Isaiah 26
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will [God] appoint [for] walls and bulwarks.
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 truth may enter in.
Odprite velika vrata, da bo pravičen narod, ki varuje resnico, lahko vstopil.
3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.
Ohranil ga boš v popolnem miru, čigar um se zadržuje na tebi, ker on zaupa vate.
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH [is] everlasting strength:
Zaupajte v Gospoda na veke, kajti v Gospodu Jahveju je večna moč.
5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, [even] to the ground; he bringeth it [even] to the 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 foot shall tread it down, [even] the feet of the poor, [and] the steps of the needy.
Stopalo ga bo pomendralo, celó stopalo revnega in koraki pomoči potrebnih.«
7 The way of the just [is] uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
Pot pravičnih je poštenost. Ti, najpokončnejši, tehtaš stezo pravičnih.
8 Yes, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of [our] soul [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 soul have I desired thee in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments [are] in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
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 favor be shown to the wicked, [yet] he will not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty 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 LORD, [when] thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: [but] they shall see, and be ashamed for [their] envy at the people; yes, the fire of thy enemies shall devour 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, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
Gospod, ti nam hočeš določiti mir, kajti naredil si tudi vsa naša dela v nas.
13 O LORD our God, [other] lords beside thee have had dominion over us; [but] by thee only will we make mention of 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 [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
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 glorified: thou hadst removed [it] far to all the ends 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 have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening [was] upon them.
Gospod, v stiski so te obiskali, izlili so molitev, ko je bilo nad njimi tvoje karanje.
17 As a woman with child, [that] draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been 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 have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance on the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
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 live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, 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 doors about thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment until the indignation shall be overpast.
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 behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
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.
