Izaija 51
1 Čujte me, vi koji za pravdom težite, koji Jahvu tražite; pogledajte stijenu iz koje ste isječeni i jamu duboku iz koje ste izvađeni.
Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.
2 Pogledajte oca svoga Abrahama i Saru koja vas porodi! Jest, sam bijaše kad sam ga pozvao, al' sam ga blagoslovio i umnožio.”
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
3 Jest, Jahvi se sažalio Sion, sažalile mu se njegove razvaline. Pustaru će njegovu učiniti poput Edena, a stepu poput Vrta Jahvina. Klicanje i radost njim će odjekivat', i zahvalnice i glas hvalospjeva.
For Jehovah hath comforted Zion; he hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 “Pomno me slušaj, puče moj, počujte me, narodi! Jer od mene Zakon dolazi i moje pravo za svjetlo narodima.
Attend unto me, O my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
5 Brzo će stići pravda moja, moje će spasenje doći kao svjetlost. Moja će mišica suditi narodima. Mene očekuju otoci i u moju se mišicu uzdaju.
My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
6 K nebu oči podignite, na zemlju dolje pogledajte. K'o dim će se rasplinut' nebesa, zemlja će se k'o haljina istrošit', kao komarci nestat će joj žitelji. Ali će spasenje moje trajati dovijeka, i pravdi mojoj neće biti kraja.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Poslušajte me, vi koji poznajete pravo, narode kojima je moj Zakon u srcu. Ne bojte se poruge ljudske, ne plašite se uvreda!
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.
8 Jer moljac će ih razjesti kao haljinu, crv će ih rastočiti kao vunu. Ali će pravda moja trajati dovijeka i spas moj od koljena do koljena.”
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation unto all generations.
9 Probudi se! Probudi se! Opaši se snagom, mišice Jahvina! Probudi se, kao u dane davne, za drevnih naraštaja. Nisi li ti rasjekla Rahaba i probola Zmaja?
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou that didst cut Rahab in pieces, that didst pierce the monster?
10 Nisi li ti isušila more, vodu velikog bezdana, i od dubine morske put načinila da njime prolaze otkupljeni?
Is it not thou that driedst up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that madest the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 Vratit će se oni što ih je oslobodio Jahve i s radosnim kricima doći će na Sion. Vječna će sreća biti nad glavama, pratit će ih klicanje i radost, nestat će tuge i jecaja.
And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; [and] sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12 Ja, ja sam tješitelj vaš. Tko si ti da se bojiš smrtna čovjeka i sina čovječjeg, koji je kao trava?
I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;
13 Zaboravio si Jahvu, svoga Stvoritelja, koji razastrije nebesa i koji zemlju utemelji; sveudilj strepiš, svaki dan, od tlačiteljeve jarosti. Kao da je pregnuo da te uništi. Ali gdje je sad jarost tlačiteljeva?
and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 Doskora će biti slobodan sužanj, neće umrijeti u jami, niti će mu kruha nedostajati.
The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die [and go down] into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
15 Jer, ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, koji burkam more da mu valovi buče, ime mi je Jahve nad Vojskama.
For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
16 Svoje sam ti riječi stavio u usta, u sjenu svoje ruke sakrio sam te kad sam razastro nebesa, utemeljio zemlju i rekao Sionu: “Ti si narod moj!”
And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
17 Probudi se, probudi se, ustani, Jeruzaleme! Ti koji si pio iz ruke Jahvine čašu gnjeva njegova. Ispio si pehar opojni, do dna ga iskapio.
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
18 Od svih sinova koje je rodio ne bješe nikog da ga vodi; od svih sinova koje je podigao ne bješe nikog da ga pridrži.
There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand among all the sons that she hath brought up.
19 Ovo te dvoje pogodilo - tko da te požali? - pohara i rasap, glad i mač - tko da te utješi?
These two things are befallen thee, who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?
20 Sinovi ti leže obamrli po uglovima svih ulica, kao antilopa u mreži, puni gnjeva Jahvina, prijetnje Boga tvojega.
Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.
21 Zato čuj ovo, bijedniče, pijan, ali ne od vina.
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22 Ovako govori Jahve, Gospod tvoj, tvoj Bog, branitelj tvoga naroda: “Iz ruke ti, evo, uzimam čašu opojnu, pehar gnjeva svojega: nećeš ga više piti.
Thus saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; thou shalt no more drink it again:
23 Stavit ću je u ruke tvojim tlačiteljima, onima koji su ti govorili: 'Prigni se da prijeđemo!' I ti si im leđa kao tlo podmetao, kao put za prolaznike.
and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee, that have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.
