Izaija 18
1 Gorje deželi, zasenčeni s perutmi, ki je onkraj etiopskih rek,
Ah, the land of the rustling of 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 papyrus on the waters, saying, "Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared near and far, a nation strong and conquering, whose land the rivers divide."
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 you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look. When the trumpet is blown, listen.
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 the LORD said to me, "I will be still, and I will see from my dwelling place, like the clear heat in sunshine, 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 blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading 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 will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on 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, a present will be brought to the LORD of hosts from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, Mount Zion.
