Isaiah 54
1 Yahweh says, “You [people of Jerusalem] [MET], start to sing! You [who are like] [MET] women who have never given birth to children, sing loudly and shout joyfully, because you, [who are like] [MET] childless women who have been abandoned [by their husbands], will [soon] have more children than women who have never had any children.
Весели се, нероткињо која не рађаш, запевај и покликни ти, која не трпиш муке од порођаја, јер пуста има више деце него ли она која има мужа, вели Господ.
2 Make your tents larger; make them wider, and fasten them firmly with tent pegs.
Рашири место шатора свог, и завесе стана твог нека се разастру, не брани, продужи ужа своја, коље своје утврди.
3 [You will need to make your city much larger] because [soon] you and your descendants will spread all over the land. They will force the people of [other] nations [who now live in your cities] to leave, and you will live [again] in those cities [that were previously abandoned].
Јер ћеш се надесно и налево распространити, и семе ће твоје наследити народе, и пусте ће градове населити.
4 Do not be afraid; you will no [longer] be ashamed. Previously you were ashamed [because your enemies conquered you] and caused many of your women to become widows, but [soon] you will not even remember that.
Не бој се, јер се нећеш осрамотити, и немој се стидети, јер нећеш бити прекорна, него ћеш заборавити срамоту младости своје, и прекора удовиштва свог нећеш се више сећати.
5 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the Holy one of Israel, who rules over the whole earth, the one who created you, will be [like] [MET] a husband to you.
Јер ти је муж Творац твој, име Му је Господ над војскама, и Избавитељ ти је Светац Израиљев, Бог свој земљи зваће се.
6 You were like a woman whose husband left her, and caused you to be very sad; you were like a young woman who got married when she was [very] young, and then her husband abandoned her.
Јер као жену остављену и у духу ожалошћену дозва те Господ, и као младу жену пуштену, говори Господ.
7 I abandoned you [people of Jerusalem] for a while, but [now] I am saying, ‘I will take you back.’
Замало оставих те, али с великом милошћу прибраћу те.
8 I was very angry with you for a while, and I turned away from you. But I will act mercifully toward you and I will faithfully love you forever. That is what [I], Yahweh, your protector, say to you.
У малом гневу сакрих за час лице своје од тебе, али ћу те вечном милошћу помиловати, вели Избавитељ твој Господ.
9 During the time that Noah lived, I solemnly promised that I would never again allow a flood to cover the earth. So [now] I solemnly promise that I will not be angry with you again and (rebuke you/threaten to punish you).
Јер ми је то као потоп Нојев: јер као што се заклех да потоп Нојев неће више доћи на земљу, тако се заклех да се нећу разгневити на те нити ћу те карати.
10 Even if the mountains and hills shake and collapse, I will not stop faithfully loving you, and I will not cancel my agreement to cause things to go well for you. That is what [I], Yahweh, who act mercifully, say.
Ако ће се и горе помакнути и хумови се поколебати, опет милост моја неће се одмакнути од тебе, и завет мира мог неће се поколебати, вели Господ, који ти је милостив.
11 You [people of Jerusalem] [APO], [your enemies acted very violently toward you]; [it was as though] your city was battered by a severe storm, and no one helped you. But [now] I will cause your city to be rebuilt with stones made of (turquoise/valuable stones), and I will cause the foundations of the city to be made of (sapphires/valuable blue stones).
Невољнице, коју ветар размеће, која си без утехе, ево ја ћу наместити камење твоје на мрамору порфирном, и основаћу те на сафирима.
12 I will cause the towers on the city wall to be made of (rubies/valuable red stones), and all the gates of the city will be made of [other] very valuable stones.
И начинићу ти прозоре од кристала, и врата од камена рубина, и све међе твоје од драгог камења.
13 I will be the one who will teach you people and cause things to go well with you.
А синови ће твоји сви бити научени од Господа, и обилан мир имаће синови твоји.
14 Your [government] will be strong because of acting justly/fairly; no one will (oppress you/cause you to suffer); you will not be afraid, because there will be nothing [PRS] that will (terrorize you/cause you to become extremely afraid).
Правдом ћеш се утврдити, далеко ћеш бити од насиља, те се нећеш бојати, и од страхоте, јер ти се неће приближити.
15 If any army attacks you, it will not be because I have incited them to do that, and you will defeat any group that attacks you.
Гле, биће их који ће се сабирати на те, али неће бити од мене; који се год саберу на те, пашће.
16 Think about this: (Blacksmiths/Men who make things from metal) fan the coals to make a very hot flame in order to produce weapons that can be used [in battles], but I am the one who has produced blacksmiths! And I am also the one who created people who destroy [other people and cities].
Гле, ја сам створио ковача који распаљује угљевље и вади оруђе за свој посао, ја сам створио и крвника да убија.
17 [But I am promising you that I will] not allow you to be defeated/injured by soldiers using weapons that have been made to attack you, and when others try to accuse you, you will (refute them/show that they are wrong). That is the reward that I will give to the people who serve me; I will defend them; that is what [I], Yahweh, promise.”
Никакво оружје начињено против тебе неће бити срећно, и сваки језик који се подигне на те на суду сапрећеш. То је наследство слуга Господњих и правда њихова од мене, вели Господ.
