< Isaija 46 >

1 Pade Vil, izvali se Nevo; likovi njihovi metnuše se na životinju i na stoku; što nosite, teško je, i umoriæe.
Bel, hath crouched, Nebo, is cowering, Their images, are delivered up to beast and to cattle, —The things ye carried about, are become a load, A burden, to the weary!
2 Izvališe se, padoše svi, ne mogoše izbaviti tovara, nego i sami otidoše u ropstvo.
They have cowered they have crouched at once, And they cannot rescue the burden, —But their own soul, into captivity, hath departed.
3 Slušajte me, dome Jakovljev i svi koji ste ostali od doma Izrailjeva, koje nosim od utrobe, koje držim od roðenja.
Hearken unto me O house of Jacob, Even all the remnant of the house of Israel, —Who have been borne from birth, Who have been carried from nativity:
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 unto old age, I, am, the same, And unto grey hairs, I, will bear the burden, —I have made and, I, will carry, Yea, I, will bear the burden and will deliver,
5 S kim æete me izjednaèiti i isporediti? koga æete mi uzeti za priliku da bi bio kao ja?
To whom can ye liken me or make me equal? Or compare me, and we 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.
They who pour gold out of a purse, And who weigh silver in a balance, —Who hire a goldsmith that he may make it into a GOD, They adore, yea they bow down;
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 about on the shoulder They bear the burden of him—and set him in his place that he may stand, —Out of his place, will he not move, —Though one even make outcry unto him, he will not answer, Out of one’s trouble, he will not save him.
8 Pamtite to, i pokažite se da ste ljudi, uzmite na um, prestupnici!
Remember ye this and shew yourselves men, —Bring it back, ye transgressors, to your minds;
9 Pamtite što je bilo od starine; jer sam ja Bog, i nema drugoga Boga, i niko nije kao ja,
Remember ye the things named in advance from age-past times, —For, I, am, The Mighty One, and there is none else, The Adorable 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 from the beginning, the latter end, And from olden time, that which had never been done, —Saying My purpose shall stand, and All my pleasure, will I perform;
11 Zovem s istoka pticu i iz daljne zemlje èovjeka koji æe izvršiti što sam naumio. Rekoh i dovešæu to, naumih i uèiniæu.
Calling, From the East, a Bird of Prey, From a far country, the Man I intended, —Yea I have spoken I will also bring it to pass, I have planned, I will also do it.
12 Slušajte me, koji ste uporna srca, koji ste daleko od pravde.
Hearken unto me, Ye valiant of heart, —Who are far away from righteousness:
13 Približih pravdu svoju, nije daleko, i spasenje moje neæe odocniti, jer æu u Sionu postaviti spasenje, u Izrailju slavu svoju.
I have brought near my righteousness. It shall not be far away, And my deliverance, shall not linger, —But I will give In Zion, deliverance, To Israel, my glory.
