Isaiah 54

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Raise a glad cry, you barren one who did not bear, break forth in jubilant song, you who were not in labor, For more numerous are the children of the deserted wife than the children of her who has a husband, says the LORD.	1 Kliči, nerotkinjo, koja nisi rađala; podvikuj od radosti, ti što ne znaš za trudove! Jer osamljena više djece ima negoli udana, kaže Jahve.
2 Enlarge the space for your tent, spread out your tent cloths unsparingly; lengthen your ropes and make firm your stakes.	2 Raširi prostor svog šatora, razastri, ne štedi platna svog prebivališta, produži mu užeta, kolčiće učvrsti!
3 For you shall spread abroad to the right and to the left; Your descendants shall dispossess the nations and shall people the desolate cities.	3 Jer proširit ćeš se desno i lijevo. Tvoje će potomstvo zavladat’ narodima i napučit će opustjele gradove.
4 Fear not, you shall not be put to shame; you need not blush, for you shall not be disgraced. The shame of your youth you shall forget, the reproach of your widowhood no longer remember.	4 Ne boj se, nećeš se postidjeti; ne srami se, nećeš se crvenjeti. Zaboravit ćeš sramotu svoje mladosti i više se nećeš spominjati rugla udovištva svoga.
5 For he who has become your husband is your Maker; his name is the LORD of hosts; Your redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, called God of all the earth.	5 Jer suprug ti je tvoj Stvoritelj, ime mu je Jahve nad vojskama; tvoj je otkupitelj Svetac Izraelov, Bog zemlje svekolike on se zove.
6 The LORD calls you back, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, A wife married in youth and then cast off, says your God.	6 Jest, k’o ženu ostavljenu, u duši ucviljenu, Jahve te pozvao. Zar se smije otpustiti žena svoje mladosti, pita Bog tvoj.
7 For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with great tenderness I will take you back.	7 »Za kratak trenutak ostavih tebe, al’ u sućuti velikoj opet ću te prigrliti.
8 In an outburst of wrath, for a moment I hid my face from you; But with enduring love I take pity on you, says the LORD, your redeemer.	8 U provali srdžbe sakrih načas od tebe lice svoje, al’ u ljubavi vječnoj smilovah se tebi«, govori Jahve, tvoj otkupitelj.
9 This is for me like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah should never again deluge the earth; So I have sworn not to be angry with you, or to rebuke you.	9 »Bit će mi k’o za Noinih dana, kad se zakleh da vode Noine neće više preplaviti zemlju; tako se zaklinjem da se više neću na tebe srditi nit’ ću ti prijetiti.
10 Though the mountains leave their place and the hills be shaken, My love shall never leave you nor my covenant of peace be shaken, says the LORD, who has mercy on you.	10 Nek’ se pokrenu planine i potresu brijezi, al’ se ljubav moja neće odmać’ od tebe, nit’ će se pokolebati moj savez mira«, kaže Jahve koji ti se smilovao.
11 O afflicted one, storm-battered and unconsoled, I lay your pavements in carnelians, and your foundations in sapphires;	11 »O nevoljnice, vihorom vitlana, neutješna, gle, postavit ću na smaragd tvoje kamenje i na safir tvoje temelje.
12 I will make your battlements of rubies, your gates of carbuncles, and all your walls of precious stones.	12 Od rubina dići ću ti kruništa, vrata tvoja od prozirca, ograde ti od dragulja.
13 All your sons shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children.	13 Svi će ti sinovi Jahvini biti učenici, i velika će biti sreća djece tvoje.
14 In justice shall you be established, far from the fear of oppression, where destruction cannot come near you.	14 Na pravdi ćeš biti zasnovana. Odbaci tjeskobu, nemaš se čega bojati, odbaci strah jer ti se neće primaći.
15 Should there be any attack, it shall not be of my making; whoever attacks you shall fall before you.	15 Ako li te napadnu, neće doći od mene; tko se na te digne, zbog tebe će pasti.
16 Lo, I have created the craftsman who blows on the burning coals and forges weapons as his work; It is I also who have created the destroyer to work havoc.	16 Gle, ja sam stvorio kovača koji raspaljuje žeravu i vadi iz nje oružje da ga kuje. Ali stvorih i zatornika da uništava.
17 No weapon fashioned against you shall prevail; every tongue you shall prove false that launches an accusation against you. This is the lot of the servants of the LORD, their vindication from me, says the LORD.	17 Neće uspjeti oružje protiv tebe skovano. Dokazat ćeš da je zao svaki jezik što na te udari na sudu. To je baština slugu Jahvinih, to im je pobjeda od mene« – riječ je Jahvina.
