Isaiah 61
1 The Lord GOD’s Spirit is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,
Duh Gospoda Boga je nad menoj, ker me je Gospod mazilil, da oznanjam dobre novice krotkim, poslal me je, da povežem potrte v srcu, da razglasim svobodo ujetnikom in odprtje ječe tem, ki so zvezani,
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
da razglasim sprejemljivo leto Gospodovo in dan maščevanja našega Boga, da potolažim vse tiste, ki žalujejo,
3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.
da določim tem, ki žalujejo na Sionu, da jim dam lepoto namesto pepela, olje veselja namesto žalovanja, obleko hvale namesto duha potrtosti, da se bodo lahko imenovali drevesa pravičnosti, Gospodov nasad, da bo on lahko proslavljen.
4 They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the former devastated places. They will repair the ruined cities that have been devastated for many generations.
Zgradili bodo stare opustošenosti, dvignili bodo prejšnja opustošenja in popravili bodo opustošena mesta, zapuščenosti mnogih rodov.
5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks. Foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.
Tujci bodo stali in pasli vaše trope in sinovi neznanca bodo vaši orači in vaši obrezovalci trte.
6 But you will be called the LORD’s priests. Men will call you the servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the nations. You will boast in their glory.
Toda vi boste imenovani Gospodovi duhovniki. Ljudje vas bodo klicali Služabniki našega Boga. Jedli boste bogastva poganov in v njihovi slavi se boste bahali.
7 Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them.
Zaradi vaše sramote boste imeli dvojno in zaradi nečasti se bodo veselili v svojem deležu, zato bodo v svoji deželi posedovali dvojno, njim bo v večno radost.
8 “For I, the LORD, love justice. I hate robbery and iniquity. I will give them their reward in truth and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Kajti jaz, Gospod, ljubim sodbo, sovražim naropano za žgalno daritev in njihovo delo bom vodil v resnici in z njimi bom sklenil večno zavezo.
9 Their offspring will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which the LORD has blessed.”
Njihovo seme bo znano med pogani in njihovo potomstvo med ljudstvom. Vsi, ki jih vidijo, jim bodo priznali, da so seme, ki ga je Gospod blagoslovil.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD! My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Silno se bom razveseljeval v Gospodu, moja duša bo radostna v mojem Bogu, kajti oblekel me je z oblačili rešitve duše, pokril me je s svečanim oblačilom pravičnosti, kakor ženin sebe odene z okrasjem in kakor nevesta sebe okrasi s svojimi dragocenostmi.
11 For as the earth produces its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
Kajti kakor zemlja prinaša svoj brst in kakor vrt povzroča stvarem, ki so posejane vanj, da poženejo, tako bo Gospod Bog povzročil pravičnosti in hvali, da poženeta pred vsemi narodi.
