Isaiah 35

1 The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like the crocus.

Nek' se uzraduje pustinja, zemlja sasušena, neka kliče stepa, nek' ljiljan procvjeta.

2 It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon's glory Lebanon will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see Jehovah's glory, the excellence of our God.

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.

3 Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.

Ukrijepite ruke klonule, učvrstite koljena klecava!

4 Tell those who have a fearful heart, "Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look, your God will come with vengeance, God's retribution. He will come and save you.

Recite preplašenim srcima: “Budite jaki, ne bojte se! Evo Boga vašega, odmazda dolazi, Božja naplata, on sam hita da nas spasi!”

5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

Sljepačke će oči progledati, uši će se gluhih otvoriti,

6 Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.

tad će hromi skakati k'o jelen, njemakov će jezik klicati. Jer će u pustinji provreti voda, i u stepi potoci,

7 The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.

sažgana će zemlja postat' jezero, a tlo žedno - izvori. U brlozima gdje ležahu čaglji izrast će rogoz i trska.

8 And a highway will be there, and it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.

Bit će ondje čista cesta, a zvat će se Sveti put: nitko nečist njime neće proći, bezumnici njime neće lutati.

9 No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous animal go up on it. They will not be found there; but the redeemed will walk there.

Ondje neće više biti lÓava, nit' će onud zvijer prolaziti, već će hodit' samo otkupljeni,

10 Jehovah's ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away."

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.
