Izaija 54
1 »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.
“Sing, you barren woman, you who have not given birth; break into joyful singing and cry aloud, you who have never been in birth labor. For the children of the desolate one are more than the children of the married woman,” says Yahweh.
2 Povečaj kraj svojega šotora in naj razprostrejo zagrinjala tvojih prebivališč. Ne šparaj, podaljšaj svoje vrvi in ojačaj svoje kline,
“Make your tent larger and spread your tent curtains farther out, unsparingly; lengthen your ropes and strengthen your stakes.
3 kajti izbruhnila boš na desno roko in na levo in tvoje seme bo podedovalo pogane in naredila boš, da bodo opustela mesta naseljena.
For you will spread out to the right hand and to the left, and your descendants will conquer nations and resettle desolate cities.
4 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.
Do not fear for you will not be ashamed, nor be discouraged for you will not be disgraced; you will forget the shame of your youth and the disgrace of your abandonment.
5 Kajti tvoj Stvarnik je tvoj soprog, Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime in tvoj Odkupitelj Sveti Izraelov; imenovali ga bodo Bog celotne zemlje.
For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of hosts is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of the whole earth.
6 Kajti Gospod te je poklical kakor žensko, zapuščeno in užaloščeno v duhu in ženo mladosti, ko si bila zavržena, « govori tvoj Bog.
For Yahweh has called you back as a wife abandoned and grieved in spirit, like a woman married young and rejected,” says your God.
7 »Kajti za kratek trenutek sem te zapustil, toda z velikimi usmiljenji te bom zbral.
“For a short time I abandoned you, but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 Z malce besa sem za trenutek skril svoj obraz pred teboj, toda z večno prijaznostjo bom imel usmiljenje nad teboj, « govori Gospod, tvoj Odkupitelj.
In a flood of anger I hid my face from you momentarily; but with everlasting covenant faithfulness I will have mercy on you— says Yahweh, the one who rescues you.
9 »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.
For this is like the waters of Noah to me: as I swore that the waters of Noah would never again pass over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.
10 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.
Though the mountains may fall and the hills be shaken, yet my steadfast love will not turn away from you, nor will my covenant of peace be shaken— says Yahweh, who has mercy on you.
11 »Oh ti trpeča, premetavana z viharjem in nepotolažena, glej, tvoje kamne bom položil z lepimi barvami in tvoje temelje bom položil s safirji.
Afflicted one, storm-driven and uncomforted one, look, I will set your pavement in turquoise, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 Tvoja okna bom naredil iz ahata in tvoja velika vrata iz granata in vse tvoje meje iz prijetnih kamnov.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies and your gates of sparkling stones, and your outer wall of beautiful stones.
13 Vsi tvoji otroci bodo poučevani od Gospoda in velik bo mir tvojih otrok.
Then all your children will be taught by Yahweh; and the peace of your children will be great.
14 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.
In righteousness you will be established, and you will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; and from terror, for it will not come near to you.
15 Glej, zagotovo se bodo zbrali skupaj, toda to ni od mene. Kdorkoli se bo skupaj zbral proti tebi, bo padel zaradi tebe.
Look, if anyone stirs up trouble, it will not be from me; anyone who stirs up trouble with you will fall in defeat.
16 Glej, jaz sem ustvaril kovača, ki v ognju razpihuje ogorke in ki prinaša orodje za svoje delo in jaz sem ustvaril kvarilca, da uničuje.
See, I have created the craftsman, who blows the burning coals and forges weapons as his work, and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
17 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.
No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; and you will condemn everyone who accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their vindication from me—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
