1Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
1Počujte toto, dome Jakobov, ktorí sa nazývate menom Izraelovým a pošli ste z vôd Júdových, ktorí prisaháte na meno Hospodinovo a pripomínate Boha Izraelovho, ale nie v pravde ani nie v spravedlivosti!
2For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
2Lebo sa nazývajú od svätého mesta a spoliehajú sa na Boha Izraelovho, ktorého meno je Hospodin Zástupov.
3I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
3Oznámil som drievne veci od dávna, a keď vyšli z mojich úst, ohlasoval som ich; náhle som ich činieval, a dostanovily sa.
4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
4Pretože som vedel, že si ty urputný, a že tvoja šija železná húžva a tvoje čelo z medi,
5I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
5preto som ti oznamoval od dávna; prv ako sa niektoré dostanovilo, ohlásil som ti to, aby si nepovedal: Moja modla to učinila, a: Moja rytina a sliatina to rozkázala.
6Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
6Počul si, hľaď, všetko to, a vy, či nemusíte vyznať to isté? Už teraz ti ohlasujem nové veci a strážené tajné, ktorých si neznal.
7They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
7Teraz sú stvorené a nie od dávna, a nepočul si o nich predo dňom, aby si nepovedal: Hľa, vedel som to.
8Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
8Lebo veď ani si nepočul ani si nevedel, ani sa ti to od dávna nedostalo do uší, lebo som vedel, že budeš príliš neverne robiť a že sa voláš priestupníkom od života matky.
9For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
9Pre svoje meno zhovievam zdŕžajúc svoj hnev a pre svoju chválu ho krotím tebe na dobré, aby som ťa nevyplienil.
10Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
10Hľa, prepálim ťa, ale nie ako striebro, preberiem ťa v peci súženia.
11For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
11Pre seba, pre seba to učiním, lebo jako by mohlo byť poškvrnené moje meno? A svojej slávy inému nedám.
12Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
12Počuj ma, Jakobe, a Izraelu, môj povolaný: Ja som to; ja som prvý a ja som i posledný.
13Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
13Veď moja ruka založila zem, a moja pravica rozpäla nebesia; len čo som zavolal na ne, hneď sa postavily všetky dovedna.
14All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
14Shromaždite sa všetci, koľko vás je, a počujte! Kto z nich oznámil kedy tieto veci? Ten, ktorého miluje Hospodin, vykoná jeho vôľu na Babylone a jeho rameno na Chaldejoch.
15I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
15Ja, ja som hovoril, aj ho povolám; dovediem ho, a jeho cesta sa mu vydarí.
16Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
16Pristúpte ku mne, počujte to: Od počiatku som nehovoril skryte; od času, v ktorom sa to dialo, tam som ja. - A teraz, Pán Hospodin ma poslal a jeho Duch.
17Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
17Takto hovorí Hospodin, tvoj vykupiteľ, Svätý Izraelov: Ja Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, ťa učím prospievať a vediem ťa cestou, ktorou máš ísť.
18O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
18Oj, aby si bol pozoroval na moje prikázania, bol by tvoj pokoj ako rieka a tvoja spravedlivosť ako vlny mora!
19Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
19A tvojho semena by bolo jako piesku a plodu tvojho života jako jeho zŕn; nebolo by vyťaté ani vyhladené jeho meno zpred mojej tvári!
20Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
20Vyjdite z Babylona! Utečte od Chaldejov! Zvestujte hlasom plesania, ohlasujte to, rozneste to až na koniec sveta! Povedzte: Hospodin vykúpil svojho služobníka Jakoba!
21And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
21A nebudú žízniť, keď ich povedie po pustinách, dá, aby im tiekly vody zo skaly a roztrhne skalu, a budú sa liať vody!
22There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
22Nemajú pokoja, hovorí Hospodin, bezbožní.
