj se, jer te otkupih, pozvah te po imenu tvom; moj si.

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 poðeš preko vode, ja æu biti s tobom, ili preko rijeka, neæe te potopiti; kad poðeš kroz oganj, neæeš izgorjeti i neæe te plamen opaliti.

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 sam ja Gospod, Bog tvoj, svetac Izrailjev, spasitelj tvoj; dadoh u otkup za te Misir, Etiopsku i Sevu mjesto tebe.

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.

Otkako si mi postao drag, proslavio si se i ja te ljubih; i dadoh ljude za te i narode za dušu tvoju.

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 sam ja s tobom; od istoka æu dovesti sjeme tvoje, i od zapada sabraæu te.

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.

Kazaæu sjeveru: daj; i jugu: ne brani; dovedi sinove moje iz daleka i kæeri moje s krajeva zemaljskih,

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 zovu mojim imenom i koje stvorih na slavu sebi, sazdah i naèinih.

8 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.

Izvedi narod slijepi koji ima oèi, i gluhi koji ima uši.

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.'

Svi narodi neka se skupe, i neka se saberu plemena; ko je izmeðu njih naprijed kazao to ili nam kazao što je bilo prije? Neka dovedu svjedoke svoje i opravdaju se; ili neka èuju, i reku: 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.

Vi ste moji svjedoci, veli Gospod, i sluga moj kojega izabrah, da biste znali i vjerovali mi i razumjeli da sam ja; prije mene nije bilo Boga niti æe poslije mene biti.

11 I — I [am] Jehovah, And besides Me there is no saviour.

Ja sam, ja sam Gospod, i 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 objavih, i spasoh, i naprijed kazah, a nikoji tuð bog meðu vama, i vi ste mi svjedoci, veli Gospod, i 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?

Ja sam od prije nego dan posta, i niko ne može izbaviti iz moje ruke; kad radim, ko æe smesti?

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 Gospod izbavitelj vaš, svetac Izrailjev: vas radi poslaæu u Vavilon i pobacaæu sve prijevornice, i Haldejce s laðama, kojima se hvale.

15 I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.'

Ja sam Gospod svetac vaš, stvoritelj Izrailjev, car vaš.

16 Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving in the sea a way, And in the strong waters a path.

Ovako govori Gospod koji je naèinio po moru put i po silnijem vodama stazu,

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 izvodi kola i konje, vojsku i silu, da svi popadaju i ne mogu ustati, da se ugase kao što se gasi svještilo:

18 Remember not former things, And ancient things consider not.

Ne pominjite što je prije bilo i ne mislite o starijem stvarima.

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, ja æu uèiniti novo, odmah æe nastati; neæete li ga poznati? Još æu naèiniti u pustinji put, rijeke u suhoj zemlji.

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.

Slaviæe me zvijeri poljske, zmajevi i sove, što sam izveo u pustinji vode, rijeke u zemlji suhoj, da napojim narod svoj, izbranika svojega.

21 This people I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.

Narod koji sazdah sebi, pripovjedaæe hvalu moju.

22 And Me thou hast not called, O Jacob, For thou hast been wearied of me, O Israel,

A ti, Jakove, ne priziva me, i bijah ti dosadan, Izrailju.

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.

Nijesi mi prinio jagnjeta na žrtvu paljenicu, i žrtvama svojim nijesi me poèastio; nijesam te nagonio da mi služiš prinosima, niti sam te trudio da mi kadiš.

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.

Nijesi mi kupio za novce kada, niti si me pretilinom žrtava svojih nasitio, nego si me muèio svojim grijesima, i dosadio si mi bezakonjem svojim.

25 I — I [am] He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for Mine own sake, And thy sins I do not remember.

Ja, ja sam brišem tvoje prijestupe sebe radi, i grijeha tvojih ne pominjem.

26 Cause me to remember — we are judged together, Declare thou that thou mayest be justified.

Opomeni me, da se sudimo, kazuj, da se opravdaš.

27 Thy first father sinned, And thine interpreters transgressed against me,

Otac tvoj prvi sagriješi, i uèitelji tvoji skriviše mi.

28 And I pollute princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!

Zato æu izbaciti iz svetinje knezove, i daæu Jakova u prokletstvo i Izrailja u sramotu.
