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, thou [art] my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful [things]; [thy] counsels of old [are] faithfulness [and] truth.
2 Kajti iz mesta si naredil kup; iz obrambnega mesta razvalino, da palača tujcev ni več mesto; ta ne bo nikoli zgrajena.
For thou hast made of a city a heap; [of] a fortified city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Zato te bo močno ljudstvo proslavljalo in mesto strašnih narodov se te bo balo.
Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
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 thou hast been a defense to the poor, a defense to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall.
5 Hrup tujcev boš ponižal kakor vročino na suhem kraju, celó vročino s senco oblaka; mladika strahovitežev bo ponižana.
Thou wilt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; [even] the heat with the shade of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
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 on this mountain will the LORD of hosts make to all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 Na tej gori bo uničil obličje zagrinjala, vrženega nad vsa ljudstva in zagrinjalo, ki je razprostrto nad vsemi narodi.
And he will destroy on this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail [that is] spread over all 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 in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people will he remove from all the earth: for the LORD hath 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 it shall be said in that day, Lo, this [is] our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD, 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 shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
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 will spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim: and he will bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 Trdnjavo visoke utrdbe tvojega obzidja bo ponižal, nizko položil in privedel k tlom, celó k prahu.
And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls will he bring down, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust.
