Izaija 25
1 Oh Gospod, ti si moj Bog; poviševal te bom, hvalil bom tvoje ime, kajti storil si čudovite stvari; tvoji nasveti od davnine so zvestoba in resnica.
O Lord God, I will glorify you, I will sing to your name; for you have done wonderful things, [even] an ancient [and] faithful counsel. So be it.
2 Kajti iz mesta si naredil kup; iz obrambnega mesta razvalino, da palača tujcev ni več mesto; ta ne bo nikoli zgrajena.
For you have made cities a heap, [even] cities [made] strong that their foundations should not fall: the city of ungodly men shall not be built for ever.
3 Zato te bo močno ljudstvo proslavljalo in mesto strašnih narodov se te bo balo.
Therefore shall the poor people bless you, and cities of injured men shall bless you.
4 Kajti bil si moč revnim, moč pomoči potrebnim v njihovi tegobi, zatočišče pred viharjem, senca pred vročino, ko je udar strahovitežev kakor vihar proti zidu.
For you have been a helper to every lowly city, and a shelter to them that were disheartened by reason of poverty: you shall deliver them from wicked men: [you have been] a shelter of them that thirst, and a refreshing air to injured men.
5 Hrup tujcev boš ponižal kakor vročino na suhem kraju, celó vročino s senco oblaka; mladika strahovitežev bo ponižana.
[We were] as faint-hearted men thirsting in Sion, by reason of ungodly men to whom you did deliver us.
6 Na tej gori bo Gospod nad bojevniki vsem ljudstvom pripravil praznovanje mastnih stvari, praznovanje vin na drožeh, mastnih stvari, polnih mozga, dobro prečiščenih, dolgo hranjenih vin.
And the Lord of hosts shall make [a feast] for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine:
7 Na tej gori bo uničil obličje zagrinjala, vrženega nad vsa ljudstva in zagrinjalo, ki je razprostrto nad vsemi narodi.
they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart you all these things to the nations; for this is [God's] counsel upon all the nations.
8 V zmagi bo pogoltnil smrt. Gospod Bog bo obrisal solze iz vseh obrazov in sramoto svojega ljudstva bo vzel proč iz vse zemlje, kajti Gospod je to govoril.
Death has prevailed and swallowed [men] up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of [his] people from all the earth: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
9 Na ta dan bo rečeno: »Glejte! To je naš Bog; čakali smo nanj in on nas bo rešil. To je Gospod; čakali smo nanj, veseli bomo in se razveseljevali v njegovi rešitvi duše.«
And in that day they shall say, behold our God in whom we have trusted, and he shall save us: this [is] the Lord; we have waited for him, and we have exulted, and will rejoice in our salvation.
10 Kajti na tej gori bo počivala Gospodova roka in Moáb bo pomendran pod njim, celo kakor je slama pomendrana za gnojišče.
God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down, as they tread the floor with waggons.
11 Svoje roke bo razširil v njihovi sredi, kakor kdor plava razširja svoje roke za plavanje. Njihov ponos bo ponižal skupaj s pleni njihovih rok.
And he shall spread forth his hands, even as he also brings down [man] to destroy [him]: and he shall bring low his pride [in regard to the thing] on which he has laid his hands.
12 Trdnjavo visoke utrdbe tvojega obzidja bo ponižal, nizko položil in privedel k tlom, celó k prahu.
And he shall bring down the height of the refuge of the wall, and it shall come down even to the ground.
