Isaiah, 52
1. Rise up, Rise up! Clothe yourself in strength, O Zion! Put on the garments of your glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One! For the uncircumcised and the unclean will no longer pass through you.
1. Probudi se! Probudi se! Odjeni se snagom, Sione! Odjeni se najsjajnijim haljinama, Jeruzaleme, grade sveti, jer više neæe k tebi ulaziti neobrezani i neèisti.
2. Shake yourself from the dust! Arise and sit up, O Jerusalem! Loose the chains from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!
2. Otresi prah sa sebe, ustani, izgnani Jeruzaleme! Skini okov sa svog vrata, izgnana kæeri sionska."
3. For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.
3. Jest, ovako govori Jahve: "Bili ste prodani nizašto i bit æete otkupljeni bez novaca."
4. For thus says the Lord God: My people descended into Egypt, in the beginning, in order to sojourn there. But the Assyrian oppressed them, without any cause at all.
4. Jest, ovako govori Gospod Jahve: "Moj je narod sišao nekoæ u Egipat da se ondje nastani kao stranac, potom ga Asirci nizašto potlaèiše.
5. And now, what is left for me here, says the Lord? For my people have been taken away without cause. Their lords treat them unjustly, says the Lord. And my name is being continually blasphemed all day long.
5. Ali sada, èemu sam ja ovdje - rijeè je Jahvina - kad je moj narod bio bez razloga porobljen, a gospodari njegovi likuju - rijeè je Jahvina - i bez prestanka se danomice ime moje huli.
6. Because of this, my people will know my name, in that day. For it is I myself who is speaking. Behold, I am here.
6. Zato æe narod moj poznati moje ime i shvatit æe u onaj dan da sam ja koji govorim: 'Evo me!'"
7. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger and the preacher of peace! Announcing good and preaching peace, they are saying to Zion, “Your God will reign!”
7. Kako su ljupke po gorama noge glasonoše radosti koji oglašava mir, nosi sreæu, i spasenje naviješta govoreæ Sionu: "Bog tvoj kraljuje!"
8. It is the voice of your watchmen. They have lifted up their voice. They will praise together. For they will see eye to eye, when the Lord converts Zion.
8. Èuj, stražari ti glas podižu, zajedno svi klièu od radosti, jer na svoje oèi vide gdje se na Sion vraæa Jahve.
9. Be glad and rejoice together, O deserts of Jerusalem! For the Lord has consoled his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
9. Radujte se, klièite, razvaline jeruzalemske, jer je Jahve utješio narod svoj i otkupio Jeruzalem.
10. The Lord has prepared his holy arm, in the sight of all the Gentiles. And all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
10. Ogolio je Jahve svetu svoju mišicu pred oèima svih naroda, da svi krajevi zemaljski vide spasenje Boga našega.
11. Depart, depart, get out of here! Do not be willing to touch what is polluted. Go out from her midst! Be cleansed, you who bear the vessels of the Lord.
11. Odlazite, odlazite, iziðite odatle, ne dotièite ništa neèisto! Iziðite iz njegove sredine! Oèistite se, vi koji nosite posude Jahvine!
12. For you will not go out in a tumult, nor will you take flight in a hurry. For the Lord will precede you, and the God of Israel will gather you.
12. Jer neæete iziæi u hitnji, niti æete iæi bježeæi, jer æe vam prethodnica biti Jahve, a zalaznica Bog Izraelov!
13. Behold, my servant will understand; he will be exalted and lifted up, and he will be very sublime.
13. Gle, uspjet æe Sluga moj, podignut æe se, uzvisit' i proslaviti!
14. Just as they were stupefied over you, so will his countenance be without glory among men, and his appearance, among the sons of men.
14. Kao što se mnogi užasnuše vidjevši ga - tako mu je lice bilo neljudski iznakaženo te oblièjem više nije nalièio na èovjeka -
15. He will sprinkle many nations; kings will close their mouth because of him. And those to whom he was not described, have seen. And those who have not heard, have considered.
15. tako æe on mnoge zadiviti narode i kraljevi æe pred njim usta stisnuti videæ' ono o èemu im nitko nije govorio, shvaæajuæ' ono o èemu nikad èuli nisu:
