Izaija 50
1 Ovako govori Jahve: “Gdje je otpusno pismo vaše matere kojim sam je otpustio? Ili tko je od mojih vjerovnika taj komu sam vas prodao? Zbog bezakonja ste svojih prodani, zbog nevjere je mati vaša otpuštena.
Thus says the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have you sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2 Zašto ne nađoh nikoga kad sam došao? Zašto se ne odazva nitko kad sam zazvao? Zar mi je ruka prekratka da izbavi, ili u meni snage nema da oslobodim? Gle, prijetnjom svojom isušujem more, u pustinje rijeke pretvaram; njihove se ribe raspadaju jer vode nema i od žeđi ugibaju.
Why, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinks, because there is no water, and dies for thirst.
3 Nebesa oblačim u tminu i kostrijet im dajem za pokrivač!”
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 Gospod Jahve dade mi jezik vješt da znam riječju krijepiti umorne. Svako jutro on mi uho budi da ga slušam kao učenici.
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as the learned.
5 Gospod Jahve uši mi otvori: ne protivih se niti uzmicah.
The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6 Leđa podmetnuh onima što me udarahu, a obraze onima što mi bradu čupahu, i lica svojeg ne zaklonih od uvreda ni od pljuvanja.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 Gospod mi Jahve pomaže, zato se neću smesti. Zato učinih svoj obraz k'o kremen i znam da se neću postidjeti.
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 Blizu je onaj koji mi pravo daje. Tko će se pravdati sa mnom? Iziđimo zajedno! Tko je protivnik moj u parnici? Nek' mi se približi!
He is near that justifies me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Gle, Gospod mi Jahve pomaže, tko će me osuditi? Svi će se oni k'o haljina izlizati, moljac će ih razjesti.
Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? see, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 “Tko god se od vas Jahve boji, nek' posluša glas Sluge njegova! Tko u tmini hodi, bez tračka svjetlosti, nek' se uzda u ime Jahvino, nek' se na Boga svog osloni.
Who is among you that fears the LORD, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness, and has no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay on his God.
11 Ali svi vi oganj palite, raspirujete žeravicu. Idite u plamenove ognja svojega i u žeravu koju raspiriste. Tako će vam moja učiniti ruka: ležat ćete u mukama.
Behold, all you that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that you have kindled. This shall you have of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
