< Yeşaya 32 >

1 İşte kral doğrulukla krallık yapacak, Önderler adaletle yönetecek.
Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
2 Her biri rüzgara karşı bir sığınak, Fırtınaya karşı bir barınak, çölde akarsu, Çorak yerde gölge salan Büyük bir kaya gibi olacak.
Each [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
3 Artık görenlerin gözleri kapanmayacak, Dinleyenler kulak kesilecek.
When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
4 Düşüncesizin aklı bilgiye erecek, Kekeme açık seçik, akıcı konuşacak.
[Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
5 Artık budalaya soylu, Alçağa saygın denmeyecek.
[At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
6 Çünkü budala saçmalıyor, Aklı fikri hep kötülükte. İşi gücü fesat işlemek, RAB'be ilişkin yanlış sözler söylemek, Açları aç bırakmak, Susamışlardan suyu esirgemek.
Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
7 Alçağın yöntemleri kötüdür; Yoksul davasında haklı olsa da Onu yalanlarla yok etmek için Kötü düzenler tasarlar.
Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
8 Soylu kişiyse soylu şeyler tasarlar, Yaptığı soylu işlerle ayakta kalır.
But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
9 Ey tasasızca yaşayan kadınlar, Kalkın, sesimi işitin; Ey kaygısız kızlar, sözüme kulak verin!
You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
10 Bir yıl kadar sonra sarsılacaksınız, Ey kaygısız kadınlar. Çünkü bağbozumu olmayacak, Devşirecek meyve bulunmayacak.
One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
11 Titreyin, ey tasasızca yaşayan kadınlar, Sarsılın, ey kaygısızlar. Giysilerinizi çıkarın, soyunup belinize çul kuşanın.
[So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
12 Güzel tarlalar, verimli asmalar, Halkımın diken ve çalı bitmiş toprakları için, Neşeli kentteki mutluluk dolu evler için göğsünüzü dövün.
Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
14 Çünkü saray ıssız, Kalabalık kent bomboş kalacak. Ofel Mahallesi'yle gözcü kulesi Sonsuza dek bozkıra dönecek; Yaban eşeklerinin keyifle gezindiği, Sürülerin otladığı bir yer olacak.
The [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
15 Ta ki yukarıdan üzerimize ruh dökülene dek; O zaman çöl meyve bahçesine, Meyve bahçesi ormana dönecek.
[It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
16 O zaman adalet çöle dek yayılacak, Doğruluk meyve bahçesinde yurt bulacak.
People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
17 Doğruluğun ürünü esenlik, Sonucu, sürekli huzur ve güven olacaktır.
And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
18 Halkım esenlik dolu evlerde, Güvenli ve rahat yerlerde yaşayacak.
My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
19 Dolu ormanları harap etse, Kent yerle bir olsa da,
[Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
20 Sulak yerde tohum eken, Sığırını, eşeğini özgürce çayıra salan sizlere ne mutlu!
Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
