< 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 [also] what Yahweh says: “You [Israeli children], do not think [RHQ] that I [forced your parents to be exiled/taken to Babylonia] [MET] like some men send away their wives after giving them a paper on which they state that they were divorcing them! I certainly did not [RHQ] get rid of you like a man who sells his children to get money to pay what he owes. No, the reason that I forced you to be exiled [was to punish you] because of the sins that you have committed [DOU].
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.
When I came to you [to rescue you], why did no one answer when I called out to you [RHQ]? Was there no one there [RHQ]? Or, did you think that I do not have the power [MTY] to rescue you [DOU]? Think about this: I can speak to a sea and cause it to become dry! I can cause rivers to become deserts, with the result that the fish in the rivers die from thirst and they rot.
3 Oblaèim nebesa u mrak, i kostrijet im dajem za pokrivaè.
I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”
4 Gospod Gospod dade mi jezik uèen da umijem progovoriti zgodnu rijeè umornom; budi svako jutro, budi mi uši, da slušam kao uèenici.
Yahweh our God has given me his wise message [MTY] in order that I may encourage those who are weary. Each morning he awakens me, in order that I [SYN] may listen to what he teaches [SIM] me.
5 Gospod Gospod otvori mi uši, i ja se ne protivih, ne otstupih natrag.
Yahweh our God has spoken to me [IDM], and I have not rejected what he told me; I have accepted [LIT] it.
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 allowed people to beat me on my back and to pull out the whiskers in my beard [because they hated me]. I did not turn away [MTY] from them when they made fun of me and spat on me.
7 Jer mi Gospod Gospod pomaže, zato se ne osramotih, zato stavih èelo svoje kao kremen, i znam da se neæu postidjeti.
But, because the Lord our God helps me, I will never be humiliated. Therefore, I am strongly determined [IDM] to face/endure difficulties, and I know that nothing will cause me to be ashamed.
8 Blizu je onaj koji me pravda; ko æe se preti sa mnom? stanimo zajedno; ko je suparnik moj? neka pristupi k meni.
God, the one who vindicates me, is near to me; so if anyone [RHQ] stands in front of me and accuses me in a court, he will not be able [to show that I have done anything that is wrong].
9 Gle, Gospod Gospod pomagaæe mi: ko æe me osuditi? Gle, svi æe oni kao haljina ovetšati, moljac æe ih izjesti.
The Lord our God defends me [in court], so no one [RHQ] will be able to (condemn me/declare that I am guilty). All those who accuse me will disappear like [SIM] old clothes that have been eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches).
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.
If you revere Yahweh and do what his servant tells you to do, even if you are (walking in darkness/enduring suffering), and it seems that [MET] there is no light, trust in Yahweh your God [DOU] [to help you].
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.
But you people who [oppose me], [who would like to throw] me into a blazing fire, walk in your own fires and burn yourselves with your own torches! This is what Yahweh will cause to happen to you: You will be enduring great torment when you die [EUP]!
