Isaija 46
1 Pade Vil, izvali se Nevo; likovi njihovi metnuše se na životinju i na stoku; što nosite, teško je, i umoriæe.
Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
2 Izvališe se, padoše svi, ne mogoše izbaviti tovara, nego i sami otidoše u ropstvo.
They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
3 Slušajte me, dome Jakovljev i svi koji ste ostali od doma Izrailjeva, koje nosim od utrobe, koje držim od roðenja.
Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
4 I do starosti vaše ja æu biti isti, i ja æu vas nositi do sijeda vijeka; ja sam stvorio i ja æu nositi, ja æu vas nositi i izbaviæu.
Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
5 S kim æete me izjednaèiti i isporediti? koga æete mi uzeti za priliku da bi bio kao ja?
To whom would you liken me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
6 Prosipaju zlato iz toboca i mjere srebro na mjerila, plaæaju zlataru da naèini od njega boga, pred kojim padaju i klanjaju se.
You take gold from a bag, and you weigh silver on a scale, so as to hire a goldsmith to make a god. And they fall prostrate and adore.
7 Meæu ga na rame i nose ga, i postavljaju ga na mjesto njegovo, te stoji i ne mièe se s mjesta svojega; ako ga ko zove, ne odziva se niti ga izbavlja iz nevolje njegove.
They carry him on their shoulders, supporting him, and they set him in his place. And he will stand still and will not move from his place. But even when they will cry out to him, he will not hear. He will not save them from tribulation.
8 Pamtite to, i pokažite se da ste ljudi, uzmite na um, prestupnici!
Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
9 Pamtite što je bilo od starine; jer sam ja Bog, i nema drugoga Boga, i niko nije kao ja,
Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
10 Koji od poèetka javljam kraj i izdaleka što još nije bilo; koji kažem: namjera moja stoji i uèiniæu sve što mi je volja.
From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
11 Zovem s istoka pticu i iz daljne zemlje èovjeka koji æe izvršiti što sam naumio. Rekoh i dovešæu to, naumih i uèiniæu.
I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
12 Slušajte me, koji ste uporna srca, koji ste daleko od pravde.
Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
13 Približih pravdu svoju, nije daleko, i spasenje moje neæe odocniti, jer æu u Sionu postaviti spasenje, u Izrailju slavu svoju.
I have brought my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
