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.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in perfect faithfulness.
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 the city a heap, a fortified city, a ruin, and a fortress of strangers into no city.
3 Zato te bo močno ljudstvo proslavljalo in mesto strašnih narodov se te bo balo.
Therefore a strong people will glorify you; a city of ruthless nations will fear 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 place of safety for the one who is poor, a shelter for the one who is needy in his distress— a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. When the breath of the ruthless was like a storm against a wall,
5 Hrup tujcev boš ponižal kakor vročino na suhem kraju, celó vročino s senco oblaka; mladika strahovitežev bo ponižana.
and like heat in a dry land, you subdued the noise of foreigners, as the heat is subdued by the shade of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless ones is answered.
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.
On this mountain Yahweh of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of fat things, of choice wines, of tender meats, a feast on the lees.
7 Na tej gori bo uničil obličje zagrinjala, vrženega nad vsa ljudstva in zagrinjalo, ki je razprostrto nad vsemi narodi.
He will destroy on this mountain the covering over all peoples, the web woven over 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.
He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces; the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Yahweh 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.«
It will be said on that day, “Look, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us. This is Yahweh; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
10 Kajti na tej gori bo počivala Gospodova roka in Moáb bo pomendran pod njim, celo kakor je slama pomendrana za gnojišče.
For on this mountain the hand of Yahweh will rest; and Moab will be trampled down in his place, even as straw is trampled down in a pit filled with manure.
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.
They will spread their hands in the midst of it, as a swimmer spreads his hands to swim. But Yahweh will bring down their pride in spite of the skill of their hands.
12 Trdnjavo visoke utrdbe tvojega obzidja bo ponižal, nizko položil in privedel k tlom, celó k prahu.
Your high fortress walls he will bring down to the ground, to the dust.
