Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that spoylest, and wast not spoyled: and doest wickedly, and they did not wickedly against thee: when thou shalt cease to spoyle, thou shalt be spoyled: when thou shalt make an ende of doing wickedly, they shall doe wickedly against thee.
Gorje tebi, ki pleniš, pa nisi bil oplenjen in postopaš zahrbtno, oni pa niso zahrbtno postopali s teboj! Ko boš prenehal pleniti, potem boš oplenjen in ko boš naredil konec zahrbtnemu postopanju, potem bodo zahrbtno postopali s teboj.
2 O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs, wee haue waited for thee: be thou, which waste their arme in the morning, our helpe also in time of trouble.
Oh Gospod, bodi nam milostljiv, pričakovali smo te. Vsako jutro bodi njihov laket, tudi naša rešitev duše v času stiske.
3 At the noise of the tumult, the people fled: at thine exalting the nations were scattered.
Ob hrupu upora je ljudstvo pobegnilo, ob tvojem vzdigovanju so bili narodi razkropljeni.
4 And your spoyle shall be gathered like the gathering of caterpillers: and he shall go against him like the leaping of grashoppers.
Vaš plen bo zbran kakor zbiranje gosenice, kakor tekanje leteče kobilice sem ter tja bo on tekel nad njimi.
5 The Lord is exalted: for hee dwelleth on hie: he hath filled Zion with iudgement and iustice.
Gospod je povišan, kajti prebiva na višavi. Sion je napolnil s sodbo in pravičnostjo.
6 And there shall be stabilitie of thy times, strength, saluation, wisdome and knowledge: for the feare of the Lord shalbe his treasure.
Modrost in spoznanje bosta stabilnost tvojih časov in moč rešitve duše. Gospodov strah je njegov zaklad.
7 Behold, their messengers shall cry without, and ye ambassadours of peace shall weepe bitterly.
Glej, njihovi hrabri bodo zunaj vreščali. Predstavniki miru bodo grenko jokali.
8 The pathes are waste: the wayfaring man ceaseth: hee hath broken the couenant: hee hath contemned the cities: he regarded no man.
Glavne ceste ležijo zapuščene, popotnik peša. Prelomil je zavezo, preziral mesta, ne ozira se na nobenega človeka.
9 The earth mourneth and fainteth: Lebanon is ashamed, and hewen downe: Sharon is like a wildernes, and Bashan is shaken and Carmel.
Zemlja žaluje in peša. Libanon je osramočen in posekan. Šarón je podoben divjini in Bašán ter Karmel otresata svoje sadove.
10 Now will I arise, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift vp my selfe.
»Sedaj bom vstal, « govori Gospod, »sedaj bom povišan, sedaj se bom dvignil.
11 Ye shall conceiue chaffe, and bring forth stubble: the fire of your breath shall deuoure you.
Spočeli boste pleve, rodili boste strnišče. Vaš dih vas bo pogoltnil kakor ogenj.
12 And the people shall be as the burning of lime: and as the thornes cut vp, shall they be burnt in the fire.
Ljudstvo bo kakor gorenje žganega apna, kakor posekano trnje bodo sežgani v ognju.
13 Heare, yee that are farre off, what I haue done, and ye that are neere, know my power.
Prisluhnite vi, ki ste daleč proč, kaj sem storil in vi, ki ste blizu, priznajte mojo moč.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraide: a feare is come vpon the hypocrites: who among vs shall dwel with the deuouring fire? who among vs shall dwell with the euerlasting burnings?
Grešniki na Sionu so prestrašeni, grozljivost je presenetila hinavce. Kdo izmed nas bo bival s požirajočim ognjem? Kdo izmed nas bo bival z večnimi gorenji?
15 Hee that walketh in iustice, and speaketh righteous things, refusing gaine of oppression, shaking his handes from taking of gifts, stopping his eares from hearing of blood, and shutting his eyes from seeing euill.
Kdor hodi pravično in govori iskreno, kdor prezira dobiček zatiranj, ki otresa svoji roki pred tem, da bi držal podkupnine, ki si ušesa zatiska pred poslušanjem o krvi in zatiska svoje oči pred gledanjem zla;
16 He shall dwell on hie: his defence shall be the munitions of rockes: bread shalbe giuen him, and his waters shalbe sure.
ta bo prebival na višavi. Njegov prostor obrambe bodo skalna oporišča. Dan mu bo kruh, njegove vode bodo zanesljive.
17 Thine eyes shall see the King in his glory: they shall beholde the lande farre off.
Tvoje oči bodo videle kralja v njegovi lepoti. Gledale bodo deželo, ki je zelo daleč proč.
18 Thine heart shall meditate feare, Where is the scribe? where is the receiuer? where is hee that counted the towres?
Tvoje srce bo premišljevalo strahoto. Kje je pisar? Kje je prejemnik? Kje je tisti, ki je štel stolpe?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a darke speache, that thou canst not perceiue, and of a stammering tongue that thou canst not vnderstande.
Ne boš videl krutega ljudstva, ljudstva globljega govora, kakor ga lahko zaznaš, jecljajočega jezika, ki ga ne moreš razumeti.
20 Looke vpon Zion the citie of our solemne feastes: thine eyes shall see Ierusalem a quiet habitation, a Tabernacle that can not be remooued: and the stakes thereof can neuer be taken away, neither shall any of the cordes thereof be broken.
Poglej na Sion, mesto naših slovesnosti. Tvoje oči bodo videle Jeruzalem, tiho prebivališče, šotor, ki ne bo porušen; niti eden izmed njegovih klinov ne bo nikoli odstranjen niti nobena izmed njegovih vrvi pretrgana.
21 For surely there the mightie Lord will be vnto vs, as a place of floods and broade riuers, whereby shall passe no shippe with oares, neither shall great shippe passe thereby.
Toda tam nam bo veličasten Gospod kraj širokih rek in vodotokov, kamor ne bo plula galeja z vesli niti čedna ladja ne bo plula mimo.
22 For the Lord is our Iudge, the Lord is our lawe giuer: the Lord is our King, he will saue vs.
Kajti Gospod je naš sodnik, Gospod je naš zakonodajalec, Gospod je naš kralj, on nas bo rešil.
23 Thy cordes are loosed: they could not well strengthen their maste, neither coulde they spread the saile: then shall the praye be deuided for a great spoile: yea, the lame shall take away the pray.
Tvoja ladijska oprema je odvezana; ne morejo dobro ojačati jambora, ne morejo razpeti jadra. Potem je plen velikega ukradenega blaga razdeljen; hromi pobira plen.
24 And none inhabitant shall say, I am sicke: the people that dwell therein, shall haue their iniquitie forgiuen.
Prebivalec ne bo rekel: »Bolan sem.« Ljudstvu, ki tam prebiva, bo odpuščena njihova krivičnost.
