< Izaija 60 >
1 Vstani, zasij, kajti tvoja svetloba je prišla in Gospodova slava je vstala nad teboj.
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you!
2 Kajti glej, tema bo prekrila zemljo in velika tema ljudstva, toda Gospod bo vstal nad teboj in njegova slava bo vidna na tebi.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
3 Pogani bodo prišli k tvoji svetlobi in kralji k siju tvojega vzhajanja.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 Dvigni svoje oči naokoli in poglej. Vsi se zbirajo skupaj, prihajajo k tebi. Tvoji sinovi bodo prišli od daleč in tvoje hčere bodo negovane ob tvoji strani.
“Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together. They come to you. Your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried in arms.
5 Takrat boš videla in tekla skupaj in tvoje srce se bo balo in bo povečano, ker bo obilje morja obrnjeno k tebi, sile poganov bodo prišle k tebi.
Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you. The wealth of the nations will come to you.
6 Pokrila te bo množica kamel, [enogrbi] velblodi iz Midjána in Efe, vsi tisti iz Sabe bodo prišli. Prinesli bodo zlato in kadilo in naznanjali bodo Gospodove hvalnice.
A multitude of camels will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah. All from Sheba will come. They will bring gold and frankincense, and will proclaim the praises of the LORD.
7 Vsi kedárski tropi bodo zbrani skupaj k tebi, Nebajótovi ovni ti bodo služili. Na moj oltar bodo prišli s sprejetjem in jaz bom proslavil hišo svoje slave.
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you. The rams of Nebaioth will serve you. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar; and I will beautify my glorious house.
8 Kdo so ti, ki letijo kakor oblak in kakor golobice k svojim oknom?
“Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9 Otoki bodo zagotovo čakali name in spredaj ladje iz Taršíša, da privedejo tvoje sinove od daleč, njihovo srebro in njihovo zlato z njimi, k imenu Gospoda, tvojega Boga in k Svetemu Izraelovemu, ker te je proslavil.
Surely the islands will wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
10 Sinovi tujcev bodo zgradili tvoja obzidja in njihovi kralji ti bodo služili, kajti v svojem besu sem te udaril, toda v svoji naklonjenosti sem imel usmiljenje nad teboj.
“Foreigners will build up your walls, and their kings will serve you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
11 Zato bodo tvoja velika vrata nenehno odprta; ne podnevi ne ponoči ne bodo zaprta, da ti bodo ljudje lahko prinašali sile poganov in da bodo lahko privedeni njihovi kralji.
Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
12 Kajti narod in kraljestvo, ki ti ne bo služilo, bo propadlo; da, ti narodi bodo popolnoma opustošeni.
For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
13 Slava Libanona bo prišla k tebi, cipresa, bor in pušpan skupaj, da olepšajo kraj mojega svetišča in kraj svojih stopal bom naredil veličasten.
“The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 Tudi sinovi tistih, ki so te prizadeli, bodo prišli, upogibajoč se k tebi in vsi, ki so te prezirali, se bodo priklonili pri podplatih tvojih stopal in imenovali te bodo: › Gospodovo mesto, Sion Svetega Izraelovega.‹
The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you; and all those who despised you will bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. They will call you the LORD’s City, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 Kakor si bila zapuščena in osovražena, tako da noben človek ni šel skozi tebe, te bom naredil za večno odličnost, radost mnogih rodov.
“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 Prav tako boš sesala mleko poganov in sesala prsi kraljev in vedela boš, da sem jaz, Gospod, tvoj Odrešenik in tvoj Odkupitelj, Mogočni Jakobov.
You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse from royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Za bron bom prinesel zlato in za železo bom prinesel srebro in za les bron in za kamne železo. Prav tako bom postavil [za] tvoje častnike mir in tvoje priganjače pravičnost.
For bronze I will bring gold; for iron I will bring silver; for wood, bronze, and for stones, iron. I will also make peace your governor, and righteousness your ruler.
18 Nasilja ne bo več slišati v tvoji deželi niti pustošenja niti uničenja znotraj tvojih meja, temveč boš svoja obzidja imenovala Odrešenje in svoja velika vrata Hvala.
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, nor desolation or destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 Sonce ne bo več tvoja svetloba podnevi niti ti za sijaj luna ne bo dajala svetlobe, temveč ti bo Gospod večna svetloba in tvoj Bog tvoja slava.
The sun will be no more your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
20 Tvoje sonce ne bo več zašlo niti se tvoja luna ne bo umaknila, kajti Gospod bo tvoja večna svetloba in dnevi tvojega žalovanja bodo končani.
Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.
21 Prav tako tvoje ljudstvo – vsi bodo pravični. Podedovali bodo deželo na veke, mladiko mojega sajenja, delo mojih rok, da bom lahko proslavljen.
Then your people will all be righteous. They will inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 Najmanjši bo postal tisoč in malček mogočen narod. Jaz, Gospod, bom to pospešil ob svojem času.
The little one will become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, the LORD, will do this quickly in its time.”
