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 to the rock from which ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which ye are dug.
2 Pogledajte Avrama, oca svojega, i Saru, koja vas je rodila, kako ga inokosna pozvah i blagoslovih ga i umnožih ga.
Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
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 shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found in it, 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.
Hearken to me, my people; and give ear to me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
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 my arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on my 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 become old like a garment, and its inhabitants 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 to me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of 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 like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
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 thy strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not that which hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
10 Nijesi li ti isušila more, vodu bezdana velikoga, od dubine morske naèinila put da proðu izbavljeni?
Art thou not that which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed 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.
Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and mourning 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 shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man who 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 forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were 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 hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
15 Jer sam ja Gospod Bog tvoj, koji raskidam more, da valovi njegovi buèe; Gospod nad vojskama ime mi je.
But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: 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 my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to 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 drank the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
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 have come to thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and famine, and the sword: by whom 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 head of all the streets, as a wild bull 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 drunk, 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 Jehovah, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs 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.
But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
