< Isaija 60 >

1 Ustani, svijetli se, jer doðe svjetlost tvoja, i slava Gospodnja obasja te.
"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
2 Jer, gle, mrak æe pokriti zemlju i tama narode; a tebe æe obasjati Gospod i slava njegova pokazaæe se nad tobom.
For, look, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
3 I narodi æe doæi k vidjelu tvojemu i ka svjetlosti koja æe te obasjati.
Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 Podigni oèi svoje unaokolo, i vidi: svi se skupljaju i idu k tebi, sinovi æe tvoji iz daleka doæi i kæeri tvoje nosiæe se u naruèju.
"Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to you; your sons shall come from far, and your daughters shall be carried in the arms.
5 Tada æeš vidjeti, i obradovaæeš se, i srce æe ti se udiviti i raširiti, jer æe se k tebi okrenuti mnoštvo morsko i sila naroda doæi æe k tebi.
Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
6 Mnoštvo kamila prekriliæe te, dromedari iz Madijama i Efe; svi iz Save doæi æe, zlato i kad donijeæe, i slavu Gospodnju javljaæe.
The multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of the LORD.
7 Sva stada Kidarska skupiæe se k tebi, ovnovi Navajotski biæe ti na potrebu; prineseni na oltaru mom biæe ugodni, i dom slave svoje proslaviæu.
All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with acceptance on my altar; and I will glorify the house of my glory.
8 Ko su ono što lete kao oblaci i kao golubovi na prozore svoje?
"Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9 Ostrva æe me èekati i prve laðe Tarsiske, da dovezu sinove tvoje iz daleka, i s njima srebro njihovo i zlato njihovo, imenu Gospoda Boga tvojega i sveca Izrailjeva, jer te proslavi.
Surely the islands shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
10 I tuðini æe sazidati zidove tvoje, i carevi njihovi služiæe ti; jer u gnjevu svom udarih te, a po milosti svojoj pomilovaæu te.
"Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you: for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor have I had mercy on you.
11 I tvoja æe vrata biti svagda otvorena, neæe se zatvoriti ni danju ni noæu, da ti se dovede sila naroda, i carevi njihovi da se dovedu.
Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
12 Jer narod i carstvo, koje ti ne bi služilo, poginuæe, taki æe se narodi sasvijem zatrti.
For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
13 Slava Livanska tebi æe doæi, jela, brijest i šimšir, da ukrase mjesto svetinje moje da bih proslavio mjesto nogu svojih.
"The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 I sinovi onijeh koji su te muèili doæi æe k tebi klanjajuæi se, i svi koji te preziraše padaæe k stopalima nogu tvojih, i zvaæe te gradom Gospodnjim, Sionom sveca Izrailjeva.
The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 Što si bio ostavljen i mrzak tako da niko nije prolazio kroza te, mjesto toga æu ti uèiniti vjeènu slavu, i veselje od koljena do koljena.
"Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through you, I will make you an everlasting excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 Jer æeš mlijeko naroda sati, i sise carske dojiæeš, i poznaæeš da sam ja Gospod spasitelj tvoj i izbavitelj tvoj, silni Jakovljev.
You shall also drink the milk of the nations, and shall nurse from royal breasts; and you shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Mjesto mjedi donijeæu zlata, i mjesto gvožða donijeæu srebra, i mjedi mjesto drva, i gvožða mjesto kamenja, i postaviæu ti za upravitelje mir i za nastojnike pravdu.
For bronze I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood bronze, and for stones iron. I will also make your officers peace, and righteousness your ruler.
18 Neæe se više èuti nasilje u tvojoj zemlji ni pustošenje i potiranje na meðama tvojim; nego æeš zvati zidove svoje spasenjem i vrata svoja hvalom.
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, destruction nor calamity within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 Neæe ti više biti sunce vidjelo danju, niti æe ti sjajni mjesec svijetliti; nego æe ti Gospod biti vidjelo vjeèno i Bog tvoj biæe ti slava.
The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the moon shine for illumination at night; but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
20 Neæe više zalaziti sunce tvoje, niti æe mjesec tvoj pomrèati; jer æe ti Gospod biti vidjelo vjeèno, i dani žalosti tvoje svršiæe se.
Your sun shall no more go down, neither shall your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
21 I tvoj æe narod biti sav pravedan, naslijediæe zemlju navijek; mladica koju sam posadio, djelo ruku mojih biæe na moju slavu.
Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 Od maloga æe postati tisuæa i od nejakoga silan narod; ja Gospod brzo æu uèiniti to kad bude vrijeme.
The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, the LORD, will hasten it in its time."
