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.
"Look, my servant I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.
2 Ne bo vpil, niti povzdignil [glasu], niti svojemu glasu ne bo povzročil, da bi bil slišan na ulici.
He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 Poškodovanega trsta ne bo zlomil in kadečega stenja ne bo ugasnil. Sodbo bo privedel k resnici.
He won't break a bruised reed. And he won't extinguish a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
4 Ne bo opešal niti ne bo izgubil poguma, dokler ne postavi sodbe na zemlji in otoki bodo čakali na njegovo postavo.
He will not grow dim or be crushed, until he has established justice on the earth, and in his name the coastlands will hope."
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 God, the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in 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, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations;
7 da odpreš slepe oči, da privedeš jetnike iz ječe in te, ki sedijo v temi, ven iz jetnišnice.
to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
8 Jaz sem Gospod. To je moje ime in svoje slave ne bom dal drugemu niti svoje hvale rezanim podobam.
"I am the LORD. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
9 Glej, prejšnje stvari so se zgodile in razglašam nove stvari. Preden vzbrstijo ti povem o njih.«
Look, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up."
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 to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the remotest parts of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 Naj divjina in njena mesta dvignejo svoj glas, vasi, ki jih naseljuje Kedár. Naj skalni prebivalci pojejo, naj zavpijejo z vrhov gora.
Let the desert and its cities cry out, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Naj dajo slavo Gospodu in razglašajo njegovo hvalo na otokih.
Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise 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 will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over 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 a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
15 Opustošil bom gore in hribe in posušil vsa njihova zelišča in reke bom naredil otoke in posušil bom ribnike.
I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will 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.
I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I 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.‹
"Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, 'You are our gods' will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
18 Poslušajte, vi gluhi, in glejte, vi slepi, da boste lahko videli.
"Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may 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?
Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as the LORD's servant?
20 Gleda mnoge stvari, toda ti jih ne obeležuješ; odpira ušesa, toda on ne sliši.
You see many things, but do not observe. His ears are open, but he doesn't listen.
21 Gospod je zelo zadovoljen zaradi svoje pravičnosti; poveličeval bo postavo in jo naredil častitljivo.
It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
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.‹
But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become a prey, and no one delivers; and a spoil, and no one says, 'Restore them.'
23 Kdo izmed vas bo temu pazljivo prisluhnil? Kdo bo prisluhnil in slišal za čas, ki pride?
Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
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.
Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed 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.«
Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire all around, but he did not know; and it burned him, but he did not take it to heart."
