Isaija 45
1 Ovako govori Gospod pomazaniku svojemu Kiru, kojega držim za desnicu, da oborim pred njim narode i careve raspašem, da se otvoraju vrata pred njim i da ne budu vrata zatvorena:
Thus, saith Yahweh, to his Anointed, to Cyrus—Whose right hand I have firmly grasped To subdue before him, nations, And the loins of kings, will I ungird, —To open, before him, the two-leaved doors, And, the gates, shall not be shut:
2 Ja æu iæi pred tobom, i putove neravne poravniæu, vrata mjedena razbiæu i prijevornice gvozdene slomiæu.
I, before thee, will go, And the hills, will I level—The doors of bronze, will I break in pieces, And the bars of iron, will I cut asunder;
3 I daæu ti blago tajno i bogatstvo sakriveno, da poznaš da sam ja Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji te zovem po imenu.
Then will I give thee The treasures of darkness, Even the hoards of hidden places, —That thou mayest get to know That I—Yahweh, who am calling thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4 Radi sluge svojega Jakova i Izrailja izbranika svojega prozvah te imenom tvojim i prezimenom, premda me ne znaš.
For the sake of my servant Jacob, Even Israel my chosen Therefore have I called unto thee by thy name, I give thee a title though thou hast not known me, —
5 Ja sam Gospod, i nema drugoga, osim mene nema boga; opasah te, premda me ne znaš,
I, am Yahweh, and there is none else, Besides me, there is no God, —I gird thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 Da bi poznali od istoka sunèanoga i od zapada da nema drugoga osim mene; ja sam Gospod i nema drugoga,
That men may get to know. From the rising of the sun And from the west. That there is none besides me, —I, am Yahweh, and there is none else:
7 Koji pravim svjetlost i stvaram mrak, gradim mir i stvaram zlo; ja Gospod èinim sve to.
Forming light and creating darkness, Making prosperity, and creating misfortune, —I—Yahweh, who doeth all these.
8 Rosite, nebesa, ozgo, i oblaci neka kaplju pravdom, neka se otvori zemlja i neka rodi spasenjem i zajedno neka uzraste pravda; ja Gospod stvorih to.
Let the drops fall ye heavens, from above, Yea, let, the skies, pour down righteousness, —Let the earth open and let them bear as their fruit—deliverance And let, justice, spring forth therewith, I—Yahweh, have created it.
9 Teško onom ko se svaða s tvorcem svojim; crijep s drugim crepovima neka se svaða; ali hoæe li kao reæi lonèaru svojemu: šta radiš? za tvoj posao nema ruku.
Alas for him who contendeth with his Fashioner, —A potsherd, [should contend] with the potsherds of the ground! Shall it be said by the clay, unto him that is fashioning it, What wouldst thou make? Or, thy work say, of thee, He hath no hands?
10 Teško onom ko govori ocu: što raðaš? i ženi: što se poraðaš?
Alas, for one who saith to a father, What begettest thou? Or to a woman What dost thou bring forth?
11 Ovako veli Gospod svetac Izrailjev i tvorac njegov: pitajte me što æe biti; za sinove moje i za djelo ruku mojih nareðujte mi.
Thus, saith, Yahweh, The Holy One of Israel And his Fashioner, As to things to come, they have asked me, Concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands, they would command me!
12 Ja sam naèinio zemlju i èovjeka na njoj stvorio, ja sam razapeo nebesa svojim rukama, i svoj vojsci njihovoj dao zapovijest.
I, made the earth, And man upon it, I created, —I—mine own hands, stretched out the heavens, And all their host, I commanded:
13 Ja ga podigoh u pravdi, i sve putove njegove poravniæu; on æe sazidati moj grad i roblje moje otpustiæe, ne za novce ni za darove, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
I, have roused him up in righteousness, And all his roads, will I level, —He, shall build my city, And my captives, shall he let go, Not for price, nor for bribe, Saith Yahweh of hosts.
14 Ovako veli Gospod: trud Misirski i trgovina Etiopska i Savaca ljudi visoka rasta doæi æe k tebi i biti tvoja; za tobom æe pristati, u okovima æe iæi, i tebi æe se klanjati, tebi æe se moliti govoreæi: doista, Bog je u tebi, i nema drugoga Boga.
Thus, saith Yahweh—The produce of Egypt and the gain of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of great stature, Unto thee, shall come over, And thine, shall they become, After thee, shall they journey, In chains, shall they come over, —And unto thee, shall they bow down Unto thee, shall they pray [saying], —Surely, in thee, is a GOD And there is none else—no, God!
15 Da, ti si Bog, koji se kriješ, Bog Izrailjev, spasitelj.
Surely, thou, art a GOD utterly hiding thyself, —O God of Israel, able to save!
16 Oni æe se svi postidjeti i posramiti, otiæi æe sa sramotom svikoliki koji grade likove.
They have turned pale and even been put to shame, all of them, —Together have they gone into disgrace, have the makers of images:
17 A Izrailja æe spasti Gospod spasenjem vjeènijem, neæete se postidjeti niti æete se osramotiti dovijeka.
Israel, hath been delivered by Yahweh, with an age-abiding deliverance, —Ye shall neither turn pale nor he put to shame, unto the ages of futurity,
18 Jer ovako veli Gospod, koji je stvorio nebo, Bog, koji je sazdao zemlju i naèinio je i utvrdio, i nije je stvorio naprazno, nego je naèinio da se na njoj nastava: ja sam Gospod, i nema drugoga.
For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Who created the heavens God himself! Who fashioned the earth—And made it Himself, established it, …Not a waste, created he it To be dwelt in, he fashioned it, …I, am Yahweh, and there is none else:
19 Nijesam govorio tajno ni na mraènu mjestu na zemlji, nijesam rekao sjemenu Jakovljevu: tražite me uzalud. Ja Gospod govorim pravdu, javljam što je pravo.
Not in secret, have I spoken In a place of the earth that is dark, —I have not said unto the seed of Jacob, In a waste, seek ye me, —I, am Yahweh, Speaking the thing that is right, Declaring the things that are just.
20 Skupite se i doðite, pristupite svi koji ste se izbavili izmeðu naroda. Ništa ne znaju koji nose drvo od svojega lika i mole se bogu koji ne može pomoæi.
Assemble yourselves and come Draw near together, ye escaped of the nations, —They know not Who carry the wood of their carved image, And pray unto a GOD who cannot save.
21 Oglasite, i dovedite, neka vijeæaju zajedno: ko je to od starine kazao? ko je javio još onda? Nijesam li ja, Gospod? Nema osim mene drugoga Boga, nema Boga pravednoga i spasitelja drugoga osim mene.
Tell ye—and bring near, Yea let them take counsel, together, —Who let this be known aforetime. In time past, declared it? Was it not, I—Yahweh? And there is none else that is God besides me, A GOD, righteous and ready to save, There is none, besides me!
22 Pogledajte u mene, i spašæete se svi krajevi zemaljski; jer sam ja Bog, i nema drugoga.
Turn unto me—and be ye saved, all ye ends of the earth, —For, I, am GOD, and there is none else.
23 Sobom se zakleh; izide iz usta mojih rijeè pravedna, i neæe se poreæi, da æe mi se pokloniti svako koljeno, i zaklinjati se svaki jezik,
By myself, have I sworn, Gone forth out of my mouth, is righteousness as a decree And shall not turn back, —That, unto myself, Shall bow every knee, Shall swear every tongue:
24 I govoriæe: u Gospodu je pravda i sila; k njemu æe doæi; ali æe se posramiti svi koji se gnjeve na nj.
Only in Yahweh—for me, Hath one said, Is there righteousness and strength, Unto him, shall come and turn pale—All who have been incensed against him:
25 U Gospodu æe se opravdati i proslaviti sve sjeme Izrailjevo.
In Yahweh, shall be justified and shall boast themselves—All the seed of Israel.
