Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah [is] on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands.
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 year of the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.
da navijestim godinu milosti Jahvine i dan odmazde Boga našega; da razveselim ožalošćene na Sionu
3 To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, 'Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah — to be beautified.'
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 have built the wastes of old, The desolations of the ancients they raise up, And they have renewed waste cities, The desolations of generation and generation.
Oni će nanovo dići drevne razvaline, sazdati opet mjesta poharana, ruševine prošlih pokoljenja.
5 And strangers have stood and fed your flock, Sons of a foreigner [are] your husbandmen, And your vine-dressers.
Tuđinci će doći da vam stada pasu, stranci će vam biti ratari i vinogradari.
6 And ye are called 'Priests of Jehovah,' 'Ministers of our God,' is said of you, The strength of nations ye consume, And in their honour ye do boast yourselves.
A vas će zvati “Svećenici Jahvini”, nazivat će vas “Službenici Boga našega”. Uživat ćete bogatstva naroda, blagom se njihovim dičiti.
7 Instead of your shame and confusion, A second time they sing of their portion, Therefore in their land A second time do they take possession, Joy age-during [is] for 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 [am] Jehovah, loving judgment, Hating plunder for a burnt-offering, And I have given their wage in truth, And a covenant age-during I make for them.
Jer ja, Jahve, ljubim pravdu, a mrzim grabež nepravedni. Vjerno ću ih nagraditi i sklopiti s njima Savez vječni.
9 And known among nations hath been their seed, And their offspring in the midst of the peoples, All their beholders acknowledge them, For they [are] a seed Jehovah 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 greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on 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 shoots, And as a garden causeth its sown things to shoot up, So the Lord Jehovah causeth righteousness and praise To shoot up 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.
