Isaiah 35

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Let the desert and the dry lands be glad, let the wasteland rejoice and bloom; like the asphodel,	1 Nek’ se uzraduje pustinja, zemlja sasušena, neka kliče stepa, nek’ ljiljan procvjeta.
2 let it burst into flower, let it rejoice and sing for joy. The glory of Lebanon is bestowed on it, thesplendour of Carmel and Sharon; then they wil see the glory of Yahweh, the splendour of our God.	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.
3 Strengthen al weary hands, steady al trembling knees	3 Ukrijepite ruke klonule, učvrstite koljena klecava!
4 and say to the faint-hearted, 'Be strong! Do not be afraid. Here is your God, vengeance is coming,divine retribution; he is coming to save you.'	4 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 wil be opened, the ears of the deaf unsealed,	5 Sljepačke će oči progledati, uši će se gluhih otvoriti,
6 then the lame will leap like a deer and the tongue of the dumb sing for joy; for water wil gush in thedesert and streams in the wastelands,	6 tad će hromi skakati k’o jelen, njemakov će jezik klicati. Jer će u pustinji provreti voda, i u stepi potoci,
7 the parched ground wil become a marsh and the thirsty land springs of water; the lairs where thejackals used to live wil become plots of reed and papyrus.	7 sažgana će zemlja postat’ jezero, a tlo žedno – izvori. U brlozima gdje ležahu čaglji izrast će rogoz i trska.
8 And through it wil run a road for them and a highway which will be cal ed the Sacred Way; the uncleanwil not be al owed to use it; He wil be the one to use this road, the fool will not stray along it.	8 Bit će ondje čista cesta, a zvat će se sveti put: nitko nečist njime neće proći, bezumnici njime neće lutati.
9 No lion wil be there, no ferocious beast set foot on it, nothing of the sort be found; it will be used by theredeemed.	9 Ondje neće više biti lava, nit’ će onud zvijer prolaziti, već će hodit’ samo otkupljeni,
10 For those whom Yahweh has ransomed wil return, they will come to Zion shouting for joy, their headscrowned with joy unending; rejoicing and gladness wil escort them and sorrow and sighing wil take flight.	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.
