Isaiah 50

1 Thus sayeth the Lord, Where is that bill of your mothers diuorcement, whome I haue cast off? or who is the creditour to whome I solde you? Beholde, for your iniquities are yee solde, and because of your transgressions is your mother forsaken.

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.

2 Wherefore came I, and there was no man? I called, and none answered: is mine hand so shortened, that it cannot helpe? or haue I no power to deliuer? Beholde, at my rebuke I drie vp the Sea: I make the floods desert: their fish rotteth for want of water, and dieth for thirst.

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.

3 I clothe the heauens with darkenesse, and make a sacke their couering.

Nebesa oblačim u tminu i kostrijet im dajem za pokrivač!”

4 The Lord God hath giuen me a tongue of the learned, that I shoulde knowe to minister a woord in time to him that is weary: he will raise me vp in the morning: in the morning hee will waken mine eare to heare, as the learned.

Gospod Jahve dade mi jezik vješt da znam riječju krijepiti umorne. Svako jutro on mi uho budi da ga slušam kao učenici.

5 The Lord God hath opened mine eare and I was not rebellious, neither turned I backe.

Gospod Jahve uši mi otvori: ne protivih se niti uzmicah.

6 I gaue my backe vnto the smiters, and my cheekes to the nippers: I hidde not my face from shame and spitting.

Leđa podmetnuh onima što me udarahu, a obraze onima što mi bradu čupahu, i lica svojeg ne zaklonih od uvreda ni od pljuvanja.

7 For the Lord God will helpe me, therefore shall I not bee confounded: therefore haue I set my face like a flint, and I knowe that I shall not be ashamed.

Gospod mi Jahve pomaže, zato se neću smesti. Zato učinih svoj obraz k'o kremen i znam da se neću postidjeti.

8 Hee is neere that iustifieth mee: who will contend with me? Let vs stande together: who is mine aduersarie? let him come neere to me.

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!

9 Beholde, the Lord God will helpe me: who is he that can condemne me? loe, they shall waxe olde as a garment: the mothe shall eate them vp.

Gle, Gospod mi Jahve pomaže, tko će me osuditi? Svi će se oni k'o haljina izlizati, moljac će ih razjesti.

10 Who is among you that feareth the Lord? let him heare the voyce of his seruant: hee that walketh in darkenesse, and hath no light, let him trust in the Name of the Lord, and staye vpon his God.

“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.

11 Beholde, all you kindle a fire, and are compassed about with sparkes: walke in the light of your fire, and in the sparkes that ye haue kindled. This shall ye haue of mine hand: ye shall lye downe in sorowe.

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.
