41–BOB
Xudoning Isroil xalqiga bergan vaʼdasi
1 Egam aytar: “Mening oldimda sukut saqlang,
Ey dengiz ortidagi yurtlar!
Xalqlarning kuchi qayta tiklansin.
Ular yaqinroq kelib, gapirsinlar.
Hukm qilishga birga yigʻilaylik.
2 Kim sharqdan gʻolib shohni chaqirdi?!
Kim uni Oʻz xizmatiga chaqirdi?!
Kim unga elatlarni boʻysundiradi?!
Kim shohlarni oyogʻi ostida ezadi?!
Gʻolib shoh oʻz qilichi bilan
Ularni chopib tashlaydi,
Yoyi bilan ularni somonday uchiradi.
3 Ularni taʼqib qiladi,
Oyoq bosmagan yoʻldan yuradi,
Oʻsha joylardan eson–omon oʻtadi.
4 Bu voqealar ortida turgan kim?!
Boshidan avlodlarni dunyoga keltirgan kim?!
Men emasmi?!
Azaldan Men sizning Egangizman,
Oxirgacha ham Egangiz boʻlaman.
5 Dengiz ortidagi yurtlar
Buni koʻrib, qoʻrqadi.
Yer yuzining toʻrt burchidan titrab,
Ular yaqinlashib keladi.
6 «Qoʻrqmagin», deya hamma
Bir–biriga dalda beradi.
7 Mana, hunarmand odam
Tilla ustasiga dalda beradi.
Misgar: «Ha, yaxshi chiqdi», deb
Temirchiga dalda beradi.
Yiqilib tushmasin deb, butni mixlab qoʻyadi.
8 Ammo sen–chi, ey qulim Isroil,
Ey Oʻzim tanlagan Yoqub nasli,
Doʻstim Ibrohimning avlodi!
9 Seni yerning toʻrt burchidan olib keldim,
Yerning olis burchaklaridan chaqirdim.
Aytdimki: «Sen Mening qulimsan,
Seni tanladim, rad etmadim.»
10 Qoʻrqma, Men sen bilan birgaman,
Vahimaga tushma, Men sening Xudoyingman.
Senga kuch beraman, Oʻzim yordamga kelaman,
Gʻolib oʻng qoʻlim bilan seni qoʻllayman.
11 Ha, senga qarshi boʻlganlarning hammasi
Sharmandayu sharmisor boʻlib qoladi,
Dushmanlaring yoʻq boʻladi, nobud boʻladi.
12 Urush qiladiganlarni izlab ham topa olmaysan,
Sen bilan jang qilganlar tamomila tugab bitadi.
13 Men Oʻzim, Egang Xudo, oʻng qoʻlingni kuchaytiraman,
Senga: «Qoʻrqma, Oʻzim yordamga kelaman» degan Menman.”
14 Egamiz shunday aytmoqda:
“Qoʻrqma, ey Isroil xalqi, Yoqub nasli!
Sen kichkina bir chuvalchangdaysan.
Ammo Oʻzim senga yordam beraman.
Men, Isroil xalqining Muqaddas Xudosi,
Sening qutqaruvchingman.
15 Sendan bugʻdoy yanchadigan xoʻptir yasayman,
Yangi, oʻtkir, tishli xoʻptir qilaman,
Sen togʻlarni yanchasan, ezasan,
Tepaliklarni somon qilasan.
16 Sen ularni sovurib tashlaysan,
Ularni shamol uchirib ketadi.
Boʻron ularni toʻzgʻitadi,
Sen esa Men — Egang tufayli sevinch topasan,
Isroil xalqining Muqaddas Xudosi ila maqtanasan.
17 Qashshoqlaru muhtojlar suv izlar,
Ammo suv yoʻq.
Ogʻizlari chanqoqdan qurib ketgan.
Men, Egangiz, ularga javob beraman,
Men, Isroil xalqining Xudosi, ularni tark etmayman.
18 Yalangʻoch tepaliklardan daryolar oʻtkazaman,
Vodiylar oʻrtasida buloqlar ochaman.
Sahrolarni suv toʻla hovuzlarga aylantiraman,
Qaqragan yerda buloqlar ochaman.
19 Choʻlda sadr, akas, zaytun daraxtlarini,
Hamda mirta butalarini oʻstiraman,
Sahroda sarv, archa, qaragʻay daraxtlarini oʻstiraman.
20 Mana, hamma koʻrib bilsin,
Bularni Men, Egangiz,
Oʻz qoʻlim bilan qilganimni ular tushunsin.
Men, Isroil xalqining Muqaddas Xudosi,
Bularni yaratganimni ular anglab yetsin.”
Butlar foydasizdir
21 Yoqub naslining Shohi — Egamiz, shunday deydi:
“Daʼvolaringizni ayting,
Isbotingizni keltiring.
22 Qani, butlaringizni olib keling,
Kelajakda nima boʻlishini
Butlaringiz aytib bersin.
Oʻtmishda boʻlganlarni tushuntirsin–chi!
Oʻshalar haqida oʻylab koʻraylik.
Oxiri nima boʻlishini bilaylik.
Ha, boʻladiganlarni bizga aytsin.
23 Ey butlar! Kelajakni bizga bildiring,
Shunda xudo ekanligingizni bilamiz.
Biron yaxshilik yoki yomonlik qilib koʻring–chi,
Koʻrib, birgalikda vahimaga tushaylik.
24 Axir, sizlar hech nima emassiz,
Ishlaringiz esa undan ham battar.
Sizni tanlaganning oʻzi jirkanchdir.
25 Men shimoldan bir yetakchi chaqirdim.
Ana, u keladi.
Sharqdan kelib, Mening nomimga shuhrat keltiradi.
Hukmdorlarni u tuproqday oyoq osti qiladi,
Kulolning loyiday qilib tepkilaydi.
26 Kim buni oldindan aytibdiki, biz bilibmiz?!
Kim buni ilgari bildiribdiki, «U haq edi», deb aytsak?!
Butlar bu haqda gapirmadi, xabar bermadi,
Hech kim ularning ovozini eshitmadi.
27 Men, Egangiz, birinchi boʻlib bu xushxabarni Quddusga yetkazdim,
Sionga elchi joʻnatib, shunday deb aytishni buyurdim:
Xalqing kelyapti! Ular uylariga qaytib kelishyapti!
28 Men butlarga qaradim,
Lekin ular Menga hech narsa aytmadi.
Savolimga ular javob bermadi.
29 Qarang, butlarning hammasi soxta,
Qilgan ishlari hech nima emas,
Hamma butlar shamolday behuda.”
1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. 2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. 3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. 4 Who hath wrought and done it , calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. 5 The isles saw it , and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. 6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage. 7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. 8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. 9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10 ¶ Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. 16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. 17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: 20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons , saith the King of Jacob. 22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be , that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. 23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. 24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you. 25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay. 26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words. 27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. 28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word. 29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
