Isaija 63
1 Ko je ono što ide iz Edoma, iz Vosora, u crvenijem haljinama? krasno odjeven, koraèajuæi u velièini sile svoje? Ja sam, koji govorim pravdu i vrijedan sam spasti.
[I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”
2 Zašto ti je crveno odijelo i haljine ti kao u onoga koji gazi u kaci?
[I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”
3 Gazih sam u kaci, i niko izmeðu naroda ne bješe sa mnom; ali ih izgazih u gnjevu svom i potlaèih u ljutini svojoj; i krv njihova poprska mi haljine i iskaljah sve odijelo svoje.
[He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.
4 Jer je dan od osvete u srcu mom, i doðe godina da se moji iskupe.
I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].
5 Pogledah, a nikoga ne bješe da pomože, i zaèudih se što nikoga ne bješe da podupre; ali me desnica moja izbavi i jarost moja poduprije me.
I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.
6 I izgazih narode u gnjevu svom, i opojih ih jarošæu svojom, i prolih na zemlju krv njihovu.
Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”
7 Pominjaæu dobrotu Gospodnju, hvalu Gospodnju za sve što nam je uèinio Gospod, i mnoštvo dobra što je uèinio domu Izrailjevu po milosti svojoj i po velikoj dobroti svojoj.
I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.
8 Jer reèe: doista su moj narod, sinovi, koji neæe iznevjeriti. I bi im spasitelj.
Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
9 U svakoj tuzi njihovoj on bješe tužan, i anðeo, koji je pred njim, spase ih. Ljubavi svoje radi i milosti svoje radi on ih izbavi, i podiže ih i nosi ih sve vrijeme.
When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].
10 Ali se odmetaše i žalostiše sveti duh njegov; zato im posta neprijatelj, i ratova na njih.
But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.
11 Ali se opomenu starijeh vremena, Mojsija, naroda svojega: gdje je onaj koji ih izvede iz mora s pastirem stada svojega? gdje je onaj što metnu usred njih sveti duh svoj?
Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?
12 Koji ih vodi slavnom mišicom svojom za desnicu Mojsijevu? koji razdvoji vodu pred njima, da steèe sebi vjeèno ime?
Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?
13 Koji ih vodi preko bezdana kao konja preko pustinje, da se ne spotakoše?
Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.
14 Duh Gospodnji vodi ih tiho, kao kad stoka slazi u dolinu; tako si vodio svoj narod da steèeš sebi slavno ime.
They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”
15 Pogledaj s neba, i vidi iz stana svetinje svoje i slave svoje, gdje je revnost tvoja i sila tvoja, mnoštvo milosrða tvojega i milosti tvoje? eda li æe se meni ustegnuti?
[Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.
16 Ti si zaista otac naš, ako i ne zna Avram za nas, i Izrailj nas ne poznaje; ti si, Gospode, otac naš, ime ti je otkako je vijeka izbavitelj naš.
You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.
17 Zašto si nam dao da zaðemo, Gospode, s putova tvojih? da nam otvrdne srce da te se ne bojimo? Vrati se radi sluga svojih, radi plemena našljedstva svojega.
Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.
18 Za malo naslijedi narod svetosti tvoje; neprijatelji naši pogaziše svetinju tvoju.
We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
19 Postasmo kao oni kojima nijesi nigda vladao niti je prizivano ime tvoje nad njima.
Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
