Isaija 45
1 Ovako govori Gospod pomazaniku svojemu Kiru, kojega držim za desnicu, da oborim pred njim narode i careve raspašem, da se otvoraju vrata pred njim i da ne budu vrata zatvorena:
Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 Ja æu iæi pred tobom, i putove neravne poravniæu, vrata mjedena razbiæu i prijevornice gvozdene slomiæu.
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 I daæu ti blago tajno i bogatstvo sakriveno, da poznaš da sam ja Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji te zovem po imenu.
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call [thee] by thy name, [am] the God of Israel.
4 Radi sluge svojega Jakova i Izrailja izbranika svojega prozvah te imenom tvojim i prezimenom, premda me ne znaš.
For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5 Ja sam Gospod, i nema drugoga, osim mene nema boga; opasah te, premda me ne znaš,
I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 Da bi poznali od istoka sunèanoga i od zapada da nema drugoga osim mene; ja sam Gospod i nema drugoga,
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else.
7 Koji pravim svjetlost i stvaram mrak, gradim mir i stvaram zlo; ja Gospod èinim sve to.
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
8 Rosite, nebesa, ozgo, i oblaci neka kaplju pravdom, neka se otvori zemlja i neka rodi spasenjem i zajedno neka uzraste pravda; ja Gospod stvorih to.
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 Teško onom ko se svaða s tvorcem svojim; crijep s drugim crepovima neka se svaða; ali hoæe li kao reæi lonèaru svojemu: šta radiš? za tvoj posao nema ruku.
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Teško onom ko govori ocu: što raðaš? i ženi: što se poraðaš?
Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Ovako veli Gospod svetac Izrailjev i tvorac njegov: pitajte me što æe biti; za sinove moje i za djelo ruku mojih nareðujte mi.
Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12 Ja sam naèinio zemlju i èovjeka na njoj stvorio, ja sam razapeo nebesa svojim rukama, i svoj vojsci njihovoj dao zapovijest.
I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 Ja ga podigoh u pravdi, i sve putove njegove poravniæu; on æe sazidati moj grad i roblje moje otpustiæe, ne za novce ni za darove, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
14 Ovako veli Gospod: trud Misirski i trgovina Etiopska i Savaca ljudi visoka rasta doæi æe k tebi i biti tvoja; za tobom æe pristati, u okovima æe iæi, i tebi æe se klanjati, tebi æe se moliti govoreæi: doista, Bog je u tebi, i nema drugoga Boga.
Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, [saying], Surely God [is] in thee; and [there is] none else, [there is] no God.
15 Da, ti si Bog, koji se kriješ, Bog Izrailjev, spasitelj.
Verily thou [art] a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 Oni æe se svi postidjeti i posramiti, otiæi æe sa sramotom svikoliki koji grade likove.
They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together [that are] makers of idols.
17 A Izrailja æe spasti Gospod spasenjem vjeènijem, neæete se postidjeti niti æete se osramotiti dovijeka.
[But] Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 Jer ovako veli Gospod, koji je stvorio nebo, Bog, koji je sazdao zemlju i naèinio je i utvrdio, i nije je stvorio naprazno, nego je naèinio da se na njoj nastava: ja sam Gospod, i nema drugoga.
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.
19 Nijesam govorio tajno ni na mraènu mjestu na zemlji, nijesam rekao sjemenu Jakovljevu: tražite me uzalud. Ja Gospod govorim pravdu, javljam što je pravo.
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Skupite se i doðite, pristupite svi koji ste se izbavili izmeðu naroda. Ništa ne znaju koji nose drvo od svojega lika i mole se bogu koji ne može pomoæi.
Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye [that are] escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god [that] cannot save.
21 Oglasite, i dovedite, neka vijeæaju zajedno: ko je to od starine kazao? ko je javio još onda? Nijesam li ja, Gospod? Nema osim mene drugoga Boga, nema Boga pravednoga i spasitelja drugoga osim mene.
Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me.
22 Pogledajte u mene, i spašæete se svi krajevi zemaljski; jer sam ja Bog, i nema drugoga.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else.
23 Sobom se zakleh; izide iz usta mojih rijeè pravedna, i neæe se poreæi, da æe mi se pokloniti svako koljeno, i zaklinjati se svaki jezik,
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 I govoriæe: u Gospodu je pravda i sila; k njemu æe doæi; ali æe se posramiti svi koji se gnjeve na nj.
Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: [even] to him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 U Gospodu æe se opravdati i proslaviti sve sjeme Izrailjevo.
In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
