Izaija 52
1 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.
Arise, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised, and unclean shall no more pass through thee.
2 Otresi si prah, vstani in usedi se, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, odveži si vezi iz svojega vratu, oh ujeta hči sionska.
Shake thyself from the dust, arise, sit up, O Jerusalem: loose the bonds from off thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion.
3 Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Prodali ste se za nič in odkupljeni boste brez denarja.‹
For thus saith the Lord: You were sold gratis, and you shall be redeemed without money.
4 Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Moje ljudstvo je poprej šlo dol v Egipt, da začasno prebiva tam in Asirec jih je zatiral brez vzroka.
For thus saith the Lord God: My people went down into Egypt at the beginning to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without any cause at all.
5 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.
And now what have I here, saith the Lord: for my people is taken away gratis. They that rule over them treat them unjustly, saith the Lord, and my name is continually blasphemed all the day long.
6 Zato bo moje ljudstvo spoznalo moje ime, zato bodo na tisti dan vedeli, da jaz sem tisti, ki govori. Glejte, jaz sem.
Therefore my people shall know my name in that day: for I myself that spoke, behold I am here.
7 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!‹
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: of him that sheweth forth good, that preacheth salvation, that saith to Sion: Thy God shall reign!
8 Tvoji stražarji bodo povzdignili glas, z glasom bodo skupaj peli, kajti videli bodo iz oči v oči, ko bo Gospod ponovno privedel Sion.
The voice of thy watchmen: they have lifted up their voice, they shall praise together: for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall convert Sion.
9 Izbruhnite v radost, skupaj prepevajte, vi opustošeni kraji [prestolnice] Jeruzalem, kajti Gospod je potolažil svoje ljudstvo, odkupil je [prestolnico] Jeruzalem.
Rejoice, and give praise together, O ye deserts of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Gospod je svoj sveti laket razgalil v očeh vseh narodov in vsi konci zemlje bodo videli rešitev duš našega Boga.
The Lord hath prepared his holy arm in the sight of all the Gentiles: and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11 Odidite, odidite, pojdite ven od tod, ne dotikajte se nobene nečiste stvari, pojdite ven iz njene srede, bodite čisti vi, ki nosite Gospodove posode.
Depart, depart, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing: go out of the midst of her, be ye clean, you that carry the vessels of the Lord.
12 Kajti ven ne boste šli z naglico niti s pobegom, kajti Gospod bo šel pred vami in Izraelov Bog bo vaša zadnja straža.
For you shall not go out in a tumult, neither shall you make haste by flight: For the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together.
13 Glejte, moj služabnik bo ravnal razsodno, povzdignjen bo, povišan in bo zelo visok.
Behold my servant shall understand, he shall be exalted, and extolled, and shall be exceeding high.
14 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;
As many have been astonished at thee, so shall his visage be inglorious among men, and his form among the sons of men.
15 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.
He shall sprinkle many nations, kings shall shut their mouth at him: for they to whom it was not told of him, have seen: and they that heard not, have beheld.
