Isaija 54

1 Veseli se, nerotkinjo koja ne raðaš, zapjevaj i poklikni ti, koja ne trpiš muka od poroðaja, jer pusta ima više djece negoli ona koja ima muža, veli Gospod.

Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said,

2 Raširi mjesto šatora svojega, i zavjesi stana tvojega neka se razastru, ne brani, produlji uža svoja, kolje svoje utvrdi.

Enlarge the place of your tent, and of your curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pins;

3 Jer æeš se nadesno i nalijevo rasprostraniti, i sjeme æe tvoje naslijediti narode, i puste æe gradove naseliti.

spread forth [your tent] yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 Ne boj se, jer se neæeš osramotiti, i nemoj se stidjeti, jer neæeš biti prijekorna, nego æeš zaboraviti sramotu mladosti svoje, i prijekora udovišta svojega neæeš se više sjeæati.

Fear not, because you has been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you was reproached: for you shall forget your former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach of your widowhood.

5 Jer ti je muž tvorac tvoj, ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama, i izbavitelj ti je svetac Izrailjev, Bog svoj zemlji zvaæe se.

For [it is] the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered you, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth.

6 Jer kao ženu ostavljenu i u duhu ožalošæenu dozva te Gospod, i kao mladu ženu puštenu, govori Gospod.

The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, says your God.

7 Za malo ostavih te, ali s velikom milošæu pribraæu te.

For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you.

8 U malom gnjevu sakrih za èas lice svoje od tebe, ali æu te vjeènom milošæu pomilovati, veli izbavitelj tvoj Gospod.

In a little wrath I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.

9 Jer mi je to kao potop Nojev: jer kao što se zakleh da potop Nojev neæe više doæi na zemlju, tako se zakleh da se neæu razgnjeviti na te niti æu te karati.

From the time of the water of Noe this is my [purpose]: as I sware to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened,

10 Ako æe se i gore pomaknuti i humovi se pokolebati, opet milost moja neæe se odmaknuti od tebe, i zavjet mira mojega neæe se pokolebati, veli Gospod, koji ti je milostiv.

shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it].

11 Nevoljnice, koju vjetar razmeæe, koja si bez utjehe, evo ja æu namjestiti kamenje tvoje na mramoru porfirnom, i osnovaæu te na safirima.

Afflicted and outcast you has not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;

12 I naèiniæu ti prozore od kristala, i vrata od kamena rubina, i sve meðe tvoje od dragoga kamenja.

and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious stones.

13 A sinovi æe tvoji svi biti nauèeni od Gospoda, i obilan mir imaæe sinovi tvoji.

And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.

14 Pravdom æeš se utvrditi, daleko æeš biti od nasilja, te se neæeš bojati, i od strahote, jer ti se neæe približiti.

And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near you.

15 Gle, biæe ih koji æe se sabirati na te, ali neæe biti od mene; koji se god saberu na te, pašæe.

Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run to you for refuge.

16 Gle, ja sam stvorio kovaèa koji raspaljuje ugljevlje i vadi oruðe za svoj posao, ja sam stvorio i krvnika da ubija.

Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [you].

17 Nikako oružje naèinjeno protiv tebe neæe biti sreæno, i svaki jezik koji se podigne na te na sudu sapreæeš. To je našljedstvo sluga Gospodnjih i pravda njihova od mene, veli Gospod.

I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgment, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.
