< Izaija 62 >

1 Sionu za ljubav neću šutjeti, Jeruzalema radi neću mirovati dok pravda njegova ne zasine k'o svjetlost, dok njegovo spasenje ne plane k'o zublja.
For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2 I puci će vidjet' tvoju pravednost, i tvoju slavu svi kraljevi; prozvat će te novim imenom što će ga odrediti usta Jahvina.
And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory. And thou shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name.
3 U Jahvinoj ćeš ruci biti kruna divna i kraljevski vijenac na dlanu Boga svog.
Thou shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
4 Neće te više zvati Ostavljenom ni zemlju tvoju Opustošenom, nego će te zvati Moja milina, a zemlju tvoju Udata, jer ti si milje Jahvino i zemlja će tvoja imat' supruga.
Thou shall no more be termed Forsaken, nor shall thy land any more be termed Desolate. But thou shall be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah, for Jehovah delights in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 Kao što se mladić ženi djevicom, tvoj će se graditelj tobom oženiti; i kao što se ženik raduje nevjesti, tvoj će se Bog tebi radovati.
For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee. And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 Na zidine tvoje, Jeruzaleme, stražare sam postavio: ni danju ni noću ne smiju zašutjeti. O, vi koji podsjećate Jahvu, vama nema počinka!
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem. They shall never keep silent day nor night. Ye who are Jehovah's reminders, take ye no rest,
7 I ne dajte mu mira dok ne obnovi Jeruzalem, dok ga opet slavom na zemlji ne učini.
and give him no rest, till he establishes, and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 Zakle se Gospod desnicom i mišicom svojom snažnom: “Neću više dati žita tvoga za hranu neprijateljima. Neće više tuđinci piti tvoga vina o kojem si teško radio.
Jehovah has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies, and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou have labored.
9 Neka ga jedu oni koji su ga želi i neka hvale Jahvu, neka ga piju oni što su ga trgali u predvorju mojega Svetišta!”
But those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah. And those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
10 Prođite, prođite kroz vrata, poravnajte put narodu! Nasipajte, nasipajte cestu, uklonite s nje kamenje. Podignite stijeg narodima!
Go through, go through the gates. Prepare ye the way of the people. Cast up, cast up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up an ensign for the peoples.
11 Evo, Jahve oglasuje do nakraj zemlje: “Recite kćeri sionskoj: Evo, dolazi tvoj spasitelj. Evo, s njim naplata njegova i njegova nagrada ispred njega!
Behold, Jehovah has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
12 Oni će se zvati 'Sveti narod', 'Otkupljenici Jahvini'. A tebe će zvati 'Traženi' - 'Grad neostavljeni'.”
And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah. And thou shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
