Isaiah 49

1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples, from far: the LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name:

Poslušajte me, ostrva, i pazite, narodi daljni. Gospod me pozva od utrobe; od utrobe matere moje pomenu ime moje.

2 and he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me; and he hath made me a polished shaft, in his quiver hath he kept me close:

I uèinio je usta moja da su kao oštar maè, u sjenu ruke svoje sakri me; uèinio me je sjajnom strijelom, i u tulu svojem sakri me.

3 and he said unto me, Thou art my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

I reèe mi: ti si sluga moj, u Izrailju æu se tobom proslaviti.

4 But I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and vanity: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my recompence with my God.

A ja rekoh: uzalud se trudih, uzalud i naprazno potroših silu svoju; ali opet sud je moj u Gospoda i posao moj u Boga mojega.

5 And now saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered unto him: (for I am honourable in the eyes of the LORD, and my God is become my strength: )

A sada govori Gospod, koji me je sazdao od utrobe materine da sam mu sluga, da mu dovedem natrag Jakova; ako se Izrailj i ne sabere, opet æu se proslaviti pred Gospodom, i Bog æe moj biti sila moja.

6 yea, he saith, It is too light a thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

I reèe mi: malo je da mi budeš sluga da se podigne pleme Jakovljevo i da se vrati ostatak Izrailjev, nego te uèinih vidjelom narodima da budeš moje spasenje do krajeva zemaljskih.

7 Thus saith the LORD, the redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of the LORD that is faithful, [even] the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.

Ovako veli Gospod, izbavitelj Izrailjev, svetac njegov, onome kojega preziru, na koga se gadi narod, sluzi onijeh koji gospodare: carevi æe vidjeti i ustati, i knezovi æe se pokloniti radi Gospoda, koji je vjeran, radi sveca Izrailjeva, koji te je izabrao.

8 Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I answered thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages;

Ovako veli Gospod: u vrijeme milosno usliših te, i u dan spasenja pomogoh ti; i èuvaæu te i daæu te da budeš zavjet narodu da utvrdiš zemlju i naslijediš opustjelo našljedstvo;

9 saying to them that are bound, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.

Da kažeš sužnjima: izidite; onima koji su u mraku: pokažite se. Oni æe pokraj putova pasti, i paša æe im biti po svijem visokim mjestima.

10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

Neæe biti gladni ni žedni, neæe ih biti vruæina ni sunce; jer kome ih je žao, on æe ih voditi, i pokraj izvora vodenijeh provodiæe ih.

11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

I sve gore svoje obratiæu u putove, i staze æe moje biti povišene.

12 Lo, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

Gle, ovi æe iz daleka doæi, gle, i oni od sjevera i od zapada, i oni iz zemlje Sinske.

13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have compassion upon his afflicted.

Pjevajte, nebesa, i veseli se, zemljo, podvikujte, gore, veselo; jer Gospod utješi svoj narod, i na nevoljnike svoje smilova se.

14 But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.

Ali Sion reèe: ostavi me Gospod, i zaboravi me Gospod.

15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.

Može li žena zaboraviti porod svoj da se ne smiluje na èedo utrobe svoje? A da bi ga i zaboravila, ja neæu zaboraviti tebe.

16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Gle, na dlanovima sam te izrezao; zidovi su tvoji jednako preda mnom.

17 Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

Pohitjeæe sinovi tvoji, a koji te raskopavaše i pustošiše, otiæi æe od tebe.

18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I l live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride.

Podigni oèi svoje unaokolo, i vidi: svi se oni skupljaju i idu k tebi. Tako bio ja živ, veli Gospod, svjema njima kao nakitom zaodjenuæeš se, i uresiæeš se njima kao nevjesta.

19 For, as for thy waste and thy desolate places and thy land that hath been destroyed, surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

Jer razvaline tvoje i pustoline i potrvena zemlja tvoja biæe tada tijesna za stanovnike kad se udalje oni koji te proždiraše.

20 The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

I djeca koju æeš imati, pošto si bila bez djece, reæi æe da èuješ: tijesno mi je ovo mjesto, pomakni se da se mogu nastaniti.

21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?

A ti æeš reæi u srcu svom: ko mi ih rodi, jer bijah sirota i inokosna, zarobljena i prognana? i ko ih othrani? eto, ja bijah ostala sama, a gdje oni bijahu?

22 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples: and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall he carried upon their shoulders.

Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo, podignuæu ruku svoju k narodima, i k plemenima æu podignuti zastavu svoju, i donijeæe sinove tvoje u naruèju, i kæeri tvoje na ramenima æe se nositi.

23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and they that wait for me shall not be ashamed.

I carevi æe biti hranitelji tvoji i carice njihove tvoje dojkinje, i klanjaæe ti se licem do zemlje, i prah s nogu tvojih lizaæe, i poznaæeš da sam ja Gospod, i da se neæe osramotiti oni koji mene èekaju.

24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?

Hoæe li se junaku uzeti plijen i hoæe li se oteti roblje pravednomu?

25 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

Jer ovako govori Gospod: i roblje junaku uzeæe se i plijen jakomu oteæe se, jer æu se ja preti s onima koji se s tobom pru, i sinove tvoje ja æu izbaviti;

26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy saviour, and thy redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

I koji ti krivo èine, nahraniæu ih njihovijem mesom i opiæe se svojom krvlju kao novijem vinom; i poznaæe svako tijelo da sam ja Gospod spasitelj tvoj i izbavitelj tvoj, jaki Bog Jakovljev.
