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.
Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh—Creating thee, O Jacob, and Fashioning thee O Israel, —Do not fear, For I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name. Mine, thou art!
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, with thee, I am, Or, through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee, —When thou walkest through fire, thou shall not be scorched, And, a flame, shall not 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,—Yahweh, am, Thy God, The Holy One of Israel Ready to save thee, —I have given, as thy ransom, Egypt, 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.
Because thou art precious in mine eyes, art honoured And, I, love thee, —And will give mankind, in thy stead, Yea, peoples, for thy life,
5 Ne boj se, jer sam ja s tobom; od istoka æu dovesti sjeme tvoje, i od zapada sabraæu te.
Do not fear for, with thee, I am, —From the East, will I bring in thy seed, And, from the West, will I gather thee:
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 Do not withhold! Bring in 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 who is called by my Name, Whom for mine own glory, I have created—formed—yea, made!
8 Izvedi narod slijepi koji ima oèi, i gluhi koji ima uši.
Bring forth A blind people that have, eyes, and A 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.
All the nations, are gathered together Yea there is an assembling of peoples, Who among them, can tell this, And things in advance, can let us hear? Let them set forth their witnesses that they may get their right, Or let them hear, and say 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 Declareth Yahweh, And my Servant, whom I have chosen, —That ye may take note—and believe me, And perceive that, I, am He, Before me, was not formed a GOD, Nor after me, shall one come into being:
11 Ja sam, ja sam Gospod, i osim mene nema spasitelja.
I—I, am Yahweh, —And there is none besides me ready to save:
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 told—and will save, and make known, That there is among you no strange one; And, ye, are my witnesses, Declareth Yahweh That, I, am GOD.
13 Ja sam od prije nego dan posta, i niko ne može izbaviti iz moje ruke; kad radim, ko æe smesti?
Even from To-day, I, am He, And none, out of my hand, can deliver, —I work and who reverseth?
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 Yahweh, Your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, —For your sakes, have I sent into Babylon, And will bring down as fugitives, all of them, —Even the Chaldeans, in the ships which cause them loud outcry.
15 Ja sam Gospod svetac vaš, stvoritelj Izrailjev, car vaš.
I—Yahweh, am 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 Yahweh, —Who setteth in the sea, a way, —And in the mighty waters, a path;
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 Chariot and horse, Force and strength, Together, shall they lie down They shall not arise, They are extinguished Like a wick, are they quenched!
18 Ne pominjite što je prije bilo i ne mislite o starijem stvarima.
Do not keep in mind former things, —And things of old, do not consider:
19 Evo, ja æu uèiniti novo, odmah æe nastati; neæete li ga poznati? Još æu naèiniti u pustinji put, rijeke u suhoj zemlji.
Behold me! doing a new thing, Now, shall it spring forth, Will ye not take note thereof? Surely I will set In the desert, a way, In a desolate land, rivers:
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 wild beast of the field shall honour me, Jackals, and ostriches, Because I have given—In the desert, waters, Rivers in, desolate land, To give drink unto my people, my chosen:
21 Narod koji sazdah sebi, pripovjedaæe hvalu moju.
A people which I have fashioned for myself, My praise, shall they record.
22 A ti, Jakove, ne priziva me, i bijah ti dosadan, Izrailju.
Yet not upon me, hast thou called, O Jacob, —For thou hast been wearied 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 in to me small cattle as thine ascending-offerings, Nor, with thy sacrifices, hast thou honoured me, —I have not oppressed thee with meal-offerings, Nor have I 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 not bought for me with silver, fragrant calamus, Nor with the fat of thy sacrifices, hast thou sated me, —Thou hast done nothing but oppress 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—I, am he that is ready, To wipe out thy transgressions for mine own sake, —And, thy sins, not remember.
26 Opomeni me, da se sudimo, kazuj, da se opravdaš.
Put me in mind, Let us enter into judgment at once, —Recount, thou, that thou mayest be justified:
27 Otac tvoj prvi sagriješi, i uèitelji tvoji skriviše mi.
Thy chief father, hath sinned, And thine interpreters, have transgressed against me;
28 Zato æu izbaciti iz svetinje knezove, i daæu Jakova u prokletstvo i Izrailja u sramotu.
So then I must needs profane the rulers of the holy place, —And deliver Jacob to be devoted to destruction, and Israel, unto reviling!
