Isaija 60
1 Ustani, svijetli se, jer doðe svjetlost tvoja, i slava Gospodnja obasja te.
[You people of] Jerusalem [PRS], stand up! Yahweh has done glorious things for you, and he has acted powerfully for you; so show others that he is very great!
2 Jer, gle, mrak æe pokriti zemlju i tama narode; a tebe æe obasjati Gospod i slava njegova pokazaæe se nad tobom.
[But spiritual] darkness has covered [all the other people-groups on] the earth, complete darkness, but Yahweh will show you how great he is, and other people will also see it.
3 I narodi æe doæi k vidjelu tvojemu i ka svjetlosti koja æe te obasjati.
By seeing what he has done for you, [people of all] people-groups will see that he is very great, and kings will come to see the wonderful things that have happened to you.
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.
[Yahweh says], “Look around and you will see the people who will be returning from (exile/countries to which they have been forced to go)! Your sons will come from distant countries; others will carry your [little] daughters home.
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.
When you look at this happening, you will be very joyful [DOU], because people will bring valuable goods to you [from all around the world]. They will bring in ships valuable things from [many] nations.
6 Mnoštvo kamila prekriliæe te, dromedari iz Madijama i Efe; svi iz Save doæi æe, zlato i kad donijeæe, i slavu Gospodnju javljaæe.
People will [also] bring valuable goods to you on herds/caravans of camels: Camels from the Midian and Ephah [areas of northern Arabia]. And from Sheba [in southern Arabia] they will come, bringing gold and frankincense; they will all come to praise [me], Yahweh.
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.
They will bring flocks [of sheep and goats] from Kedar [in northern Arabia and give them] to you. [They will bring] [PRS] rams from Nebaioth for you [to sacrifice] on my altars, and I will accept them [happily]. [At that time] I will cause my temple to be very beautifully decorated.
8 Ko su ono što lete kao oblaci i kao golubovi na prozore svoje?
And what are those things that are moving swiftly like [SIM] clouds? They resemble [SIM] doves [returning] to their nests.
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.
But they are really ships from Tarshish that are bringing your people back here. When your people come, they will bring with them [all] the valuable possessions that they have acquired, and [they will do that] to honor [me], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, because I will have greatly honored 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 will [come and] rebuild the walls of your [cities], and their kings will serve/help you. Although I punished you because I was angry with you, these things will happen now because I will act mercifully toward you because I am kind.
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.
The gates of your [cities] will be open during the day and [also] during the night, in order that people will be able to bring into your cities valuable things from [many] countries, with their kings being led to you in the processions.
12 Jer narod i carstvo, koje ti ne bi služilo, poginuæe, taki æe se narodi sasvijem zatrti.
And the kingdoms and nations whose [people] refuse to allow you to rule them will be completely destroyed [DOU].
13 Slava Livanska tebi æe doæi, jela, brijest i šimšir, da ukrase mjesto svetinje moje da bih proslavio mjesto nogu svojih.
The glorious/beautiful things in Lebanon will be brought to you— [lumber from] cypress [trees] and fir [trees] and pine [trees]— to be used to make my temple beautiful. When that is done, my temple [MTY] will [truly] be 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 descendants of those who (oppressed you/treated you cruelly) will come and bow down to you; those who despised you will prostrate themselves in front of your feet. They will say that your city on Zion Hill is the City of Yahweh, where the Holy One of Israel lives.
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.
Previously everyone hated you and ignored you, but now your [city] will be majestic/honored forever; and [I will cause you to be] joyful forever.
16 Jer æeš mlijeko naroda sati, i sise carske dojiæeš, i poznaæeš da sam ja Gospod spasitelj tvoj i izbavitelj tvoj, silni Jakovljev.
People of all nations and their kings will gladly bring [MET] their wealth to you. And [when that happens], you will realize that I truly am Yahweh, the one who saves you and rescues you [from your enemies], and that I am the mighty one to whom you Israeli people belong.
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.
Instead of [metals that are not valuable, like] bronze and iron, I will bring to you silver and gold. Instead of wood and stones, I will bring you bronze and iron [for your buildings]. There will be peace in your country, and your rulers will do what is fair/just.
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.
People in your country will no longer act violently, and people will no longer destroy your land and cause it to become desolate/ruined. The people in the city will be safe, and everyone there will praise me [MTY].
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.
And you will no longer need the sun and moon to give you light, because [I], Yahweh, will give you more light [than the sun and moon]; I will be a glorious light for you forever.
20 Neæe više zalaziti sunce tvoje, niti æe mjesec tvoj pomrèati; jer æe ti Gospod biti vidjelo vjeèno, i dani žalosti tvoje svršiæe se.
[It will seem as though] the sun and moon will always be shining [LIT], because [I], Yahweh, will be an everlasting light for you. You will never again be sad [because of things that happen to you].
21 I tvoj æe narod biti sav pravedan, naslijediæe zemlju navijek; mladica koju sam posadio, djelo ruku mojih biæe na moju slavu.
Your people will all be righteous, and they will occupy the land forever, because I myself have put you there [like people plant trees] [MET] in order that you will show others that I am very great.
22 Od maloga æe postati tisuæa i od nejakoga silan narod; ja Gospod brzo æu uèiniti to kad bude vrijeme.
At that time, the [groups that are] very small now will become [very large] clans, and small clans will become great nations. [All those things will happen because], I, Yahweh, will cause them to happen at the right time.”
