Izaija 43

Biblija Hrvatski	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Sada ovako govori Jahve, koji te stvorio, Jakove, koji te sazdao, Izraele: »Ne boj se, jer ja sam te otkupio; imenom sam te zazvao: ti si moj!	1 But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.
2 Kad preko vode prelaziš, s tobom sam; ili preko rijeke, neće te preplaviti. Pođeš li kroz vatru, nećeš izgorjeti, plamen te opaliti neće.	2 When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.
3 Jer ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, Svetac Izraelov, tvoj spasitelj. Za otkupninu tvoju dajem Egipat, mjesto tebe dajem Kuš i Šebu.	3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you.
4 Jer dragocjen si u mojim očima, vrijedan si i ja te ljubim. Stog i dajem ljude za tebe, i narode za život tvoj.	4 Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.
5 Ne boj se, jer ja sam s tobom. S istoka ću ti dovest’ potomstvo i sabrat ću te sa zapada.	5 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you;
6 Reći ću sjeveru: ‘Daj mi ga!’ a jugu: ‘Ne zadržavaj ga!’ Sinove mi dovedi izdaleka, i kćeri moje s kraja zemlje,	6 I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7 sve koji se mojim zovu imenom, i koje sam na svoju slavu stvorio, koje sam sazdao i načinio.«	7 every one who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."
8 Bog »Izvedi narod slijep, premda oči ima, i gluh, premda uši ima.	8 Bring forth the people who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears!
9 Neka se saberu sva plemena i neka se skupe narodi. Tko je od njih to prorekao i davno navijestio? Nek’ dovedu svjedoke da se opravdaju, neka se čuje da se može reći: ‘Istina je!’	9 Let all the nations gather together, and let the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses to justify them, and let them hear and say, It is true.
10 Jer vi ste mi svjedoci«, riječ je Jahvina, »i moje sluge koje sam izabrao, da biste znali i vjerovali i uvidjeli da sam to ja. Prije mene nijedan bog nije bio načinjen i neće poslije mene biti.	10 "You are my witnesses," says the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am He. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.
11 Ja, ja sam Jahve, osim mene nema spasitelja.	11 I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior.
12 Ja sam prorekao, spasio i navijestio, i nema među vama tuđinca! Vi ste mi svjedoci«, riječ je Jahvina, »a ja sam Bog	12 I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you; and you are my witnesses," says the LORD.
13 od vječnosti – ja jesam! I nitko iz ruke moje ne izbavlja; što učinim, tko izmijeniti može?«	13 "I am God, and also henceforth I am He; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work and who can hinder it?"
14 Ovako govori Jahve, otkupitelj vaš, Svetac Izraelov: »Radi vas poslah protiv Babilona, oborit ću prijevornice zatvorima, i Kaldejci će udariti u kukanje.	14 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "For your sake I will send to Babylon and break down all the bars, and the shouting of the Chaldeans will be turned to lamentations.
15 Ja sam Jahve, Svetac vaš, stvoritelj Izraelov, kralj vaš!«	15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."
16 Ovako govori Jahve, koji put po moru načini i stazu po vodama silnim;	16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters,
17 koji izvede bojna kola i konje, vojsku i junake, i oni padoše da više ne ustanu, zgasnuše, kao stijenj se utrnuše.	17 who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
18 »Ne spominjite se onog što se zbilo, nit’ mislite na ono što je prošlo.	18 "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.
19 Evo, činim nešto novo; već nastaje. Zar ne opažate? Da, put ću napraviti u pustinji, a staze u pustoši.	19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
20 Slavit će me divlje zvijeri, čaglji i nojevi, jer vodu ću stvorit’ u pustinji, rijeke u stepi, da napojim svoj narod, izabranika svoga.	20 The wild beasts will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people,
21 I narod koji sam sebi sazdao moju će kazivati hvalu!«	21 the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.
22 »Ali me ti, Jakove, nisi zazvao, niti si se zamorio oko mene, Izraele!	22 "Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel!
23 Nisi mi prinosio ovce za paljenicu, nisi me častio žrtvama. A ja te silio nisam na prinose, nisam ti dodijavao ištući kâda.	23 You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings, or honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, or wearied you with frankincense.
24 Nisi mi kupovao za novac trsku, nisi me sitio salom svojih žrtava; nego si me grijesima svojim mučio, bezakonjem svojim dosađivao mi.	24 You have not bought me sweet cane with money, or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities.
25 A ja, ja radi sebe opačine tvoje brišem i grijeha se tvojih ne spominjem.	25 "I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.
26 Podsjeti me, zajedno se sporimo, govori ti da se opravdaš.	26 Put me in remembrance, let us argue together; set forth your case, that you may be proved right.
27 Prvi je otac tvoj sagriješio, posrednici tvoji od mene se odmetnuli,	27 Your first father sinned, and your mediators transgressed against me.
28 knezovi su tvoji oskvrnuli svetište. Tad izručih Jakova prokletstvu, i poruzi Izraela.«	28 Therefore I profaned the princes of the sanctuary, I delivered Jacob to utter destruction and Israel to reviling.
