Izaija 26
1 Na tisti dan bo ta pesem prepevana v Judovi deželi: »Imamo močno mesto; rešitev duše bo Bog določil za zidove in branike.
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation doth he appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 Odprite velika vrata, da bo pravičen narod, ki varuje resnico, lahko vstopil.
Open ye the gates, and the righteous nation which keepeth faithfulness shall enter in.
3 Ohranil ga boš v popolnem miru, čigar um se zadržuje na tebi, ker on zaupa vate.
Thou wilt keep in perfect peace the mind stayed [on thee], for he confideth in thee.
4 Zaupajte v Gospoda na veke, kajti v Gospodu Jahveju je večna moč.
Confide ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jah, Jehovah, is the rock of ages.
5 Kajti on poniža tiste, ki prebivajo na višavi; vzvišeno mesto, polaga ga nizko, polaga ga nizko, celó k tlom; prinaša ga celo k prahu.
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low, he layeth it low to the ground, he bringeth it even to the dust.
6 Stopalo ga bo pomendralo, celó stopalo revnega in koraki pomoči potrebnih.«
The foot shall tread it down, — the feet of the afflicted, the steps of the poor.
7 Pot pravičnih je poštenost. Ti, najpokončnejši, tehtaš stezo pravičnih.
The way of the just is uprightness: thou, the Upright, dost make the path of the just even.
8 Da, na poti tvojih sodb, oh Gospod, smo čakali nate; hrepenenje naše duše je k tvojemu imenu in k spominu nate.
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; the desire of [our] soul is to thy name, and to thy memorial.
9 S svojo dušo sem te želel ponoči; da, s svojim duhom znotraj sebe te bom iskal zgodaj, kajti ko so tvoje sodbe na zemlji, se bodo prebivalci zemeljskega [kroga] učili pravičnosti.
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Naj bo naklonjenost pokazana zlobnemu, vendar se ne bo naučil pravičnosti. V deželi poštenosti bo ravnal nepravično in ne bo gledal Gospodovega veličanstva.
If favour be shewn to the wicked, he doth not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he dealeth unjustly, and beholdeth not the majesty of Jehovah.
11 Gospod, kadar je tvoja roka dvignjena, ne bodo videli. Toda videli bodo in bodo osramočeni zaradi svoje zavisti nad ljudstvom; da, požrl jih bo ogenj tvojih sovražnikov.
Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, but they do not see: [yet] they shall see [thy] jealousy [for] the people, and be ashamed; yea, the fire which is for thine adversaries shall devour them.
12 Gospod, ti nam hočeš določiti mir, kajti naredil si tudi vsa naša dela v nas.
Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou also hast wrought all our works for us.
13 Oh Gospod, naš Bog, drugi gospodarji poleg tebe so imeli gospostvo nad nami, toda samo po tebi bomo naredili omembo tvojega imena.
Jehovah our God, other lords than thee have had dominion over us; by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
14 Mrtvi so, ne bodo živeli; preminuli so, ne bodo vstali. Zato si jih obiskal, uničil in storil, da ves spomin nanje izgine.
[They are] dead, they shall not live; deceased, they shall not rise: for thou hast visited and destroyed them, and made all memory of them to perish.
15 Povečal si narod, oh Gospod, ti si povečal narod. Proslavljen si. Odstranil si ga daleč, k vsem koncem zemlje.
Thou hast increased the nation, Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified. Thou hadst removed [it] far [unto] all the ends of the earth.
16 Gospod, v stiski so te obiskali, izlili so molitev, ko je bilo nad njimi tvoje karanje.
Jehovah, in trouble they sought thee; they poured out [their] whispered prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
17 Kakor je nosečnica, ko se približuje čas njenega poroda, v bolečini in vpije v svojih ostrih bolečinah, tako smo bili mi v tvojem pogledu, oh Gospod.
As a woman with child, that draweth near her delivery, is in travail, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, Jehovah.
18 Bili smo z otrokom, bili smo v bolečini, tako smo, kakor bi rodili veter; na zemlji nismo dosegli nobene osvoboditve; niti prebivalci zemeljskega [kroga] niso padli.
We have been with child, we have been in travail, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought the deliverance of the land, neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Tvoji mrtvi možje bodo živeli, skupaj z mojim truplom bodo vstali. Zbudite se in pojte, vi, ki prebivate v prahu, kajti tvoja rosa je kakor rosa zelišč in zemlja bo izvrgla mrtve.
Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing in triumph, ye that dwell in dust; for thy dew is the dew of the morning, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
20 Pridite, moje ljudstvo, vstopite v svoje sobe in zaprite svoja vrata naokoli sebe. Skrijte se, kakor bi bilo za kratek trenutek, dokler ne bo ogorčenje minilo.
Come, my people, enter into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself just for a little moment, until the indignation be past.
21 Kajti, glejte, Gospod prihaja iz svojega kraja, da kaznuje prebivalce zemlje zaradi njihove krivičnosti. Tudi zemlja bo razkrila svojo kri in ne bo več pokrivala svojih umorjenih.
For behold, Jehovah cometh out of his place to visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth upon them; and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
