< Jesajas 35 >
1 Sausā un tukšā zeme priecāsies, un klajums līksmosies un ziedēs kā rozes.
The desolate and impassable land will rejoice, and the place of solitude will exult, and it will flourish like the lily.
2 Ziedēt tas ziedēs un līksmosies ar prieku un gavilēšanu; Lībanus godība tam ir dota, Karmeļa un Šarona glītums, - tie redzēs Tā Kunga godību, mūsu Dieva glītumu.
It will spring up and blossom, and it will exult with rejoicing and praising. The glory of Lebanon has been given to it, with the beauty of Carmel and Sharon. These will see the glory of the Lord and the beauty of our God.
3 Stiprinājiet nogurušās rokas un dariet stingrus gurdenos ceļus.
Strengthen the lax hands, and confirm the weak knees!
4 Sakāt tām samisušām sirdīm: esiet stipras, nebīstaties! Redzi, jūsu Dievs! Atriebšana nāk, atmaksāšana no Dieva; Viņš nāk un jūs atpestīs.
Say to the fainthearted: “Take courage and fear not! Behold, your God will bring the vindication of retribution. God himself will arrive to save you.”
5 Tad aklu acis taps atvērtas un kurlu ausis atdarītas.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be cleared.
6 Tad tizlais lēkās kā stirna, un mēmu mēle slavēs priecīgi. Jo tuksnesī izvirs ūdeņi, un upes klajumos.
Then the disabled will leap like a buck, and the tongue of the mute will be untied. For the waters have burst forth in the desert, and torrents in solitary places.
7 Un sausums taps par ezeru un izkaltusi zeme par ūdens avotiem. Tanīs vietās, kur vilki mituši, būs zāle ar niedrēm un ašķiem(ezera meldrs).
And the land that was dry will have a pond, and the thirsty land will have fountains of water. In the hollows where the serpents lived before, there will rise up the greenery of reed and bulrush.
8 Un tur būs liels ceļš. Ceļš, ko nosauks par svētu ceļu; kas nešķīsts, pa to nestaigās, jo tas pieder šķīstiem, kas pa to ceļu staigā, - pašas nesaprašas tur nevar maldīties.
And there shall be a path and a road in that place. And it will be called the Holy Way. The defiled will not pass through it. For this will be an upright path for you, so much so that the foolish will not wander along it.
9 Tur nebūs lauvas, un plēsīgs zvērs tur nerādīsies un neatradīsies, bet tie atpestītie pa to staigās.
There will be no lions in that place, and harmful wild animals will neither climb up to it, nor be found there. Only those who have been freed will walk in that place.
10 Un Tā Kunga atpirktie griezīsies atpakaļ un nāks uz Ciānu ar gavilēšanu, un mūžīga līksmība būs pār viņu galvām; prieks un līksmība tos apkamps, bet skumjas un bēdas bēgs projām.
And the redeemed of the Lord will be converted, and they will return to Zion with praising. And everlasting joy will be upon their heads. They will obtain gladness and rejoicing. For pain and sorrow will flee away.
