Isaiah 61
1 The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to them that are bound;
Duh Gospoda Boga je nad menoj, ker me je Gospod mazilil, da oznanjam dobre novice krotkim, poslal me je, da povežem potrte v srcu, da razglasim svobodo ujetnikom in odprtje ječe tem, ki so zvezani,
2 to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
da razglasim sprejemljivo leto Gospodovo in dan maščevanja našega Boga, da potolažim vse tiste, ki žalujejo,
3 to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
da določim tem, ki žalujejo na Sionu, da jim dam lepoto namesto pepela, olje veselja namesto žalovanja, obleko hvale namesto duha potrtosti, da se bodo lahko imenovali drevesa pravičnosti, Gospodov nasad, da bo on lahko proslavljen.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Zgradili bodo stare opustošenosti, dvignili bodo prejšnja opustošenja in popravili bodo opustošena mesta, zapuščenosti mnogih rodov.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and aliens shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Tujci bodo stali in pasli vaše trope in sinovi neznanca bodo vaši orači in vaši obrezovalci trte.
6 But ye shall be named the priests of the LORD: men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
Toda vi boste imenovani Gospodovi duhovniki. Ljudje vas bodo klicali Služabniki našega Boga. Jedli boste bogastva poganov in v njihovi slavi se boste bahali.
7 For your shame [ye shall have] double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Zaradi vaše sramote boste imeli dvojno in zaradi nečasti se bodo veselili v svojem deležu, zato bodo v svoji deželi posedovali dvojno, njim bo v večno radost.
8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompence in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Kajti jaz, Gospod, ljubim sodbo, sovražim naropano za žgalno daritev in njihovo delo bom vodil v resnici in z njimi bom sklenil večno zavezo.
9 And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
Njihovo seme bo znano med pogani in njihovo potomstvo med ljudstvom. Vsi, ki jih vidijo, jim bodo priznali, da so seme, ki ga je Gospod blagoslovil.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Silno se bom razveseljeval v Gospodu, moja duša bo radostna v mojem Bogu, kajti oblekel me je z oblačili rešitve duše, pokril me je s svečanim oblačilom pravičnosti, kakor ženin sebe odene z okrasjem in kakor nevesta sebe okrasi s svojimi dragocenostmi.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Kajti kakor zemlja prinaša svoj brst in kakor vrt povzroča stvarem, ki so posejane vanj, da poženejo, tako bo Gospod Bog povzročil pravičnosti in hvali, da poženeta pred vsemi narodi.
