Isaiah 48
1 [Yahweh says], “You descendants [MTY] of Jacob, who are [also] descendants of Judah and are now called [the people of] Israel, Listen to me! You make solemn promises using my name, Yahweh, and you request that I, the God to whom you Israeli people belong, [will hear you], but you do not do it sincerely.
Чујте ово, доме Јаковљев, који се зовете именом Израиљевим, и из воде Јудине изађосте, који се кунете именом Господњим, и Бога Израиљевог помињете, али не по истини и по правди.
2 You say that you live in the holy city [of Jerusalem], and [you insincerely say] that you are relying on me, the God to whom you [people of] Israel belong, the one who is the Commander of the armies of angels.
Јер се именују по Светом граду, ослањају се на Бога Израиљевог, коме је име Господ над војскама.
3 Long ago I [MTY] predicted what would happen [DOU]. And then suddenly, I caused those things to happen.
Шта је пре бивало, казивах напред одавно, и шта из мојих уста изађе и објавих, учиних брзо и зби се.
4 I knew that you people are very stubborn; I knew that your heads are [MET] [as hard as] iron or brass [DOU].
Знао сам да си упоран, и врат да ти је гвоздена жила, и чело да ти је од бронзе.
5 That is why I told you those things long ago. Long before they occurred, I announced that they would occur, in order that [when they happened] you could not say ‘Our idols did it; our statue made of wood and our idol made of metal caused them to happen.’
И зато ти одавна објавих, пре него се зби казах ти, да не би рекао: Идол мој учини то, и лик мој резани и лик мој ливени заповедише тако.
6 You have heard those things [that I predicted] and now you have seen that they have all occurred, so why do you not admit it [RHQ]? Now I will tell you new things, things that you have not known previously.
Чуо си; погледај све то; а ви нећете ли објављивати? Одселе ти јављам ново и сакривено, шта ниси знао;
7 I am causing them to happen now; they are not things I did long ago. So you cannot say, ‘We already knew about those things.’
Сада се створи, и недавно, и пре овог дана ниси чуо, да не кажеш: Гле, знао сам.
8 [I will tell you about] things that you have never heard about or understood before. Even long ago you did not pay attention to me [IDM]. I know that you act very deceitfully/treacherously; you have rebelled against me since you first became a nation [MTY].
Нити си чуо ни знао, и пре ти се уши не отворише, јер знадох да ћеш чинити неверу, и да се зовеш преступник од утробе материне.
9 But, for my own sake, in order that I will be honored, I will not punish [MTY] you immediately and I will not completely get rid of you.
Имена свог ради устегнућу гнев свој, и ради хвале своје уздржаћу се према теби, да те не истребим.
10 I have purified you, but not the way [people refine] silver. Instead, I have caused you to suffer very much [to get rid of your impure behavior], like [MET] [people put metal in a very hot] furnace [to get rid of the impurities].
Ево, претопићу те, али не као сребро, пребраћу те у пећи невоље.
11 But for my [MTY] own sake I will delay punishing you more; I will do it for my own sake in order that my reputation will not be damaged [RHQ]. I will not allow any [person or any idol] to be honored as I [deserve to be] honored.”
Себе ради, себе ради учинићу, јер како би се хулило на име моје? И славе своје нећу дати другом.
12 “You descendants [MTY] of Jacob, you people of Israel whom I have chosen, listen to me! [Only] I am God; I am the one who begins everything and who causes everything to end.
Чуј ме, Јакове и Израиљу, ког ја позвах: ја сам први, ја сам и последњи.
13 I [SYN] am the one who laid the foundation of the earth. I stretched out the sky with my hand. And when I tell [the stars] to appear, they all do what I tell them.
И моја је рука основала земљу, и моја је десница измерила небеса пеђу; кад их зовнем, сви дођу.
14 All of you, gather together and listen to me. None of your idols has [RHQ] told this to you: I, Yahweh, have chosen [Cyrus] to assist me, and he will do to Babylon what I want him to do, and his army will get rid of [the army of] Babylonia.
Скупите се сви и чујте: ко је од њих објавио ово? Господ га милује, он ће извршити вољу Његову на Вавилону, и мишица ће Његова бити насупрот Халдејцима.
15 I have said it; I have summoned [Cyrus]. I have appointed him, and he will accomplish everything that he attempts to do.
Ја, ја рекох, и позвах га, довешћу га, и биће срећан на свом путу.
16 Come close to me and listen to what I say. Long ago [MTY] I told you plainly/clearly [LIT] [what would happen], and when those things occurred, I was [causing them to happen].” And now Yahweh the Lord and his Spirit have sent me [to give you a message].
Приступите к мени, чујте ово: од почетка нисам говорио тајно; откако то би, бејах онде; а сада Господ Господ посла ме и Дух Његов.
17 This is what Yahweh, the one who saves you, the Holy God of [us] Israelis, says: “I am Yahweh, your God; I teach you what is important for you [to know]; I direct you and lead you to the roads that you should walk on [MET].
Овако вели Господ, Избавитељ твој, Светац Израиљев: Ја сам Господ Бог твој који те учим да би напредовао, водим те путем којим треба да идеш.
18 I wish that you had paid attention to my commands! If you had done that, things would have gone well for you like [SIM] a river that flows gently; you would have been successful again and again, like [SIM] waves that come without ceasing.
О, да си пазио на заповести моје! Мир би твој био као река, и правда твоја као валови морски;
19 Your descendants would have been [as many as] [MET] the grains of sand [on the seashore] [which no one can count]. I would not have needed to get rid of you; the country of [MTY] [Israel] would not have been destroyed.”
И семена би твог било као песка, и порода утробе твоје као зрна његових; име се њихово не би затрло ни истребило испред мене.
20 [However, now I tell you], leave Babylon! Flee from [being slaves of the people of] Babylonia! Proclaim this message joyfully; send it to the most remote/distant places on the earth: Yahweh freed the people of Israel [from being slaves in Egypt].
Изађите из Вавилона, бежите од Халдејаца; гласно певајући објављујте, казујте, разглашујте до крајева земаљских; реците: Избави Господ слугу свог Јакова.
21 They were not thirsty when he led them through the desert, because he split open the rock and caused water to gush/flow out for them [to drink].
Неће ожеднети кад их поведе преко пустиње; воду из стене точиће им, јер ће расцепити камен и потећи ће вода.
22 “But things will not go well [like that] for wicked people,” says Yahweh.
Нема мира безбожницима, вели Господ.
