< Isaiah 54 >
1 Shout in triumph, O barren one, Who hadst not borne, —Break forth into shouts of triumph—and trill thy voice, Who hadst not travailed in birth, For, more, are the children of the Desolate Than the children of Her who had the husband, Saith Yahweh.
»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 space of thy tent And the curtains of thy habitations, let them spread forth do not spare, —Lengthen thy cords, And thy tent-pins, make thou fast;
Povečaj kraj svojega šotora in naj razprostrejo zagrinjala tvojih prebivališč. Ne šparaj, podaljšaj svoje vrvi in ojačaj svoje kline,
3 For, on the right hand and on the left, shalt thou break forth, —And thy seed, shall of the nations, take possession, And forsaken cities, shall they cause 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 Do not fear for thou shalt not turn pale, Neither feel disgraced for thou shalt not be put to the blush, —For, the shame of thy youth, shalt thou forget, And the reproach of thy widowhood, shalt thou remember no 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 husband, is, thy Maker, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name, —And, thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, The God of all the 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, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, hath Yahweh called thee, —Even the wife of youthful days, in that thou wast rejected 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, I forsook thee, —But, with abounding compassions, do I embrace thee:
»Kajti za kratek trenutek sem te zapustil, toda z velikimi usmiljenji te bom zbral.
8 In an overflow of vexation, I hid my face for a moment, from thee, But, with lovingkindness age-abiding, have I had compassion on thee, —saith thy Redeemer Yahweh.
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, the waters of Noah, is this unto me, —As to which I sware that the waters of Noah should not again pass over the earth, So have I sworn Not to be vexed with thee Nor to 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, may move away, And the hills, may be shaken, —But, my lovingkindness, from thee, shall not move away, And, my covenant of peace, shall not be shaken, saith he who hath compassion upon thee—Yahweh.
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 O thou humbled one storm-tossed, uncomforted, —Lo! I, am about to set in antimony, thy stones, And will found thee in 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 make rubies, thy battlements, And thy gates, sparkling stones, —And, all thy boundaries, stones of delight;
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 the instructed of Yahweh, —And, great, shall be the prosperity of thy children.
Vsi tvoji otroci bodo poučevani od Gospoda in velik bo mir tvojih otrok.
14 In righteousness, shalt thou be established, —Be thou far from oppression—But indeed thou shalt not fear, And from crushing calamity—But indeed it shall not come nigh unto 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 Lo! they would, quarrel, with thee—not at all from me, —Whoso hath quarrelled with thee, over thee, shall fall.
Glej, zagotovo se bodo zbrali skupaj, toda to ni od mene. Kdorkoli se bo skupaj zbral proti tebi, bo padel zaradi tebe.
16 Lo! I, have created the smith, who bloweth up a fire of coals, And who bringeth forth an instrument for his work, —And, I, have created the waster to destroy:
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 instrument formed against thee, shall prosper, And every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, shalt thou prove to be lawless, —This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh. And, their righteousness, is from me, Declareth Yahweh.
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.
