Isaiah, 60

1. Rise up to be illuminated, O Jerusalem! For your light has arrived, and the glory of the Lord has risen over you.

1. Ustani, zasini, jer svjetlost tvoja dolazi, nad tobom blista Slava Jahvina.

2. For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness will cover the peoples. Then the Lord will rise above you, and his glory will be seen in you.

2. A zemlju, evo, tmina pokriva, i mrklina narode! A tebe obasjava Jahve, i Slava se njegova javlja nad tobom.

3. And the nations will walk in your light, and the kings will walk by the splendor of your rising.

3. K tvojoj svjetlosti koraèaju narodi, i kraljevi k istoku tvoga sjaja.

4. Lift up your eyes all around and see! All these have been gathered together; they have arrived before you. Your sons will arrive from far away, and your daughters will rise up from your side.

4. Podigni oèi, obazri se: svi se sabiru, k tebi dolaze. Sinovi tvoji dolaze izdaleka, kæeri ti nose u naruèju.

5. Then you will see, and you will overflow, and your heart will be amazed and expanded. When the multitude of the sea will have been converted to you, the strength of the nations will approach you.

5. Gledat æeš tad i sjati radošæu, igrat æe srce i širit' se, jer k tebi æe poteæi bogatstvo mora, blago naroda k tebi æe pritjecati.

6. A multitude of camels will inundate you: the dromedaries from Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba will arrive, carrying gold and frankincense, and announcing praise to the Lord.

6. Mnoštvo deva prekrit æe te, jednogrbe deve iz Midjana i Efe. Svi æe iz Šebe doæi donoseæi zlato i tamjan i hvale Jahvi pjevajuæi.

7. All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together before you; the rams of Nebaioth will minister to you. They will be offered upon my pleasing altar, and I will glorify the house of my majesty.

7. Sva stada kedarska u tebi æe se sabrati, ovnovi nebajotski bit æe ti na službu. Penjat æe se k'o ugodna žrtva na moj žrtvenik, proslavit æu Dom Slave svoje!

8. Who are these ones, who fly like the clouds and like doves to their windows?

8. Tko su oni što lebde poput oblaka, k'o golubovi prema golubinjacima svojim?

9. For the islands await me, and the ships of the sea in the beginning, so that I may lead your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of the Lord your God and to the Holy One of Israel. For he has glorified you.

9. Da, to se zbog mene sabiru brodovi, laðe su taršiške pred njima da izdaleka dovezu tvoje sinove, a s njima srebro njihovo i zlato, zbog imena Jahve, Boga tvojega, zbog Sveca Izraelova koji te proslavi.

10. And the sons of sojourners will build up your walls, and their kings will minister to you. For in my wrath, I have struck you. And in my reconciliation, I have taken pity on you.

10. Zidine æe tvoje obnoviti stranci i kraljevi njihovi služit æe ti. U svojoj srdžbi ja sam te udario, al' u svojoj naklonosti opet ti se smilovah.

11. And your gates will be open continually. They will not be closed day or night, so that the strength of the nations may be brought before you, and their kings may be lead in.

11. Vrata æe tvoja biti otvorena svagda, ni danju ni noæu neæe se zatvarati, da propuste k tebi bogatstva naroda s kraljevima koji ih vode.

12. For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve you will perish. And the Gentiles will be devastated by solitude.

12. Jer propast æe narod i kraljevstvo koje ti ne bude htjelo služiti, i ti æe se narodi sasvim zatrti.

13. The glory of Lebanon will arrive before you, the fir tree and the box tree and the pine tree together, to adorn the place of my sanctification. And I will glorify the place of my feet.

13. K tebi æe doæi slava Libanona, èempresi, jele i brijestovi skupa, da ukrase prostor mojega Svetišta, podnožje æe moje proslaviti!

14. And the sons of those who humiliate you will approach and will bow down before you. And all who detract you will reverence the path of your feet. And they will call you the City of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

14. K tebi æe, sagnuti, dolaziti sinovi tvojih tlaèitelja, pred noge ti padat' koji te prezirahu. Nazivat æe te Gradom Jahvinim, Sionom Sveca Izraelova.

15. For though you were forsaken, and held in hatred, and there was no one who would pass near you, I will establish you as an everlasting glory, as a gladness from generation to generation.

15. Zato što si bio ostavljen, omražen, izbjegavan, uèinit æu te vjeènim ponosom, radošæu od koljena do koljena.

16. And you will drink the milk of the Gentiles, and you will be nursed at the breasts of kings, and you will know that I am the Lord, your Saviour and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.

16. Ti æeš sisati mlijeko naroda, sisat æeš grudi kraljeva. I znat æeš da sam ja, Jahve, Spasitelj tvoj, Silni Jakovljev, tvoj Otkupitelj.

17. In exchange for brass, I will bring gold; and in exchange for iron, I will bring silver; and for wood, brass; and for stones, iron. And I will make your visitation into peace, and your leaders into justice.

17. Mjesto mjedi, donijet æu zlato; mjesto željeza, donijet æu srebro; mjesto drva, mjed; mjesto kamena, željezo. Za glavara tvoga postavit æu Mir, Pravdu za vladara.

18. Iniquity will no longer be heard in your land, nor devastation and destruction in your borders. And salvation will occupy your walls, and praise will occupy your gates.

18. Više se neæe slušat' o nasilju u tvojoj zemlji ni o pustošenju i razaranju na tvojem podruèju. Zidine æeš svoje nazivati Spasom, Slavom svoja vrata.

19. The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon illuminate you. Instead, the Lord will be an everlasting light for you, and your God will be your glory.

19. Neæe ti više sunce biti svjetlost danju nit' æe ti svijetlit' mjeseèina, nego æe Jahve biti tvoje vjeèno svjetlo i tvoj æe Bog biti tvoj sjaj.

20. Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not diminish. For the Lord will be an everlasting light for you, and the days of your mourning will be completed.

20. Sunce tvoje neæe više zalaziti nit' æe ti mjesec pomrèati, jer æe Jahve biti tvoje vjeèno svjetlo, i okonèat æe se dani tvoje žalosti.

21. And your people will all be just. They will inherit the earth in perpetuity, the seedling of my planting, the work of my hand, so as to glorify me.

21. Svi u tvom narodu bit æe pravednici i posjedovat æe zemlju dovijeka, mog nasada izdanci, mojih ruku djelo, da bih se u njima proslavio.

22. The least will become a thousand, and a little one will become a very strong nation. I, the Lord, will accomplish this, suddenly, in its time.

22. Od najmanjega postat æe tisuæa, od neznatnoga moæan narod. Ja, Jahve, govorio sam; u pravo æu vrijeme izvršiti.
