Izaiáš 52
1 Probuď se, probuď se, oblec se v sílu svou, Sione, oblec se v roucho okrasy své, ó Jeruzaléme, město svaté; neboť nebude již více na tě dotírati neobřezaný a nečistý.
[You people who live in the] holy city of Jerusalem [APO], wake up! Be strong again! Show that [MTY] your city is beautiful and glorious; foreigners who do not believe in God will not enter your city again [to attack you].
2 Otřes se z prachu, povstaň, posaď se, Jeruzaléme; dobuď se z okovů hrdla svého, ó jatá dcerko Sionská.
People of Jerusalem, get up from [humbly] sitting in the dust and sit in places where people are honored! You people who have returned from being exiled, take off from your neck the chains which were fastened around you [as slaves in Babylonia],
3 Takto zajisté dí Hospodin: Darmo jste sebe prodali, protož bez peněz budete vykoupeni.
because this is what Yahweh says: “[When you were taken to Babylonia], no one paid me for doing that. So now I will bring you back without [being required to] pay for you!”
4 Nebo takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Do Egypta sstoupil lid můj předešle, aby tam byl pohostinu, ale Assur bez příčiny jej ssužuje.
Yahweh [our] Lord [also] says this: “Long ago, my people went to Egypt to live there. [Later] they were being (oppressed/treated cruelly) by [the soldiers of] Assyria.
5 Nyní tedy což mám činiti? praví Hospodin. Poněvadž jest lid můj zajat darmo, a panovníci jeho k úpění jej přivodí, praví Hospodin. Nad to ustavičně každého dne jménu mému útržka se činí.
But now think about what is happening: My people are being forced to be slaves again, this time by the [people of Babylonia]. And [those who have conquered them this time have also] paid me nothing, and they despise me [MTY] continually [DOU].
6 Protož poznáť lid můj jméno mé, protož poznáť, pravím, v ten den, že já tentýž, kterýž mluvím, aj, přítomen budu.
But my people will then have a close relationship with [MTY] me, and when that happens, they will know that I am the one who predicted/promised [that it would happen]. It is I, [Yahweh, who will do it].”
7 Ó jak krásné na horách nohy toho, ješto potěšené věci zvěstuje, a ohlašuje pokoj, toho, ješto zvěstuje dobré, ješto káže spasení, a mluví k Sionu: Kralujeť Bůh tvůj.
It is a wonderful thing when messengers [MTY] arrive on the mountains/hills, bringing good news, the news about [God giving us] peace and saving us, the news that the God to whom we [Israeli people] belong is now ruling/king!
8 Strážní tvoji hlasu, hlasu pozdvihnou, a spolu prokřikovati budou; neboť okem v oko uzří, že Hospodin zase přivede Sion.
The watchmen [who are guarding the city] will shout and sing joyfully, because while they are watching they will see Yahweh returning to Jerusalem.
9 Zvučte, prozpěvujte spolu pustiny Jeruzalémské; neboť jest potěšil Hospodin lidu svého, vykoupil Jeruzalém.
Jerusalem has been ruined, but the people who are there now should start to sing joyfully, because Yahweh will encourage his people; he will set his people free and bring them back to Jerusalem.
10 Ohrnul Hospodin rámě svatosti své před očima všech národů, aby viděly všecky končiny země spasení Boha našeho.
Yahweh will show all the nations that he is holy and powerful. People in the most remote/distant places on earth will know that he has rescued his people.
11 Odejděte, odejděte, vyjděte z Babylona, nečistého se nedotýkejte; vyjděte z prostředku jeho, očisťte se vy, kteříž nosíte nádobí Hospodinovo.
So, leave [the places where you were taken to when you were captured], where [everything is] unacceptable to God. You men who carry the items used for the worship of Yahweh, leave there [and return to Jerusalem], and purify yourselves [in order to be acceptable to worship God].
12 Nebo ne s chvátáním vyjdete, aniž s utíkáním půjdete; předcházeti zajisté bude vás Hospodin, a zbéře vás Bůh Izraelský.
But it will not [be necessary] for you to leave suddenly, to flee in panic, because Yahweh will (go in front of/lead) you; and he will [also] protect you [from being attacked] at the rear [while you travel].
13 Aj, služebníku mému šťastně se povede, vyvýšen, vznešen a zveleben bude velmi.
[Yahweh says], “Listen carefully! My servant will act wisely (OR, do the right things to accomplish what he wants to), and I will highly exalt him.”
14 A jakož mnozí se nad ním užasnou, že tak zohavena jest nad jiné lidi osoba jeho, způsob jeho nad syny lidské:
But many people will be appalled when they see what has happened to him. [Because of his being beaten very badly], his appearance will be changed; people will hardly recognize that he is a human.
15 Tak zase skropí národy mnohé, i králové před ním zacpají ústa svá, proto že což jim nebylo vypravováno, to uzří, a tomu, o čemž neslýchali, porozumějí.
But he will cause [people of] many nations to be surprised; [even] kings will be silent when they stand in front of him, because they will see someone that no one had told them about [previously], and they will understand things that they had not heard about [before].
