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.

For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.

2 Pogani bodo videli tvojo pravičnost in vsi kralji tvojo slavo in imenovana boš z novim imenom, ki ga bodo poimenovala Gospodova usta.

And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory. And thou shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name.

3 Krona slave boš v Gospodovi roki in kraljevski diadem v roki svojega Boga.

Thou shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

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.

Thou shall no more be termed Forsaken, nor shall thy land any more be termed Desolate. But thou shall be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah, for Jehovah delights in thee, and thy land shall be married.

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.

For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee. And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

6 Postavil sem stražarje na tvoja obzidja, oh Jeruzalem, ki niti podnevi niti ponoči ne bodo nikoli mirovali. Vi, ki omenjate Gospoda, ne molčite

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem. They shall never keep silent day nor night. Ye who are Jehovah's reminders, take ye no rest,

7 in njemu ne dajajte nobenega počitka, dokler ne osnuje in dokler ne naredi [prestolnice] Jeruzalem [za] hvalo na zemlji.

and give him no rest, till he establishes, and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

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,

Jehovah has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies, and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou have labored.

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.

But those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah. And those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.

10 Pojdite skozi, pojdite skozi velika vrata, pripravite pot ljudstvu, nasujte, nasujte glavno cesto, poberite kamne, dvignite prapor za ljudstvo.

Go through, go through the gates. Prepare ye the way of the people. Cast up, cast up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up an ensign for the peoples.

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.‹«

Behold, Jehovah has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

12 Klicali jih bodo Sveto ljudstvo, Odkupljeni od Gospoda in ti boš imenovana ›Poiskana, ‹ ›Mesto, ki ni zapuščeno.‹

And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah. And thou shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
