Isaija 46
1 Pade Vil, izvali se Nevo; likovi njihovi metnuše se na životinju i na stoku; što nosite, teško je, i umoriæe.
Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols are on the animals, and on the livestock: the things that you carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary.
2 Izvališe se, padoše svi, ne mogoše izbaviti tovara, nego i sami otidoše u ropstvo.
They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they have gone 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, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne from their birth, that have been carried from the 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.
and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
5 S kim æete me izjednaèiti i isporediti? koga æete mi uzeti za priliku da bi bio kao ja?
"To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
6 Prosipaju zlato iz toboca i mjere srebro na mjerila, plaæaju zlataru da naèini od njega boga, pred kojim padaju i klanjaju se.
Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down—yes, they worship.
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 bear it on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8 Pamtite to, i pokažite se da ste ljudi, uzmite na um, prestupnici!
"Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, you transgressors.
9 Pamtite što je bilo od starine; jer sam ja Bog, i nema drugoga Boga, i niko nije kao ja,
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none 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.
declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
11 Zovem s istoka pticu i iz daljne zemlje èovjeka koji æe izvršiti što sam naumio. Rekoh i dovešæu to, naumih i uèiniæu.
calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.
12 Slušajte me, koji ste uporna srca, koji ste daleko od pravde.
Listen to me, you stubborn of heart, who are far from righteousness:
13 Približih pravdu svoju, nije daleko, i spasenje moje neæe odocniti, jer æu u Sionu postaviti spasenje, u Izrailju slavu svoju.
I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not wait; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
