Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, [but] not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Poslušajte to, oh hiša Jakobova, ki ste imenovani z imenom Izrael in ste izšli iz Judovih vodá, ki prisegate pri Gospodovem imenu in omenjate Izraelovega Boga, vendar ne v resnici niti ne v pravičnosti.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts [is] his name.
Kajti imenujejo se po svetem mestu in se naslanjajo na Izraelovega Boga; Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth from my mouth, and I showed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.
Razglasil sem prejšnje stvari od začetka in izšle so iz mojih ust in pokazal sem jih; nenadoma sem jih naredil in zgodile so se.
4 Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
Ker sem vedel, da si trdovratna in je tvoj vrat železna kita in tvoja obrv bron,
5 I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee; before it came to pass I showed [it] thee: lest thou shouldst say, My idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
sem ti to celo od začetka razglasil; preden se je zgodilo, sem ti to pokazal, da ne bi rekla: ›Moj malik jih je naredil, moja rezana podoba in moja ulita podoba jim je zapovedala.‹
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare [it]? I have showed ye new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
Slišal si, videl si vse to in ali ne boš tega razglasil? Od tega časa sem ti pokazal nove stvari, celo skrite stvari in ti jih nisi poznal.
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardst them not; lest thou shouldst say, Behold, I knew them.
Sedaj so ustvarjene in ne od začetka; celo pred dnevom, ko jih nisi slišal, da ne bi rekel: »Glej, poznal sem jih.«
8 Yes, thou heardst not; yes, thou knewest not; yes, from that time [that] thy ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldst deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
Da, ne slišiš; da, ne poznaš; da, od tistega časa, ko tvoje uho ni bilo odprto, kajti vedel sem, da boš postopal zelo zahrbtno in si bil od maternice imenovan prestopnik.
9 For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
Zaradi svojega imena bom odložil svojo jezo in zaradi svoje hvale se bom zadržal, da te ne odsekam.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Glej, prečistil sem te, toda ne s srebrom; izbral sem te v talilni peči stiske.
11 For my own sake, [even] for my own sake, will I do [it]: for how should [my name] be profaned? and I will not give my glory to another.
Zaradi sebe, celó zaradi sebe, bom to storil, kajti kako bi bilo moje ime umazano? In svoje slave ne bom dal drugemu.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.
Prisluhni mi, oh Jakob in Izrael, moj poklicani; jaz sem; jaz sem prvi, jaz sem tudi zadnji.
13 My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: [when] I call to them, they stand up together.
Moja roka je tudi položila temelj zemlji in moja desnica je razpela nebo. Ko kličem k njima, skupaj vstaneta.
14 All ye, assemble yourselves and hear; who among them hath declared these [things]? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm [shall be on] the Chaldeans.
Vsi vi, zberite se in poslušajte; kdo izmed njih je razglasil te stvari? Gospod ga je ljubil. Storil bo, kar mu ugaja nad Babilonom in njegov laket bo na Kaldejcih.
15 I, [even] I, have spoken, yes, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Jaz, celó jaz, sem govoril. Da, poklical sem ga. Privedel sem ga in svojo pot bo naredil uspešno.
16 Come ye near to me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there [am] I: and now the LORD God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
Pridite blizu k meni, poslušajte to; od začetka nisem govoril na skrivnem; od časa, ko je to bilo, tam jaz sem. In sedaj me je poslal Gospod Bog in njegov Duh.«
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I [am] the LORD thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way [that] thou shouldst go.
Tako govori Gospod, tvoj Odkupitelj, Sveti Izraelov: »Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki te učim, da boš imel koristi, ki te vodim po poti, po kateri naj bi šel.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Oh, da bi prisluhnil mojim zapovedim! Potem bi bil tvoj mir kakor reka in tvoja pravičnost kakor morski valovi.
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like its gravel; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Tudi tvojega semena bi bilo kakor peska in potomstvo tvoje notranjosti podobno njegovemu gramozu; njegovo ime ne bi bilo odrezano niti uničeno izpred mene.
20 Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Pojdite naprej iz Babilona, pobegnite od Kaldejcev, z glasom petja razglasite, povejte to, izustite to celó do konca zemlje. Recite: › Gospod je odkupil svojega služabnika Jakoba.‹
21 And they thirsted not, [when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he cleaved the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Niso bili žejni, ko jih je vodil skozi puščave. Zanje je vodam veleval, da tečejo iz skale. Razklal je tudi skalo in iz nje so pridrle vode.
22 [There is] no peace, saith the LORD, to the wicked.
Tam ni miru, « govori Gospod, »zlobnemu.«
