Ézsaiás 42
1 Ímé az én szolgám, a kit gyámolítok, az én választottam, a kit szívem kedvel, lelkemet adtam ő belé, törvényt beszél a népeknek.
[Yahweh says, “I want you people to know about] my servant, whom I encourage. I have chosen him, and I am pleased with him. I have given him my Spirit, and he will make certain that all the people-groups do what is right/just.
2 Nem kiált és nem lármáz, és nem hallatja szavát az utczán.
He will not [show his power by] shouting [DOU] or by talking very loudly.
3 Megrepedt nádat nem tör el, a pislogó gyertya belet nem oltja ki, a törvényt igazán jelenti meg.
He will not get rid of [anyone who is weak like] [MET] a smashed reed, and he will not [end the life of anyone who is helpless like] [MET] someone would extinguish a dimly burning wick [of an oil lamp]. He will faithfully/continually make sure that judges decide cases justly.
4 Nem pislog és meg nem reped, míg a földön törvényt tanít, és a szigetek várnak tanítására.
He will not become exhausted or discouraged all during the time that he is causing things to be done justly throughout the earth. Even [people living on the islands in] [MTY] the oceans will confidently wait for [him to teach them] his laws.”
5 Így szól az Úr Isten, a ki az egeket teremté és kifeszíté, és kiterjeszté termésivel a földet, a ki lelket ád a rajta lakó népnek, és leheletet a rajta járóknak:
Yahweh our God created the sky and spread it out. He also created the earth and everything on it. He gives breath to all the people on the earth; he causes them to live [DOU]. [And he is the one who says to his special servant],
6 Én, az Úr, hívtalak el igazságban, és fogom kezedet, és megőrizlek és népnek szövetségévé teszlek, pogányoknak világosságává.
“I, Yahweh, have chosen you to show people that I always act righteously/fairly. I will grasp your hand and protect you, and I will present you to [my Israeli] people to be the one who will put into effect my agreement with them. [You will be like] a light to the [other] nations.
7 Hogy megnyisd a vakoknak szemeit, hogy a foglyot a tömlöczből kihozzad, és a fogházból a sötétben ülőket.
You will enable blind [IDM] people to see, you will free those who are in prison (OR, who are bound [by the guilt of their sins]) [MET] and release those who are in dark dungeons.
8 Én vagyok az Úr, ez a nevem, és dicsőségemet másnak nem adom, sem dicséretemet a bálványoknak.
I am Yahweh; that is my name. I will not allow anyone else to receive the honor that only I deserve. And I will not allow idols to be praised like only I should be praised.
9 A régiek ímé beteltek, és most újakat hirdetek, mielőtt meglennének, tudatom veletek.
Everything that I have prophesied has happened, and now I will tell about other things that will happen. I will tell you things that will happen before they happen.”
10 Énekeljetek az Úrnak új éneket, és dicséretét a földnek határairól, ti, a tenger hajósai és teljessége, a szigetek és azoknak lakói.
Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to praise him throughout the world! All you people who sail across the oceans, and all you creatures that live in the oceans, and all you people who live on islands far away, sing!
11 Emeljék fel szavokat a puszta és annak városai, a faluk, a melyekben Kédár lakik, ujjongjanak a kősziklák lakói, a hegyeknek tetejéről kiáltsanak.
You people who live in towns in the desert, sing loudly! You people who live in the Kedar [area in the north of Arabia], you rejoice also! You people in Sela [city in Edom], you also should sing joyfully; shout [to praise him] from the tops of your mountains!
12 Adják az Úrnak a dicsőséget, és dicséretét hirdessék a szigetekben.
Even people who live on distant islands should honor Yahweh and sing to praise him.
13 Az Úr, mint egy hős kijő, és mint hadakozó felkölti haragját, kiált, sőt rivalg és ellenségein erőt vesz.
[It will be as though] Yahweh will march out like [SIM] a mighty soldier; he will show that he is very angry. He will shout a battle-cry, and [then] he will defeat all his enemies.
14 Régtől fogva hallgattam, néma voltam, magamat megtartóztatám: most mint a szülő nő nyögök, lihegek és fúvok!
[He will say], “I have remained silent [DOU] for a long time; I have restrained myself [from doing what I need to do]. But now, like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby, I will cry out and gasp and pant.
15 Elpusztítok hegyeket és halmokat, és megszáraztom minden fűvöket, szigetekké teszek folyamokat, és tavakat kiszáraztok.
I will level off the hills and mountains, and I will cause all the plants and trees to dry up. I will cause the rivers to become small streams, and little islands will appear in them, and I will cause all the pools to become dry.
16 A vakokat oly úton vezetem, a melyet nem ismernek, járatom őket oly ösvényeken, a melyeket nem tudnak; előttök a sötétséget világossággá teszem, és az egyenetlen földet egyenessé; ezeket cselekszem velök, és őket el nem hagyom.
[My people who have been taken to Babylonia are like] [MET] blind people, [but] I will lead them along a road on which they have not walked before, on a road that they have not seen before. They have felt [very helpless, as though] they were walking in the darkness, but I will take away that darkness and I will make smooth the road that is in front of them. Those are the things that I will do for them; I will not abandon them.
17 Meghátrálnak és mélyen megszégyenülnek, a kik a bálványban bíznak, a kik ezt mondják az öntött képnek: Ti vagytok a mi isteneink!
But those who trust in carved idols, and say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be completely humiliated/disgraced.”
18 Oh, ti süketek, halljatok, és ti vakok, lássatok!
You [Israeli people who have acted toward God like] deaf [people], listen [to what Yahweh says]! “You [who have been like] [MET] blind [people], look!
19 Kicsoda vak, ha nem az én szolgám? és olyan süket, mint az én követem, a kit elbocsátok? Ki olyan vak, mint a békességgel megajándékozott, és olyan vak, mint az Úr szolgája?
No people are [RHQ] as blind as my people, who [should have been] serving me. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] deaf people as [the Israelis, who should have been] my messengers. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] blind people as those whom I chose to serve me.
20 Sokat láttál, de nem vetted eszedbe; fülei nyitvák, de nem hall.
You see and know what are the right things to do, but you do not do them. You hear [what I say to you], but you do not pay attention.”
21 Az Úr igazságáért azt akarta, hogy a törvényt nagygyá teszi és dicsőségessé.
Because Yahweh is righteous, he has honored his glorious laws.
22 De e nép kiraboltatott és eltapodtatott, bilincsbe verve tömlöczben mindnyájan, és fogházakban rejtettek el, prédává lettek és nincs szabadító; ragadománynyá lettek és nincsen, a ki mondaná: add vissza!
But [the armies of Babylon have destroyed Jerusalem] and have completely (plundered/taken away) [DOU] all the valuable things, and they have captured Yahweh’s people and taken them away and put them in prison. They have been captured easily, because there was no one to protect them; there was no one to say that they should be allowed to return home.
23 Ki veszi ezt közületek fülébe? a ki figyelne és hallgatna ezután!
Who among you will listen carefully to these things? Who will pay attention from now on?
24 Ki adta ragadományul Jákóbot és Izráelt a prédálóknak? Avagy nem az Úr-é, a ki ellen vétkezénk, és nem akartak járni útain és nem hallgattak az Ő törvényére?
Who allowed the valuable possessions of the people of Israel to be stolen [RHQ, DOU]? It was Yahweh, because he is he one against whom we had sinned; we did not conduct our lives like he wanted us to, and we did not obey his laws.
25 Ezért ontá ki reá búsulásának haragját és a had erejét; körülte lángolt az, de ő nem értett; és égett benne, de nem tért eszére!
Therefore, he was extremely angry with us, and he caused our soldiers to be destroyed in battles. [It was as though] [MET] he lit a fire around us, but we did not understand [what he was trying to tell us]. [His being angry with us was like] a fire that would burn us up, but we did not pay attention [IDM].
