Isaiah 42
1 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
Evo sluge mojega, kojega podupirem, izbranika mojega, koji je mio duši mojoj; metnuæu duh svoj na njega, sud narodima javljaæe.
2 He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
Neæe vikati ni podizati, niti æe se èuti glas njegov po ulicama.
3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench, but he will bring forth justice in truth.
Trske stuèene neæe prelomiti, i svještila koje se puši neæe ugasiti; javljaæe sud po istini.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged till he has set justice in the earth. And in his name Gentiles will hope.
Neæe mu dosaditi, niti æe se umoriti, dokle ne postavi sud na zemlji, i ostrva æe èekati nauku njegovu.
5 Thus says God, Jehovah, he who created the heavens, and stretched them forth, he who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to the people upon it, and spirit to those who walk in it,
Ovako govori Bog Gospod, koji je stvorio nebesa i razapeo ih, koji je rasprostro zemlju i što ona raða, koji daje disanje narodu što je na njoj i duh onima što hode po njoj:
6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles,
Ja Gospod dozvah te u pravdi, i držaæu te za ruku, i èuvaæu te, i uèiniæu te da budeš zavjet narodu, vidjelo narodima;
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
Da otvoriš oèi slijepcima, da izvedeš sužnje iz zatvora i iz tamnice koji sjede u tami.
8 I am Jehovah. That is my name, and I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven images.
Ja sam Gospod, to je ime moje, i slave svoje neæu dati drugome ni hvale svoje likovima rezanijem.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and I declare new things. Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Evo, preðašnje doðe, i ja javljam novo, prije nego nastane kazujem vam.
10 Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Pjevajte Gospodu pjesmu novu, hvalu njegovu od kraja zemlje, koji se plavite po moru i sve što je u njemu, ostrva i koji živite na njima.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities of it lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Pustinja i gradovi njezini, sela gdje stanuje Kidar, neka podignu glas, neka pjevaju koji žive po stijenama, neka klikuju savrh gora.
12 Let them give glory to Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
Neka daju slavu Gospodu, i hvalu njegovu neka javljaju po ostrvima.
13 Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man. He will stir up his zeal like a man of war. He will cry, yea, he will shout aloud. He will do mightily against his enemies.
Gospod æe izaæi kao junak, podignuæe revnost svoju kao vojnik, vikaæe i klikovati, nadvladaæe neprijatelje svoje.
14 I have for a long time held my peace. I have been still, and refrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will gasp and pant together.
Muèah dugo, èinjah se gluh, ustezah se; ali æu sada vikati kao žena kad se poraða, i sve æu potrti i istrijebiti.
15 I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. And I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
Opustiæu gore i bregove, i svaku travu na njima osušiæu, i od rijeka æu naèiniti ostrva, i jezera æu isušiti.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not. I will lead them in paths that they know not. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do, and I will not forsake them.
I vodiæu slijepce putem kojega nijesu znali; vodiæu ih stazama kojih nijesu znali; obratiæu pred njima mrak u svjetlost i što je neravno u ravno. To æu im uèiniti, i neæu ih ostaviti.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, who trust in graven images, who say to molten images, Ye are our gods.
Tada æe se vratiti natrag i posramiti se koji se uzdaju u lik rezani, koji govore likovima livenijem: vi ste naši bogovi.
18 Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
Èujte, gluhi; progledajte, slijepi, da vidite.
19 Who is blind, but my servant, or deaf, as my messenger that I send? Who is blind as he who is at peace with me, and blind as Jehovah's servant?
Ko je slijep osim sluge mojega? i ko je gluh kao poslanik moj kojega šaljem? ko je slijep kao savršeni? ko je slijep kao sluga Gospodnji?
20 Thou see many things, but thou do not observe. His ears are open, but he does not hear.
Gledaš mnogo, ali ne vidiš; otvorene su ti uši, ali ne èuješ.
21 It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
Gospodu bijaše mio radi pravde njegove, uèini zakon velikim i slavnim.
22 But this is a people robbed and plundered. They are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses. They are for a prey, and none delivers, for a spoil, and none says, Restore.
A narod je oplijenjen i potlaèen, svi su koliki povezani u peæinama i sakriveni u tamnicama; postaše plijen, a nema nikoga da bi izbavio; postaše grabež, a nema nikoga da bi rekao: vrati.
23 Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will hearken and hear for the time to come?
Ko izmeðu vas èuje ovo i pazi i sluša za poslije?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not Jehovah? He against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, nor were they obedient to his law.
Ko je dao Jakova da se potlaèi i Izrailja otimaèima? Nije li Gospod, kojemu zgriješismo? Jer ne htješe hoditi putovima njegovijem niti slušaše zakona njegova.
25 Therefore he poured upon him the fierceness of his anger, and the strength of battle. And it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not. And it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
Zato izli na njih žestoku jarost svoju i silan rat, i zapali ga unaokolo, ali on ne razumje; zapali ga, ali on ne mari.
