Isaija 61
1 Duh je Gospoda Boga na meni, jer me Gospod pomaza da javljam dobre glase krotkima, posla me da zavijem ranjene u srcu, da oglasim zarobljenima slobodu i sužnjima da æe im se otvoriti tamnica.
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me: he hath sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, and to preach a release to the captives, and deliverance to them that are shut up.
2 Da oglasim godinu milosti Gospodnje i dan osvete Boga našega, da utješim sve žalosne,
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God: to comfort all that mourn:
3 Da uèinim žalosnima u Sionu i dam im nakit mjesto pepela, ulje radosti mjesto žalosti, odijelo za pohvalu mjesto duha tužnoga, da se prozovu hrastovi pravde, sad Gospodnji za slavu njegovu.
To appoint to the mourners of Sion, and to give them a crown for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the spirit of grief: and they shall be called in it the mighty ones of justice, the planting of the Lord to glorify hint.
4 I oni æe sazidati davnašnje pustoline, podignuæe stare razvaline i ponoviæe gradove puste, što leže razvaljeni od mnogo naraštaja.
And they shall build the places that have been waste from of old, and shall raise up ancient ruins, and shall repair the desolate cities, that were destroyed for generation and generation.
5 I tuðini æe stajati i pasti stada vaša, i inostranci æe biti vaši oraèi i vinogradari.
And strangers shall stand and shall feed your flocks: and the sons of strangers shall be your husbandmen, and the dressers of your vines.
6 A vi æete se zvati sveštenici Gospodnji, sluge Boga našega govoriæe vam se, blago naroda ješæete i slavom njihovom hvaliæete se.
But you shall be called the priests of the Lord: to you it shall be said: Ye ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and you shall pride yourselves in their glory.
7 Za dvostruku sramotu vašu, i što se pjevaše: rug je dio njihov, zato æe u zemlji njihovoj naslijediti dvojinom i imaæe vjeènu radost.
For your double confusion and shame, they shall praise their part: therefore shall they receive double in their land, everlasting joy shall be unto them.
8 Jer ja Gospod ljubim pravdu i mrzim na grabež sa žrtvom paljenicom, i daæu im platu uistinu, i vjeèan zavjet uèiniæu s njima.
For I am the Lord that love judgment, and hate robbery in a holocaust: and I will make their work in truth, and I will make a perpetual covenant with them.
9 I sjeme æe se njihovo znati u narodima i natražje njihovo meðu plemenima; ko ih god vidi poznaæe ih da su sjeme koje je blagoslovio Gospod.
And they shall know their seed among the Gentiles, and their offspring in the midst of peoples: all that shall see them, shall know them, that these are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.
10 Veoma æu se radovati u Gospodu, i duša æe se moja veseliti u Bogu mojem, jer me obuèe u haljine spasenja i plaštem pravde ogrte me kao kad ženik namjesti nakit i kao kad se nevjesta uresi uresom svojim.
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation: and with the robe of justice he hath covered me, as a bridegroom decked with a crown, and as a bride adorned with her jewels.
11 Jer kao što iz zemlje raste bilje i u vrtu nièe što se posije, tako æe Gospod Bog uèiniti da nikne pravda i pohvala pred svijem narodima.
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth her seed to shoot forth: so shall the Lord God make justice to spring forth, and praise before all the nations.
