Isaija 50
1 Ovako veli Gospod: gdje je raspusna knjiga matere vaše kojom je pustih? ili koji je izmeðu rukodavalaca mojih kome vas prodadoh? Gle, za bezakonja svoja prodadoste se i za vaše prijestupe bi puštena mati vaša.
This is the word of the Lord: Where is the statement which I gave your mother when I put her away? or to which of my creditors have I given you for money? It was for your sins that you were given into the hands of others, and for your evil-doing was your mother put away.
2 Zašto kad doðoh ne bi nikoga? kad zvah, niko se ne odazva? da nije kako god okraèala ruka moja, te ne može iskupiti? ili nema u mene snage da izbavim? Gle, prijetnjom svojom isušujem more; obraæam rijeke u pustinju da se usmrde ribe njihove zato što nestane vode, i mru od žeði.
Why, then, when I came, was there no man? and no one to give answer to my voice? has my hand become feeble, so that it is unable to take up your cause? or have I no power to make you free? See, at my word the sea becomes dry, I make the rivers a waste land: their fish are dead for need of water, and make an evil smell.
3 Oblaèim nebesa u mrak, i kostrijet im dajem za pokrivaè.
By me the heavens are clothed with black, and I make haircloth their robe.
4 Gospod Gospod dade mi jezik uèen da umijem progovoriti zgodnu rijeè umornom; budi svako jutro, budi mi uši, da slušam kao uèenici.
The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:
5 Gospod Gospod otvori mi uši, i ja se ne protivih, ne otstupih natrag.
And I have not put myself against him, or let my heart be turned back from him.
6 Leða svoja podmetah onima koji me bijahu i obraze svoje onima koji me èupahu; ne zaklonih lica svojega od ruga ni od zapljuvanja.
I was offering my back to those who gave me blows, and my face to those who were pulling out my hair: I did not keep my face covered from marks of shame.
7 Jer mi Gospod Gospod pomaže, zato se ne osramotih, zato stavih èelo svoje kao kremen, i znam da se neæu postidjeti.
For the Lord God is my helper; I will not be put to shame: so I have made my face like a rock, and I am certain that he will give me my right.
8 Blizu je onaj koji me pravda; ko æe se preti sa mnom? stanimo zajedno; ko je suparnik moj? neka pristupi k meni.
He who takes up my cause is near; who will go to law with me? let us come together before the judge: who is against me? let him come near to me.
9 Gle, Gospod Gospod pomagaæe mi: ko æe me osuditi? Gle, svi æe oni kao haljina ovetšati, moljac æe ih izjesti.
See, the Lord God is my helper; who will give a decision against me? truly, all of them will become old like a robe; they will be food for the worm.
10 Ko se meðu vama boji Gospoda i sluša glas sluge njegova? Ko hodi po mraku i nema vidjela, neka se uzda u ime Gospodnje i neka se oslanja na Boga svojega.
Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support.
11 Gle, svi koji ložite oganj i opasujete se iskrama, idite u svjetlosti ognja svojega i u iskrama koje raspaliste. To vam je iz moje ruke, u mukama æete ležati.
See, all you who make a fire, arming yourselves with burning branches: go in the flame of your fire, and among the branches you have put a light to. This will you have from my hand, you will make your bed in sorrow.
