Izaija 61
1 Duh Gospoda Boga je nad menoj, ker me je Gospod mazilil, da oznanjam dobre novice krotkim, poslal me je, da povežem potrte v srcu, da razglasim svobodo ujetnikom in odprtje ječe tem, ki so zvezani,
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me: he hath sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, and to preach a release to the captives, and deliverance to them that are shut up.
2 da razglasim sprejemljivo leto Gospodovo in dan maščevanja našega Boga, da potolažim vse tiste, ki žalujejo,
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God: to comfort all that mourn:
3 da določim tem, ki žalujejo na Sionu, da jim dam lepoto namesto pepela, olje veselja namesto žalovanja, obleko hvale namesto duha potrtosti, da se bodo lahko imenovali drevesa pravičnosti, Gospodov nasad, da bo on lahko proslavljen.
To appoint to the mourners of Sion, and to give them a crown for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the spirit of grief: and they shall be called in it the mighty ones of justice, the planting of the Lord to glorify hint.
4 Zgradili bodo stare opustošenosti, dvignili bodo prejšnja opustošenja in popravili bodo opustošena mesta, zapuščenosti mnogih rodov.
And they shall build the places that have been waste from of old, and shall raise up ancient ruins, and shall repair the desolate cities, that were destroyed for generation and generation.
5 Tujci bodo stali in pasli vaše trope in sinovi neznanca bodo vaši orači in vaši obrezovalci trte.
And strangers shall stand and shall feed your flocks: and the sons of strangers shall be your husbandmen, and the dressers of your vines.
6 Toda vi boste imenovani Gospodovi duhovniki. Ljudje vas bodo klicali Služabniki našega Boga. Jedli boste bogastva poganov in v njihovi slavi se boste bahali.
But you shall be called the priests of the Lord: to you it shall be said: Ye ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and you shall pride yourselves in their glory.
7 Zaradi vaše sramote boste imeli dvojno in zaradi nečasti se bodo veselili v svojem deležu, zato bodo v svoji deželi posedovali dvojno, njim bo v večno radost.
For your double confusion and shame, they shall praise their part: therefore shall they receive double in their land, everlasting joy shall be unto them.
8 Kajti jaz, Gospod, ljubim sodbo, sovražim naropano za žgalno daritev in njihovo delo bom vodil v resnici in z njimi bom sklenil večno zavezo.
For I am the Lord that love judgment, and hate robbery in a holocaust: and I will make their work in truth, and I will make a perpetual covenant with them.
9 Njihovo seme bo znano med pogani in njihovo potomstvo med ljudstvom. Vsi, ki jih vidijo, jim bodo priznali, da so seme, ki ga je Gospod blagoslovil.
And they shall know their seed among the Gentiles, and their offspring in the midst of peoples: all that shall see them, shall know them, that these are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.
10 Silno se bom razveseljeval v Gospodu, moja duša bo radostna v mojem Bogu, kajti oblekel me je z oblačili rešitve duše, pokril me je s svečanim oblačilom pravičnosti, kakor ženin sebe odene z okrasjem in kakor nevesta sebe okrasi s svojimi dragocenostmi.
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation: and with the robe of justice he hath covered me, as a bridegroom decked with a crown, and as a bride adorned with her jewels.
11 Kajti kakor zemlja prinaša svoj brst in kakor vrt povzroča stvarem, ki so posejane vanj, da poženejo, tako bo Gospod Bog povzročil pravičnosti in hvali, da poženeta pred vsemi narodi.
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth her seed to shoot forth: so shall the Lord God make justice to spring forth, and praise before all the nations.
