< Isaiah 1 >

1 A vision of Isaiah, the sonne of Amoz, which he sawe concerning Iudah and Ierusalem: in the dayes of Vzziah, Iotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah.
Videnje Amócovega sina Izaija, ki ga je videl glede Juda in Jeruzalema v dneh Uzíjaha, Jotáma, Aháza in Ezekíja, Judovih kraljev.
2 Heare, O heauens, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord hath sayde, I haue nourished and brought vp children, but they haue rebelled against me.
Prisluhnite, oh nebesa in pazljivo prisluhni, oh zemlja, kajti Gospod je spregovoril: »Hranil in vzgojil sem otroke, oni pa so se uprli zoper mene.
3 The oxe knoweth his owner, and the asse his masters crib: but Israel hath not knowen: my people hath not vnderstand.
Vol pozna svojega lastnika in osel jasli svojega gospodarja, toda Izrael ne pozna, moje ljudstvo ne preudari.
4 Ah, sinfull nation, a people laden with iniquitie: a seede of the wicked, corrupt children: they haue forsaken the Lord: they haue prouoked the holy one of Israel to anger: they are gone backewarde.
Ah, grešen narod, ljudstvo, obloženo s krivičnostjo, seme hudodelcev, otroci, ki so izprijenci. Zapustili so Gospoda, izzivali so Svetega Izraelovega k jezi, odvrnili so se nazaj.
5 Wherefore shoulde ye be smitten any more? for ye fall away more and more: the whole head is sicke, and the whole heart is heauie.
Zakaj naj bi bili še udarjani? Spuntali se boste bolj in bolj. Celotna glava je bolna in celotno srce slabi.
6 From the sole of the foote vnto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds, and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they haue not bene wrapped, nor bound vp, nor mollified with oyle.
Od podplata stopala celo do glave ni zdravja na njem, temveč rane, modrice in gnojne rane; te niso bile zaprte niti obvezane niti ublažene z mazilom.
7 Your land is waste: your cities are burnt with fire: strangers deuoure your lande in your presence, and it is desolate like the ouerthrowe of strangers.
Vaša dežela je zapuščena, vaša mesta so požgana z ognjem. Vaša dežela, tujci jo požirajo v vaši prisotnosti in ta je zapuščena, kakor premagana s tujci.
8 And the daughter of Zion shall remaine like a cotage in a vineyarde, like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and like a besieged citie.
Hči sionska je ostala kakor koča v vinogradu, kakor lopa na kumaričnem vrtu, kakor oblegano mesto.«
9 Except the Lord of hostes had reserued vnto vs, euen a small remnant: we should haue bene as Sodom, and should haue bene like vnto Gomorah.
Razen, če nam Gospod nad bojevniki ne bi pustil zelo majhnega ostanka, bi bili kakor Sódoma in podobni bi bili Gomóri.
10 Heare the worde of the Lord, O princes of Sodom: hearken vnto the Law of our God, O people of Gomorah.
Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi sódomski vladarji, pazljivo prisluhnite postavi našega Boga, ljudstvo gomórsko.
11 What haue I to doe with the multitude of your sacrifices, sayth the Lord? I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and of the fat of fed beasts: and I desire not the blood of bullocks, nor of lambs, nor of goates.
»Za kakšen namen mi je množica vaših klavnih daritev?« govori Gospod: »Sit sem žgalnih daritev ovnov in tolšče pitanih živali in ne razveseljujem se v krvi bikcev ali jagnjet ali kozlov.
12 When ye come to appeare before me, who required this of your hands to tread in my courts?
Ko prihajate, da se pojavite pred menoj, kdo je to zahteval iz vaše roke, da teptate moje dvore?
13 Bring no more oblations, in vaine: incense is an abomination vnto me: I can not suffer your newe moones, nor Sabbaths, nor solemne dayes (it is iniquitie) nor solemne assemblies.
Ne prinašajte več praznih daritev; kadilo mi je ogabnost. Mlajev in šabat, sklicevanja zborov ne morem prenašati; to je krivičnost, celo slovesno srečanje.
14 My soule hateth your newe moones and your appointed feastes: they are a burden vnto me: I am weary to beare them.
Vaše mlaje in vaše določene praznike sovraži moja duša. Le-ti so mi obremenitev, naveličal sem se jih prenašati.
15 And when you shall stretch out your hands, I wil hide mine eyes from you: and though ye make many prayers, I wil not heare: for your hands are full of blood.
Ko svoje roke iztezate naprej, bom pred vami skril svoje oči. Da, ko opravljate številne molitve, ne bom poslušal. Vaše roke so polne krvi.
16 Wash you, make you cleane: take away the euill of your workes from before mine eyes: cease to doe euill.
Umijte se, očistite se. Odstranite zlo svojih dejanj izpred mojih oči, prenehajte početi zlo.
17 Learne to doe well: seeke iudgement, relieue the oppressed: iudge the fatherlesse and defend the widowe.
Naučite se delati dobro, iščite sodbo, olajšajte zatirane, sodite osirotele, potegujte se za vdovo.
18 Come nowe, and let vs reason together, sayth the Lord: though your sinnes were as crimsin, they shalbe made white as snowe: though they were red like skarlet, they shalbe as wooll.
Pridite torej in skupaj preudarimo, « govori Gospod, »čeprav bi bili vaši grehi kakor škrlat, bodo tako beli kakor sneg; čeprav bi bili rdeči, podobni škrlatnemu [črvu], bodo kakor volna.
19 If ye consent and obey, ye shall eate the good things of the land.
Če boste voljni in poslušni, boste jedli dobro od dežele.
20 But if ye refuse and be rebellious, ye shalbe deuoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Toda če odklonite in se uprete, boste požrti z mečem, kajti Gospodova usta so to govorila.
21 Howe is the faithfull citie become an harlot? it was full of iudgement, and iustice lodged therein, but now they are murtherers.
Kako je zvesto mesto postalo pocestnica! Bila je polna sodbe, pravičnost je bila nastanjena v njej, toda sedaj morilci.
22 Thy siluer is become drosse: thy wine is mixt with water.
Tvoje srebro je postalo žlindra, tvoje vino pomešano z vodo,
23 Thy Princes are rebellious and companions of theeues: euery one loueth giftes, and followeth after rewards: they iudge not the fatherlesse, neither doeth the widowes cause come before them.
tvoji princi so uporni in družabniki tatov. Vsakdo izmed njih ljubi darila in sledi podkupninam. Osirotelega ne branijo niti pravda vdov ne pride k njim.«
24 Therefore sayth the Lord God of hostes, the mightie one of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine aduersaries, and auenge me of mine enemies.
Zato govori Gospod, Gospod nad bojevniki, Mogočni Izraelov: »Ah, žal mi bo mojih nasprotnikov in maščeval se bom nad svojimi sovražniki
25 Then I will turne mine hand vpon thee, and burne out thy drosse, till it be pure, and take away all thy tinne.
in svojo roko bom obrnil nadte in z lugom temeljito očistil proč tvojo žlindro in odvzel ves tvoj kositer
26 And I will restore thy iudges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward shalt thou be called a citie of righteousnes, and a faithfull citie.
in povrnil bom tvoje sodnike kakor poprej in tvoje svetovalce, kakor na začetku. Potem boš imenovana: ›Mesto pravičnosti, zvesto mesto.‹
27 Zion shall be redeemed in iudgement, and they that returne in her, in iustice.
Sion bo odkupljen s sodbo in njegovi spreobrnjenci s pravičnostjo.
28 And the destruction of the transgressers and of the sinners shalbe together: and they that forsake the Lord, shalbe consumed.
Uničenje prestopnikov in grešnikov bo hkratno in tisti, ki zapustijo Gospoda, bodo použiti.
29 For they shalbe confounded for the okes, which ye haue desired, and ye shall be ashamed of the gardens, that ye haue chosen.
Kajti sramovali se bodo hrastov, ki ste jih želeli in zbegani boste zaradi vrtov, ki ste jih izbrali.
30 For ye shalbe as an oke, whose leafe fadeth: and as a garden that hath no water.
Kajti vi boste kakor hrast, čigar list oveni in kakor vrt, ki nima vode.
31 And the strong shall be as towe, and the maker thereof, as a sparke: and they shall both burne together, and none shall quench them.
Močni bo kakor predivo in njegov izdelovalec kakor iskra in skupaj bosta sežgana in nihče ju ne bo pogasil.«
