Izaija 24
1 Glej, Gospod prazni zemljo in jo pustoši in jo prevrača in razpršuje njene prebivalce.
Lo, Jehovah is emptying the land, And is making it waste, And hath overturned [it on] its face, And hath scattered its inhabitants.
2 Zgodilo se bo, kakor z ljudstvom, tako z duhovnikom; kakor s služabnikom, tako z njegovim gospodarjem; kakor s služabnico, tako z njeno gospodarico; kakor s kupcem, tako s prodajalcem; kakor s tistim, ki posoja, tako z izposojevalcem; kakor z jemalcem obresti, tako s tistim, ki mu daje obresti.
And it hath been — as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maid-servant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
3 Dežela bo popolnoma izpraznjena in popolnoma oplenjena, kajti Gospod je spregovoril to besedo.
Utterly emptied is the land, and utterly spoiled, For Jehovah hath spoken this word:
4 Zemlja žaluje in bledi, zemeljski [krog] peša in bledi, ošabno ljudstvo zemlje peša.
Mourned, faded hath the land, Languished, faded hath the world, Languished have they — the high place of the people of the land.
5 Tudi zemlja je omadeževana pod njenimi prebivalci, ker so prekršili postave, spremenili odredbo, prelomili večno zavezo.
And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during.
6 Zato je prekletstvo požrlo zemljo in tisti, ki prebivajo na njej, so zapuščeni. Zato so prebivalci zemlje požgani in ostalo je le malo mož.
Therefore a curse hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.
7 Novo vino žaluje, trta peša, vsi veselo–srčni vzdihujejo.
Mourned hath the new wine, languished the vine, Sighed have all the joyful of heart.
8 Veselje bobničev pojenjuje, hrup tistih, ki se veselijo, se končuje, radost harfe pojenjuje.
Ceased hath the joy of tabrets, Ceased hath the noise of exulting ones, Ceased hath the joy of a harp.
9 Vina ne bodo pili s pesmijo; močna pijača bo grenka tistim, ki jo pijejo.
With a song they drink not wine, Bitter is strong drink to those drinking it.
10 Mesto zmešnjave je zlomljeno. Vsaka hiša je zaprta, da noben človek ne more vstopiti.
It was broken down — a city of emptiness, Shut hath been every house from entrance.
11 Tam je na ulicah jokanje zaradi vina; vsa radost je otemnela, veselje dežele je odšlo.
A cry over the wine [is] in out-places, Darkened hath been all joy, Removed hath been the joy of the land.
12 V mestu je ostalo opustošenje in velika vrata so udarjena z uničenjem.
Left in the city [is] desolation, And [with] wasting is the gate smitten.
13 Ko bo tako v sredi dežele med ljudstvom, bo tam kakor otresanje oljke in kakor paberkovanje grozdov, ko je trgatev končana.
When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the compassing of the olive, As gleanings when harvest hath been finished,
14 Povzdignili bodo svoj glas, peli bodo zaradi Gospodovega veličanstva, glasno bodo klicali od morja.
They — they lift up their voice, They sing of the excellency of Jehovah, They have cried aloud from the sea.
15 Zatorej proslavljajte Gospoda v ognjih, celó ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, na morskih otokih.
Therefore in prosperity honour ye Jehovah, In isles of the sea, the name of Jehovah, God of Israel.
16 Od skrajnih delov zemlje smo slišali pesmi, celó slavo k pravičnemu. Toda rekel sem: »Moja pustost, moja pustost, gorje meni! Zahrbtneži so postopali zahrbtno; da, zahrbtneži so postopali zelo zahrbtno.«
From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, 'Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.' Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
17 Strah, jama in zanka so nad teboj, oh prebivalec zemlje.
Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [Are] on thee, O inhabitant of the land.
18 Zgodilo se bo, da kdor pobegne pred hrupom strahu, bo padel v jamo; in kdor prihaja gor iz srede jame, bo ujet v zanko, kajti okna od zgoraj so odprta in temelji zemlje se tresejo.
And it hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of the land.
19 Zemlja je popolnoma razrušena, zemlja je čisto raztopljena, zemlja je silno premaknjena.
Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land.
20 Zemlja se bo opotekala sem ter tja kakor pijanec in odstranjena bo kakor koča in njen prestopek bo težak nad njo in ta bo padla in ne bo ponovno vstala.
Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise.
21 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo Gospod kaznoval vojsko vzvišenih, ki so na višavi in zemeljske kralje na zemlji.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah layeth a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the land on the land.
22 Zbrani bodo skupaj, kakor so jetniki zbrani v jami in zaprti bodo v ječi in po mnogih dneh bodo obiskani.
And they have been gathered — A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And shut up they have been in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
23 Potem bo luna zbegana in sonce osramočeno, ko bo Gospod nad bojevniki veličastno kraljeval na gori Sion in v Jeruzalemu in pred njegovimi starci.
And confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been the sun, For reigned hath Jehovah of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders — honour!
