Izaija 62
1 Zaradi Siona ne bom molčal in zaradi Jeruzalema ne bom počival, dokler njegova pravičnost ne gre naprej kakor sijaj in njegova rešitev duš kakor svetilka, ki gori.
Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
2 Pogani bodo videli tvojo pravičnost in vsi kralji tvojo slavo in imenovana boš z novim imenom, ki ga bodo poimenovala Gospodova usta.
[Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
3 Krona slave boš v Gospodovi roki in kraljevski diadem v roki svojega Boga.
[It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
4 Ne boš več imenovana Zapuščena niti ne bo tvoja dežela imenovana Opustošena, temveč se boš imenovala Hefziba in tvoja dežela Beula. Kajti Gospod se razveseljuje v tebi in tvoja dežela bo omožena.
Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
5 Kajti kakor mladenič poroči devico, tako se bodo tvoji sinovi poročili s teboj in kakor se ženin razveseljuje nad nevesto, tako se bo tvoj Bog veselil nad teboj.
You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
6 Postavil sem stražarje na tvoja obzidja, oh Jeruzalem, ki niti podnevi niti ponoči ne bodo nikoli mirovali. Vi, ki omenjate Gospoda, ne molčite
[You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
7 in njemu ne dajajte nobenega počitka, dokler ne osnuje in dokler ne naredi [prestolnice] Jeruzalem [za] hvalo na zemlji.
And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
8 Gospod je prisegel pri svoji desnici in pri laktu svoje moči: »Zagotovo ne bom več dajal tvojega žita, da bi bil hrana tvojim sovražnikom in sinovi tujca ne bo pili tvojega vina, za katerega si se trudila,
Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
9 temveč tisti, ki so ga nabrali, ga bodo jedli in hvalili Gospoda in tisti, ki so ga zbrali skupaj, ga bodo pili na dvorih moje svetosti.
You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
10 Pojdite skozi, pojdite skozi velika vrata, pripravite pot ljudstvu, nasujte, nasujte glavno cesto, poberite kamne, dvignite prapor za ljudstvo.
Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
11 Glejte, Gospod je razglasil do konca sveta: »Sionski hčeri recite: ›Glej tvoja rešitev duš prihaja, glej, njegova nagrada je z njim in njegovo delo pred njim.‹«
This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
12 Klicali jih bodo Sveto ljudstvo, Odkupljeni od Gospoda in ti boš imenovana ›Poiskana, ‹ ›Mesto, ki ni zapuščeno.‹
They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
