Isaiah 35
1 The waste land and the dry places will be glad; the lowland will have joy and be full of flowers.
Divjina in samoten kraj bosta vesela zaradi njih in puščava se bo razveseljevala in cvetela kakor vrtnica.
2 It will be flowering like the rose; it will be full of delight and songs; the glory of Lebanon will be given to it; the pride of Carmel and Sharon: they will see the glory of the Lord, the power of our God.
Ta bo obilno cvetela in se razveseljevala, celo z radostjo in petjem. Dana ji bo slava Libanona, odličnost Karmela in Šaróna. Gledali bodo Gospodovo slavo in odličnost našega Boga.
3 Make strong the feeble hands, give support to the shaking knees.
Ojačajte šibke roke in okrepite slabotna kolena.
4 Say to those who are full of fear, Be strong and take heart: see, your God will give punishment; the reward of God will come; he himself will come to be your saviour.
Recite tistim, ki so boječega srca: »Bodite močni, ne bojte se. Glejte, vaš Bog bo prišel z maščevanjem, celó Bog s povračilom; prišel bo in vas rešil.
5 Then the eyes of the blind will see, and the ears which are stopped will be open.
Potem bodo oči slepega odprte in ušesa gluhega bodo odmašena.
6 Then will the feeble-footed be jumping like a roe, and the voice which was stopped will be loud in song: for in the waste land streams will be bursting out, and waters in the dry places.
Potem bo hromi človek poskakoval kakor jelen in jezik nemega bo pel, kajti v divjini bodo izbruhnile vode in vodotoki v puščavi.
7 And the burning sand will become a pool, and the dry earth springs of waters: the fields where the sheep take their food will become wet land, and water-plants will take the place of grass.
Izsušena tla bodo postala ribnik in žejna dežela izviri vodá. V prebivališču zmajev, kjer vsak leži, bo trava s trstjem in ločjem.
8 And a highway will be there; its name will be, The Holy Way; the unclean and the sinner may not go over it, and those who go on it will not be turned out of the way by the foolish.
Tam bo glavna cesta in pot in ta bo imenovana ›Pot svetosti; ‹ nečisti ne bo šel preko nje, temveč bo ta zanje same. Popotniki, čeprav bedaki, ne bodo zgrešili na njej.
9 No lion will be there, or any cruel beast; they will not be seen there; but those for whom the Lord has given a price,
Tam ne bo nobenega leva niti katerakoli sestradana zver ne bo šla nanjo, tam je ne bo najti; temveč bodo tam hodili odkupljeni.
10 Even those whom he has made free, will come back again; they will come with songs to Zion; on their heads will be eternal joy; delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.
Vrnili se bodo Gospodovi odkupljenci in prišli k Sionu s pesmimi in večno radostjo na svojih glavah. Dosegli bodo radost in veselje, bridkost in vzdihovanje pa bosta zbežala proč.
