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, will I not hold my peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake, will I not rest, —Until her righteousness, go forth as brightness, And her salvation, as a torch that is lighted.
2 I puci će vidjet' tvoju pravednost, i tvoju slavu svi kraljevi; prozvat će te novim imenom što će ga odrediti usta Jahvina.
So shall nations see thy righteousness, And all kings, thy glory; And thou shalt be called by a new name, which, the mouth of Yahweh, will name.
3 U Jahvinoj ćeš ruci biti kruna divna i kraljevski vijenac na dlanu Boga svog.
Then shalt thou become—A crown of adorning, in the hand of Yahweh, 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 shalt he termed no longer—Forsaken Nor shall thy land be termed any longer A desolation, But, thou, shalt be called Hephzibah ["My delight is in her"], And, thy land, Beulah ["married"], —For Yahweh hath found delight 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 a young man marrieth, a virgin, Thy sons marry thee! And the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride—Thy God, rejoiceth 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!
Upon thy walls O Jerusalem, have I appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night through, let them not hold their peace, —O ye that put Yahweh in mind, Do not take rest to yourselves,
7 I ne dajte mu mira dok ne obnovi Jeruzalem, dok ga opet slavom na zemlji ne učini.
Neither give rest, unto him, Until he establish and until he set forth Jerusalem as 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.
Sworn hath Yahweh—By his own right hand, and By his own strong arm, —Surely I will give thy corn no more, as food to thine enemies, Nor shall the sons of the foreigner drink thy new wine, for which thou hast toiled;
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 they who have garnered it, shall eat it, and praise Yahweh, —And they who have gathered in its clusters, shall drink it in my holy courts.
10 Prođite, prođite kroz vrata, poravnajte put narodu! Nasipajte, nasipajte cestu, uklonite s nje kamenje. Podignite stijeg narodima!
Pass ye through pass ye through the gates, Prepare ye the way of the people, —Cast ye up, cast ye up the highway, Clear it of stones, Lift ye high a standard unto 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!
Lo! Yahweh, hath sent a message unto the end of the earth: Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy Salvation, is coming, —Lo! 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'.”
So shall men call them—The holy people The redeemed of Yahweh, —And, thou, shalt be called—Sought out, A city not forsaken,
