< Isaiah 61 >
1 The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;
Duh je Gospoda Boga na meni, jer me Gospod pomaza da javljam dobre glase krotkima, posla me da zavijem ranjene u srcu, da oglasim zarobljenima slobodu i sužnjima da æe im se otvoriti tamnica.
2 To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;
Da oglasim godinu milosti Gospodnje i dan osvete Boga našega, da utješim sve žalosne,
3 To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.
Da uèinim žalosnima u Sionu i dam im nakit mjesto pepela, ulje radosti mjesto žalosti, odijelo za pohvalu mjesto duha tužnoga, da se prozovu hrastovi pravde, sad Gospodnji za slavu njegovu.
4 And they will be building again the old broken walls, and will make new the old waste places, and will put up again the towns which have been waste for long generations.
I oni æe sazidati davnašnje pustoline, podignuæe stare razvaline i ponoviæe gradove puste, što leže razvaljeni od mnogo naraštaja.
5 And men from strange countries will be your herdsmen, and those who are not Israelites will be your ploughmen and vine-keepers.
I tuðini æe stajati i pasti stada vaša, i inostranci æe biti vaši oraèi i vinogradari.
6 But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.
A vi æete se zvati sveštenici Gospodnji, sluge Boga našega govoriæe vam se, blago naroda ješæete i slavom njihovom hvaliæete se.
7 As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.
Za dvostruku sramotu vašu, i što se pjevaše: rug je dio njihov, zato æe u zemlji njihovoj naslijediti dvojinom i imaæe vjeènu radost.
8 For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.
Jer ja Gospod ljubim pravdu i mrzim na grabež sa žrtvom paljenicom, i daæu im platu uistinu, i vjeèan zavjet uèiniæu s njima.
9 And their seed will be noted among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: it will be clear to all who see them that they are the seed to which the Lord has given his blessing.
I sjeme æe se njihovo znati u narodima i natražje njihovo meðu plemenima; ko ih god vidi poznaæe ih da su sjeme koje je blagoslovio Gospod.
10 I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.
Veoma æu se radovati u Gospodu, i duša æe se moja veseliti u Bogu mojem, jer me obuèe u haljine spasenja i plaštem pravde ogrte me kao kad ženik namjesti nakit i kao kad se nevjesta uresi uresom svojim.
11 For as the earth puts out buds, and as the garden gives growth to the seeds which are planted in it, so the Lord will make righteousness and praise to be flowering before all the nations.
Jer kao što iz zemlje raste bilje i u vrtu nièe što se posije, tako æe Gospod Bog uèiniti da nikne pravda i pohvala pred svijem narodima.
