Isaiah 61
1 The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to them that are bound;
Duh Jahve Gospoda na meni je, jer me Jahve pomaza, posla me da radosnu vijest donesem ubogima, da iscijelim srca slomljena; da zarobljenima navijestim slobodu i oslobođenje sužnjevima;
2 to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
da navijestim godinu milosti Jahvine i dan odmazde Boga našega; da razveselim ožalošćene na Sionu
3 to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
i da im dadem vijenac mjesto pepela, ulje radosti mjesto ruha žalosti, pjesmu zahvalnicu mjesto duha očajna. I zvat će ih Hrastovima pravde, Nasadom Jahvinim - na slavu njegovu.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Oni će nanovo dići drevne razvaline, sazdati opet mjesta poharana, ruševine prošlih pokoljenja.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and aliens shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Tuđinci će doći da vam stada pasu, stranci će vam biti ratari i vinogradari.
6 But ye shall be named the priests of the LORD: men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
A vas će zvati “Svećenici Jahvini”, nazivat će vas “Službenici Boga našega”. Uživat ćete bogatstva naroda, blagom se njihovim dičiti.
7 For your shame [ye shall have] double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Dvostruka bijaše njihova sramota - rug i prezir bijahu im baština - zato će u zemlji svojoj baštinit' dvostruko, njihova će biti radost vječita.
8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompence in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Jer ja, Jahve, ljubim pravdu, a mrzim grabež nepravedni. Vjerno ću ih nagraditi i sklopiti s njima Savez vječni.
9 And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
Slavno će im biti sjeme među pucima i potomstvo među narodima. Tko god ih vidi, prepoznat će da su sjeme što ga Jahve blagoslovi.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Radošću silnom u Jahvi se radujem, duša moja kliče u Bogu mojemu, jer me odjenu haljinom spasenja, zaogrnu plaštem pravednosti, kao ženik kad sebi vijenac stavi il' nevjesta kad se uresi nakitom.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Kao što zemlja tjera svoje klice, kao što u vrtu niče sjemenje, učinit će Gospod da iznikne pravda i hvala pred svim narodima.
