Isaija 43

1 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.

But now thus saith Jehovah that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine.

2 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.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

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

For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead.

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

Since thou hast been precious in my sight, [and] honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life.

5 Ne boj se, jer sam ja s tobom; od istoka æu dovesti sjeme tvoje, i od zapada sabraæu te.

Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

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

I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;

7 Sve, koji se zovu mojim imenom i koje stvorih na slavu sebi, sazdah i naèinih.

every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.

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

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

9 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.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

10 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.

Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 Ja sam, ja sam Gospod, i osim mene nema spasitelja.

I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.

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

I have declared, and I have saved, and I have showed; and there was no strange [god] among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and I am God.

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

Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it?

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

Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.

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

I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

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

Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

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

who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick):

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

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

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

Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

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

The beasts of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,

21 Narod koji sazdah sebi, pripovjedaæe hvalu moju.

the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

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

Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

23 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.

Thou hast not brought me of thy sheep for burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honored me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense.

24 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.

Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

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

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins.

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

Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth [thy cause], that thou mayest be justified.

27 Otac tvoj prvi sagriješi, i uèitelji tvoji skriviše mi.

Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.

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

Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.
