Isaiah 44
1 And therefore listen O Jacob servant my and Israel [whom] I have chosen it.
Ali sada èuj, Jakove, slugo moj, i Izrailju, kojega izabrah.
2 Thus he says Yahweh [who] made you and [who] formed you from [the] womb he will help you may not you be afraid O servant my Jacob and Jeshurun [whom] I have chosen it.
Ovako veli Gospod, koji te je stvorio i sazdao od utrobe materine, i koji ti pomaže: ne boj se, slugo moj Jakove, i mili, kojega izabrah.
3 For I will pour out water on thirsty [ground] and streams on dry ground I will pour out spirit my on offspring your and blessing my on descendants your.
Jer æu izliti vodu na žednoga i potoke na suhu zemlju, izliæu duh svoj na sjeme tvoje i blagoslov svoj na tvoje natražje.
4 And they will spring up in between grass like poplars at watercourses of water.
I procvjetaæe kao u travi, kao vrbe pokraj potoka.
5 This one he will say [belong] to Yahweh I and this one he will call out with [the] name of Jacob and this one he will write hand his [belongs] to Yahweh and with [the] name of Israel he will name.
Ovaj æe reæi: ja sam Gospodnji, a onaj æe se zvati po imenu Jakovljevu, a drugi æe se pisati svojom rukom Gospodnji, i prezivaæe se imenom Izrailjevijem.
6 Thus he says Yahweh [the] king of Israel and redeemer its Yahweh of hosts I [am] first and I [am] last and except me there not [is] a god.
Ovako govori Gospod car Izrailjev i izbavitelj njegov, Gospod nad vojskama: ja sam prvi i ja sam pošljednji, i osim mene nema Boga.
7 And who? [is] like me let him proclaim [it] and let him declare it and let him recount in order it to me from when established I a people of antiquity and [the] coming [things] and [the things] which they will come let them declare to them.
I ko kao ja oglašuje i objavljuje ovo, ili mi ureðuje otkako naselih stari narod? Neka im javi što æe biti i što æe doæi.
8 May not you be in dread and may not you fear ¿ not from then did I proclaim to you and did I declare and you [are] witnesses my ¿ [is] there a god except me and there not [is] a rock not I know.
Ne bojte se i ne plašite se; nijesam li ti davno kazao i objavio? vi ste mi svjedoci; ima li Bog osim mene? Da, nema stijene, ne znam ni jedne.
9 [those who] form an idol All of them [are] nothingness and desired [things] their not they confer profit and witnesses their they not they see and not they know so that they may be ashamed.
Koji grade rezane likove, svi su ništa, i mile stvari njihove ne pomažu ništa, i one su im svjedoci da ne vide i ne razumiju, da bi se posramili.
10 Who? has he formed a god and an idol has he cast? to not to confer profit.
Ko gradi boga i lije lik, nije ni na kaku korist.
11 There! all companions his they will be ashamed and craftsmen they [are] from humankind let them gather together all of them let them stand up let them be in dread let them be ashamed altogether.
Gle, svi æe se drugovi njegovi posramiti, i umjetnici više od drugih ljudi; neka se skupe svi i stanu, biæe ih strah i posramiæe se svi.
12 A craftsman of iron a tool and he works [it] on the coal[s] and with hammers he forms it and he worked it with [the] arm of strength his also he is hungry and there not [is] strength not he drinks water and he grew weary.
Kovaè kliještima radi na živom ugljevlju, i kuje èekiæem, i radi snagom svoje ruke, gladuje, te iznemogne, i ne pije vode, te sustane.
13 A craftsman of wood he stretches out a measuring-line he outlines it with marker he works it with scraping tools and with compass he outlines it and he made it like [the] form of a man like [the] beauty of a man to dwell a house.
Drvodjelja rasteže vrvcu i bilježi crvenilom, teše i zaokružuje, i naèinja kao lik èovjeèji, kao lijepa èovjeka, da stoji u kuæi.
14 To cut down for himself cedars and he took a cypress and an oak and he strengthened [it] for himself among [the] trees of [the] forest he plants laurel and rain it makes [it] grow.
Sijeèe sebi kedre, i uzima èesvinu i hrast ili što je najèvršæe meðu drvljem šumskim; sadi jasen, i od dažda raste.
15 And it belongs to anyone to burn and he took some of them and he became warm also he kindles a fire and he bakes bread also he makes a god and he bowed down he makes it an idol and he prostrated himself to it.
I biva èovjeku za oganj, i uzme ga, te se grije; upali ga, te peèe hljeb; i još gradi od njega boga i klanja mu se; gradi od njega lik rezan, i pada na koljena pred njim.
16 Half of it he burns in a fire over half of it meat he eats he roasts roasted meat so he may be satisfied also he is warm and he may say aha! I am warm I see a fire.
Polovinu loži na oganj, uz polovinu jede meso ispekavši peèenje, i biva sit, i grije se i govori: aha, ogrijah se, vidjeh oganj.
17 And [the] remainder of it a god he makes idol his (he prostrates himself *Qk) to it so he may bow down and he may pray to it so he may say deliver me for [are] god my you.
A od ostatka gradi boga, rezan lik svoj, pada pred njim na koljena i klanja se, i moli mu se i govori: izbavi me, jer si ti bog moj.
18 Not they know and not they understand for it is besmeared from seeing eyes their from having insight hearts their.
Ne znaju, niti razumiju, jer su im oèi zaslijepljene da ne vide, i srca, da ne razumiju.
19 And not he brings to heart his and not knowledge and not understanding to say half of it I burned in a fire and also I baked on coals its bread I roasted meat so I may eat [it] and [the] remainder of it an abomination will I make? to a product of a tree will I prostrate myself?
Niti uzimaju na um, nema znanja ni razuma da bi koji rekao: polovinu ovoga spalih na oganj, i na uglju od njega ispekoh hljeb, ispekoh meso i jedoh; i od ostatka eda li æu naèiniti gad, i panju drvenom hoæu li se klanjati?
20 [he is] feeding Ash[es] a heart [which] it is deceived it has turned aside him and not he will deliver self his and not he will say ¿ not [is] falsehood in right [hand] my.
Taki se hrani pepelom, prevareno srce zavodi ga da ne može izbaviti duše svoje, niti reæi: nije li laž što mi je u desnici?
21 Remember these [things] O Jacob and O Israel for [are] servant my you I formed you [are] a servant of me you O Israel not you will be forgotten by me.
Pamti to, Jakove i Izrailju, jer si moj sluga; ja sam te sazdao, sluga si moj, Izrailju, neæu te zaboraviti.
22 I have wiped out like dark cloud transgressions your and like cloud sins your return! to me for I have redeemed you.
Rasuæu kao oblak prijestupe tvoje, i grijehe tvoje kao maglu; vrati se k meni, jer sam te izbavio.
23 Shout for joy O heaven for he has acted Yahweh shout in triumph O lower parts of [the] earth break forth O mountains a shout of joy O forest and every tree in it for he has redeemed Yahweh Jacob and by Israel he will get glory for himself.
Pjevajte, nebesa, jer Gospod uèini, podvikujte, nizine zemaljske, popijevajte, gore, šume i sva drva u njima, jer izbavi Gospod Jakova i proslavi se u Izrailju.
24 Thus he says Yahweh redeemer your and [the one who] formed you from [the] womb I [am] Yahweh [who] made everything [who] stretched out [the] heavens to alone me [who] spread out the earth (from with myself. *QK)
Ovako govori Gospod, izbavitelj tvoj, koji te je sazdao od utrobe materine: ja Gospod naèinih sve: razapeh nebo sam, rasprostrijeh zemlju sam sobom;
25 [who] frustrates [the] signs of Empty talkers and diviners he makes look foolish [who] turns back wise [people] backwards and knowledge their he makes foolish.
Uništujem znake lažljivcima, i vraèe obezumljujem, vraæam natrag mudarce, i pretvaram mudrost njihovu u ludost;
26 [who] establishes [the] word of Servant his and [the] counsel of messengers his he performs who says of Jerusalem it will be inhabited and of [the] cities of Judah they will be rebuilt and ruins its I will raise up.
Potvrðujem rijeè sluge svojega, i navršujem savjet glasnika svojih; govorim Jerusalimu: naseliæeš se; i gradovima Judinijem: sazidaæete se; i pustoline njihove podignuæu;
27 Who says to the ocean-deep be dried up and rivers your I will make dry.
Govorim dubini: presahni i isušiæu rijeke tvoje;
28 Who says of Cyrus shepherd my and all desire my he will perform and to say of Jerusalem let it be rebuilt and [the] temple let it be refounded.
Govorim Kiru: pastir si moj; i izvršiæe svu volju moju, i kazaæe Jerusalimu: sazidaæeš se; i crkvi: osnovaæeš se.
