Esias 63
1 Who is this that is come from Edom, [with] red garments from Bosor? thus fair in his apparel, with mighty strength? I speak of righteousness and saving judgment.
»Kdo je ta, ki prihaja iz Edóma, s pobarvanimi oblekami iz Bocre? Ta, ki je veličasten v svojem oblačilu, potujoč v veličini svoje moči?« »Jaz, ki govorim v pravičnosti, močan, da rešim.«
2 Wherefore are thy garments red, and thy raiment as [if fresh] from a trodden winepress?
»Zakaj si rdeč v svojem oblačilu in so tvoje obleke podobne tistemu, ki tlači v vinski kadi?«
3 I am full of trodden [grape], and of the nations there is not a man with me; and I trampled them in my fury, and dashed them to pieces as earth, and brought down their blood to the earth.
Sam sem tlačil vinsko stiskalnico in izmed ljudstva ni bilo nikogar z menoj, kajti jaz jih bom pomendral v svoji jezi in jih poteptal v svoji razjarjenosti in njihova kri bo poškropljena na moje obleke in omadeževal si bom vse svoje oblačilo.
4 For the day of recompence has come upon them, and the year of redemption is at hand.
Kajti dan maščevanja je v mojem srcu in leto mojih odkupljenih je prišlo.
5 And I looked, and there was no helper; and I observed, and none upheld: therefore my arm delivered them, and mine anger drew nigh.
Pogledal sem in nikogar ni bilo, da pomaga in čudil sem se, da ni bilo nikogar, da podpre. Zato mi je moj lastni laket prinesel rešitev duše in moja razjarjenost me je podpirala.
6 And I trampled them in mine anger, and brought down their blood to the earth.
V svoji jezi bom pomendral ljudstvo in jih opijanil v svoji razjarjenosti in njihovo moč bom privedel dol do zemlje.
7 I remembered the mercy of the Lord, the praises of the Lord in all things wherein he recompenses us. The Lord is a good judge to the house of Israel; he deals with us according to his mercy, and according to the abundance of his righteousness.
Omenil bom Gospodove ljubeče skrbnosti in Gospodove hvalnice, glede na vse, kar je Gospod podelil na nas in veliko dobroto do Izraelove hiše, ki jo je podelil nanje, glede na njegova usmiljenja in glede na množino njegovih ljubečih skrbnosti.
8 And he said, Is it not my people? the children surely will not be rebellious: and he became to them deliverance
Kajti rekel je: »Zagotovo so moje ljudstvo, otroci, ki ne bodo lagali.« Tako je bil njihov Odrešenik.
9 out of all their affliction: not an ambassador, nor a messenger, but himself saved them, because he loved them and spared them: he himself redeemed them, and took them up, and lifted them up all the days of old.
V vsej njihovi stiski je bil stiskan in angel njegove prisotnosti jih je rešil. V svoji ljubezni in svojem usmiljenju jih je odkupil in nosil jih je in prenašal vse dni davnine.
10 But they disobeyed, and provoked his Holy Spirit: so he turned to be an enemy, he himself contended against them.
Toda uprli so se in jezili njegovega Svetega Duha, zato se je obrnil, da bi bil njihov sovražnik in se boril proti njim.
11 Then he remembered the ancient days, [saying], Where is he that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? where is he that put his Holy Spirit in them?
Potem se je spomnil dni davnine, Mojzesa in njegovega ljudstva, rekoč: »Kje je tisti, ki jih je s pastirjem svojega tropa privedel iz morja? Kje je tisti, ki je znotraj njega položil svojega Svetega Duha?
12 who led Moses with his right hand, the arm of his glory? he forced the water [to separate] from before him, to make himself an everlasting name.
Ki jih je vodil z Mojzesovo desnico, svojim veličastnim laktom, razdeljujoč vode pred njimi, da si naredi večno ime?
13 He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they fainted not,
Ki jih je vodil skozi globino kakor konja v divjini, da se ne bi spotaknili?
14 and as cattle through a plain: the Spirit came down from the Lord, and guided them: thus thou leddest thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
Kakor gre žival dol v dolino, mu je Gospodov Duh naklonil, da počiva. Tako si vodil svoje ljudstvo, da si narediš veličastno ime.
15 Turn from heaven, and look from thy holy habitation and [from] thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength? where is the abundance of thy mercy and of thy compassions, that thou hast withholden thyself from us?
Poglej dol iz nebes in glej iz prebivališča svoje svetosti in svoje slave. Kje je tvoja gorečnost in tvoja moč, odzvanjanje tvoje notranjosti in tvoja usmiljenja do mene? Ali so zadržana?
16 For thou art our Father; for [though] Abraham knew us not, and Israel did not acknowledge us, yet do thou, O Lord, our Father, deliver us: thy name has been upon us from the beginning.
Nedvomno si ti naš oče, čeprav je Abraham neveden o nas in nas Izrael ne prizna. Ti, oh Gospod, si naš oče, naš odkupitelj; tvoje ime je od vekomaj.
17 Why hast thou caused us to err, O Lord, from thy way? [and] has hardened our hearts, that we should not fear thee? Return for thy servants' sake, for the sake of the tribes of thine inheritance,
Oh Gospod, zakaj si nam povzročil, da zaidemo s tvojih poti in si naše srce zakrknil pred tvojim strahom? Vrni se zaradi svojih služabnikov, rodov svoje dediščine.
18 that we may inherit a small part of thy holy mountain.
Ljudstvo tvoje svetosti ga je imelo v lasti le kratek čas. Naši nasprotniki so pomendrali tvoje svetišče.
19 We are become as at the beginning, when thou didst not rule over us, and thy name was not called upon us.
Mi smo tvoji. Nikoli nisi vladal nad njimi; niso bili imenovani s tvojim imenom.
