Izaija 35
1 Divjina in samoten kraj bosta vesela zaradi njih in puščava se bo razveseljevala in cvetela kakor vrtnica.
The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like the crocus.
2 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.
It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon's glory Lebanon will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the LORD's glory, the excellence of our God.
3 Ojačajte šibke roke in okrepite slabotna kolena.
Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.
4 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.
Tell those who have a fearful heart, "Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look, your God will come with vengeance, God's retribution. He will come and save you.
5 Potem bodo oči slepega odprte in ušesa gluhega bodo odmašena.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
6 Potem bo hromi človek poskakoval kakor jelen in jezik nemega bo pel, kajti v divjini bodo izbruhnile vode in vodotoki v puščavi.
Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
7 Izsušena tla bodo postala ribnik in žejna dežela izviri vodá. V prebivališču zmajev, kjer vsak leži, bo trava s trstjem in ločjem.
The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.
8 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.
And a highway will be there, and it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.
9 Tam ne bo nobenega leva niti katerakoli sestradana zver ne bo šla nanjo, tam je ne bo najti; temveč bodo tam hodili odkupljeni.
No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous animal go up on it. They will not be found there; but the redeemed will walk there.
10 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.
The LORD's ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away."
