Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you.
Probudi se! Probudi se! Odjeni se snagom, Sione! Odjeni se najsjajnijim haljinama, Jeruzaleme, grade sveti, jer više neće k tebi ulaziti neobrezani i nečisti.
2 Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem. Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.
Otresi prah sa sebe, ustani, izgnani Jeruzaleme! Skini okov sa svog vrata, izgnana kćeri sionska.”
3 For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”
Jest, ovako govori Jahve: “Bili ste prodani nizašto i bit ćete otkupljeni bez novaca.”
4 For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.
Jest, ovako govori Gospod Jahve: “Moj je narod sišao nekoć u Egipat da se ondje nastani kao stranac, potom ga Asirci nizašto potlačiše.
5 And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long.
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.
6 Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”
Zato će narod moj poznati moje ime i shvatit će u onaj dan da sam ja koji govorim: 'Evo me!'”
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Kako su ljupke po gorama noge glasonoše radosti koji oglašava mir, nosi sreću, i spasenje naviješta govoreć Sionu: “Bog tvoj kraljuje!”
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the LORD returns to Zion.
Čuj, stražari ti glas podižu, zajedno svi kliču od radosti, jer na svoje oči vide gdje se na Sion vraća Jahve.
9 Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.
Radujte se, kličite, razvaline jeruzalemske, jer je Jahve utješio narod svoj i otkupio Jeruzalem.
10 The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
Ogolio je Jahve svetu svoju mišicu pred očima svih naroda, da svi krajevi zemaljski vide spasenje Boga našega.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.
Odlazite, odlazite, iziđite odatle, ne dotičite ništa nečisto! Iziđite iz njegove sredine! Očistite se, vi koji nosite posude Jahvine!
12 For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.
Jer nećete izići u hitnji, niti ćete ići bježeći, jer će vam prethodnica biti Jahve, a zalaznica Bog Izraelov!
13 Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Gle, uspjet će Sluga moj, podignut će se, uzvisit' i proslaviti!
14 Just as many were appalled at Him — His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—
Kao što se mnogi užasnuše vidjevši ga - tako mu je lice bilo neljudski iznakaženo te obličjem više nije naličio na čovjeka -
15 so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.
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:
