< Isaija 51 >

1 Poslušajte me koji idete za pravdom, koji tražite Gospoda; pogledajte stijenu iz koje ste isjeèeni, i duboku jamu iz koje ste iskopani;
Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.
2 Pogledajte Avrama, oca svojega, i Saru, koja vas je rodila, kako ga inokosna pozvah i blagoslovih ga i umnožih ga.
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
3 Jer æe Gospod utješiti Sion, utješiæe sve razvaline njegove, i pustinju njegovu uèiniæe da bude kao Edem i pustoš njegova kao vrt Gospodnji, radost æe se i veselje nalaziti u njemu, zahvaljivanje i pjevanje.
For the LORD hath comforted Zion: he hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 Poslušaj me, narode moj, i èuj me, rode moj; jer æe zakon od mene izaæi i sud svoj postaviæu da bude vidjelo narodima.
Attend unto me, O my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the peoples.
5 Blizu je pravda moja, izaæi æe spasenje moje, i mišice æe moje suditi narodima; mene æe ostrva èekati i u moju æe se mišicu uzdati.
My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
6 Podignite k nebu oèi svoje i pogledajte dolje na zemlju; jer æe nebesa išèeznuti kao dim i zemlja æe kao haljina ovetšati, i koji na njoj žive pomrijeæe takoðer; a spasenje æe moje ostati dovijeka, i pravde moje neæe nestati.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Poslušajte me koji znate pravdu, narode, kojemu je u srcu zakon moj. Ne bojte se ruženja ljudskoga i od huljenja njihova ne plašite se.
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.
8 Jer æe ih moljac izjesti kao haljinu, i kao vunu izješæe ih crv; a pravda moja ostaje dovijeka i spasenje moje od koljena na koljeno.
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation unto all generations.
9 Probudi se, probudi se, obuci se u silu, mišico Gospodnja; probudi se kao u staro vrijeme, za naraštaja prošlijeh; nijesi li ti isjekla Ravu i ranila zmaja?
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Art thou not it that cut Rahab in pieces, that pierced the dragon?
10 Nijesi li ti isušila more, vodu bezdana velikoga, od dubine morske naèinila put da proðu izbavljeni?
Art thou not it which dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 Tako oni koje iskupi Gospod neka se vrate i doðu u Sion pjevajuæi, i veselje vjeèno neka bude nad glavom njihovom; radost i veselje neka zadobiju, a žalost i uzdisanje neka bježi.
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, [and] sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12 Ja, ja sam utješitelj vaš; ko si ti da se bojiš èovjeka smrtnoga i sina èovjeèijega, koji je kao trava?
I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
13 I zaboravio si Boga tvorca svojega, koji je razapeo nebesa i osnovao zemlju? i jednako se bojiš svaki dan gnjeva onoga koji te pritješnjuje kad se sprema da zatire? a gdje je gnjev onoga koji pritješnjuje?
and hast forgotten the LORD thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 Brzo æe se oprostiti sužanj, neæe umrijeti u jami, niti æe biti bez hljeba.
The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die [and go down] into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
15 Jer sam ja Gospod Bog tvoj, koji raskidam more, da valovi njegovi buèe; Gospod nad vojskama ime mi je.
For I am the LORD thy God, which stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar: the LORD of hosts is his name.
16 Ja ti metnuh u usta rijeèi svoje i sjenom ruke svoje zaklonih te, da utvrdim nebesa i osnujem zemlju, i reèem Sionu: ti si moj narod.
And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
17 Probudi se, probudi se, ustani, Jerusalime! koji si pio iz ruke Gospodnje èašu gnjeva njegova, pio si, i talog iz strašne èaše ispio si.
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
18 Od svijeh sinova koje je rodio nijedan ga nije vodio, i od svijeh sinova koje je othranio nijedan ga nije prihvatio za ruku.
There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
19 Ovo te dvoje zadesi; ko te požali? Pustoš i rasap, i glad i maè; ko æe te utješiti?
These two things are befallen thee; who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?
20 Sinovi tvoji obamrli leže po krajevima svijeh ulica kao bivo u mreži puni gnjeva Gospodnjega, i karanja Boga tvojega.
Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the top of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
21 Zato èuj ovo, nevoljni, i pijani, ne od vina.
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22 Ovako veli Gospod tvoj, Gospod i Bog tvoj, koji brani svoj narod: evo uzimam iz tvoje ruke èašu strašnu, talog u èaši gnjeva svojega; neæeš više piti.
Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
23 Nego æu je dati u ruke onima koji te muèe, koji govoriše duši tvojoj: sagni se da prijeðemo, i ti si im podmetao leða svoja da budu kao zemlja i kao ulica onima koji prelaze.
and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.
