Izaija 42
1 Glej, moj služabnik, ki ga podpiram; moj izvoljeni, v katerem se moja duša razveseljuje; svojega duha sem položil nanj. Oznanil bo sodbo poganom.
Jacob is my servant, I will help him: Israel is my chosen, my soul has accepted him; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgement to the Gentiles.
2 Ne bo vpil, niti povzdignil [glasu], niti svojemu glasu ne bo povzročil, da bi bil slišan na ulici.
He shall not cry, nor lift up [his voice], nor shall his voice be heard without.
3 Poškodovanega trsta ne bo zlomil in kadečega stenja ne bo ugasnil. Sodbo bo privedel k resnici.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench; but he shall bring forth judgement to truth.
4 Ne bo opešal niti ne bo izgubil poguma, dokler ne postavi sodbe na zemlji in otoki bodo čakali na njegovo postavo.
He shall shine out, and shall not be discouraged, until he have set judgement on the earth: and in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
5 Tako govori Gospod Bog, ki je ustvaril nebesa in jih razpel; ki je razprostrl zemljo in to, kar prihaja iz nje; on, ki daje dih ljudstvu na njej in duha tem, ki hodijo po njej:
Thus says the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:
6 »Jaz, Gospod, sem te poklical v pravičnosti in držal bom tvojo roko in te varoval in dam te za zavezo ljudstvu, za svetlobo poganom,
I the Lord God have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will strengthen you: and I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 da odpreš slepe oči, da privedeš jetnike iz ječe in te, ki sedijo v temi, ven iz jetnišnice.
to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.
8 Jaz sem Gospod. To je moje ime in svoje slave ne bom dal drugemu niti svoje hvale rezanim podobam.
I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.
9 Glej, prejšnje stvari so se zgodile in razglašam nove stvari. Preden vzbrstijo ti povem o njih.«
Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and [so will] the new things which I tell you: yes, before I tell [them] they are made known to you.
10 Zapojte Gospodu novo pesem in njegovo hvalo s konca zemlje, vi, ki greste dol do morja in vse, kar je v njem, otoki in njegovi prebivalci.
Sing a new hymn to the Lord: you [who are] his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.
11 Naj divjina in njena mesta dvignejo svoj glas, vasi, ki jih naseljuje Kedár. Naj skalni prebivalci pojejo, naj zavpijejo z vrhov gora.
Rejoice, you wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Naj dajo slavo Gospodu in razglašajo njegovo hvalo na otokih.
They shall give glory to God, [and] shall proclaim his praises in the islands.
13 Gospod bo šel naprej kakor mogočen mož, ljubosumnost bo razvnel kakor bojevnik. Vpil bo, da, rjovel, prevladal bo zoper svoje sovražnike.
The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy, and shall shout mightily against his enemies.
14 »Dolgo časa sem zadrževal svoj mir, bil sem tiho in se zadrževal. Sedaj [pa] bom vpil kakor ženska v porodnih mukah; hkrati bom uničil in požrl.
I have been silent: shall I also always be silent and forbear: I have endured like a travailing [woman]: I will [now] amaze and wither at once.
15 Opustošil bom gore in hribe in posušil vsa njihova zelišča in reke bom naredil otoke in posušil bom ribnike.
I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.
16 Privedel bom slepe po poti, ki je niso poznali, vodil jih bom po stezah, ki jih niso poznali. Temo pred njimi bom naredil svetlobo in skrivljene stvari ravne. Te stvari jim bom storil in ne bom jih zapustil.
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.
17 Obrnjeni bodo nazaj, silno bodo osramočeni tisti, ki zaupajo v rezane podobe, ki ulitim podobam pravijo: ›Vi ste naši bogovi.‹
But they are turned back: be you utterly ashamed that trust in graven [images], who say to the molten [images], You are our gods.
18 Poslušajte, vi gluhi, in glejte, vi slepi, da boste lahko videli.
Hear, you deaf, and look up, you blind, to see.
19 Kdo je slep, razen mojega služabnika? Ali gluh kakor moj poslanec, ki sem ga poslal? Kdo je slep, kakor kdor je popoln in slep kakor Gospodov služabnik?
And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yes, the servants of God have been made blind.
20 Gleda mnoge stvari, toda ti jih ne obeležuješ; odpira ušesa, toda on ne sliši.
You have often seen, and have not taken heed; [your] ears have been opened, and you have not heard.
21 Gospod je zelo zadovoljen zaradi svoje pravičnosti; poveličeval bo postavo in jo naredil častitljivo.
The Lord God has taken counsel that he might be justified, and might magnify [his] praise.
22 Toda to je ljudstvo, oropano in oplenjeno; vsi izmed njih so ujeti v luknje in skriti v jetnišnicah. Za plen so in nihče ne osvobaja; za ukradeno blago in nihče ne reče: ›Povrni.‹
And I saw, and the people were spoiled and plundered: for [there is] a snare in the secret chambers everywhere, and in the houses also, where they have hidden them: they became a spoil, and there was no one that delivered the prey, and there was none who said, Restore.
23 Kdo izmed vas bo temu pazljivo prisluhnil? Kdo bo prisluhnil in slišal za čas, ki pride?
Who [is there] amongst you that will give ear to these things? listen you to the things which are coming to pass.
24 Kdo je Jakoba izročil v plen in Izraela roparjem? Mar ne Gospod, on, zoper katerega smo grešili? Kajti niso želeli hoditi po njegovih poteh niti niso bili poslušni njegovi postavi.
For what did he give to Jacob up to spoil, and Israel to them that plundered him? Did not God [do it] against whom they sinned? [and] they would not walk in his ways, nor listen to his law.
25 Zato je nanj izlil razjarjenost svoje jeze in moč bitke. To ga je vžgalo vsenaokoli, vendar ni vedel. To ga je žgalo, vendar si tega ni vzel k srcu.«
So he brought upon them the fury of his wrath; and the war, and those that burnt round about them, prevailed against them; yet no one of them knew [it], neither did they lay [it] to heart.
