Izaija 18
1 Gorje deželi, zasenčeni s perutmi, ki je onkraj etiopskih rek,
Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2 ki pošilja predstavnike po morju, celo v posodah iz ločja na vodah, rekoč: »Pojdite, vi nagli poslanci, k narodu, razkropljenemu in razgaljenemu, k ljudstvu, strašnemu od njihovega začetka do zdaj; narodu razdeljenemu in pomendranemu, katerega deželo so oplenile reke!
That sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, all of you swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning until now; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
3 Vsi vi naseljenci zemeljskega [kroga] in prebivalci na zemlji, glejte, ko dviguje zastavo na gorah in ko zatrobi na šofar, prisluhnite.
All you inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see all of you, when he lifts up an explicit sign on the mountains; and when he blows a trumpet, hear all of you.
4 Kajti tako mi je rekel Gospod: ›Vzel si bom počitek in preudaril bom v svojem bivališču, kakor sončna vročina na rastlinah in kakor oblak rose v vročini žetve.
For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 Kajti pred žetvijo, ko je brst popoln in kislo grozdje dozoreva v cvetu, bo z obdelovalnimi kavlji odrezal tako poganjke, kakor odvzel in odrezal mladike.
For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
6 Skupaj bodo prepuščeni perjadi gora in zemeljskim živalim, in perjad bo na njih preživela čas žetve in vse zemeljske živali bodo prezimovale na njih.
They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 V tistem času bo prineseno darilo Gospodu nad bojevniki, od ljudstva, razkropljenega in razgaljenega in od ljudstva, ki je strašno od svojega začetka do sedaj, naroda, ki je razdeljen in pomendran pod stopalom, katerega deželo so oplenile reke, do kraja imena Gospoda nad bojevniki, gore Sion.‹«
In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning until now; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
