Isaiah 40
1 My puple, be ye coumfortid, be ye coumfortid, seith youre Lord God.
»Tolažite, tolažite moje ljudstvo, « govori vaš Bog.
2 Speke ye to the herte of Jerusalem, and clepe ye it, for the malice therof is fillid, the wickidnesse therof is foryouun; it hath resseyued of the hond of the Lord double thingis for alle hise synnes.
»Govorite tolažilno [prestolnici] Jeruzalem in kličite k njej, da je njeno bojevanje dovršeno, da je njena krivičnost odpuščena, kajti iz Gospodove roke je prejela dvojno za vse svoje grehe.«
3 The vois of a crier in desert, Make ye redi the weie of the Lord, make ye riytful the pathis of oure God in wildirnesse.
Glas tistega, ki vpije v divjini: »Pripravite Gospodovo pot, v puščavi izravnajte glavno cesto za našega Boga.
4 Ech valey schal be enhaunsid, and ech mounteyn and litil hil schal be maad low; and schrewid thingis schulen be in to streiyt thingis, and scharpe thingis schulen be in to pleyn weies.
Vsaka dolina naj bo povišana in vsaka gora in hrib naj bosta znižana in skrivljeno naj bo izravnano in gorski grebeni ravnina
5 And the glorie of the Lord schal be schewid, and ech man schal se togidere, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoke.
in Gospodova slava se bo razodela in vse meso jo bo hkrati videlo, kajti Gospodova usta so to govorila.«
6 The vois of God, seiynge, Crie thou. And Y seide, What schal Y crie? Ech fleisch is hei, and al the glorie therof is as the flour of the feeld.
Glas je rekel: »Vpij.« Rekel je: »Kaj naj vpijem?« »Vse meso je trava in vsa njegova ljubkost je kakor cvetica polja.
7 The hei is dried vp, and the flour felle doun, for the spirit of the Lord bleew therynne.
Trava se suši, cvet veni, ker nanjo piha Gospodov duh. Zagotovo je ljudstvo trava.
8 Verely the puple is hey; the hey is dried vp, and the flour felle doun; but the word of the Lord dwellith with outen ende.
Trava se suši, cvet veni, toda beseda našega Boga bo obstala na veke.«
9 Thou that prechist to Sion, stie on an hiy hil; thou that prechist to Jerusalem, enhaunse thi vois in strengthe; enhaunse thou, nyle thou drede; seie thou to the citees of Juda, Lo! youre God.
Oh Sion, ki prinašaš dobre novice, pojdi gor na visoko goro. Oh Jeruzalem, ki prinašaš dobre novice, povzdigni svoj glas z močjo. Povzdigni ga, ne boj se, govóri Judovim mestom: »Glejte, vaš Bog!«
10 Lo! the Lord God schal come in strengthe, and his arm schal holde lordschipe; lo! his mede is with hym, and his werk is bifore hym.
Glejte, Gospod Bog bo prišel z močno roko in njegov laket bo vladal zanj. Glejte, njegova nagrada je z njim in njegovo delo pred njim.
11 As a scheepherd he schal fede his flok, he schal gadere lambreen in his arm, and he schal reise in his bosom; he schal bere scheep `with lomb.
Svoj trop bo pasel kakor pastir. Jagnjeta bo zbral s svojim laktom in jih nosil v svojem naročju in nežno vodil tiste, ki so z mladiči.
12 Who mat watris in a fist, and peiside heuenes with a spanne? Who peiside the heuynesse of the erthe with thre fyngris, and weide mounteyns in a weihe, and litle hillis in a balaunce?
Kdo je izmeril vode z dlanjo svoje roke, s pednjem premeril nebo, doumel prah zemlje po meri in odtehtal gore na vagah in hribe na tehtnici?
13 Who helpide the Spirit of the Lord, ether who was his councelour, and schewide to hym?
Kdo je usmerjal Gospodovega Duha ali je bil njegov svetovalec in ga učil?
14 With whom took he councel, and who lernyde hym, and tauyte hym the path of riytfulnesse, and lernyde hym in kunnyng, and schewyde to him the weie of prudence?
S kom se je posvetoval in kdo ga je poučeval in ga učil na stezi sodbe in ga učil spoznanja in mu pokazal pot razumevanja?
15 Lo! folkis ben as a drope of a boket, and ben arettid as the tunge of a balaunce; lo!
Glej, narodi so kakor kapljica iz vedra in šteti so kakor majhen prah na tehtnici. Glej, otoke dviguje kakor zelo majhno stvar.
16 ylis ben as a litil dust, and the Liban schal not suffice to brenne his sacrifice, and the beestis therof schulen not suffice to brent sacrifice.
Libanon ni zadosten za gorenje niti njegove živali ne zadoščajo za žgalno daritev.
17 Alle folkis ben so bifore hym, as if thei ben not; and thei ben rettid as no thing and veyn thing to hym.
Vsi narodi pred njim so kakor nič in zanj so vsi šteti manj kot nič in ničnost.
18 To whom therfor maden ye God lijk? ether what ymage schulen ye sette to hym?
Komu hočete potem primerjati Boga? Ali kakšno podobnost hočete primerjati k njemu?
19 Whether a smyth schal welle togidere an ymage, ether a gold smyth schal figure it in gold, and a worchere in siluer schal diyte it with platis of siluer?
Delavec tali rezano podobo, zlatar jo prevleče z zlatom in uliva srebrne verižice.
20 A wijs crafti man chees a strong tre, and vnable to be rotun; he sekith how he schal ordeyne a symylacre, that schal not be mouyd.
Kdor je tako obubožan, da nima daritve, izbira drevo, ki ne bo trohnelo, zanj išče spretnega delavca, da pripravi rezano podobo, ki ne bo omajana.
21 Whether ye witen not? whether ye herden not? whether it was not teld to you fro the begynnynge? whether ye vndurstoden not the foundementis of erthe?
Mar niste vedeli? Mar niste slišali? Mar vam ni bilo to povedano od začetka? Mar niste razumeli od temeljev zemlje?
22 Which sittith on the cumpas of erthe, and the dwelleris therof ben as locustis; which stretchith forth heuenes as nouyt, and spredith abrood tho as a tabernacle to dwelle.
On je, ki sedi nad zemeljskim krogom, njegovi prebivalci pa so kakor kobilice, ki razprostira nebesa kakor zaveso in jih razširja kakor šotor za prebivanje v njem,
23 Which yyueth the sercheris of priuytees, as if thei be not, and made the iugis of erthe as a veyn thing.
ki prince daje v nič, sodnike zemlje dela kakor ničnost.
24 And sotheli whanne the stok of hem is nether plauntid, nether is sowun, nether is rootid in erthe, he bleew sudenli on hem, and thei drieden vp, and a whirle wynd schal take hem awei as stobil.
Da, ne bodo posajeni, da, ne bodo posejani. Da, njihova klada se ne bo zakoreninila v zemlji in nanje bo tudi pihal in se bodo izsušili in vrtinčast veter jih bo odnesel kakor slamo.
25 And to what thing `ye han licned me, and han maad euene? seith the hooli.
»H komu me boste potem primerjali ali [komu] bom enak?« govori Sveti.
26 Reise youre iyen an hiy, and se ye, who made these thingis of nouyt; which ledith out in noumbre the kniythod of tho, and clepith alle bi name, for the multitude of his strengthe, and stalworthnesse, and vertu; nether o residue thing was.
Povzdignite svoje oči na visoko in glejte, kdo je ustvaril te stvari, ki njihovo vojsko vodi ven po številu. Vse jih kliče po imenih z veličino svoje moči, ker je močan v moči; niti ena ne manjka.
27 Whi seist thou, Jacob, and spekist thou, Israel, My weie is hid fro the Lord, and my doom passide fro my God?
Zakaj praviš, oh Jakob in govoriš, oh Izrael: »Moja pot je skrita pred Gospodom in moja sodba je šla mimo mojega Boga?
28 Whether thou knowist not, ether herdist thou not? God, euerlastynge Lord, that made of nouyt the endis of erthe, schal not faile, nether schal trauele, nether enserchyng of his wisdom is.
Mar nisi spoznal? Mar nisi slišal, da večen Bog, Gospod, Stvarnik koncev zemlje, ne slabi niti ni izmučen? Njegovega razumevanja ni možno preiskati.
29 That yyueth vertu to the weeri, and strengthe to hem that ben not, and multiplieth stalworthnesse.
Silo daje slabotnim in tistim, ki nimajo moči, povečuje moč.
30 Children schulen faile, and schulen trauele, and yonge men schulen falle doun in her sikenesse.
Celo mladostniki bodo oslabeli in bodo izmučeni in mladeniči bodo popolnoma padli,
31 But thei that hopen in the Lord, schulen chaunge strengthe, thei schulen take fetheris as eglis; thei schulen renne, and schulen not trauele; thei schulen go, and schulen not faile.
toda tisti, ki čakajo na Gospoda, bodo obnavljali svojo moč, vzpenjali se bodo s perutmi kakor orli, tekli bodo in ne bodo izmučeni in hodili bodo in ne oslabeli.
