Isaiah 35
1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Divjina in samoten kraj bosta vesela zaradi njih in puščava se bo razveseljevala in cvetela kakor vrtnica.
2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [and] the excellency 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 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
Ojačajte šibke roke in okrepite slabotna kolena.
4 Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a recompence; he will come and save you.
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 shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Potem bodo oči slepega odprte in ušesa gluhega bodo odmašena.
6 Then shall the lame [man] leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
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 parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, [shall be] grass with reeds and rushes.
Izsušena tla bodo postala ribnik in žejna dežela izviri vodá. V prebivališču zmajev, kjer vsak leži, bo trava s trstjem in ločjem.
8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it [shall be] for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err [therein].
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 shall be there, nor [any] ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there: ]
Tam ne bo nobenega leva niti katerakoli sestradana zver ne bo šla nanjo, tam je ne bo najti; temveč bodo tam hodili odkupljeni.
10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
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.
