< Esias 54 >
1 Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said,
»Zapoj, oh jalova, ti, ki nisi nosila, izbruhni v petje in glasno zavpij, ti, ki se nisi mučila z otrokom, kajti več je otrok zapuščene kakor otrok poročene žene, « govori Gospod.
2 Enlarge the place of your tent, and of your curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pins;
Povečaj kraj svojega šotora in naj razprostrejo zagrinjala tvojih prebivališč. Ne šparaj, podaljšaj svoje vrvi in ojačaj svoje kline,
3 spread forth [your tent] yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
kajti izbruhnila boš na desno roko in na levo in tvoje seme bo podedovalo pogane in naredila boš, da bodo opustela mesta naseljena.
4 Fear not, because you has been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you was reproached: for you shall forget your former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach of your widowhood.
Ne boj se, kajti ne boš osramočena niti ne bodi zbegana, kajti ne prideš v sramoto, kajti pozabila boš sramoto svoje mladosti in ne boš se več spominjala graje svojega vdovstva.
5 For [it is] the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered you, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth.
Kajti tvoj Stvarnik je tvoj soprog, Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime in tvoj Odkupitelj Sveti Izraelov; imenovali ga bodo Bog celotne zemlje.
6 The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, says your God.
Kajti Gospod te je poklical kakor žensko, zapuščeno in užaloščeno v duhu in ženo mladosti, ko si bila zavržena, « govori tvoj Bog.
7 For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you.
»Kajti za kratek trenutek sem te zapustil, toda z velikimi usmiljenji te bom zbral.
8 In a little wrath I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.
Z malce besa sem za trenutek skril svoj obraz pred teboj, toda z večno prijaznostjo bom imel usmiljenje nad teboj, « govori Gospod, tvoj Odkupitelj.
9 From the time of the water of Noe this is my [purpose]: as I sware to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened,
»Kajti to mi je kakor so bile Noetove vode, kajti kakor sem prisegel, da Noetove vode ne bodo več šle preko zemlje, tako sem prisegel, da ne bom ogorčen nad teboj niti te ne bom več oštel.
10 shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it].
Kajti gore se bodo umaknile in hribi bodo odstranjeni, toda moja prijaznost ne bo odšla od tebe niti zaveza mojega miru ne bo odstranjena, « govori Gospod, ki ima usmiljenje do tebe.
11 Afflicted and outcast you has not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;
»Oh ti trpeča, premetavana z viharjem in nepotolažena, glej, tvoje kamne bom položil z lepimi barvami in tvoje temelje bom položil s safirji.
12 and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious stones.
Tvoja okna bom naredil iz ahata in tvoja velika vrata iz granata in vse tvoje meje iz prijetnih kamnov.
13 And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.
Vsi tvoji otroci bodo poučevani od Gospoda in velik bo mir tvojih otrok.
14 And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near you.
V pravičnosti boš utrjena, daleč boš od zatiranja, kajti ne boš se bala in [daleč boš] od strahote, kajti ta se ti ne bo približala.
15 Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run to you for refuge.
Glej, zagotovo se bodo zbrali skupaj, toda to ni od mene. Kdorkoli se bo skupaj zbral proti tebi, bo padel zaradi tebe.
16 Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [you].
Glej, jaz sem ustvaril kovača, ki v ognju razpihuje ogorke in ki prinaša orodje za svoje delo in jaz sem ustvaril kvarilca, da uničuje.
17 I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgement, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.
Nobeno orožje, ki je oblikovano zoper tebe, ne bo uspelo in vsak jezik, ki se bo na sodbi dvignil zoper tebe, boš obsodila. To je dediščina Gospodovih služabnikov in njihova pravičnost je od mene, « govori Gospod.
