< Isaiah 52 >

1 Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.
Prebudi se, prebudi se, nadeni svojo moč, oh Sion, nadeni svoje krasne obleke, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, sveto mesto, kajti odslej vate ne bo več vstopil neobrezani in nečisti.
2 Make yourself clean from the dust; up! and take the seat of your power, O Jerusalem: the bands of your neck are loose, O prisoned daughter of Zion.
Otresi si prah, vstani in usedi se, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, odveži si vezi iz svojega vratu, oh ujeta hči sionska.
3 For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Prodali ste se za nič in odkupljeni boste brez denarja.‹
4 For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause.
Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Moje ljudstvo je poprej šlo dol v Egipt, da začasno prebiva tam in Asirec jih je zatiral brez vzroka.
5 Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.
Sedaj torej, kaj imam tukaj, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da je moje ljudstvo vzeto proč za nič? Tisti, ki vladajo nad njimi, jim povzročajo, da tulijo, ‹ govori Gospod ›in moje ime je nenehno vsak dan preklinjano.
6 For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.
Zato bo moje ljudstvo spoznalo moje ime, zato bodo na tisti dan vedeli, da jaz sem tisti, ki govori. Glejte, jaz sem.
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!
Kako lepa so na gorah stopala tistega, ki prinaša dobre novice, ki objavlja mir, ki prinaša dobre novice o dobrem, ki objavlja rešitev duš, ki Sionu pravi: ›Tvoj Bog kraljuje!‹
8 The voice of your watchmen! their voices are loud in song together; for they will see him, eye to eye, when the Lord comes back to Zion.
Tvoji stražarji bodo povzdignili glas, z glasom bodo skupaj peli, kajti videli bodo iz oči v oči, ko bo Gospod ponovno privedel Sion.
9 Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.
Izbruhnite v radost, skupaj prepevajte, vi opustošeni kraji [prestolnice] Jeruzalem, kajti Gospod je potolažil svoje ljudstvo, odkupil je [prestolnico] Jeruzalem.
10 The Lord has let his holy arm be seen by the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
Gospod je svoj sveti laket razgalil v očeh vseh narodov in vsi konci zemlje bodo videli rešitev duš našega Boga.
11 Away! away! go out from there, touching no unclean thing; go out from among her; be clean, you who take up the vessels of the Lord.
Odidite, odidite, pojdite ven od tod, ne dotikajte se nobene nečiste stvari, pojdite ven iz njene srede, bodite čisti vi, ki nosite Gospodove posode.
12 For you will not go out suddenly, and you will not go in flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will come after you to keep you.
Kajti ven ne boste šli z naglico niti s pobegom, kajti Gospod bo šel pred vami in Izraelov Bog bo vaša zadnja straža.
13 See, my servant will do well in his undertakings, he will be honoured, and lifted up, and be very high.
Glejte, moj služabnik bo ravnal razsodno, povzdignjen bo, povišan in bo zelo visok.
14 As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.
Kakor so bili mnogi osupli nad teboj. Njegov videz je bil tako iznakažen, bolj kakor [od] kateregakoli človeka in njegova oblika bolj kakor od človeških sinov;
15 So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears.
tako bo poškropil mnoge narode; kralji bodo zaprli svoja usta pred njim. Kajti to, kar jim ni bilo povedano, bodo videli, in česar niso slišali, bodo preudarjali.
