Isaija 62
1 Siona radi neæu umuknuti, i Jerusalima radi neæu se umiriti, dokle ne izaðe kao svjetlost pravda njegova i spasenje se njegovo razgori kao svijeæa.
Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
2 Tada æe vidjeti narodi pravdu tvoju i svi carevi slavu tvoju, i prozvaæeš se novijem imenom, koje æe usta Gospodnja izreæi.
[Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
3 I biæeš krasan vijenac u ruci Gospodnjoj i carska kruna u ruci Boga svojega.
[It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
4 Neæeš se više zvati ostavljena, niti æe se zemlja tvoja zvati pustoš, nego æeš se zvati milina moja i zemlja tvoja udata, jer æeš biti mio Gospodu i zemlja æe tvoja biti udata.
Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
5 Jer kao što se momak ženi djevojkom, tako æe se sinovi tvoji oženiti tobom; i kako se raduje ženik nevjesti, tako æe se tebi radovati Bog tvoj.
You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
6 Na zidovima tvojim, Jerusalime, postavih stražare, koji neæe umuknuti nigda, ni danju ni noæu. Koji pominjete Gospoda, nemojte muèati.
[You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
7 I ne dajte da se umukne o njemu dokle ne utvrdi i uèini Jerusalim slavom na zemlji.
And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
8 Zakle se Gospod desnicom svojom i krjepkom mišicom svojom: neæu više dati žita tvojega neprijateljima tvojim da jedu, niti æe tuðini piti vina tvojega, oko kojega si se trudio;
Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
9 Nego koji ga žanju, oni æe ga jesti i hvaliti Gospoda, i koji ga beru oni æe ga piti u trijemovima svetinje moje.
You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
10 Proðite, proðite kroz vrata, pripravite put narodu; poravnite, poravnite put, uklonite kamenje, podignite zastavu narodima.
Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
11 Evo, Gospod oglasi do krajeva zemaljskih; recite kæeri Sionskoj: evo, spasitelj tvoj ide; evo, plata je njegova kod njega i djelo njegovo pred njim.
This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
12 I oni æe se prozvati narod sveti, iskupljenici Gospodnji; a ti æeš se prozvati: traženi, grad neostavljeni.
They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
