Isaiah 45
1 Cyrus is the one whom Yahweh has appointed [to be the emperor of Persia] and to whom he will give great power [IDM]; Yahweh will enable him to defeat other nations and to take away the power of their kings. He will cause gates of cities to be opened, and no one will ever be able to shut them.
Овако говори Господ помазанику свом Киру, кога држим за десницу, да оборим пред њим народе и цареве распашем, да се отварају врата пред њим и да не буду врата затворена:
2 This is what Yahweh says to him: “Cyrus, I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will smash down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
Ја ћу ићи пред тобом, и путеве неравне поравнићу, врата бронзана разбићу и преворнице гвоздене сломићу.
3 I will give you treasures [that people have hidden] in dark secret places [DOU]. I will do that in order that you will know that I am Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belong, the God who calls you by your name.
И даћу ти благо тајно и богатство сакривено, да познаш да сам ја Господ Бог Израиљев, који те зовем по имену.
4 I have summoned you, calling out your name, for the sake of [the people of] Israel [DOU] whom I have chosen, who serve me. Even though you do not know me, I will give you a title which has great honor.
Ради слуге свог Јакова и Израиља изабраника свог прозвах те именом твојим и презименом, премда ме не знаш.
5 I am Yahweh, and there is no other God [DOU]. Even though you do not know me, I will give you power
Ја сам Господ, и нема другог, осим мене нема бога; опасах те, премда ме не знаш,
6 in order that everyone in the world, from the east to the west, will know that there is no other [God]. I am Yahweh, and there is no other [God].
Да би познали од истока сунчаног и од запада да нема другог осим мене; ја сам Господ и нема другог,
7 I created the light and the darkness. I cause there to be peace and I cause there to be disasters. I, Yahweh, do all those things.”
Који правим светлост и стварам мрак, градим мир и стварам зло; ја Господ чиним све то.
8 [And Yahweh also says, “I want my] rescue [of my people] [MET] to fall from the sky like rain. Just like the earth opens wide to accept rain, I will rescue/save my people and cause them to be treated justly. I, Yahweh, am the one who will cause both of those things to happen.
Росите, небеса, озго, и облаци нека капљу правдом, нека се отвори земља и нека роди спасењем и заједно нека узрасте правда; ја Господ створих то.
9 Terrible things will happen to those who argue with me, the one who created them. [They are like] [MET] a clay pot and [I am like] the one who made it; so they certainly cannot [RHQ] criticize me. A lump of clay certainly cannot [RHQ] argue with the one who shapes it [to form a pot], saying, ‘Why are you making me like this?’ The pot cannot say ‘[You have no skill, because] what you made has no handles!’
Тешко оном ко се свађа с Творцем својим; цреп с другим цреповима нека се свађа; али хоће ли као рећи лончару свом: Шта радиш? За твој посао нема руку.
10 And it would be terrible if an unborn baby would say to its father, ‘Why are you [RHQ] causing me to be born?’ or if it said to its mother, ‘The result of your labor pains will be useless?’”
Тешко оном ко говори оцу: Што рађаш? И жени: Што се порађаш?
11 Yahweh, the Holy One of the Israeli people, the one who created Israel, says this to them: “(Why do you ask questions about [what I do for you], my children?/You should not ask questions about [what I do for you], my children.) [RHQ] (Why do you tell me about the work that I should do?/You should not tell me about the work that I should do.) [RHQ]
Овако вели Господ Светац Израиљев и Творац његов: Питајте ме шта ће бити; за синове моје и за дело руку мојих наређујте ми.
12 I am the one who created the earth and created people to live on it. I stretched out the sky with my hands, and I put the stars in their places.
Ја сам начинио земљу и човека на њој створио, ја сам разапео небеса својим рукама, и свој војсци њиховој дао заповест.
13 And I will appoint Cyrus to do things that are right/just, and I will enable him to do all those things easily [MET]. His [workers] will rebuild my city, and he will free my people who have been (exiled/forced to leave their country). And he will do it without my rewarding/paying him! [Those things will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.
Ја га подигох у правди, и све путеве његове поравнићу; он ће сазидати мој град и робље моје отпустиће, не за новце ни за дарове, вели Господ над војскама.
14 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say [to you, my people]: ‘You will rule the people of Egypt and Ethiopia, and the tall people of Seba [in Arabia] will become your slaves. They will come to you bringing all the things that they sell, and it will all be yours. [As prisoners], they will have chains on their arms as they follow you. They will prostrate themselves in front of you and say, “God is with/helping you and he is the only God; there is no other God.” '”
Овако вели Господ: Труд мисирски и трговина етиопска и Саваца људи високог раста доћи ће к теби и бити твоја; за тобом ће пристати, у оковима ће ићи, и теби ће се клањати, теби ће се молити говорећи: Доиста, Бог је у теби, и нема другог Бога.
15 God, although we cannot see you, you are the one to whom [we] Israeli people belong, the one who saves us.
Да, ти си Бог, који се кријеш, Бог Израиљев, Спаситељ.
16 All those who make idols will be humiliated. They will all be disgraced together.
Они ће се сви постидети и посрамити, отићи ће са срамотом свиколики који граде ликове.
17 But you, Yahweh, will rescue [us, your] Israeli people, and we will be free forever. Never again will we again be humiliated and disgraced.
А Израиља ће спасти Господ спасењем вечним, нећете се постидети нити ћете се осрамотити довека.
18 Yahweh is God; he is the one who created the sky and created and formed the earth. He did not want it to remain with nothing living on it; he wanted people to live on it. [He says], “I am Yahweh; there is no other [God].
Јер овако вели Господ, који је створио небо, Бог, који је саздао земљу и начинио је и утврдио, и није је створио напразно, него је начинио да се на њој настава: ја сам Господ, и нема другог.
19 [What I proclaimed], I did not speak secretly or [hide what I was saying by speaking] in a dark place. When I spoke to the descendants of Jacob, I did not tell them ‘It will be useless for you to (seek for/pray to) me!’ I, Yahweh, speak [only] what is true and what is right.
Нисам говорио тајно ни на мрачном месту на земљи, нисам рекао семену Јаковљевом: Тражите ме узалуд. Ја Господ говорим правду, јављам шта је право.
20 You people who are still alive after experiencing great disasters, should come and gather together [and listen to this]: The people who carry around their wooden idols and pray to them are foolish, because those idols cannot rescue them!
Скупите се и дођите, приступите сви који сте се избавили између народа. Ништа не знају који носе дрво од свог лика и моле се богу који не може помоћи.
21 Talk among yourselves, and decide what you will say to prove that [your praying to idols is good]. [And when you do that, I will ask you], ‘Who predicted long ago [what has now happened]? Did any idol tell you [that those things would happen] [RHQ]?’ No, it was [RHQ] only I, Yahweh, who told you, because I am the only God; there is no other God. I am a God who acts righteously and saves people; there is no other one [who does these things].
Огласите, и доведите, нека већају заједно: ко је то од старине казао? Ко је јавио још онда? Нисам ли ја, Господ? Нема осим мене другог Бога, нема Бога праведног и Спаситеља другог осим мене.
22 Everyone in the world should ask me to save them, because I am the only God who can do that; there is no other one.
Погледајте у мене, и спашћете се сви крајеви земаљски; јер сам ја Бог, и нема другог.
23 I have solemnly declared, using my own name; I [SYN] have spoken what is true, and I will never change what I have said: [Some day], everyone [SYN] will bow in front of me, and they will all solemnly promise to be loyal to me.
Собом се заклех; изађе из уста мојих реч праведна, и неће се порећи, да ће им се поклонити свако колено, и заклињати се сваки језик,
24 They will declare, ‘Yahweh is the one who enables us to live righteously and to be strong.’” And all those who have been angry at him will come to him, and they will be ashamed [for having been angry with him].
И говориће: У Господу је правда и сила; к Њему ће доћи; али ће се посрамити сви који се гневе на Њ.
25 Yahweh is the only one who will enable [us] Israeli people in the future to defeat our enemies, [and then] we will boast about what he [has done for us].
У Господу ће се оправдати и прославити све семе Израиљево.
