Izaija 60
1 Ustani, zasini, jer svjetlost tvoja dolazi, nad tobom blista Slava Jahvina.
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you!
2 A zemlju, evo, tmina pokriva, i mrklina narode! A tebe obasjava Jahve, i Slava se njegova javlja nad tobom.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
3 K tvojoj svjetlosti koračaju narodi, i kraljevi k istoku tvoga sjaja.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 Podigni oči, obazri se: svi se sabiru, k tebi dolaze. Sinovi tvoji dolaze izdaleka, kćeri ti nose u naručju.
“Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together. They come to you. Your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried in arms.
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 you shall see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you. The wealth of the nations will come to you.
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.
A multitude of camels will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Efah. All from Sheba will come. They will bring gold and frankincense, and will proclaim the praises 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!
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you. The rams of Nebaioth will serve you. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar; and I will beautify my glorious house.
8 Tko su oni što lebde poput oblaka, k'o golubovi prema golubinjacima svojim?
“Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
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.
Surely the islands will wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
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.
“Foreigners will build up your walls, and their kings will serve you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
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.
Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
12 Jer propast će narod i kraljevstvo koje ti ne bude htjelo služiti, i ti će se narodi sasvim zatrti.
For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
13 K tebi će doći slava Libanona, čempresi, jele i brijestovi skupa, da ukrase prostor mojega Svetišta, podnožje će moje proslaviti!
“The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 K tebi će, sagnuti, dolaziti sinovi tvojih tlačitelja, pred noge ti padat' koji te prezirahu. Nazivat će te Gradom Jahvinim, Sionom Sveca Izraelova.
The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you; and all those who despised you will bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. They will call you the LORD’s City, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 Zato što si bio ostavljen, omražen, izbjegavan, učinit ću te vječnim ponosom, radošću od koljena do koljena.
“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, 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.
You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse from royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
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.
For bronze I will bring gold; for iron I will bring silver; for wood, bronze, and for stones, iron. I will also make peace your governor, and righteousness your ruler.
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.
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, nor desolation or destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
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.
The sun will be no more your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your 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.
Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.
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.
Then your people will all be righteous. They will inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 Od najmanjega postat će tisuća, od neznatnoga moćan narod. Ja, Jahve, govorio sam; u pravo ću vrijeme izvršiti.
The little one will become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, the LORD, will do this quickly in its time.”
