< Izaija 60 >
1 Ustani, zasini, jer svjetlost tvoja dolazi, nad tobom blista Slava Jahvina.
Be enlightened, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 A zemlju, evo, tmina pokriva, i mrklina narode! A tebe obasjava Jahve, i Slava se njegova javlja nad tobom.
Behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and [there shall be] gross darkness on the nations: but the Lord shall appear upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 K tvojoj svjetlosti koračaju narodi, i kraljevi k istoku tvoga sjaja.
And kings shall walk in thy light, and nations in thy brightness.
4 Podigni oči, obazri se: svi se sabiru, k tebi dolaze. Sinovi tvoji dolaze izdaleka, kćeri ti nose u naručju.
Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold thy children gathered: all thy sons have come from far, and thy daughters shall be borne on [men's] shoulders.
5 Gledat ćeš tad i sjati radošću, igrat će srce i širit' se, jer k tebi će poteći bogatstvo mora, blago naroda k tebi će pritjecati.
Then shalt thou see, and fear, and be amazed in thine heart; for the wealth of the sea shall come round to thee, and of nations and peoples; and herds of camels shall come to thee,
6 Mnoštvo deva prekrit će te, jednogrbe deve iz Midjana i Efe. Svi će iz Šebe doći donoseći zlato i tamjan i hvale Jahvi pjevajući.
and the camels of Madiam and Gaepha shall cover thee: all from Saba shall come bearing gold, and shall bring frankincense, and they shall publish the salvation of the Lord.
7 Sva stada kedarska u tebi će se sabrati, ovnovi nebajotski bit će ti na službu. Penjat će se k'o ugodna žrtva na moj žrtvenik, proslavit ću Dom Slave svoje!
And all the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered, and the rams of Nabaeoth shall come; and acceptable sacrifices shall be offered on my altar, and my house of prayer shall be glorified.
8 Tko su oni što lebde poput oblaka, k'o golubovi prema golubinjacima svojim?
Who are these [that] fly as clouds, and as doves with young ones to me?
9 Da, to se zbog mene sabiru brodovi, lađe su taršiške pred njima da izdaleka dovezu tvoje sinove, a s njima srebro njihovo i zlato, zbog imena Jahve, Boga tvojega, zbog Sveca Izraelova koji te proslavi.
The isles have waited for me, and the ships of Tharsis among the first, to bring thy children from afar, and their silver and their gold with them, and [that] for the sake of the holy name of the Lord, and because the Holy One of Israel is glorified.
10 Zidine će tvoje obnoviti stranci i kraljevi njihovi služit će ti. U svojoj srdžbi ja sam te udario, al' u svojoj naklonosti opet ti se smilovah.
And strangers shall build thy walls, and their kings shall wait upon thee: for by reason of my wrath I smote thee, and by reason of mercy I loved thee.
11 Vrata će tvoja biti otvorena svagda, ni danju ni noću neće se zatvarati, da propuste k tebi bogatstva naroda s kraljevima koji ih vode.
And thy gates shall be opened continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; to bring in to thee the power of the Gentiles, and their kings as captives.
12 Jer propast će narod i kraljevstvo koje ti ne bude htjelo služiti, i ti će se narodi sasvim zatrti.
For the nations and the kings which will not serve thee shall perish; and those nations shall be made utterly desolate.
13 K tebi će doći slava Libanona, čempresi, jele i brijestovi skupa, da ukrase prostor mojega Svetišta, podnožje će moje proslaviti!
And the glory of Libanus shall come to thee, with the cypress, and pine, and cedar together, to glorify my holy place.
14 K tebi će, sagnuti, dolaziti sinovi tvojih tlačitelja, pred noge ti padat' koji te prezirahu. Nazivat će te Gradom Jahvinim, Sionom Sveca Izraelova.
And the sons of them that afflicted thee, and of them that provoked thee, shall come to thee in fear; and thou shalt be called Sion, the city of the Holy One of Israel.
15 Zato što si bio ostavljen, omražen, izbjegavan, učinit ću te vječnim ponosom, radošću od koljena do koljena.
Because thou has become desolate and hated, and there was no helper, therefore I will make thee a perpetual gladness, a joy of many generations.
16 Ti ćeš sisati mlijeko naroda, sisat ćeš grudi kraljeva. I znat ćeš da sam ja, Jahve, Spasitelj tvoj, Silni Jakovljev, tvoj Otkupitelj.
And thou shalt suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt eat the wealth of kings: and shalt know that I am the Lord that saves thee and delivers thee, the Holy One of Israel.
17 Mjesto mjedi, donijet ću zlato; mjesto željeza, donijet ću srebro; mjesto drva, mjed; mjesto kamena, željezo. Za glavara tvoga postavit ću Mir, Pravdu za vladara.
And for brass I will bring thee gold, and for iron I will bring thee silver, and instead of wood I will bring thee brass, and instead of stones, iron; and I will make thy princes peaceable, and thine overseers righteous.
18 Više se neće slušat' o nasilju u tvojoj zemlji ni o pustošenju i razaranju na tvojem području. Zidine ćeš svoje nazivati Spasom, Slavom svoja vrata.
And injustice shall no more be heard in thy land, nor destruction nor misery in thy coasts; but thy walls shall be called Salvation, and thy gates Sculptured Work.
19 Neće ti više sunce biti svjetlost danju nit' će ti svijetlit' mjesečina, nego će Jahve biti tvoje vječno svjetlo i tvoj će Bog biti tvoj sjaj.
And thou shalt no more have the sun for a light by day, nor shall the rising of the moon lighten thy night; but the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and God thy glory.
20 Sunce tvoje neće više zalaziti nit' će ti mjesec pomrčati, jer će Jahve biti tvoje vječno svjetlo, i okončat će se dani tvoje žalosti.
For the sun shall no more set, nor shall the moon be eclipsed; for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be completed.
21 Svi u tvom narodu bit će pravednici i posjedovat će zemlju dovijeka, mog nasada izdanci, mojih ruku djelo, da bih se u njima proslavio.
Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever, preserving that which they have planted, [even] the works of their hands, for glory.
22 Od najmanjega postat će tisuća, od neznatnoga moćan narod. Ja, Jahve, govorio sam; u pravo ću vrijeme izvršiti.
The little one shall become thousands, and the least a great nation; I the Lord will gather them in [due] time.
