Isaiah 26
1 In that day will this song be made in the land of Judah: We have a strong town; he will make salvation our walls and towers.
Na tisti dan bo ta pesem prepevana v Judovi deželi: »Imamo močno mesto; rešitev duše bo Bog določil za zidove in branike.
2 Let the doors be open, so that the upright nation which keeps faith may come in.
Odprite velika vrata, da bo pravičen narod, ki varuje resnico, lahko vstopil.
3 The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.
Ohranil ga boš v popolnem miru, čigar um se zadržuje na tebi, ker on zaupa vate.
4 Let your hope be in the Lord for ever: for the Lord Jah is an unchanging Rock.
Zaupajte v Gospoda na veke, kajti v Gospodu Jahveju je večna moč.
5 For he has made low those who are lifted up, all the people of the town of pride: he makes it low, crushing it down to the earth; he makes it low in the dust.
Kajti on poniža tiste, ki prebivajo na višavi; vzvišeno mesto, polaga ga nizko, polaga ga nizko, celó k tlom; prinaša ga celo k prahu.
6 It will be crushed under the feet of the poor and the steps of those who are in need.
Stopalo ga bo pomendralo, celó stopalo revnega in koraki pomoči potrebnih.«
7 The way of the good man is straight; the road of the upright is made smooth by you.
Pot pravičnih je poštenost. Ti, najpokončnejši, tehtaš stezo pravičnih.
8 We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.
Da, na poti tvojih sodb, oh Gospod, smo čakali nate; hrepenenje naše duše je k tvojemu imenu in k spominu nate.
9 In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.
S svojo dušo sem te želel ponoči; da, s svojim duhom znotraj sebe te bom iskal zgodaj, kajti ko so tvoje sodbe na zemlji, se bodo prebivalci zemeljskega [kroga] učili pravičnosti.
10 Even if you are kind to the evil-doer, he will not go after righteousness; even in the land of the upright he will still go on in his wrongdoing, and will not see the glory of the Lord.
Naj bo naklonjenost pokazana zlobnemu, vendar se ne bo naučil pravičnosti. V deželi poštenosti bo ravnal nepravično in ne bo gledal Gospodovega veličanstva.
11 Lord, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see: let them see ... yes, your haters will be burned up in the fire.
Gospod, kadar je tvoja roka dvignjena, ne bodo videli. Toda videli bodo in bodo osramočeni zaradi svoje zavisti nad ljudstvom; da, požrl jih bo ogenj tvojih sovražnikov.
12 Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose.
Gospod, ti nam hočeš določiti mir, kajti naredil si tudi vsa naša dela v nas.
13 O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.
Oh Gospod, naš Bog, drugi gospodarji poleg tebe so imeli gospostvo nad nami, toda samo po tebi bomo naredili omembo tvojega imena.
14 The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.
Mrtvi so, ne bodo živeli; preminuli so, ne bodo vstali. Zato si jih obiskal, uničil in storil, da ves spomin nanje izgine.
15 You have made the nation great, O Lord, you have made it great; glory is yours: you have made wide the limits of the land.
Povečal si narod, oh Gospod, ti si povečal narod. Proslavljen si. Odstranil si ga daleč, k vsem koncem zemlje.
16 Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.
Gospod, v stiski so te obiskali, izlili so molitev, ko je bilo nad njimi tvoje karanje.
17 As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.
Kakor je nosečnica, ko se približuje čas njenega poroda, v bolečini in vpije v svojih ostrih bolečinah, tako smo bili mi v tvojem pogledu, oh Gospod.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.
Bili smo z otrokom, bili smo v bolečini, tako smo, kakor bi rodili veter; na zemlji nismo dosegli nobene osvoboditve; niti prebivalci zemeljskega [kroga] niso padli.
19 Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.
Tvoji mrtvi možje bodo živeli, skupaj z mojim truplom bodo vstali. Zbudite se in pojte, vi, ki prebivate v prahu, kajti tvoja rosa je kakor rosa zelišč in zemlja bo izvrgla mrtve.
20 Come, my people, into your secret places, and let your doors be shut: keep yourself safe for a short time, till his wrath is over.
Pridite, moje ljudstvo, vstopite v svoje sobe in zaprite svoja vrata naokoli sebe. Skrijte se, kakor bi bilo za kratek trenutek, dokler ne bo ogorčenje minilo.
21 For the Lord is coming out of his place to send punishment on the people of the earth for their evil-doing: the earth will let the blood drained out on her be seen, and will keep her dead covered no longer.
Kajti, glejte, Gospod prihaja iz svojega kraja, da kaznuje prebivalce zemlje zaradi njihove krivičnosti. Tudi zemlja bo razkrila svojo kri in ne bo več pokrivala svojih umorjenih.
