Izaija 52
1 Prebudi se, prebudi se, nadeni svojo moč, oh Sion, nadeni svoje krasne obleke, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, sveto mesto, kajti odslej vate ne bo več vstopil neobrezani in nečisti.
Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for there shall no more enter into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Otresi si prah, vstani in usedi se, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, odveži si vezi iz svojega vratu, oh ujeta hči sionska.
Shake yourself from the dust. Arise, sit up, Jerusalem. Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
3 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Prodali ste se za nič in odkupljeni boste brez denarja.‹
For thus says YHWH, "You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money."
4 Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Moje ljudstvo je poprej šlo dol v Egipt, da začasno prebiva tam in Asirec jih je zatiral brez vzroka.
For thus says YHWH, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Sedaj torej, kaj imam tukaj, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da je moje ljudstvo vzeto proč za nič? Tisti, ki vladajo nad njimi, jim povzročajo, da tulijo, ‹ govori Gospod ›in moje ime je nenehno vsak dan preklinjano.
"Now therefore, what do I do here," says YHWH, "seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock," says YHWH. "Because of you, my name is continually all the day blasphemed among the nations.
6 Zato bo moje ljudstvo spoznalo moje ime, zato bodo na tisti dan vedeli, da jaz sem tisti, ki govori. Glejte, jaz sem.
Therefore my people shall know my name; in that day they will know that I am he who speaks; look, it is I."
7 Kako lepa so na gorah stopala tistega, ki prinaša dobre novice, ki objavlja mir, ki prinaša dobre novice o dobrem, ki objavlja rešitev duš, ki Sionu pravi: ›Tvoj Bog kraljuje!‹
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good things, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
8 Tvoji stražarji bodo povzdignili glas, z glasom bodo skupaj peli, kajti videli bodo iz oči v oči, ko bo Gospod ponovno privedel Sion.
The voice of your watchmen. They lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when YHWH returns to Zion with compassion.
9 Izbruhnite v radost, skupaj prepevajte, vi opustošeni kraji [prestolnice] Jeruzalem, kajti Gospod je potolažil svoje ljudstvo, odkupil je [prestolnico] Jeruzalem.
Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for YHWH has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Gospod je svoj sveti laket razgalil v očeh vseh narodov in vsi konci zemlje bodo videli rešitev duš našega Boga.
YHWH has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and every part of the earth has seen the salvation of our God.
11 Odidite, odidite, pojdite ven od tod, ne dotikajte se nobene nečiste stvari, pojdite ven iz njene srede, bodite čisti vi, ki nosite Gospodove posode.
Depart, depart, go out from there, and touch no unclean thing. Go out from their midst, and be separate, you who bear the vessels of YHWH.
12 Kajti ven ne boste šli z naglico niti s pobegom, kajti Gospod bo šel pred vami in Izraelov Bog bo vaša zadnja straža.
For you shall not depart in haste, nor shall you leave in flight; for YHWH will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13 Glejte, moj služabnik bo ravnal razsodno, povzdignjen bo, povišan in bo zelo visok.
Look, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
14 Kakor so bili mnogi osupli nad teboj. Njegov videz je bil tako iznakažen, bolj kakor [od] kateregakoli človeka in njegova oblika bolj kakor od človeških sinov;
Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
15 tako bo poškropil mnoge narode; kralji bodo zaprli svoja usta pred njim. Kajti to, kar jim ni bilo povedano, bodo videli, in česar niso slišali, bodo preudarjali.
so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which was not told about him, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
