< 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 Ruach of 'Adonay Yahweh [Spirit, Breath of Lord He sustains breathing] is on me; because Adonai has anointed me to preach good news to the poor and humble. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, to let out into the light those bound in the dark, and to restore the crushed with forgiveness;
2 Da oglasim godinu milosti Gospodnje i dan osvete Boga našega, da utješim sve žalosne,
to proclaim the year of Adonai’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who 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 provide for those who mourn in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of tehilah ·praise song· for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Adonai, that he may be glorified.
4 I oni æe sazidati davnašnje pustoline, podignuæe stare razvaline i ponoviæe gradove puste, što leže razvaljeni od mnogo naraštaja.
They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the places long devastated. They will repair the ruined cities, that have been devastated for many generations.
5 I tuðini æe stajati i pasti stada vaša, i inostranci æe biti vaši oraèi i vinogradari.
Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.
6 A vi æete se zvati sveštenici Gospodnji, sluge Boga našega govoriæe vam se, blago naroda ješæete i slavom njihovom hvaliæete se.
But you will be called Adonai’s priests. Men will call you the servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their kavod ·weighty 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.
Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land, they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to 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, Adonai, 'ahav ·affectionately love· mishpat ·justice·. I hate robbery for burnt offerings. I will give them their reward in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· 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.
Their offspring will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which Adonai has 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 Adonai! My soul will be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of yesha' ·salvation·. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself 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 produces its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up; so 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] will cause righteousness and tehilah ·praise song· to spring up before all the nations.
