Isaiah 51
1 “Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were hewn.
Prisluhnite mi, vi, ki sledite pravičnosti, vi, ki iščete Gospoda. Glejte na skalo, iz katere ste izklesani in k luknji jame, iz katere ste izkopani.
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who gave you birth. When I called him, he was but one; then I blessed him and multiplied him.
Poglejte na Abrahama, svojega očeta in na Saro, ki vas je rodila. Kajti poklical sem ga samega, ga blagoslovil in namnožil.
3 For the LORD will comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and melodious song.
Kajti Gospod bo tolažil Sion, tolažil bo vse njegove opustošene kraje in njegovo divjino bo naredil podobno Edenu in njegovo puščavo podobno Gospodovemu vrtu. V njem bo najti radost in veselje, zahvaljevanje in glas melodije.
4 Pay attention to Me, My people, and listen to Me, My nation; for a law will go out from Me, and My justice will become a light to the nations; I will bring it about quickly.
Prisluhni mi, moje ljudstvo; pazljivo mi prisluhni, oh moj narod. Kajti postava bo izšla od mene in svojo sodbo bom naredil, da počiva za svetlobo ljudstvu.
5 My righteousness draws near, My salvation is on the way, and My arms will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look for Me and wait in hope for My arm.
Moja pravičnost je blizu, moja rešitev duš je odšla naprej in moji lakti bodo sodili ljudstvo; otoki bodo čakali name in v moj laket bodo zaupali.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die like gnats. But My salvation will last forever, and My righteousness will never fail.
Povzdignite svoje oči k nebu in poglejte dol na zemljo spodaj, kajti nebo bo izginilo proč kakor dim in zemlja se bo postarala kakor obleka in tisti, ki prebivajo na njej, bodo umrli na podoben način, toda moja rešitev duš bo večna in moja pravičnost ne bo odpravljena.
7 Listen to Me, you who know what is right, you people with My law in your hearts: Do not fear the scorn of men; do not be broken by their insults.
Prisluhnite mi vi, ki poznate pravičnost, ljudstvo, v čigar srcu je moja postava. Ne bojte se graje ljudi niti ne bodite prestrašeni ob njihovih zasramovanjih.
8 For the moth will devour them like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will last forever, My salvation through all generations.”
Kajti molj jih bo pojedel kakor obleko in ličinka jih bo pojedla kakor volno, toda moja pravičnost bo na veke in moja rešitev duš od roda do roda.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the dragon?
Zbudi se, zbudi se, nadeni si moč, oh Gospodov laket. Zbudi se kakor v starodavnih dneh in rodovih od davnine. Mar nisi ti tisti, ki je posekal Rahaba in ranil zmaja?
10 Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?
Mar nisi ti tisti, ki je osušil morje, vode velike globine, ki je globine morja spremenil v pot za odkupljene, da so prešli?
11 So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
Zato se bodo Gospodovi odkupljenci vrnili in s petjem prišli na Sion in večna radost bo na njihovi glavi. Dosegli bodo veselje in radost, bridkost in žalovanje pa bosta pobegnila.
12 “I, even I, am He who comforts you. Why should you be afraid of mortal man, of a son of man who withers like grass?
Jaz, celó jaz sem ta, ki vas tolaži. Kdo si ti, da bi se bal človeka, ki bo umrl in človeškega sina, ki bo narejen kot trava,
13 But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. You live in terror all day long because of the fury of the oppressor who is bent on destruction. But where is the fury of the oppressor?
pozabljaš pa Gospoda, svojega stvarnika, ki je razprostrl nebo in položil temelje zemlji in si se nenehno vsak dan bal zaradi razjarjenosti zatiralca, kakor če bi bil ta pripravljen, da uniči? In kje je zatiralčeva razjarjenost?
14 The captive will soon be freed; he will not die in the dungeon, and his bread will not be lacking.
Ujeti popotnik hiti, da bi bil lahko izpuščen in da ne bi umrl v jami niti da njegovega kruha ne bi zmanjkalo.
15 For I am the LORD your God who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD of Hosts is His name.
Toda jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki je razdelil morje, katerega valovi rjovijo: » Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.«
16 I have put My words in your mouth, and covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
Svoje besede sem položil v tvoja usta in te zakril v senco svoje roke, da lahko zasadim nebo in položim temelje zemlji in rečem Sionu: ›Ti si moje ljudstvo.‹
17 Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; you who have drained the goblet to the dregs— the cup that makes men stagger.
Zbudi se, zbudi se, vstani, oh [prestolnica] Jeruzalem, ki si pila pri Gospodovi roki čašo njegove razjarjenosti. Pila si droži iz čaše trepetanja in jih posrebala.
18 Among all the sons she bore, there is no one to guide her; among all the sons she brought up, there is no one to take her hand.
Nikogar ni, da jo usmerja med vsemi sinovi, ki jih je rodila niti ni nikogar izmed njenih sinov, ki jih je vzgojila, da jo prime za roko.
19 These pairs have befallen you: devastation and destruction, famine and sword. Who will grieve for you? Who can comfort you?
Ti dve stvari sta prišli nadte; komu bo žal zate? Opustošenje, poguba, lakota in meč. Po kom te bom potolažil?
20 Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of every street, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
Tvoji sinovi so oslabeli, ležijo na vrhu vseh ulic, kakor divji bik v mreži. Polni so Gospodove razjarjenosti, graje tvojega Boga.
21 Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one, drunken, but not with wine.
Zato poslušaj sedaj to, ti trpeča in pijana, toda ne z vinom.
22 Thus says your Lord, the LORD, even your God, who defends His people: “See, I have removed from your hand the cup of staggering. From that goblet, the cup of My fury, you will never drink again.
Tako govori tvoj Gospod, Gospod in tvoj Bog, ki se poteguje za stvar svojega ljudstva: »Glej, iz tvoje roke sem vzel čašo trepetanja, celó droži iz čaše svoje razjarjenosti. Ne boš je več ponovno pila,
23 I will place it in the hands of your tormentors, who told you: ‘Lie down, so we can walk over you,’ so that you made your back like the ground, like a street to be traversed.”
temveč jo bom položil v roko tistih, ki te stiskajo, ki so tvoji duši rekli: ›Skloni se, da lahko gremo preko‹ in svoje telo si položila kakor tla in kakor ulico tistim, ki so šli preko.
