Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Prebudi se, prebudi se, nadeni svojo moč, oh Sion, nadeni svoje krasne obleke, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, sveto mesto, kajti odslej vate ne bo več vstopil neobrezani in nečisti.
2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
Otresi si prah, vstani in usedi se, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, odveži si vezi iz svojega vratu, oh ujeta hči sionska.
3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nothing; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Prodali ste se za nič in odkupljeni boste brez denarja.‹
4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down in times past into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Moje ljudstvo je poprej šlo dol v Egipt, da začasno prebiva tam in Asirec jih je zatiral brez vzroka.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nothing? they that rule over them make them to wail, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
Sedaj torej, kaj imam tukaj, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da je moje ljudstvo vzeto proč za nič? Tisti, ki vladajo nad njimi, jim povzročajo, da tulijo, ‹ govori Gospod ›in moje ime je nenehno vsak dan preklinjano.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
Zato bo moje ljudstvo spoznalo moje ime, zato bodo na tisti dan vedeli, da jaz sem tisti, ki govori. Glejte, jaz sem.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that proclaimeth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that proclaimeth salvation; that saith to Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Kako lepa so na gorah stopala tistega, ki prinaša dobre novice, ki objavlja mir, ki prinaša dobre novice o dobrem, ki objavlja rešitev duš, ki Sionu pravi: ›Tvoj Bog kraljuje!‹
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
Tvoji stražarji bodo povzdignili glas, z glasom bodo skupaj peli, kajti videli bodo iz oči v oči, ko bo Gospod ponovno privedel Sion.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Izbruhnite v radost, skupaj prepevajte, vi opustošeni kraji [prestolnice] Jeruzalem, kajti Gospod je potolažil svoje ljudstvo, odkupil je [prestolnico] Jeruzalem.
10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Gospod je svoj sveti laket razgalil v očeh vseh narodov in vsi konci zemlje bodo videli rešitev duš našega Boga.
11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from there, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
Odidite, odidite, pojdite ven od tod, ne dotikajte se nobene nečiste stvari, pojdite ven iz njene srede, bodite čisti vi, ki nosite Gospodove posode.
12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Kajti ven ne boste šli z naglico niti s pobegom, kajti Gospod bo šel pred vami in Izraelov Bog bo vaša zadnja straža.
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
Glejte, moj služabnik bo ravnal razsodno, povzdignjen bo, povišan in bo zelo visok.
14 As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Kakor so bili mnogi osupli nad teboj. Njegov videz je bil tako iznakažen, bolj kakor [od] kateregakoli človeka in njegova oblika bolj kakor od človeških sinov;
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
tako bo poškropil mnoge narode; kralji bodo zaprli svoja usta pred njim. Kajti to, kar jim ni bilo povedano, bodo videli, in česar niso slišali, bodo preudarjali.
