Isaiah 54
1 “Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn’t travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says the LORD.
Veseli se, nerotkinjo koja ne raðaš, zapjevaj i poklikni ti, koja ne trpiš muka od poroðaja, jer pusta ima više djece negoli ona koja ima muža, veli Gospod.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
Raširi mjesto šatora svojega, i zavjesi stana tvojega neka se razastru, ne brani, produlji uža svoja, kolje svoje utvrdi.
3 For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in desolate cities.
Jer æeš se nadesno i nalijevo rasprostraniti, i sjeme æe tvoje naslijediti narode, i puste æe gradove naseliti.
4 “Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.
Ne boj se, jer se neæeš osramotiti, i nemoj se stidjeti, jer neæeš biti prijekorna, nego æeš zaboraviti sramotu mladosti svoje, i prijekora udovišta svojega neæeš se više sjeæati.
5 For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth.
Jer ti je muž tvorac tvoj, ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama, i izbavitelj ti je svetac Izrailjev, Bog svoj zemlji zvaæe se.
6 For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.
Jer kao ženu ostavljenu i u duhu ožalošæenu dozva te Gospod, i kao mladu ženu puštenu, govori Gospod.
7 “For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.
Za malo ostavih te, ali s velikom milošæu pribraæu te.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.
U malom gnjevu sakrih za èas lice svoje od tebe, ali æu te vjeènom milošæu pomilovati, veli izbavitelj tvoj Gospod.
9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
Jer mi je to kao potop Nojev: jer kao što se zakleh da potop Nojev neæe više doæi na zemlju, tako se zakleh da se neæu razgnjeviti na te niti æu te karati.
10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says the LORD who has mercy on you.
Ako æe se i gore pomaknuti i humovi se pokolebati, opet milost moja neæe se odmaknuti od tebe, i zavjet mira mojega neæe se pokolebati, veli Gospod, koji ti je milostiv.
11 “You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colours, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
Nevoljnice, koju vjetar razmeæe, koja si bez utjehe, evo ja æu namjestiti kamenje tvoje na mramoru porfirnom, i osnovaæu te na safirima.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
I naèiniæu ti prozore od kristala, i vrata od kamena rubina, i sve meðe tvoje od dragoga kamenja.
13 All your children will be taught by the LORD, and your children’s peace will be great.
A sinovi æe tvoji svi biti nauèeni od Gospoda, i obilan mir imaæe sinovi tvoji.
14 You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid, and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Pravdom æeš se utvrditi, daleko æeš biti od nasilja, te se neæeš bojati, i od strahote, jer ti se neæe približiti.
15 Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.
Gle, biæe ih koji æe se sabirati na te, ali neæe biti od mene; koji se god saberu na te, pašæe.
16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
Gle, ja sam stvorio kovaèa koji raspaljuje ugljevlje i vadi oruðe za svoj posao, ja sam stvorio i krvnika da ubija.
17 No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgement. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says the LORD.
Nikako oružje naèinjeno protiv tebe neæe biti sreæno, i svaki jezik koji se podigne na te na sudu sapreæeš. To je našljedstvo sluga Gospodnjih i pravda njihova od mene, veli Gospod.
