Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment 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 shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.
Neæe vikati ni podizati, niti æe se èuti glas njegov po ulicama.
3 The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
Trske stuèene neæe prelomiti, i svještila koje se puši neæe ugasiti; javljaæe sud po istini.
4 He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.
Neæe mu dosaditi, niti æe se umoriti, dokle ne postavi sud na zemlji, i ostrva æe èekati nauku njegovu.
5 Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.
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 the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given 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 That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that 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 the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
Ja sam Gospod, to je ime moje, i slave svoje neæu dati drugome ni hvale svoje likovima rezanijem.
9 The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them.
Evo, preðašnje doðe, i ja javljam novo, prije nego nastane kazujem vam.
10 Sing ye to the Lora a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and all that are therein: ye islands, and ye inhabitants of them.
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 desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry 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 They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.
Neka daju slavu Gospodu, i hvalu njegovu neka javljaju po ostrvima.
13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies.
Gospod æe izaæi kao junak, podignuæe revnost svoju kao vojnik, vikaæe i klikovati, nadvladaæe neprijatelje svoje.
14 I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.
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 the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing 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 lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken 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 are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.
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, ye blind, behold that you may see.
Èujte, gluhi; progledajte, slijepi, da vidite.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord?
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 that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear?
Gledaš mnogo, ali ne vidiš; otvorene su ti uši, ali ne èuješ.
21 And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it.
Gospodu bijaše mio radi pravde njegove, uèini zakon velikim i slavnim.
22 But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: 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 attend and hearken for times to come?
Ko izmeðu vas èuje ovo i pazi i sluša za poslije?
24 Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened 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 And he hath poured out upon him the indignation of his fury, and a strong battle, and hath burnt him round about, and he knew not: and set him on fire, and he understood not.
Zato izli na njih žestoku jarost svoju i silan rat, i zapali ga unaokolo, ali on ne razumje; zapali ga, ali on ne mari.
