Isaiah 42
1 “Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
Glej, moj služabnik, ki ga podpiram; moj izvoljeni, v katerem se moja duša razveseljuje; svojega duha sem položil nanj. Oznanil bo sodbo poganom.
2 He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
Ne bo vpil, niti povzdignil [glasu], niti svojemu glasu ne bo povzročil, da bi bil slišan na ulici.
3 He will not break a bruised reed. He will not quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
Poškodovanega trsta ne bo zlomil in kadečega stenja ne bo ugasnil. Sodbo bo privedel k resnici.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice in the earth, and the islands wait for his law.”
Ne bo opešal niti ne bo izgubil poguma, dokler ne postavi sodbe na zemlji in otoki bodo čakali na njegovo postavo.
5 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, says:
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:
6 “I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness. I will hold your hand. I will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations,
»Jaz, Gospod, sem te poklical v pravičnosti in držal bom tvojo roko in te varoval in dam te za zavezo ljudstvu, za svetlobo poganom,
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
da odpreš slepe oči, da privedeš jetnike iz ječe in te, ki sedijo v temi, ven iz jetnišnice.
8 “I am the LORD. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
Jaz sem Gospod. To je moje ime in svoje slave ne bom dal drugemu niti svoje hvale rezanim podobam.
9 Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”
Glej, prejšnje stvari so se zgodile in razglašam nove stvari. Preden vzbrstijo ti povem o njih.«
10 Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants.
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.
11 Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains!
Naj divjina in njena mesta dvignejo svoj glas, vasi, ki jih naseljuje Kedár. Naj skalni prebivalci pojejo, naj zavpijejo z vrhov gora.
12 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Naj dajo slavo Gospodu in razglašajo njegovo hvalo na otokih.
13 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.
Gospod bo šel naprej kakor mogočen mož, ljubosumnost bo razvnel kakor bojevnik. Vpil bo, da, rjovel, prevladal bo zoper svoje sovražnike.
14 “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.
»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.
15 I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
Opustošil bom gore in hribe in posušil vsa njihova zelišča in reke bom naredil otoke in posušil bom ribnike.
16 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.
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.
17 “Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
Obrnjeni bodo nazaj, silno bodo osramočeni tisti, ki zaupajo v rezane podobe, ki ulitim podobam pravijo: ›Vi ste naši bogovi.‹
18 “Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
Poslušajte, vi gluhi, in glejte, vi slepi, da boste lahko videli.
19 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?
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?
20 You see many things, but do not observe. His ears are open, but he does not listen.
Gleda mnoge stvari, toda ti jih ne obeležuješ; odpira ušesa, toda on ne sliši.
21 It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law and make it honorable.
Gospod je zelo zadovoljen zaradi svoje pravičnosti; poveličeval bo postavo in jo naredil častitljivo.
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become captives, and no one delivers, and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
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.‹
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
Kdo izmed vas bo temu pazljivo prisluhnil? Kdo bo prisluhnil in slišal za čas, ki pride?
24 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.
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.
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle. It set him on fire all around, but he did not know. It burned him, but he did not take it to heart.”
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.«
