< Isaiah 54 >
1 Exult, thou barren, that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith Jehovah.
»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 thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
Povečaj kraj svojega šotora in naj razprostrejo zagrinjala tvojih prebivališč. Ne šparaj, podaljšaj svoje vrvi in ojačaj svoje kline,
3 For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess nations, and they shall make 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, for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
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 thy Maker is thy husband: Jehovah of hosts is his name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Kajti tvoj Stvarnik je tvoj soprog, Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime in tvoj Odkupitelj Sveti Izraelov; imenovali ga bodo Bog celotne zemlje.
6 For Jehovah hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and as a wife of youth, that hath been refused, saith thy 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 small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
»Kajti za kratek trenutek sem te zapustil, toda z velikimi usmiljenji te bom zbral.
8 In the outpouring of wrath have I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting loving-kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer.
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 For this is [as] the waters of Noah unto me, since I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth: so have I sworn that I will no more be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
»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 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving-kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah, that hath mercy on thee.
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 [Thou] afflicted, tossed with tempest, not comforted! Behold, I will set thy stones in antimony, and lay thy foundations with sapphires;
»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 thy battlements of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of precious stones.
Tvoja okna bom naredil iz ahata in tvoja velika vrata iz granata in vse tvoje meje iz prijetnih kamnov.
13 And all thy children [shall be] taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Vsi tvoji otroci bodo poučevani od Gospoda in velik bo mir tvojih otrok.
14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
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, they shall surely gather together, [but] not by me: whosoever gathereth together against thee shall fall because of thee.
Glej, zagotovo se bodo zbrali skupaj, toda to ni od mene. Kdorkoli se bo skupaj zbral proti tebi, bo padel zaradi tebe.
16 Behold, it is I who have created the smith that bloweth in the fire of coal, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the destroyer to ravage.
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 No weapon that is prepared against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah; and their righteousness is of me, saith Jehovah.
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.
