Isaiah 49

1 Listen, islands, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: Jehovah has called me from the womb; from the body of my mother has he made mention of my name:

Poslušajte me, ostrva, i pazite, narodi daljni. Gospod me pozva od utrobe; od utrobe matere moje pomenu ime moje.

2 and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me; and he has made me a polished arrow, in his quiver has he kept me close:

I uèinio je usta moja da su kao oštar maè, u sjenu ruke svoje sakri me; uèinio me je sjajnom strijelom, i u tulu svojem sakri me.

3 and he said to me, "You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified."

I reèe mi: ti si sluga moj, u Izrailju æu se tobom proslaviti.

4 But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with Jehovah, and my reward with my God."

A ja rekoh: uzalud se trudih, uzalud i naprazno potroših silu svoju; ali opet sud je moj u Gospoda i posao moj u Boga mojega.

5 Now says Jehovah who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him; for I am honorable in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God has become my strength.

A sada govori Gospod, koji me je sazdao od utrobe materine da sam mu sluga, da mu dovedem natrag Jakova; ako se Izrailj i ne sabere, opet æu se proslaviti pred Gospodom, i Bog æe moj biti sila moja.

6 And he says, "Is it too insignificant a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel? I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth."

I reèe mi: malo je da mi budeš sluga da se podigne pleme Jakovljevo i da se vrati ostatak Izrailjev, nego te uèinih vidjelom narodima da budeš moje spasenje do krajeva zemaljskih.

7 Thus says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to the one who is despised, to those abhorred as a nation, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Jehovah who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."

Ovako veli Gospod, izbavitelj Izrailjev, svetac njegov, onome kojega preziru, na koga se gadi narod, sluzi onijeh koji gospodare: carevi æe vidjeti i ustati, i knezovi æe se pokloniti radi Gospoda, koji je vjeran, radi sveca Izrailjeva, koji te je izabrao.

8 Thus says Jehovah, "In an acceptable time I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you as a covenant to the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:

Ovako veli Gospod: u vrijeme milosno usliših te, i u dan spasenja pomogoh ti; i èuvaæu te i daæu te da budeš zavjet narodu da utvrdiš zemlju i naslijediš opustjelo našljedstvo;

9 saying to those who are bound, 'Come out.'; to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.

Da kažeš sužnjima: izidite; onima koji su u mraku: pokažite se. Oni æe pokraj putova pasti, i paša æe im biti po svijem visokim mjestima.

10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.

Neæe biti gladni ni žedni, neæe ih biti vruæina ni sunce; jer kome ih je žao, on æe ih voditi, i pokraj izvora vodenijeh provodiæe ih.

11 I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

I sve gore svoje obratiæu u putove, i staze æe moje biti povišene.

12 Look, these shall come from far; and look, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Syene."

Gle, ovi æe iz daleka doæi, gle, i oni od sjevera i od zapada, i oni iz zemlje Sinske.

13 Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for Jehovah has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.

Pjevajte, nebesa, i veseli se, zemljo, podvikujte, gore, veselo; jer Gospod utješi svoj narod, i na nevoljnike svoje smilova se.

14 But Zion said, "Jehovah has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me."

Ali Sion reèe: ostavi me Gospod, i zaboravi me Gospod.

15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you.

Može li žena zaboraviti porod svoj da se ne smiluje na èedo utrobe svoje? A da bi ga i zaboravila, ja neæu zaboraviti tebe.

16 Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.

Gle, na dlanovima sam te izrezao; zidovi su tvoji jednako preda mnom.

17 Your builders hurry; your destroyers and those who devastated you shall depart from you.

Pohitjeæe sinovi tvoji, a koji te raskopavaše i pustošiše, otiæi æe od tebe.

18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live," says Jehovah, "you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.

Podigni oèi svoje unaokolo, i vidi: svi se oni skupljaju i idu k tebi. Tako bio ja živ, veli Gospod, svjema njima kao nakitom zaodjenuæeš se, i uresiæeš se njima kao nevjesta.

19 "For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.

Jer razvaline tvoje i pustoline i potrvena zemlja tvoja biæe tada tijesna za stanovnike kad se udalje oni koji te proždiraše.

20 The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell.

I djeca koju æeš imati, pošto si bila bez djece, reæi æe da èuješ: tijesno mi je ovo mjesto, pomakni se da se mogu nastaniti.

21 Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Look, I was left alone; these, where were they?'"

A ti æeš reæi u srcu svom: ko mi ih rodi, jer bijah sirota i inokosna, zarobljena i prognana? i ko ih othrani? eto, ja bijah ostala sama, a gdje oni bijahu?

22 Thus says the Lord Jehovah, "Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo, podignuæu ruku svoju k narodima, i k plemenima æu podignuti zastavu svoju, i donijeæe sinove tvoje u naruèju, i kæeri tvoje na ramenima æe se nositi.

23 Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Jehovah; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."

I carevi æe biti hranitelji tvoji i carice njihove tvoje dojkinje, i klanjaæe ti se licem do zemlje, i prah s nogu tvojih lizaæe, i poznaæeš da sam ja Gospod, i da se neæe osramotiti oni koji mene èekaju.

24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?

Hoæe li se junaku uzeti plijen i hoæe li se oteti roblje pravednomu?

25 But thus says Jehovah, "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.

Jer ovako govori Gospod: i roblje junaku uzeæe se i plijen jakomu oteæe se, jer æu se ja preti s onima koji se s tobom pru, i sinove tvoje ja æu izbaviti;

26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."

I koji ti krivo èine, nahraniæu ih njihovijem mesom i opiæe se svojom krvlju kao novijem vinom; i poznaæe svako tijelo da sam ja Gospod spasitelj tvoj i izbavitelj tvoj, jaki Bog Jakovljev.
