1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
1Duh Jahve Gospoda na meni je, jer me Jahve pomaza, posla me da radosnu vijest donesem ubogima, da iscijelim srca slomljena; da zarobljenima navijestim slobodu i oslobođenje sužnjevima;
2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
2da navijestim godinu milosti Jahvine i dan odmazde Boga našega; da razveselim ožalošćene na Sionu
3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
3i da im dadem vijenac mjesto pepela, ulje radosti mjesto ruha žalosti, pjesmu zahvalnicu mjesto duha očajna. I zvat će ih Hrastovima pravde, Nasadom Jahvinim - na slavu njegovu.
4And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
4Oni će nanovo dići drevne razvaline, sazdati opet mjesta poharana, ruševine prošlih pokoljenja.
5And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
5Tuđinci će doći da vam stada pasu, stranci će vam biti ratari i vinogradari.
6But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
6A vas će zvati "Svećenici Jahvini", nazivat će vas "Službenici Boga našega". Uživat ćete bogatstva naroda, blagom se njihovim dičiti.
7For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
7Dvostruka bijaše njihova sramota - rug i prezir bijahu im baština - zato će u zemlji svojoj baštinit' dvostruko, njihova će biti radost vječita.
8For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
8Jer ja, Jahve, ljubim pravdu, a mrzim grabež nepravedni. Vjerno ću ih nagraditi i sklopiti s njima Savez vječni.
9And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
9Slavno će im biti sjeme među pucima i potomstvo među narodima. Tko god ih vidi, prepoznat će da su sjeme što ga Jahve blagoslovi.
10I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
10Radošću silnom u Jahvi se radujem, duša moja kliče u Bogu mojemu, jer me odjenu haljinom spasenja, zaogrnu plaštem pravednosti, kao ženik kad sebi vijenac stavi il' nevjesta kad se uresi nakitom.
11For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
11Kao što zemlja tjera svoje klice, kao što u vrtu niče sjemenje, učinit će Gospod da iznikne pravda i hvala pred svim narodima.
