Isaiah 54
1 Rejoice, O barren that diddest not beare: breake forth into ioy and reioyce, thou that diddest not trauaile with childe: for the desolate hath moe children then the married wife, sayeth the Lord.
Kliči, nerotkinjo, koja nisi rađala; podvikuj od radosti, ti što ne znaš za trudove! Jer osamljena više djece ima negoli udata, kaže Jahve.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tents, and let them spread out the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, stretch out thy cords and make fast thy stakes.
Raširi prostor svog šatora, razastri, ne štedi platna svog prebivališta, produži mu užeta, kolčiće učvrsti!
3 For thou shalt increase on the right hande and on the left, and thy seede shall possesse the Gentiles, and dwell in the desolate cities.
Jer proširit ćeš se desno i lijevo. Tvoje će potomstvo zavladat' narodima i napučit će opustjele gradove.
4 Feare not: for thou shalt not be ashamed, neither shalt thou be confounded: for thou shalt not bee put to shame: yea, thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproch of thy widdowhoode any more.
Ne boj se, nećeš se postidjeti; na srami se, nećeš se crvenjeti. Zaboravit ćeš sramotu svoje mladosti i više se nećeš spominjati rugla udovištva svoga.
5 For hee that made thee, is thine husband (whose Name is the Lord of hostes) and thy redeemer the Holy one of Israel, shall be called the God of the whole world.
Jer suprug ti je tvoj Stvoritelj, ime mu je Jahve nad Vojskama; tvoj je Otkupitelj Svetac Izraelov, Bog zemlje svekolike on se zove.
6 For the Lord hath called thee, being as a woman forsaken, and afflicted in spirite, and as a yong wife when thou wast refused, sayth thy God.
Jest, k'o ženu ostavljenu, u duši ucviljenu, Jahve te pozvao. Zar se smije otpustiti žena svoje mladosti, pita Bog tvoj.
7 For a litle while haue I forsaken thee, but with great compassion will I gather thee.
“Za kratak trenutak ostavih tebe, al' u sućuti velikoj opet ću te prigrliti.
8 For a moment, in mine anger, I hid my face from thee for a litle season, but with euerlasting mercy haue I had compassion on thee, sayth the Lord thy redeemer.
U provali srdžbe sakrih načas od tebe lice svoje, al' u ljubavi vječnoj smilovah se tebi,” govori Jahve, tvoj Otkupitelj.
9 For this is vnto me as the waters of Noah: for as I haue sworne that the waters of Noah should no more goe ouer the earth, so haue I sworne that I would not be angrie with thee, nor rebuke thee.
“Bit će mi k'o za Noinih dana, kad se zakleh da vode Noine neće više preplaviti zemlju; tako se zaklinjem da se više neću na tebe srditi nit' ću ti prijetiti.
10 For the mountaines shall remoue and the hilles shall fall downe: but my mercy shall not depart from thee, neither shall the couenant of my peace fall away, saith the Lord, that hath compassion on thee.
Nek' se pokrenu planine i potresu brijezi, al' se ljubav moja neće odmać' od tebe, nit' će se pokolebati moj Savez mira,” kaže Jahve koji ti se smilovao.
11 O thou afflicted and tossed with tempest, that hast no comfort, beholde, I wil lay thy stones with the carbuncle, and lay thy foundation with saphirs,
“O nevoljnice, vihorom vitlana, neutješna, gle, postavit ću na smaragd tvoje kamenje i na safir tvoje temelje.
12 And I will make thy windowes of emeraudes, and thy gates shining stones, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
Od rubina dići ću ti kruništa, vrata tvoja od prozirca, ograde ti od dragulja.
13 And all thy children shalbe taught of the Lord, and much peace shalbe to thy children.
Svi će ti sinovi Jahvini biti učenici, i velika će biti sreća djece tvoje.
14 In righteousnes shalt thou be established, and be farre from oppression: for thou shalt not feare it: and from feare, for it shall not come neere thee.
Na pravdi ćeš biti zasnovana. Odbaci tjeskobu, nemaš se čega bojati, odbaci strah jer ti se neće primaći.
15 Beholde, the enemie shall gather himselfe, but without me: whosoeuer shall gather himselfe in thee, against thee, shall fall.
Ako li te napadnu, neće doći od mene; tko se na te digne, zbog tebe će pasti.
16 Beholde, I haue created the smith that bloweth the coales in the fire, and him that bringeth forth an instrument for his worke, and I haue created the destroyer to destroy.
Gle, ja sam stvorio kovača koji raspaljuje žeravu i vadi iz nje oružje da ga kuje. Ali stvorih i zatornika da uništava.
17 But all the weapons that are made against thee, shall not prosper: and euery tongue that shall rise against thee in iudgement, thou shalt condemne. This is the heritage of the Lords seruants, and their righteousnesse is of me, sayth the Lord.
Neće uspjeti oružje protiv tebe skovano. Dokazat ćeš da je zao svaki jezik što na te udari na sudu. To je baština slugu Jahvinih, to im je pobjeda od mene” - riječ je Jahvina.
