Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
Glej, Gospod prazni zemljo in jo pustoši in jo prevrača in razpršuje njene prebivalce.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
Zgodilo se bo, kakor z ljudstvom, tako z duhovnikom; kakor s služabnikom, tako z njegovim gospodarjem; kakor s služabnico, tako z njeno gospodarico; kakor s kupcem, tako s prodajalcem; kakor s tistim, ki posoja, tako z izposojevalcem; kakor z jemalcem obresti, tako s tistim, ki mu daje obresti.
3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and clean despoiled; for the LORD hath spoken this word.
Dežela bo popolnoma izpraznjena in popolnoma oplenjena, kajti Gospod je spregovoril to besedo.
4 The earth fainteth and fadeth away, the world faileth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do fail.
Zemlja žaluje in bledi, zemeljski [krog] peša in bledi, ošabno ljudstvo zemlje peša.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
Tudi zemlja je omadeževana pod njenimi prebivalci, ker so prekršili postave, spremenili odredbo, prelomili večno zavezo.
6 Therefore hath a curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth waste away, and men are left few.
Zato je prekletstvo požrlo zemljo in tisti, ki prebivajo na njej, so zapuščeni. Zato so prebivalci zemlje požgani in ostalo je le malo mož.
7 The new wine faileth, the vine fadeth; all the merry-hearted do sigh.
Novo vino žaluje, trta peša, vsi veselo–srčni vzdihujejo.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
Veselje bobničev pojenjuje, hrup tistih, ki se veselijo, se končuje, radost harfe pojenjuje.
9 They drink not wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
Vina ne bodo pili s pesmijo; močna pijača bo grenka tistim, ki jo pijejo.
10 Broken down is the city of wasteness; every house is shut up, that none may come in.
Mesto zmešnjave je zlomljeno. Vsaka hiša je zaprta, da noben človek ne more vstopiti.
11 There is a crying in the streets amidst the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
Tam je na ulicah jokanje zaradi vina; vsa radost je otemnela, veselje dežele je odšlo.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten unto ruin.
V mestu je ostalo opustošenje in velika vrata so udarjena z uničenjem.
13 For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth, among the peoples, as at the beating of an olive-tree, as at the gleanings when the vintage is done.
Ko bo tako v sredi dežele med ljudstvom, bo tam kakor otresanje oljke in kakor paberkovanje grozdov, ko je trgatev končana.
14 Those yonder lift up their voice, they sing for joy; for the majesty of the LORD they shout from the sea:
Povzdignili bodo svoj glas, peli bodo zaradi Gospodovega veličanstva, glasno bodo klicali od morja.
15 'Therefore glorify ye the LORD in the regions of light, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.'
Zatorej proslavljajte Gospoda v ognjih, celó ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, na morskih otokih.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: 'Glory to the righteous.' But I say: I waste away, I waste away, woe is me! The treacherous deal treacherously; yea, the treacherous deal very treacherously.
Od skrajnih delov zemlje smo slišali pesmi, celó slavo k pravičnemu. Toda rekel sem: »Moja pustost, moja pustost, gorje meni! Zahrbtneži so postopali zahrbtno; da, zahrbtneži so postopali zelo zahrbtno.«
17 Terror, and the pit, and the trap, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
Strah, jama in zanka so nad teboj, oh prebivalec zemlje.
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake;
Zgodilo se bo, da kdor pobegne pred hrupom strahu, bo padel v jamo; in kdor prihaja gor iz srede jame, bo ujet v zanko, kajti okna od zgoraj so odprta in temelji zemlje se tresejo.
19 The earth is broken, broken down, the earth is crumbled in pieces, the earth trembleth and tottereth;
Zemlja je popolnoma razrušena, zemlja je čisto raztopljena, zemlja je silno premaknjena.
20 The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, and swayeth to and fro as a lodge; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.
Zemlja se bo opotekala sem ter tja kakor pijanec in odstranjena bo kakor koča in njen prestopek bo težak nad njo in ta bo padla in ne bo ponovno vstala.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will punish the host of the high heaven on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo Gospod kaznoval vojsko vzvišenih, ki so na višavi in zemeljske kralje na zemlji.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be punished.
Zbrani bodo skupaj, kakor so jetniki zbrani v jami in zaprti bodo v ječi in po mnogih dneh bodo obiskani.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His elders shall be Glory.
Potem bo luna zbegana in sonce osramočeno, ko bo Gospod nad bojevniki veličastno kraljeval na gori Sion in v Jeruzalemu in pred njegovimi starci.
