¹The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

¹Veselila se bosta puščava in samotni kraj, in radovala se bo pustinja in cvela kakor roža.

²It 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.

²Prekrasno bo cvela in se radovala v samem radovanju in petju; slava libanonska ji bo dana, lepota Karmela in Sarona. Gledali bodo slavo GOSPODOVO, lepoto Boga našega.

³Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

³Pokrepčajte onemogle roke in šibeča se kolena utrdite!

⁴Say 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.

⁴Recite njim, ki so plašljivega srca: Srčni bodite, ne bojte se! Glejte, Bog vaš se bliža, maščevanje prihaja, povračilo Božje; on sam pride rešit vas!

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

⁵Tedaj izpregledajo oči slepim in gluhim se odpro ušesa.

⁶Then 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.

⁶Tedaj bo hromec skakal kakor jelen in nemega jezik bo prepeval; zakaj privrele so v puščavi vode in potoki v samoti.

⁷And 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.

⁷Peščeno zrcaljenje se je izpremenilo v jezero in žejna tla v vrelce vodá; v brlogu šakalov, kjer leže, bode trava s trstjem in bičjem.

⁸And 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.

⁸In bode tam cesta in pot, ki se bo imenovala Pot svetosti, po kateri ne bo hodil oskrunjeni, temuč bode zanje same; kdor hodi po tej poti, tudi nespametni, ne more zaiti.

⁹No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

⁹Tam ne bode leva in nobena zver silovita ne pride nanjo in je ne bode najti tam; a odrešenci pojdejo po njej.In odrešenci GOSPODOVI se povrnejo ter pridejo na Sion s petjem, in večno veselje bode nad njih glavo; veselje in radost jih objame, a žalovanje in zdihovanje pobegne.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰In odrešenci GOSPODOVI se povrnejo ter pridejo na Sion s petjem, in večno veselje bode nad njih glavo; veselje in radost jih objame, a žalovanje in zdihovanje pobegne.
