Isaiah 54
1 “Sing, O barren, she [who] has not borne! Break forth with singing, and cry aloud, She [who] has not brought forth! For more [are] the sons of the desolate, Than the sons of the married one,” said YHWH.
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 your tent, And they stretch out the curtains of your dwelling places, Do not restrain—lengthen your cords, And make your pins strong.
Raširi prostor svog šatora, razastri, ne štedi platna svog prebivališta, produži mu užeta, kolčiće učvrsti!
3 For you break forth right and left, And nations possess your seed,
Jer proširit ćeš se desno i lijevo. Tvoje će potomstvo zavladat' narodima i napučit će opustjele gradove.
4 And they cause desolate cities to be inhabited. Do not fear, for you are not ashamed, Nor blush, for you are not confounded, For you forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood You do not remember anymore.
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 your Maker [is] your husband, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, And your Redeemer [is] the Holy One of Israel, He is called God of all the earth.
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 as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, YHWH has called you, Even a youthful wife when she is refused,” said your God.
Jest, k'o ženu ostavljenu, u duši ucviljenu, Jahve te pozvao. Zar se smije otpustiti žena svoje mladosti, pita Bog tvoj.
7 “In a small moment I have forsaken you, And in great mercies I gather you,
“Za kratak trenutak ostavih tebe, al' u sućuti velikoj opet ću te prigrliti.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid My face [for] a moment from you, And in perpetual kindness I have loved you, Said your Redeemer—YHWH!
U provali srdžbe sakrih načas od tebe lice svoje, al' u ljubavi vječnoj smilovah se tebi,” govori Jahve, tvoj Otkupitelj.
9 For this [is as] the days of Noah to Me, In that I have sworn that the waters of Noah Do not pass over the earth again—So I have sworn, Wrath is not on you, Nor rebuke against you.
“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 mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My kindness does not depart from you, And the covenant of My peace does not remove,” Says YHWH, your loving one.
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 afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, Behold, I am laying your stones with cement, And have founded you with sapphires,
“O nevoljnice, vihorom vitlana, neutješna, gle, postavit ću na smaragd tvoje kamenje i na safir tvoje temelje.
12 And have made your pinnacles of agate, And your gates of carbuncle stones, And all your border of stones of delight,
Od rubina dići ću ti kruništa, vrata tvoja od prozirca, ograde ti od dragulja.
13 And all your sons are taught of YHWH, And the peace of your sons [is] abundant.
Svi će ti sinovi Jahvini biti učenici, i velika će biti sreća djece tvoje.
14 You establish yourself in righteousness, Be far from oppression, for you do not fear, And from ruin, for it does not come near to you.
Na pravdi ćeš biti zasnovana. Odbaci tjeskobu, nemaš se čega bojati, odbaci strah jer ti se neće primaći.
15 Behold, he diligently assembles without My desire, Whoever has assembled near you falls by you!
Ako li te napadnu, neće doći od mene; tko se na te digne, zbog tebe će pasti.
16 Behold, I have created an artisan, Blowing on a fire of coals, And bringing out an instrument for his work, And I have created a 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 No weapon formed against you prospers, And every tongue rising against you, You condemn in judgment. This [is] the inheritance of the servants of YHWH, And their righteousness from Me,” a declaration of YHWH!
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.
