Izaija 52
1 Probudi se! Probudi se! Odjeni se snagom, Sione! Odjeni se najsjajnijim haljinama, Jeruzaleme, grade sveti, jer više neće k tebi ulaziti neobrezani i nečisti.
Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, holy city; for never again will the uncircumcised or the unclean enter you.
2 Otresi prah sa sebe, ustani, izgnani Jeruzaleme! Skini okov sa svog vrata, izgnana kćeri sionska.”
Shake yourself off from the dust; arise and sit, Jerusalem; take off the chain from your neck, captive, daughter of Zion.
3 Jest, ovako govori Jahve: “Bili ste prodani nizašto i bit ćete otkupljeni bez novaca.”
For this is what Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.”
4 Jest, ovako govori Gospod Jahve: “Moj je narod sišao nekoć u Egipat da se ondje nastani kao stranac, potom ga Asirci nizašto potlačiše.
For this is what the Lord Yahweh says, “In the beginning my people went down to live temporarily in Egypt; and Assyria has oppressed them for no good reason.
5 Ali sada, čemu sam ja ovdje - riječ je Jahvina - kad je moj narod bio bez razloga porobljen, a gospodari njegovi likuju - riječ je Jahvina - i bez prestanka se danomice ime moje huli.
Now what do I have here—this is Yahweh's declaration—seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock—this is Yahweh's declaration—and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6 Zato će narod moj poznati moje ime i shvatit će u onaj dan da sam ja koji govorim: 'Evo me!'”
Therefore my people will know my name; they will know in that day that I am the one who says, “Yes, it is I!”
7 Kako su ljupke po gorama noge glasonoše radosti koji oglašava mir, nosi sreću, i spasenje naviješta govoreć Sionu: “Bog tvoj kraljuje!”
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, who announces peace, who bears good tidings, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Čuj, stražari ti glas podižu, zajedno svi kliču od radosti, jer na svoje oči vide gdje se na Sion vraća Jahve.
Listen, your watchmen raise their voices, together they shout for joy, for they will see, every eye of theirs, Yahweh's return to Zion.
9 Radujte se, kličite, razvaline jeruzalemske, jer je Jahve utješio narod svoj i otkupio Jeruzalem.
Break out into joyful singing together, you ruins of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Ogolio je Jahve svetu svoju mišicu pred očima svih naroda, da svi krajevi zemaljski vide spasenje Boga našega.
Yahweh has bared his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Odlazite, odlazite, iziđite odatle, ne dotičite ništa nečisto! Iziđite iz njegove sredine! Očistite se, vi koji nosite posude Jahvine!
Leave, leave, go out from there; touch nothing unclean; leave from her midst; purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of Yahweh.
12 Jer nećete izići u hitnji, niti ćete ići bježeći, jer će vam prethodnica biti Jahve, a zalaznica Bog Izraelov!
For you will not go out in a rush, nor will you leave in a panic; for Yahweh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearguard.
13 Gle, uspjet će Sluga moj, podignut će se, uzvisit' i proslaviti!
Look, my servant will act wisely; he will be high and lifted up, and he will be exalted.
14 Kao što se mnogi užasnuše vidjevši ga - tako mu je lice bilo neljudski iznakaženo te obličjem više nije naličio na čovjeka -
As many were horrified at you— his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man, and his form no longer looked like anything human.
15 tako će on mnoge zadiviti narode i kraljevi će pred njim usta stisnuti videć' ono o čemu im nitko nije govorio, shvaćajuć' ono o čemu nikad čuli nisu:
Even so, my servant will sprinkle many nations and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For that which they had not been told, they will see, and that which they had not heard, they will understand.
