Esias 26
1 In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
Na tisti dan bo ta pesem prepevana v Judovi deželi: »Imamo močno mesto; rešitev duše bo Bog določil za zidove in branike.
2 Open ye the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
Odprite velika vrata, da bo pravičen narod, ki varuje resnico, lahko vstopil.
3 supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on thee, O Lord,
Ohranil ga boš v popolnem miru, čigar um se zadržuje na tebi, ker on zaupa vate.
4 they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
Zaupajte v Gospoda na veke, kajti v Gospodu Jahveju je večna moč.
5 who hast humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, thou shalt cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
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 And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
Stopalo ga bo pomendralo, celó stopalo revnega in koraki pomoči potrebnih.«
7 The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
Pot pravičnih je poštenost. Ti, najpokončnejši, tehtaš stezo pravičnih.
8 For the way of the Lord is judgment: we have hoped in thy name, and on the remembrance [of thee],
Da, na poti tvojih sodb, oh Gospod, smo čakali nate; hrepenenje naše duše je k tvojemu imenu in k spominu nate.
9 which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks thee very early in the morning, O God, for thy commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, ye that dwell upon the earth.
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 For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not 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 O Lord, thine arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.
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 O Lord our God, give us peace: for thou hast rendered to us all things.
Gospod, ti nam hočeš določiti mir, kajti naredil si tudi vsa naša dela v nas.
13 O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside thee: we name thy name.
Oh Gospod, naš Bog, drugi gospodarji poleg tebe so imeli gospostvo nad nami, toda samo po tebi bomo naredili omembo tvojega imena.
14 But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore thou hast brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and hast taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
Mrtvi so, ne bodo živeli; preminuli so, ne bodo vstali. Zato si jih obiskal, uničil in storil, da ves spomin nanje izgine.
15 bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
Povečal si narod, oh Gospod, ti si povečal narod. Proslavljen si. Odstranil si ga daleč, k vsem koncem zemlje.
16 Lord, in affliction I remembered thee; thy chastening was to us with small affliction.
Gospod, v stiski so te obiskali, izlili so molitev, ko je bilo nad njimi tvoje karanje.
17 And as a woman in travail draws nigh to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to thy beloved.
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 conceived, O Lord, because of thy fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
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 The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from thee is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
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 Go, my people, enter into thy closets, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
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, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
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.
