Isaiah 46
1 Bowed down hath Bel, stooping is Nebo, Their idols have been for the beast and for cattle, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
Bel se je upognil dol, Nebó se sklanja, njihovi maliki so bili na živalih in na živini. Vaši vozovi so bili težko obloženi, breme so vsaki izmučeni živini.
2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity have gone.
Sklonili so se, skupaj so se upognili, niso mogli osvoboditi bremena, temveč so sami šli v ujetništvo.
3 Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
Prisluhnite mi, oh hiša Jakobova in ves ostanek Izraelove hiše, ki vas nosim od trebuha, ki ste nošeni od maternice.
4 Even to old age I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.
Celó do vaše visoke starosti jaz sem in celó do osivelih las vas bom prenašal. Jaz sem naredil, jaz bom vzdignil, celó jaz bom nosil in vas osvobodil.
5 To whom do ye liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
S kom me boste primerjali in me naredili enakega in me primerjali, da bi bila lahko podobna?
6 — They are pouring out gold from a bag, And silver on the beam they weigh, They hire a refiner, and he maketh it a god, They fall down, yea, they bow themselves.
Iz torbe iztresajo zlato in na tehtnici tehtajo srebro in najemajo zlatarja in ta ga naredi boga. Padajo dol, da, obožujejo.
7 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he standeth, from his place he moveth not, Yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not, From his adversity he saveth him not.
Vzdignejo ga na ramo, prenašajo ga in ga postavljajo na njegov prostor in ta stoji, iz svojega prostora se ne bo odstranil. Da, nekdo bo vpil k njemu, vendar mu ne more odgovoriti niti ga rešiti iz njegove stiske.
8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
Spomnite se tega in bodite možje. Ponovno premislite, oh vi, prestopniki.
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God — and there is none like Me.
Spominjajte se prejšnjih stvari od davnine, kajti jaz sem Bog in ni nikogar drugega, jaz sem Bog in nobenega ni podobnega meni,
10 Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, 'My counsel doth stand, And all My delight I do.'
konec razglašam od začetka in od starodavnih časov stvari, ki še niso storjene, rekoč: ›Moj nasvet bo obstal in storil bom vse, kar mi ugaja.
11 Calling from the east a ravenous bird, From a far land the man of My counsel, Yea, I have spoken, yea, I bring it in, I have formed [it], yea, I do it.
Ptico roparico kličem od vzhoda, moža, ki izvršuje mojo namero iz daljne dežele. Da, jaz sem to govoril, jaz bom tudi privedel, da se zgodi, to sem namenil in to bom tudi storil.
12 Hearken unto Me, ye mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
Prisluhnite mi, vi arogantni, ki ste daleč od pravičnosti,
13 I have brought near My righteousness, It is not far off, And My salvation — it doth not tarry, And I have given in Zion salvation, To Israel My glory!
svojo pravičnost privedem blizu; ta ne bo daleč stran in moja rešitev duš ne bo mudila. Rešitev duš bom postavil na Sion zaradi Izraela, svoje slave.
