Izaija 35
1 Nek' se uzraduje pustinja, zemlja sasušena, neka kliče stepa, nek' ljiljan procvjeta.
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2 Nek' bujno cvatom cvate, da, neka od veselja kliče i nek' se raduje. Dana joj je slava Libanona, divota Karmela i Šarona; oni će vidjeti slavu Jahvinu, divotu Boga našega.
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [and] the excellency of our God.
3 Ukrijepite ruke klonule, učvrstite koljena klecava!
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
4 Recite preplašenim srcima: “Budite jaki, ne bojte se! Evo Boga vašega, odmazda dolazi, Božja naplata, on sam hita da nas spasi!”
Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a recompence; he will come and save you.
5 Sljepačke će oči progledati, uši će se gluhih otvoriti,
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 tad će hromi skakati k'o jelen, njemakov će jezik klicati. Jer će u pustinji provreti voda, i u stepi potoci,
Then shall the lame [man] leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
7 sažgana će zemlja postat' jezero, a tlo žedno - izvori. U brlozima gdje ležahu čaglji izrast će rogoz i trska.
And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, [shall be] grass with reeds and rushes.
8 Bit će ondje čista cesta, a zvat će se Sveti put: nitko nečist njime neće proći, bezumnici njime neće lutati.
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it [shall be] for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err [therein].
9 Ondje neće više biti lÓava, nit' će onud zvijer prolaziti, već će hodit' samo otkupljeni,
No lion shall be there, nor [any] ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there: ]
10 vraćati se otkupljenici Jahvini. Doći će u Sion kličuć' od radosti, s veseljem vječnim na čelima; pratit će ih radost i veselje, pobjeći će bol i jauci.
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
