Isaiah 42
1 Behold, My servant, I take hold on Him, My Chosen One—My soul has accepted, I have put My Spirit on Him, He brings forth judgment to nations.
Evo sluge mojega, kojega podupirem, izbranika mojega, koji je mio duši mojoj; metnuæu duh svoj na njega, sud narodima javljaæe.
2 He does not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
Neæe vikati ni podizati, niti æe se èuti glas njegov po ulicama.
3 A bruised reed He does not break, And faded flax He does not quench, He brings forth judgment to truth.
Trske stuèene neæe prelomiti, i svještila koje se puši neæe ugasiti; javljaæe sud po istini.
4 He does not become weak nor bruised, Until He sets judgment in the earth, And islands wait with hope for His law.
Neæe mu dosaditi, niti æe se umoriti, dokle ne postavi sud na zemlji, i ostrva æe èekati nauku njegovu.
5 Thus said God, YHWH, Creating the heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking 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, YHWH, called you in righteousness, And I lay hold on your hand, and keep you, And I give you for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.
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 eyes of the blind, To bring forth the bound one from prison, Those sitting in darkness from the house of restraint.
Da otvoriš oèi slijepcima, da izvedeš sužnje iz zatvora i iz tamnice koji sjede u tami.
8 I [am] YHWH, this [is] My Name, And I do not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to carved images.
Ja sam Gospod, to je ime moje, i slave svoje neæu dati drugome ni hvale svoje likovima rezanijem.
9 The former things, behold, have come, And I am declaring new things, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
Evo, preðašnje doðe, i ja javljam novo, prije nego nastane kazujem vam.
10 Sing a new song to YHWH, His praise from the end of the earth, You who are going down to the sea, and its fullness, Islands, and their inhabitants.
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 The wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice], Kedar inhabits the villages, The inhabitants of Sela sing, They cry from the top of mountains.
Pustinja i gradovi njezini, sela gdje stanuje Kidar, neka podignu glas, neka pjevaju koji žive po stijenama, neka klikuju savrh gora.
12 They ascribe to YHWH glory, And they declare His praise in the islands.
Neka daju slavu Gospodu, i hvalu njegovu neka javljaju po ostrvima.
13 YHWH goes forth as a mighty one. He stirs up zeal as a man of war, He cries, indeed, He shrieks, He shows Himself mighty against His enemies.
Gospod æe izaæi kao junak, podignuæe revnost svoju kao vojnik, vikaæe i klikovati, nadvladaæe neprijatelje svoje.
14 I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain Myself, I cry out as a travailing woman, I desolate and swallow up 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 make desolate mountains and hills, And I dry up all their herbs, And I have made rivers become islands, And I dry up ponds.
Opustiæu gore i bregove, i svaku travu na njima osušiæu, i od rijeka æu naèiniti ostrva, i jezera æu isušiti.
16 And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, I cause them to tread in paths they have not known, I make a dark place become light before them, And unleveled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I 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 Removed backward—utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a carved image, Those saying to a molten image, “You [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 You deaf, hear; and you blind, look to see.
Èujte, gluhi; progledajte, slijepi, da vidite.
19 Who [is] blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Indeed, blind, as the servant of YHWH?
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 Seeing many things, and you do not observe, Opening ears, and he does not hear.
Gledaš mnogo, ali ne vidiš; otvorene su ti uši, ali ne èuješ.
21 YHWH has delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifies law, and makes honorable.
Gospodu bijaše mio radi pravde njegove, uèini zakon velikim i slavnim.
22 And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes—all of them, And they were hidden in houses of restraint, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, “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 among you gives ear [to] this? Attends, and hears afterward?
Ko izmeðu vas èuje ovo i pazi i sluša za poslije?
24 Who has given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not YHWH—He against whom we sinned? Indeed, they have not been willing to walk in His ways, Nor have they listened 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 pours fury on him, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it sets him on fire all around, And he has not known, And it burns against him, and he does not lay it 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.
