Izaija 1
1 Videnje Amócovega sina Izaija, ki ga je videl glede Juda in Jeruzalema v dneh Uzíjaha, Jotáma, Aháza in Ezekíja, Judovih kraljev.
This is the vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Prisluhnite, oh nebesa in pazljivo prisluhni, oh zemlja, kajti Gospod je spregovoril: »Hranil in vzgojil sem otroke, oni pa so se uprli zoper mene.
Listen, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD has spoken: “I have raised children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against Me.
3 Vol pozna svojega lastnika in osel jasli svojega gospodarja, toda Izrael ne pozna, moje ljudstvo ne preudari.
The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s manger, but Israel does not know; My people do not understand.”
4 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.
Alas, O sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children of depravity! They have forsaken the LORD; they have despised the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on Him.
5 Zakaj naj bi bili še udarjani? Spuntali se boste bolj in bolj. Celotna glava je bolna in celotno srce slabi.
Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep rebelling? Your head has a massive wound, and your whole heart is afflicted.
6 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.
From the sole of your foot to the top of your head, there is no soundness— only wounds and welts and festering sores neither cleansed nor bandaged nor soothed with oil.
7 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.
Your land is desolate; your cities are burned with fire. Foreigners devour your fields before you— a desolation demolished by strangers.
8 Hči sionska je ostala kakor koča v vinogradu, kakor lopa na kumaričnem vrtu, kakor oblegano mesto.«
And the Daughter of Zion is abandoned like a shelter in a vineyard, like a shack in a cucumber field, like a city besieged.
9 Razen, če nam Gospod nad bojevniki ne bi pustil zelo majhnega ostanka, bi bili kakor Sódoma in podobni bi bili Gomóri.
Unless the LORD of Hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.
10 Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi sódomski vladarji, pazljivo prisluhnite postavi našega Boga, ljudstvo gomórsko.
Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
11 »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.
“What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?” says the LORD. “I am full from the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I take no delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
12 Ko prihajate, da se pojavite pred menoj, kdo je to zahteval iz vaše roke, da teptate moje dvore?
When you come to appear before Me, who has required this of you— this trampling of My courts?
13 Ne prinašajte več praznih daritev; kadilo mi je ogabnost. Mlajev in šabat, sklicevanja zborov ne morem prenašati; to je krivičnost, celo slovesno srečanje.
Bring your worthless offerings no more; your incense is detestable to Me— your New Moons, Sabbaths, and convocations. I cannot endure iniquity in a solemn assembly.
14 Vaše mlaje in vaše določene praznike sovraži moja duša. Le-ti so mi obremenitev, naveličal sem se jih prenašati.
I hate your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 Ko svoje roke iztezate naprej, bom pred vami skril svoje oči. Da, ko opravljate številne molitve, ne bom poslušal. Vaše roke so polne krvi.
When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.
16 Umijte se, očistite se. Odstranite zlo svojih dejanj izpred mojih oči, prenehajte početi zlo.
Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil!
17 Naučite se delati dobro, iščite sodbo, olajšajte zatirane, sodite osirotele, potegujte se za vdovo.
Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.”
18 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.
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool.
19 Če boste voljni in poslušni, boste jedli dobro od dežele.
If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.
20 Toda če odklonite in se uprete, boste požrti z mečem, kajti Gospodova usta so to govorila.
But if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.”
21 Kako je zvesto mesto postalo pocestnica! Bila je polna sodbe, pravičnost je bila nastanjena v njej, toda sedaj morilci.
See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness resided within her, but now only murderers!
22 Tvoje srebro je postalo žlindra, tvoje vino pomešano z vodo,
Your silver has become dross; your fine wine is diluted with water.
23 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.«
Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and chasing after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the plea of the widow never comes before them.
24 Zato govori Gospod, Gospod nad bojevniki, Mogočni Izraelov: »Ah, žal mi bo mojih nasprotnikov in maščeval se bom nad svojimi sovražniki
Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: “Ah, I will be relieved of My foes and avenge Myself on My enemies.
25 in svojo roko bom obrnil nadte in z lugom temeljito očistil proč tvojo žlindro in odvzel ves tvoj kositer
I will turn My hand against you; I will thoroughly purge your dross; I will remove all your impurities.
26 in povrnil bom tvoje sodnike kakor poprej in tvoje svetovalce, kakor na začetku. Potem boš imenovana: ›Mesto pravičnosti, zvesto mesto.‹
I will restore your judges as at first, and your counselors as at the beginning. After that you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.”
27 Sion bo odkupljen s sodbo in njegovi spreobrnjenci s pravičnostjo.
Zion will be redeemed with justice, her repentant ones with righteousness.
28 Uničenje prestopnikov in grešnikov bo hkratno in tisti, ki zapustijo Gospoda, bodo použiti.
But rebels and sinners will together be shattered, and those who forsake the LORD will perish.
29 Kajti sramovali se bodo hrastov, ki ste jih želeli in zbegani boste zaradi vrtov, ki ste jih izbrali.
Surely you will be ashamed of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be embarrassed by the gardens that you have chosen.
30 Kajti vi boste kakor hrast, čigar list oveni in kakor vrt, ki nima vode.
For you will become like an oak whose leaves are withered, like a garden without water.
31 Močni bo kakor predivo in njegov izdelovalec kakor iskra in skupaj bosta sežgana in nihče ju ne bo pogasil.«
The strong man will become tinder and his work will be a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the flames.
