Isaija 35

1 Radovaæe se tome pustinja i zemlja sasušena, veseliæe se pustoš i procvjetati kao ruža.

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad. And the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 Procvjetaæe obilno, i veseliæe se radujuæi se i popijevajuæi; slava Livanska daæe joj se i krasota Karmilska i Saronska; ta æe mjesta vidjeti slavu Gospodnju, krasotu Boga našega.

It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God.

3 Ukrijepite klonule ruke, i koljena iznemogla utvrdite.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

4 Recite onima kojima se srce uplašilo: ohrabrite se, ne bojte se; evo Boga vašega; osveta ide, plata Božija, sam ide, i spašæe vas.

Say to those who are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.

5 Tada æe se otvoriti oèi slijepima, i uši gluhima otvoriæe se.

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6 Tada æe hromac skakati kao jelen, i jezik nijemoga pjevaæe, jer æe u pustinji provreti vode i potoci u zemlji sasušenoj.

Then the lame man shall leap as a hart, and the tongue of the mute shall sing. For waters in the wilderness shall break out, and streams in the desert.

7 I suho æe mjesto postati jezero, i zemlja sasušena izvori vodeni, u stanu zmajevskom, po ložama njihovijem, biæe trava, trska i sita.

And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. In the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8 I ondje æe biti nasap i put, koji æe se zvati sveti put; neæe iæi po njemu neèisti, nego æe biti za njih; ko uzide njim, ni lud neæe zaæi.

And a 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 the redeemed, the wayfaring men. Yea fools shall not err in it.

9 Neæe ondje biti lava, i ljuta zvijer neæe iæi po njemu, niti æe se ondje naæi, nego æe hoditi izbavljeni.

No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up in it. They shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there.

10 I koje iskupi Gospod, vratiæe se i doæi æe u Sion pjevajuæi, i vjeèna æe radost biti nad glavom njihovom, dobiæe radost i veselje, a žalost i uzdisanje bježaæe.

And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion. And everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
