Izaija 27
1 Na tisti dan bo Gospod s svojim bridkim, velikim in močnim mečem kaznoval leviatána in ostro kačo, celó leviatána, to sprijeno kačo in pokončal bo zmaja, ki je v morju.
In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent —Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
2 Na tisti dan ji pojte: »Vinograd rdečega vina.«
In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
3 Jaz, Gospod, ga varujem; vsak trenutek ga bom zalival. Da ga ne bi kdorkoli poškodoval, ga bom varoval noč in dan.
I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
4 Razjarjenosti ni v meni. Kdo bi zoper mene v bitki postavil osat in trnje? Šel bi skoznje, skupaj bi jih požgal.
I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
5 Ali pa naj se oprime moje moči, da lahko sklene mir z menoj in sklenil bo mir z menoj.
Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
6 Tistim, ki pridejo iz Jakoba, bo povzročil, da se ukoreninijo. Izrael bo cvetel, brstel in obličje zemeljskega [kroga] bo napolnil s sadom.
In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 Mar ga je udaril, kakor je on udaril tiste, ki so ga udarili? Mar je umorjen glede na pokol tistih, ki so umorjeni po njem?
Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
8 Po meri, ko ta poganja naprej, boš razpravljal z njim. On ustavlja njegov oster veter na dan vzhodnika.
By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
9 Torej s tem bo Jakobova krivičnost očiščena in to je ves sad, da odvzame njegov greh, ko vse oltarne kamne naredi kakor apnenčaste kamne, ki so raztreščeni narazen; ašere in podobe ne bodo obstale.
Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 Vendar bo obrambno mesto opustelo in prebivališče zapuščeno in opuščeno kakor divjina. Tam se bo paslo tele in tam se bo uleglo in použilo njegove mladike.
For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
11 Ko njegove veje ovenijo, bodo odlomljene. Prišle bodo ženske in jih zažgale. Kajti to je ljudstvo brez razumevanja, zato tisti, ki jih je naredil, ne bo imel usmiljenja do njih in kdor jih je oblikoval, jim ne bo izkazal nobene naklonjenosti.
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
12 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo Gospod otepal od rečnega kanala do egiptovskega vodotoka in zbrani boste drug za drugim, oh vi, Izraelovi otroci.
In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
13 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo zatrobljeno na velik šofar in prišli bodo, ki so bili pripravljeni, da se pogubijo v asirski deželi in [ki so bili] pregnanci v egiptovski deželi in oboževali bodo Gospoda na sveti gori pri Jeruzalemu.
And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
