1A tak teraz počuj, Jakobe, môj služobníku, a Izraelu, ktorého som si vyvolil!
1And now, hear, O Jacob, My servant, And Israel, whom I have fixed on:
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,
2Thus said Jehovah, thy Maker, and thy Former, From the womb He doth help thee; Fear not, my servant Jacob, And Jeshurun, whom I have fixed on.
3lebo vylejem vody na žíznivé a potoky na sušinu; vylejem svojho Ducha na tvoje semä a svoje požehnanie na tvojich potomkov,
3For I pour waters on a thirsty one, And floods on a dry land, I pour My Spirit on thy seed, And My blessing on thine offspring.
4a budú rásť na spôsob trávy, jako vrbina pri potokoch vody.
4And they have sprung up as among grass, As willows by streams of water.
5Tento povie: Ja som Hospodinov, a tamten bude vzývať meno Boha Jakobovho, a iný sa zapíše svojou rukou Hospodinovi a pridá si meno Izrael.
5This [one] saith, For Jehovah I [am], And this calleth [himself] by the name of Jacob, And this [one] writeth [with] his hand, `For Jehovah,` and by the name of Israel surnameth himself.
6Takto hovorí Hospodin, Kráľ Izraelov, a jeho vykupiteľ, Hospodin Zástupov: Ja som prvý a ja som i posledný, a krome mňa niet Boha
6Thus said Jehovah, king of Israel, And his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: `I [am] the first, and I the last, And besides Me there is no God.
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!
7And who as I, doth call and declare it, And arrange it for Me, Since My placing the people of antiquity, And things that are coming, And those that do come, declare they to them?
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.
8Fear not, nor be afraid, Have I not from that time caused thee to hear, and declared? And ye [are] My witnesses, Is there a God besides Me? yea, there is none, A Rock I have not known.
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.
9Framers of a graven image [are] all of them emptiness, And their desirable things do not profit, And their own witnesses they [are], They see not, nor know, that they may be ashamed.
10Kto tedy bude formovať boha alebo liať rytinu, aby nič neprospela?!
10Who hath formed a god, And a molten image poured out — not profitable?
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!
11Lo, all his companions are ashamed, As to artizans — they [are] of men, All of them gather together, they stand up, They fear, they are ashamed together.
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.
12He hath wrought iron [with] an axe, And hath wrought with coals, And with hammers doth form it, And doth work it by his powerful arm, Yea, he is hungry, and there is no power, He doth not drink water, and he is wearied.
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.
13He hath wrought [with] wood, He hath stretched out a rule, He doth mark it out with a line, He maketh it with carving tools, And with a compass he marketh it out, And maketh it according to the form of a man, According to the beauty of a man, To remain in the house.
14Ide si zoťať cedry; vezme hrab a dub a vyberie si pevné medzi stromami lesa; zasadí jasen, a dážď pôsobí vzrast.
14Cutting down to himself cedars, He taketh also a cypress, and an oak, And he strengtheneth [it] for himself Among the trees of a forest, He hath planted an ash, and the shower doth nourish [it].
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.
15And it hath been for man to burn, And he taketh of them, and becometh warm, Yea, he kindleth [it], and hath baked bread, Yea, he maketh a god, and boweth himself, He hath made it a graven image, And he falleth down to it.
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!
16Half of it he hath burnt in the fire, By [this] half of it he eateth flesh, He roasteth a roasting, and is satisfied, Yea, he is warm, and saith: `Aha, I have become warm, I have enjoyed the light.
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!
17And its remnant for a god he hath made — For his graven image, He falleth down to it, and worshippeth, And prayeth unto it, and he saith, `Deliver me, for my god thou [art].`
18Nevedia ani nechápu, lebo zaslepil ich oči, aby nevideli, ich srdcia, aby nerozumeli.
18They have not known, nor do they understand, For He hath daubed their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely.
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?!
19And none doth turn [it] back unto his heart, Nor hath knowledge nor understanding to say, `Half of it I have burned in the fire, Yea, also, I have baked bread over its coals, I roast flesh and I eat, And its remnant for an abomination I make, To the stock of a tree I fall down.`
20Pasie sa na popole; oklamané srdce ho odklonilo, a nevytrhne svojej duše ani nepovie: Či nie je to klam v mojej pravici?
20Feeding on ashes, the heart is deceived, It hath turned him aside, And he delivereth not his soul, nor saith: `Is there not a lie in my right hand?`
21Pamätaj na to, Jakobe, a Izraelu, lebo ty si môj služobník! Utvoril som ťa; ty si môj služobník. Ó, Izraelu; nebudeš u mňa zabudnutý!
21Remember these, O Jacob, and Israel, For My servant thou [art], I formed thee, a servant to Me thou [art], O Israel, thou dost not forget Me.
22Zahladím tvoje prestúpenia ako hustý oblak a jako mrákavu tvoje hriechy. Navráť sa ku mne, lebo som ťa vykúpil!
22I have blotted out, as [by] a thick cloud, Thy transgressions, And as [by] a cloud thy sins, Return unto Me, for I have redeemed thee.
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!
23Sing, O heavens, for Jehovah hath wrought, Shout, O lower parts of earth, Break forth, O mountains, with singing, Forest, and every tree in it, For Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, And in Israel He doth beautify Himself.
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;
24Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, And thy framer from the womb: `I [am] Jehovah, doing all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself, Spreading out the earth — who [is] with Me?
25marím znamenia márnotlachov a z veštcov robím bláznov; zavraciam múdrych zpät a ich vedu obraciam na bláznovstvo;
25Making void the tokens of devisers, And diviners it maketh mad, Turning the wise backward, And their knowledge it maketh foolish.
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;
26Confirming the word of His servant, The counsel of His messengers it perfecteth, Who is saying of Jerusalem, She is inhabited, And of cities of Judah, They shall be built, and her wastes I raise up,
27ktorý hovorím hlbine: Vyschni! A obe tvoje rieky vysuším,
27Who is saying to the deep, Be dry, and thy rivers I cause to dry up,
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!
28Who is saying of Cyrus, My shepherd, And all my delight He doth perfect, So as to say of Jerusalem, Thou art built, And of the temple, Thou art founded.
