1And now hear, Jacob, my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen:
1A tak teraz počuj, Jakobe, môj služobníku, a Izraelu, ktorého som si vyvolil!
2thus saith Jehovah, that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, who helpeth thee, Fear not, Jacob, my servant, and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
2Takto hovorí Hospodin, ktorý ťa učinil a ktorý ťa utvoril od života matky a pomáha ti: Neboj sa, môj služobníku, Jakobe a Ješurún, ktorého som si vyvolil,
3For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring.
3lebo vylejem vody na žíznivé a potoky na sušinu; vylejem svojho Ducha na tvoje semä a svoje požehnanie na tvojich potomkov,
4And they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the water-courses.
4a budú rásť na spôsob trávy, jako vrbina pri potokoch vody.
5One shall say, I am Jehovah's; and another shall call [himself] by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand: [I am] Jehovah's, and surname [himself] by the name of Israel.
5Tento povie: Ja som Hospodinov, a tamten bude vzývať meno Boha Jakobovho, a iný sa zapíše svojou rukou Hospodinovi a pridá si meno Izrael.
6Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I [am] the first, and I [am] the last, and beside me there is no God.
6Takto hovorí Hospodin, Kráľ Izraelov, a jeho vykupiteľ, Hospodin Zástupov: Ja som prvý a ja som i posledný, a krome mňa niet Boha
7And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? And the coming things, and those that shall happen, let them declare unto them.
7A kto jako ja ohlasuje - a nech to oznámi a nech mi to predloží - od toho času, ako som položil ľud veku? Alebo to, čo ide, alebo to, čo prijde, nech im oznámia!
8Fear not, neither be afraid. Have I not caused thee to hear from that time, and have declared it? and ye are my witnesses. Is there a +God beside me? yea, there is no Rock: I know not any.
8Nestrachujte sa ani sa nechvejte! Či som ti neohlasoval od dávna a neoznámil? A vy ste mojimi svedkami. Či je azda nejaký Bôh krome mňa? Ani niet skaly; neviem o nijakej.
9They that form a graven image are all of them vanity, and their delectable things are of no profit; and they are their own witnesses: they see not, nor know; -- that they may be ashamed.
9Tí, ktorí formujú rytiny, sú márnosťou všetci, koľko ich je; ich najmilejšie modly nič neprospejú, a oni sami sú si svedkami toho: nevidia ani nevedia ničoho, aby sa hanbili.
10Who hath formed a ùgod, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
10Kto tedy bude formovať boha alebo liať rytinu, aby nič neprospela?!
11Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed; and the workmen are but men. Let them all be gathered together, let them stand up: they shall fear, they shall be ashamed together.
11Hľa, všetci, ktorí sa družia k nemu, sa budú hanbiť a takí remeselníci nad iných ľudí. Nech sa shromaždia všetci, koľko ich je, nech sa postavia; nech sa strachujú, nech sa hanbia všetci dovedna!
12The iron-smith [hath] a chisel, and he worketh in the coals, and he fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with his strong arm; -- but he is hungry, and his strength faileth; he hath not drunk water, and he is faint.
12Kuje železo na sekeru a pracujúc pri uhlí formuje ju kladivami; robí ju ramenom svojej sily, pri čom je i hladný, až nieto sily; nepije vody a ustáva.
13The worker in wood stretcheth out a line; he marketh it out with red chalk; he formeth it with sharp tools, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of man: that it may remain in the house.
13Kreše kusy dreva; ťahá šnúru; označuje to tužkou; robí to rezákmi a značí to kružidlom; spraví to jako čo by podobu muža, jako ozdobu človeka, aby to sedelo doma.
14When he heweth him down cedars, he taketh also a holm-oak and a terebinth -- he chooseth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth a pine, and the rain maketh [it] grow.
14Ide si zoťať cedry; vezme hrab a dub a vyberie si pevné medzi stromami lesa; zasadí jasen, a dážď pôsobí vzrast.
15And it shall be for a man to burn, and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; he kindleth it also, and baketh bread; he maketh also a ùgod, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
15A je človekovi na palivo, a vezmúc z toho zohreje sa, i prikladá a pečie chlieb i spraví si boha a klania sa, urobí z toho rytinu a kľaká pred ňou.
16He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh, he roasteth roast, and is satisfied; yea, he is warm, and saith, Aha, I am become warm, I have seen the fire.
16Polovicu toho spáli na ohni, pri druhej polovici jie mäso, pečie pečeňu a nasýti sa, i zohreje sa a povie: Hej, zohrial som sa, cítim vatru!
17And with the remainder thereof he maketh a ùgod, his graven image; he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me, for thou art my ùgod.
17A z jeho ostatku spraví boha, svoju rytinu, kľaká pred ňou a klania sa a modlí sa jej a hovorí: Vytrhni ma, lebo ty si môj boh!
18They have no knowledge, and understand not; for he hath plastered their eyes, that they may not see; and their hearts, that they may not understand.
18Nevedia ani nechápu, lebo zaslepil ich oči, aby nevideli, ich srdcia, aby nerozumeli.
19And none taketh it to heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire, and have also baked bread upon the coals thereof, I have roasted flesh, and eaten [it], and with the rest thereof shall I make an abomination? shall I bow down to a block of wood?
19A neuváži vo svojom srdci, a niet u neho známosti ani rozumu, aby povedal: Polovicu toho som spálil na ohni, ba aj som napiekol chleba pri jeho uhlí, upiekol som mäso a jedol som, či tedy mám spraviť z jeho zbytku ohavnosť, či mám kľakať a klaňať sa klátu dreva?!
20He feedeth on ashes; a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
20Pasie sa na popole; oklamané srdce ho odklonilo, a nevytrhne svojej duše ani nepovie: Či nie je to klam v mojej pravici?
21Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for thou art my servant; I have formed thee: thou art my servant, Israel; thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
21Pamätaj na to, Jakobe, a Izraelu, lebo ty si môj služobník! Utvoril som ťa; ty si môj služobník. Ó, Izraelu; nebudeš u mňa zabudnutý!
22I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
22Zahladím tvoje prestúpenia ako hustý oblak a jako mrákavu tvoje hriechy. Navráť sa ku mne, lebo som ťa vykúpil!
23Sing, ye heavens; for Jehovah hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, the forest, and every tree therein! For Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
23Plesajte, nebesia, lebo to učinil Hospodin! Pokrikujte radostne, spodiny zeme! Jasajte s plesotom, vrchy, hora i všetky stromy, ktoré sú v nej, lebo Hospodin vykúpil Jakoba a v Izraelovi sa nádherne oslávil!
24Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb: I [am] Jehovah, the maker of all things; who alone stretched out the heavens, who did spread forth the earth by myself;
24Takto hovorí Hospodin, tvoj vykupiteľ, a ten, ktorý ťa utvoril od života matky: Ja Hospodin činím všetko: sám rozprestieram nebesia, rozťahujem zem zo svojej vlastnej moci;
25-- he that frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
25marím znamenia márnotlachov a z veštcov robím bláznov; zavraciam múdrych zpät a ich vedu obraciam na bláznovstvo;
26that confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built up, and I will raise up their ruins;
26staviam pevne slovo svojho služobníka, aby stálo, a radu svojich poslov vykonávam, ja, ktorý hovorím o Jeruzaleme: Bude obydlený! a o mestách Júdových: Budú vystavené! A jeho spustošeniny znova vybudujem;
27that saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers;
27ktorý hovorím hlbine: Vyschni! A obe tvoje rieky vysuším,
28that saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and he shall perform all my pleasure; even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
28ktorý hovorím o Cýrovi - Môj pastier. A vykoná všetko, čo sa mi bude ľúbiť, a povie o Jeruzaleme: Nech sa vystaví! a o chráme: Nech sa založí!
