< 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, O 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 thee down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion,
3 Jest, ovako govori Jahve: “Bili ste prodani nizašto i bit ćete otkupljeni bez novaca.”
For thus saith the LORD, Ye were sold 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 GOD, My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there: and the Assyrian 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.
Now therefore, what do I here, saith the LORD, seeing that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them do howl, saith the LORD, and my name continually all the day is blasphemed.
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 doth speak; behold, it is 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 bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good 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, together do they sing; for they shall see, eye to eye, when the LORD returneth to Zion.
9 Radujte se, kličite, razvaline jeruzalemske, jer je Jahve utješio narod svoj i otkupio Jeruzalem.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted 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.
The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes 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 ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, ye that bear the vessels of the LORD.
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 in haste, neither shall ye go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward.
13 Gle, uspjet će Sluga moj, podignut će se, uzvisit' i proslaviti!
Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall 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 -
Like as many were astonied at thee, (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons 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 sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand.
