Izaija 50
1 Tako govori Gospod: »Kje je ločitveni list vaše matere, ki sem jo odslovil? Ali kateri izmed mojih upnikov je ta, h kateremu sem vas prodal? Glejte, zaradi svojih krivičnosti ste se sami prodali in zaradi vaših prestopkov je vaša mati odslovljena.
This is [also] what Yahweh says: “You [Israeli children], do not think [RHQ] that I [forced your parents to be exiled/taken to Babylonia] [MET] like some men send away their wives after giving them a paper on which they state that they were divorcing them! I certainly did not [RHQ] get rid of you like a man who sells his children to get money to pay what he owes. No, the reason that I forced you to be exiled [was to punish you] because of the sins that you have committed [DOU].
2 Zakaj ni bilo človeka, ko sem prišel? Ko sem klical ni bilo nobenega, da odgovori? Mar je moja roka precej skrajšana, da ne more odkupiti? Mar nimam moči, da osvobodim? Glejte, ob svoji graji posušim morje, reke naredim za divjino. Njihove ribe zaudarjajo, ker tam ni vode in poginjajo zaradi žeje.
When I came to you [to rescue you], why did no one answer when I called out to you [RHQ]? Was there no one there [RHQ]? Or, did you think that I do not have the power [MTY] to rescue you [DOU]? Think about this: I can speak to a sea and cause it to become dry! I can cause rivers to become deserts, with the result that the fish in the rivers die from thirst and they rot.
3 Jaz obláčim nebo s črnino in vrečevino delam [za] njihovo pokrivalo.
I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”
4 Gospod Bog mi je dal jezik učenega, da bi vedel kako ob pravem času govoriti besedo tistemu, ki je izmučen. Zbuja [me] jutro za jutrom, on zbuja moje uho, da slišim kakor učeni.
Yahweh our God has given me his wise message [MTY] in order that I may encourage those who are weary. Each morning he awakens me, in order that I [SYN] may listen to what he teaches [SIM] me.
5 Gospod Bog mi je odprl moje uho in nisem bil uporen, niti se nisem odvrnil nazaj.
Yahweh our God has spoken to me [IDM], and I have not rejected what he told me; I have accepted [LIT] it.
6 Svoj hrbet sem dal tistim, ki so me udarjali in svoja lica tistim, ki so mi pulili brado. Svojega obraza nisem skril pred sramoto in pljuvanjem.
I allowed people to beat me on my back and to pull out the whiskers in my beard [because they hated me]. I did not turn away [MTY] from them when they made fun of me and spat on me.
7 Kajti Gospod Bog mi bo pomagal, zato ne bom zbegan. Zato sem svoj obraz naravnal kakor kremen in vem, da ne bom osramočen.
But, because the Lord our God helps me, I will never be humiliated. Therefore, I am strongly determined [IDM] to face/endure difficulties, and I know that nothing will cause me to be ashamed.
8 Blizu je ta, ki me opravičuje. Kdo se bo spoprijel z menoj? Stopiva skupaj. Kdo je moj nasprotnik? Naj pride bliže k meni.
God, the one who vindicates me, is near to me; so if anyone [RHQ] stands in front of me and accuses me in a court, he will not be able [to show that I have done anything that is wrong].
9 Glej, Gospod Bog mi bo pomagal; kdo je tisti, ki me bo obsojal? Glej, vsi se bodo postarali kakor obleka, molj jih bo požrl.
The Lord our God defends me [in court], so no one [RHQ] will be able to (condemn me/declare that I am guilty). All those who accuse me will disappear like [SIM] old clothes that have been eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches).
10 Kdo je med vami, ki se boji Gospoda, ki uboga glas svojega služabnika, ki hodi v temi in nima svetlobe? Naj zaupa v Gospodovo ime in se naslanja na svojega Boga.
If you revere Yahweh and do what his servant tells you to do, even if you are (walking in darkness/enduring suffering), and it seems that [MET] there is no light, trust in Yahweh your God [DOU] [to help you].
11 Glejte, vsi vi, ki prižigate ogenj, ki se naokrog obdajate z iskrami. Hodite v svetlobi svojega ognja in v iskrah, ki ste jih vžgali. To boste imeli od moje roke; ulegli se boste v bridkosti.
But you people who [oppose me], [who would like to throw] me into a blazing fire, walk in your own fires and burn yourselves with your own torches! This is what Yahweh will cause to happen to you: You will be enduring great torment when you die [EUP]!
