Izaija 52
1 Probudi se! Probudi se! Odjeni se snagom, Sione! Odjeni se najsjajnijim haljinama, Jeruzaleme, grade sveti, jer više neće k tebi ulaziti neobrezani i nečisti.
Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Otresi prah sa sebe, ustani, izgnani Jeruzaleme! Skini okov sa svog vrata, izgnana kćeri sionska.”
Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, captive daughter of Zion.
3 Jest, ovako govori Jahve: “Bili ste prodani nizašto i bit ćete otkupljeni bez novaca.”
For thus saith Jehovah: Ye have sold yourselves for nought, and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 Jest, ovako govori Gospod Jahve: “Moj je narod sišao nekoć u Egipat da se ondje nastani kao stranac, potom ga Asirci nizašto potlačiše.
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and Assyria oppressed them without cause;
5 Ali sada, čemu sam ja ovdje - riječ je Jahvina - kad je moj narod bio bez razloga porobljen, a gospodari njegovi likuju - riječ je Jahvina - i bez prestanka se danomice ime moje huli.
and now, what have I here, saith Jehovah, that my people hath been taken away for nought? They that rule over them make them to howl, saith Jehovah; and continually all the day is my name scorned.
6 Zato će narod moj poznati moje ime i shvatit će u onaj dan da sam ja koji govorim: 'Evo me!'”
Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore [they shall know] in that day that I [am] HE, that saith, Here am I.
7 Kako su ljupke po gorama noge glasonoše radosti koji oglašava mir, nosi sreću, i spasenje naviješta govoreć Sionu: “Bog tvoj kraljuje!”
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that announceth glad tidings, that publisheth peace; that announceth glad tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
8 Čuj, stražari ti glas podižu, zajedno svi kliču od radosti, jer na svoje oči vide gdje se na Sion vraća Jahve.
— The voice of thy watchmen, they lift up the voice, they sing aloud together; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah shall bring again Zion.
9 Radujte se, kličite, razvaline jeruzalemske, jer je Jahve utješio narod svoj i otkupio Jeruzalem.
Break forth, sing aloud together, waste places of Jerusalem; for Jehovah comforteth his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Ogolio je Jahve svetu svoju mišicu pred očima svih naroda, da svi krajevi zemaljski vide spasenje Boga našega.
Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11 Odlazite, odlazite, iziđite odatle, ne dotičite ništa nečisto! Iziđite iz njegove sredine! Očistite se, vi koji nosite posude Jahvine!
— Depart, depart, go out from thence, touch not what is unclean; go out of the midst of her, be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Jehovah.
12 Jer nećete izići u hitnji, niti ćete ići bježeći, jer će vam prethodnica biti Jahve, a zalaznica Bog Izraelov!
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear-guard.
13 Gle, uspjet će Sluga moj, podignut će se, uzvisit' i proslaviti!
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently; he shall be exalted and be lifted up, and be very high.
14 Kao što se mnogi užasnuše vidjevši ga - tako mu je lice bilo neljudski iznakaženo te obličjem više nije naličio na čovjeka -
As many were astonished at thee — his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the children of men
15 tako će on mnoge zadiviti narode i kraljevi će pred njim usta stisnuti videć' ono o čemu im nitko nije govorio, shvaćajuć' ono o čemu nikad čuli nisu:
— so shall he astonish many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for what had not been told them shall they see, and what they had not heard shall they consider.
