< Izaiáš 61 >
1 Duch Panovníka Hospodina jest nade mnou, proto že pomazal mne Hospodin, abych kázal evangelium tichým. Poslal mne, abych uvázal rány skroušených srdcem, abych vyhlásil jatým svobodu, a vězňům otevření žaláře,
The Spirit of Yahweh [our] Lord is on me; he has appointed [MTY] me to bring good news to those who are oppressed, to comfort those who are discouraged, to free [all] those who are [as though they are chained/tied] [DOU] [by the wrong things that they continually do].
2 Abych vyhlásil léto milostivé Hospodinovo, a den pomsty Boha našeho, abych těšil všecky kvílící,
He has sent me to tell those who mourn [about the members of their families who died] (OR, [who are still in Babylonia)] that now is the time when Yahweh will act kindly [toward his people]; now is the time when our God will (get revenge on/punish) [their enemies].
3 Abych způsobil radost kvílícím Sionským, a dal jim okrasu místo popela, olej veselé místo smutku, oděv chvály místo ducha sevřeného. I nazvání budou stromové spravedlnosti, štípení Hospodinovo, abych oslavován byl.
To [all] those in Jerusalem who mourn, he will give flower necklaces [to wear]; instead of ashes [that they put on their heads to show that they are sad]; he will cause them to rejoice [MTY] instead of being sad; he will enable them to be [MET] happy instead of being discouraged. They will be called “people who continually do what is right, people who are [like tall/strong] oak [trees] that Yahweh has planted” to show others that he is very great.
4 Tedy vzdělají pustiny starodávní, pouště staré spraví, a obnoví města zpuštěná, pustá po mnohé národy.
[Those who return from Babylon] will rebuild the cities that [the soldiers from Babylon] tore down. [Even though] those cities have been destroyed and abandoned for many years, they will be restored/rebuilt.
5 Nebo postaví se cizozemci, a pásti budou stáda vaše, a synové cizozemců oráči vaši a vinaři vaši budou.
Foreigners will be the ones who will take care of your flocks [of sheep and goats], and plow your fields and take care of your grapevines.
6 Vy pak kněží Hospodinovi nazváni budete, služebníci Boha našeho slouti budete, zboží pohanů užívati budete, a v slávě jejich zvýšeni budete.
But you [are the ones who] will be like the priests to serve Yahweh, to work for God. You will enjoy valuable goods [that are brought] from other nations, and you will be happy that those things have become yours.
7 Za dvojnásobní zahanbení vaše a pohanění prozpěvovati budete, z podílu jejich a v zemi jejich dvojnásobní dědictví obdržíte, a tak veselé věčné míti budete.
Previously you were shamed and disgraced, but now you will have great blessings; previously [your enemies] humbled you, but now you will have many good things; you will be happy because of being in your land again, and you will rejoice forever.
8 Já zajisté Hospodin miluji soud, a nenávidím loupeže při oběti, a protož způsobím, aby skutkové jejich dáli se v pravdě, a smlouvu věčnou s nimi učiním.
“I, Yahweh, am very pleased with those/judges who decide matters fairly; I hate [those who illegally] take things from other people. I will surely repay my people (for/because of) all that they have suffered [in the past]. And I will make an everlasting agreement with them.
9 I vejdeť v známost mezi pohany símě jejich, a potomci jejich u prostřed národů. Všickni, kteříž je uzří, poznají je, že jsou símě, jemuž požehnal Hospodin.
Their descendants will be honored by people of other nations [DOU]. Everyone who sees them will know that they are a nation that [I], Yahweh, have blessed.”
10 Velice se budu radovati v Hospodinu, a plésati bude duše má v Bohu mém; nebo mne oblékl v roucho spasení, a pláštěm spravedlnosti přioděl mne jako ženicha, kterýž se strojí ozdobně, a jako nevěstu okrašlující se ozdobami svými.
I greatly rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]! I am happy, because he has saved me and declared that I am righteous; [those blessings are like] [MET] a robe that he has put on me. I am [as happy as] [SIM] a bridegroom in his wedding suit, or a bride wearing jewels.
11 Nebo jakož země vydává zrostlinu svou, a jakož zahrada símě své vyvodí, tak Panovník Hospodin vyvede spravedlnost a chválu přede všemi národy.
Just as [seeds sown in] a garden sprout from the soil and grow [DOU], Yahweh [our] God will cause [people of] all nations to act righteously, with the result that they will praise him for doing that.
