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, you barren woman, you who have not given birth; break into joyful singing and cry aloud, you who have never been in birth labor. For the children of the desolate one are more than the children of the married woman,” says Yahweh.
2 Raširi mjesto šatora svojega, i zavjesi stana tvojega neka se razastru, ne brani, produlji uža svoja, kolje svoje utvrdi.
“Make your tent larger and spread your tent curtains farther out, unsparingly; lengthen your ropes 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 to the right hand and to the left, and your descendants will conquer nations and resettle 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.
Do not fear for you will not be ashamed, nor be discouraged for you will not be disgraced; you will forget the shame of your youth and the disgrace of your abandonment.
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; Yahweh of hosts is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is 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 Yahweh has called you back as a wife abandoned and grieved in spirit, like a woman married young and rejected,” says your God.
7 Za malo ostavih te, ali s velikom milošæu pribraæu te.
“For a short time I abandoned you, but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 U malom gnjevu sakrih za èas lice svoje od tebe, ali æu te vjeènom milošæu pomilovati, veli izbavitelj tvoj Gospod.
In a flood of anger I hid my face from you momentarily; but with everlasting covenant faithfulness I will have mercy on you— says Yahweh, the one who rescues you.
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 to me: as I swore that the waters of Noah would never again pass over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you or 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.
Though the mountains may fall and the hills be shaken, yet my steadfast love will not turn away from you, nor will my covenant of peace be shaken— says Yahweh, 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.
Afflicted one, storm-driven and uncomforted one, look, I will set your pavement in turquoise, 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 and your gates of sparkling stones, and your outer wall of beautiful stones.
13 A sinovi æe tvoji svi biti nauèeni od Gospoda, i obilan mir imaæe sinovi tvoji.
Then all your children will be taught by Yahweh; and the peace of your children 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, and you will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; and from terror, for it will not come near to you.
15 Gle, biæe ih koji æe se sabirati na te, ali neæe biti od mene; koji se god saberu na te, pašæe.
Look, if anyone stirs up trouble, it will not be from me; anyone who stirs up trouble with you will fall in defeat.
16 Gle, ja sam stvorio kovaèa koji raspaljuje ugljevlje i vadi oruðe za svoj posao, ja sam stvorio i krvnika da ubija.
See, I have created the craftsman, who blows the burning coals and forges weapons as 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 succeed; and you will condemn everyone who accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their vindication from me—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
