Isaiah 66
1 Thus says the LORD, "Heaven is my throne, and earth is the footstool of my feet. Where then is the house you could build for me? And where then is the place of my rest?
»Tako govori Gospod: ›Nebo je moj prestol in zemlja je moja pručka. Kje je hiša, ki mi jo gradite? In kje je kraj mojega počitka?
2 For all these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be," says the LORD: "but to this man will I look, to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
Kajti vse te stvari je naredila moja roka in vse te stvari so bile, ‹ govori Gospod, ›toda gledal bom k temu človeku, celó k njemu, ki je reven in skesanega duha in trepeta ob moji besedi.
3 He who slaughters an ox is like one who strikes down a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:
Kdor kolje vola, je kakor če usmrti človeka; kdor žrtvuje jagnje, kakor če odseka pasji vrat; kdor daruje daritev kakor, če bi daroval svinjsko kri; kdor sežiga kadilo, kakor če bi blagoslovil malika. Da, izbrali so si svoje lastne poti in njihova duša se razveseljuje v njihovih ogabnostih.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
Tudi jaz bom izbral njihove zablode in nanje privedel njihove strahove, ker ko sem klical nihče ni odgovoril, ko sem govoril niso poslušali, temveč so pred mojimi očmi počeli zlo in izbirali tisto, v čemer se nisem veselil.‹
5 Hear the word of the LORD, you who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy;' but it is those who shall be disappointed.
Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo vi, ki trepetate ob njegovi besedi: ›Vaši bratje, ki so vas sovražili, ki so vas metali ven zaradi mojega imena, so rekli: ›Naj bo Gospod proslavljen.‹ Toda pojavil se bo v vašo radost, oni pa bodo osramočeni.‹
6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompense to his enemies.
Glas hrupa iz mesta, glas iz templja, glas Gospoda, ki vrača povračilo svojim sovražnikom.
7 "Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
Preden je bila v porodnih mukah, je rodila, preden je prišla njena bolečina, je rodila fantka.
8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Kdo je slišal takšno stvar? Kdo je videl takšne stvari? Mar bo zemlja primorana, da rodi v enem dnevu? Ali bo narod hkrati rojen? Kajti takoj, ko je bila [hči] sionska v porodnih mukah, je rodila svoje otroke.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?" says the LORD: "shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?" says your God.
Mar bom privedel do rojstva in ne bom povzročil, da rodi?‹ govori Gospod: ›Mar bom povzročil, da rodi in zaprl maternico?‹ govori tvoj Bog.
10 "Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
Veselite se s [prestolnico] Jeruzalem in bodite veseli z njo, vsi vi, ki jo ljubite. Veselite se zaradi radosti z njo, vsi vi, ki žalujete nad njo,
11 that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."
da boste lahko sesali in boste nasičeni s prsi njenih tolažb, da boste srkali in boste veseli z obiljem njene slave, ‹
12 For thus says the LORD, "Look, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, mir bom iztegnil k njej kakor reko in slavo poganov kakor tekoč vodotok. Potem boste sesali, nošeni boste na njenih straneh in ujčkani na njenih kolenih.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem."
Kakor nekdo, ki ga njegova mati tolaži, tako bom jaz potolažil vas in v Jeruzalemu boste potolaženi.
14 You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
Ko to zagledate, se bo vaše srce veselilo in vaše kosti bodo cvetele kakor zelišče in Gospodova roka bo poznana njegovim služabnikom in njegovo ogorčenje proti njegovim sovražnikom.
15 For, look, the LORD will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Kajti glej, Gospod bo prišel z ognjem in s svojimi bojnimi vozovi kakor z vrtinčastim vetrom, da povrne svojo jezo z razjarjenostjo in svoje oštevanje s plameni ognja.
16 For by fire will the LORD execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
Kajti z ognjem in s svojim mečem se bo Gospod pravdal z vsem mesom in mnogo bo umorjenih od Gospoda.
17 "Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together," says the LORD.
Tisti, ki se posvetijo in se očistijo na vrtovih za enim drevesom na sredi, jedoč svinjsko meso, ogabnost in miš, bodo skupaj použiti, ‹ govori Gospod.
18 "For I know their works and their thoughts. I am coming to gather all nations and languages; and they will come and see my glory.
Kajti poznam njihova dela in njihove misli. Zgodilo se bo, da bom zbral vse narode in jezike in prišli bodo in videli mojo slavo.
19 "I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
Med njimi bom postavil znamenje in poslal bom tiste, ki izmed njih pobegnejo k narodom, k Taršíšu, Pulu in Ludu, ki napenjajo lok, k Tubálu in Javánu, k oddaljenim otokom, ki niso slišali mojega slovesa niti niso videli moje slave in mojo slavo bodo razglašali med pogani.
20 They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
K moji sveti gori Jeruzalem bodo privedli vse vaše brate v dar Gospodu iz vseh narodov na konjih, bojnih vozovih, nosilnicah, na mulah in na hitrih živalih, ‹ govori Gospod, ›kakor Izraelovi otroci prinesejo daritev v čisti posodi v Gospodovo hišo.
21 And I will also take some of them for myself as priests and Levites," says the LORD.
Tudi od njih [jih] bom vzel za duhovnike in za Lévijevce, ‹ govori Gospod.
22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me," says the LORD, "so your descendants and your name shall remain.
›Kajti kakor bosta novo nebo in nova zemlja, ki ju bom naredil, ostala pred menoj, ‹ govori Gospod, ›tako bo ostalo vaše seme in vaše ime.
23 It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," says the LORD.
In zgodilo se bo, da bo od enega do drugega mlaja in od enega do drugega šabata, prišlo vse meso, da obožuje pred menoj, ‹ govori Gospod.
24 "They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all humankind."
›Šli bodo naprej in gledali na trupla ljudi, ki so se pregrešili zoper mene, kajti njihov črv ne bo umrl niti njihov ogenj ne bo pogašen in gnus bodo vsemu mesu.‹«
