Isaiah 26
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Iudah, We haue a strong citie: saluation shall God set for walles and bulwarkes.
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 that the righteous nation, which keepeth the trueth, may enter in.
Odprite velika vrata, da bo pravičen narod, ki varuje resnico, lahko vstopil.
3 By an assured purpose wilt thou preserue perfite peace, because they trusted in thee.
Ohranil ga boš v popolnem miru, čigar um se zadržuje na tebi, ker on zaupa vate.
4 Trust in the Lord for euer: for in the Lord God is strength for euermore.
Zaupajte v Gospoda na veke, kajti v Gospodu Jahveju je večna moč.
5 For hee will bring downe them that dwell on hie: the hie citie he will abase: euen vnto the ground wil he cast it downe, and bring it vnto 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 The foote shall treade it downe, euen the feete of the poore, and the steppes of the needie.
Stopalo ga bo pomendralo, celó stopalo revnega in koraki pomoči potrebnih.«
7 The way of the iust is righteousnesse: thou wilt make equall the righteous path of the iust.
Pot pravičnih je poštenost. Ti, najpokončnejši, tehtaš stezo pravičnih.
8 Also we, O Lord, haue waited for thee in the way of thy iudgemets: the desire of our soule is to thy Name, and to 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 With my soule haue I desired thee in the night, and with my spirit within mee will I seeke thee in the morning: for seeing thy iudgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learne righteousnesse.
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 Let mercie bee shewed to the wicked, yet hee will not learne righteousnesse: in the land of vprightnesse will he do wickedly, and will not beholde the maiestie 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, they will not beholde thine hie hande: but they shall see it, and bee confounded with the zeale of the people, and the fire of thine enemies shall deuoure them.
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, vnto vs thou wilt ordeine peace: for thou also hast wrought all our workes for vs.
Gospod, ti nam hočeš določiti mir, kajti naredil si tudi vsa naša dela v nas.
13 O Lord our God, other lords beside thee, haue ruled vs, but we will remember thee onely, and 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 The dead shall not liue, neither shall the dead arise, because thou hast visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memorie.
Mrtvi so, ne bodo živeli; preminuli so, ne bodo vstali. Zato si jih obiskal, uničil in storil, da ves spomin nanje izgine.
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord: thou hast increased the nation: thou art made glorious: thou hast enlarged all the coastes 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 trouble haue they visited thee: they powred out a prayer when thy chastening was vpon them.
Gospod, v stiski so te obiskali, izlili so molitev, ko je bilo nad njimi tvoje karanje.
17 Like as a woman with childe, that draweth neere to the trauaile, is in sorow, and cryeth in her paines, so haue we bene in thy sight, 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 haue coceiued, we haue borne in paine, as though we should haue brought forth winde: there was no helpe in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of the world 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 Thy dead men shall liue: euen with my body shall they rise. Awake, and sing, ye that dwel in dust: for thy dewe is as the dew of herbes, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
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: enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doores after thee: hide thy selfe for a very litle while, vntill the indignation passe ouer.
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 lo, the Lord commeth out of his place, to visite the iniquitie of the inhabitants of the earth vpon them: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more hide her slaine.
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.
