Isaiah 35

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.

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.

Ukrijepite ruke klonule, učvrstite koljena klecava!

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.
