Isaiah 35
1 The wilderness and dry land will celebrate; the desert will blossom like the crocus.
Nek' se uzraduje pustinja, zemlja sasušena, neka kliče stepa, nek' ljiljan procvjeta.
2 Bloom profusely, celebrate and sing! The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God.
Nek' bujno cvatom cvate, da, neka od veselja kliče i nek' se raduje. Dana joj je slava Libanona, divota Karmela i Šarona; oni će vidjeti slavu Jahvinu, divotu Boga našega.
3 Make the weak hands strong, and make the trembling knees firm!
Ukrijepite ruke klonule, učvrstite koljena klecava!
4 Tell those who are frightened, “Be strong! Don't be afraid! Look, your God is coming to punish his enemies, with divine retribution he will come to save you.”
Recite preplašenim srcima: “Budite jaki, ne bojte se! Evo Boga vašega, odmazda dolazi, Božja naplata, on sam hita da nas spasi!”
5 When that happens, the blind will see, and the deaf will hear.
Sljepačke će oči progledati, uši će se gluhih otvoriti,
6 The lame will jump like a deer, and the dumb will sing for joy. Springs will gush in the wilderness; streams will flow in the desert.
tad će hromi skakati k'o jelen, njemakov će jezik klicati. Jer će u pustinji provreti voda, i u stepi potoci,
7 The dried-up ground will become like a pool, the arid land like water springs. In the place where jackals used to live, there will be grass and reeds and rushes.
sažgana će zemlja postat' jezero, a tlo žedno - izvori. U brlozima gdje ležahu čaglji izrast će rogoz i trska.
8 There will be a highway there, a road called “The Way of Holiness.” Nobody bad will travel on it, only those who follow the Way. Fools will not go there.
Bit će ondje čista cesta, a zvat će se Sveti put: nitko nečist njime neće proći, bezumnici njime neće lutati.
9 No lions or other dangerous animals will be found there on the road—only the redeemed will walk along it.
Ondje neće više biti lÓava, nit' će onud zvijer prolaziti, već će hodit' samo otkupljeni,
10 Those the Lord has set free will return, singing as they enter Jerusalem, wearing crowns of everlasting joy. They are overcome with thankfulness and happiness; sorrow and sadness simply disappear.
vraćati se otkupljenici Jahvini. Doći će u Sion kličuć' od radosti, s veseljem vječnim na čelima; pratit će ih radost i veselje, pobjeći će bol i jauci.
