Izaija 60

1 Vstani, zasij, kajti tvoja svetloba je prišla in Gospodova slava je vstala nad teboj.

Arise, shine! for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee.

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 shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen on thee.

3 Pogani bodo prišli k tvoji svetlobi in kralji k siju tvojega vzhajanja.

And the nations shall walk by thy light, and kings by the brightness of thy 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 thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons come from afar, and thy daughters are carried upon the side.

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 thou shalt see, and shalt be brightened, and thy heart shall throb, and be enlarged; for the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee.

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 shall cover thee, young camels of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall publish the praises of Jehovah.

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 shall be gathered unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall serve thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will beautify the house of my magnificence.

8 Kdo so ti, ki letijo kakor oblak in kakor golobice k svojim oknom?

Who are these that come flying as a cloud, and as doves to their dove-cotes?

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.

For the isles shall await me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of Jehovah thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.

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.

And the sons of the alien shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee. For in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

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.

And thy gates shall stand open continually: (they shall not be shut day nor night, ) that the wealth of the nations may be brought unto thee, and that their kings may be led [to thee].

12 Kajti narod in kraljestvo, ki ti ne bo služilo, bo propadlo; da, ti narodi bodo popolnoma opustošeni.

For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; and 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 unto thee, the cypress, pine, and 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.‹

And the children of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee The city of Jehovah, 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.

Instead of thy being forsaken and hated, so that no one went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy from generation to generation.

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.

And thou shalt suck the milk of the nations, and shalt suck the breast of kings; and thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, [am] thy Saviour and thy 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, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood bronze, and for stones iron; and I will make thine officers peace, and thy rulers righteousness.

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 thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy 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 shall be no more thy light by day, neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee; but Jehovah shall be thine everlasting light, and thy God thy 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.

Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

21 Prav tako tvoje ljudstvo – vsi bodo pravični. Podedovali bodo deželo na veke, mladiko mojega sajenja, delo mojih rok, da bom lahko proslavljen.

Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall possess the land for ever — 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 shall become a thousand, and the smallest a mighty nation: I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time.
