Isaija 54
1 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.
“Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth; break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for the deserted wife will have more children than the children of the married wife,” says Adonai.
2 Raširi mjesto šatora svojega, i zavjesi stana tvojega neka se razastru, ne brani, produlji uža svoja, kolje svoje utvrdi.
“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.
3 Jer æeš se nadesno i nalijevo rasprostraniti, i sjeme æe tvoje naslijediti narode, i puste æe gradove naseliti.
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.
4 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.
“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; and the reproach of your widowhood you shall remember no more.
5 Jer ti je muž tvorac tvoj, ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama, i izbavitelj ti je svetac Izrailjev, Bog svoj zemlji zvaæe se.
For your Maker is your husband; Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is his name. The haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails] is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth.
6 Jer kao ženu ostavljenu i u duhu ožalošæenu dozva te Gospod, i kao mladu ženu puštenu, govori Gospod.
For Adonai has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.
7 Za malo ostavih te, ali s velikom milošæu pribraæu te.
“For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great rachamim ·merciful loves· will I gather you.
8 U malom gnjevu sakrih za èas lice svoje od tebe, ali æu te vjeènom milošæu pomilovati, veli izbavitelj tvoj Gospod.
In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting chesed ·loving-kindness· I will have racham ·merciful love· on you,” says Adonai your Redeemer.
9 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.
“For this is like the waters of Noah [Rest] to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah [Rest] will no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10 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.
For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my chesed ·loving-kindness· will not depart from you, and my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· of peace will not be removed,” says Adonai who has mercy on you.
11 Nevoljnice, koju vjetar razmeæe, koja si bez utjehe, evo ja æu namjestiti kamenje tvoje na mramoru porfirnom, i osnovaæu te na safirima.
“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 I naèiniæu ti prozore od kristala, i vrata od kamena rubina, i sve meðe tvoje od dragoga kamenja.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13 A sinovi æe tvoji svi biti nauèeni od Gospoda, i obilan mir imaæe sinovi tvoji.
All your children will be taught by Adonai; and your children’s peace will be great.
14 Pravdom æeš se utvrditi, daleko æeš biti od nasilja, te se neæeš bojati, i od strahote, jer ti se neæe približiti.
In righteousness you will be established. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid; and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Gle, biæe ih koji æe se sabirati na te, ali neæe biti od mene; koji se god saberu na te, pašæe.
Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.
16 Gle, ja sam stvorio kovaèa koji raspaljuje ugljevlje i vadi oruðe za svoj posao, ja sam stvorio i krvnika da ubija.
“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.
17 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.
No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn as guilty every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Adonai’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Adonai.
