Isaiah 24
1 See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.
Glej, Gospod prazni zemljo in jo pustoši in jo prevrača in razpršuje njene prebivalce.
2 And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.
Zgodilo se bo, kakor z ljudstvom, tako z duhovnikom; kakor s služabnikom, tako z njegovim gospodarjem; kakor s služabnico, tako z njeno gospodarico; kakor s kupcem, tako s prodajalcem; kakor s tistim, ki posoja, tako z izposojevalcem; kakor z jemalcem obresti, tako s tistim, ki mu daje obresti.
3 The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.
Dežela bo popolnoma izpraznjena in popolnoma oplenjena, kajti Gospod je spregovoril to besedo.
4 The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.
Zemlja žaluje in bledi, zemeljski [krog] peša in bledi, ošabno ljudstvo zemlje peša.
5 The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.
Tudi zemlja je omadeževana pod njenimi prebivalci, ker so prekršili postave, spremenili odredbo, prelomili večno zavezo.
6 For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.
Zato je prekletstvo požrlo zemljo in tisti, ki prebivajo na njej, so zapuščeni. Zato so prebivalci zemlje požgani in ostalo je le malo mož.
7 The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.
Novo vino žaluje, trta peša, vsi veselo–srčni vzdihujejo.
8 The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.
Veselje bobničev pojenjuje, hrup tistih, ki se veselijo, se končuje, radost harfe pojenjuje.
9 There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.
Vina ne bodo pili s pesmijo; močna pijača bo grenka tistim, ki jo pijejo.
10 The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.
Mesto zmešnjave je zlomljeno. Vsaka hiša je zaprta, da noben človek ne more vstopiti.
11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.
Tam je na ulicah jokanje zaradi vina; vsa radost je otemnela, veselje dežele je odšlo.
12 In the town all is waste, and in the public place is destruction.
V mestu je ostalo opustošenje in velika vrata so udarjena z uničenjem.
13 For it will be in the heart of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive-tree, as the last of the grapes after the getting-in is done.
Ko bo tako v sredi dežele med ljudstvom, bo tam kakor otresanje oljke in kakor paberkovanje grozdov, ko je trgatev končana.
14 But those will be making sounds of joy; they will be crying loudly from the sea for the glory of the Lord.
Povzdignili bodo svoj glas, peli bodo zaradi Gospodovega veličanstva, glasno bodo klicali od morja.
15 Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.
Zatorej proslavljajte Gospoda v ognjih, celó ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, na morskih otokih.
16 From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.
Od skrajnih delov zemlje smo slišali pesmi, celó slavo k pravičnemu. Toda rekel sem: »Moja pustost, moja pustost, gorje meni! Zahrbtneži so postopali zahrbtno; da, zahrbtneži so postopali zelo zahrbtno.«
17 Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.
Strah, jama in zanka so nad teboj, oh prebivalec zemlje.
18 And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.
Zgodilo se bo, da kdor pobegne pred hrupom strahu, bo padel v jamo; in kdor prihaja gor iz srede jame, bo ujet v zanko, kajti okna od zgoraj so odprta in temelji zemlje se tresejo.
19 The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
Zemlja je popolnoma razrušena, zemlja je čisto raztopljena, zemlja je silno premaknjena.
20 The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.
Zemlja se bo opotekala sem ter tja kakor pijanec in odstranjena bo kakor koča in njen prestopek bo težak nad njo in ta bo padla in ne bo ponovno vstala.
21 And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo Gospod kaznoval vojsko vzvišenih, ki so na višavi in zemeljske kralje na zemlji.
22 And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.
Zbrani bodo skupaj, kakor so jetniki zbrani v jami in zaprti bodo v ječi in po mnogih dneh bodo obiskani.
23 Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.
Potem bo luna zbegana in sonce osramočeno, ko bo Gospod nad bojevniki veličastno kraljeval na gori Sion in v Jeruzalemu in pred njegovimi starci.
