Isaiah 46
1 Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
Bel se je upognil dol, Nebó se sklanja, njihovi maliki so bili na živalih in na živini. Vaši vozovi so bili težko obloženi, breme so vsaki izmučeni živini.
2 They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
Sklonili so se, skupaj so se upognili, niso mogli osvoboditi bremena, temveč so sami šli v ujetništvo.
3 Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
Prisluhnite mi, oh hiša Jakobova in ves ostanek Izraelove hiše, ki vas nosim od trebuha, ki ste nošeni od maternice.
4 Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
Celó do vaše visoke starosti jaz sem in celó do osivelih las vas bom prenašal. Jaz sem naredil, jaz bom vzdignil, celó jaz bom nosil in vas osvobodil.
5 To whom would you liken me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
S kom me boste primerjali in me naredili enakega in me primerjali, da bi bila lahko podobna?
6 You take gold from a bag, and you weigh silver on a scale, so as to hire a goldsmith to make a god. And they fall prostrate and adore.
Iz torbe iztresajo zlato in na tehtnici tehtajo srebro in najemajo zlatarja in ta ga naredi boga. Padajo dol, da, obožujejo.
7 They carry him on their shoulders, supporting him, and they set him in his place. And he will stand still and will not move from his place. But even when they will cry out to him, he will not hear. He will not save them from tribulation.
Vzdignejo ga na ramo, prenašajo ga in ga postavljajo na njegov prostor in ta stoji, iz svojega prostora se ne bo odstranil. Da, nekdo bo vpil k njemu, vendar mu ne more odgovoriti niti ga rešiti iz njegove stiske.
8 Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
Spomnite se tega in bodite možje. Ponovno premislite, oh vi, prestopniki.
9 Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
Spominjajte se prejšnjih stvari od davnine, kajti jaz sem Bog in ni nikogar drugega, jaz sem Bog in nobenega ni podobnega meni,
10 From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
konec razglašam od začetka in od starodavnih časov stvari, ki še niso storjene, rekoč: ›Moj nasvet bo obstal in storil bom vse, kar mi ugaja.
11 I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
Ptico roparico kličem od vzhoda, moža, ki izvršuje mojo namero iz daljne dežele. Da, jaz sem to govoril, jaz bom tudi privedel, da se zgodi, to sem namenil in to bom tudi storil.
12 Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
Prisluhnite mi, vi arogantni, ki ste daleč od pravičnosti,
13 I have brought my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
svojo pravičnost privedem blizu; ta ne bo daleč stran in moja rešitev duš ne bo mudila. Rešitev duš bom postavil na Sion zaradi Izraela, svoje slave.
