Izaija 33
1 Gorje tebi, ki pleniš, pa nisi bil oplenjen in postopaš zahrbtno, oni pa niso zahrbtno postopali s teboj! Ko boš prenehal pleniti, potem boš oplenjen in ko boš naredil konec zahrbtnemu postopanju, potem bodo zahrbtno postopali s teboj.
Woe to them that afflict you; but no one makes you miserable: and he that deals perfidiously with you does not deal perfidiously: they that deal perfidiously shall be taken and given up, and as a moth on a garment, so shall they be spoiled.
2 Oh Gospod, bodi nam milostljiv, pričakovali smo te. Vsako jutro bodi njihov laket, tudi naša rešitev duše v času stiske.
Lord, have mercy upon us; for we have trusted in you: the seed of the rebellious is gone to destruction, but our deliverance was in a time of affliction.
3 Ob hrupu upora je ljudstvo pobegnilo, ob tvojem vzdigovanju so bili narodi razkropljeni.
By reason of the terrible sound the nations were dismayed for fear of you, and the heathen were scattered.
4 Vaš plen bo zbran kakor zbiranje gosenice, kakor tekanje leteče kobilice sem ter tja bo on tekel nad njimi.
And now shall the spoils of your small and great be gathered: as if one should gather locusts, so shall they mock you.
5 Gospod je povišan, kajti prebiva na višavi. Sion je napolnil s sodbo in pravičnostjo.
The God who dwells on high is holy: Sion is filled with judgment and righteousness.
6 Modrost in spoznanje bosta stabilnost tvojih časov in moč rešitve duše. Gospodov strah je njegov zaklad.
They shall be delivered up to the law: our salvation is our treasure: there are wisdom and knowledge and piety toward the Lord; these are the treasures of righteousness.
7 Glej, njihovi hrabri bodo zunaj vreščali. Predstavniki miru bodo grenko jokali.
Behold now, these shall be terrified with fear of you: those whom you feared shall cry out because of you: messengers shall be sent, bitterly weeping, entreating for peace.
8 Glavne ceste ležijo zapuščene, popotnik peša. Prelomil je zavezo, preziral mesta, ne ozira se na nobenega človeka.
For the ways of these shall be made desolate: the terror of the nations has been made to cease, and the covenant with these is taken away, and you shall by no means deem them men.
9 Zemlja žaluje in peša. Libanon je osramočen in posekan. Šarón je podoben divjini in Bašán ter Karmel otresata svoje sadove.
The land mourns; Libanus is ashamed: Saron is become marshes; Galilee shall be laid bare, and Chermel.
10 »Sedaj bom vstal, « govori Gospod, »sedaj bom povišan, sedaj se bom dvignil.
Now will I arise, says the Lord, now will I be glorified; now will I be exalted.
11 Spočeli boste pleve, rodili boste strnišče. Vaš dih vas bo pogoltnil kakor ogenj.
Now shall you see, now shall you perceive; the strength of your breath, shall be vain; fire shall devour you.
12 Ljudstvo bo kakor gorenje žganega apna, kakor posekano trnje bodo sežgani v ognju.
And the nations shall be burnt up; as a thorn in the field cast out and burnt up.
13 Prisluhnite vi, ki ste daleč proč, kaj sem storil in vi, ki ste blizu, priznajte mojo moč.
They that are afar off shall hear what I have done; they that draw near shall know my strength.
14 Grešniki na Sionu so prestrašeni, grozljivost je presenetila hinavce. Kdo izmed nas bo bival s požirajočim ognjem? Kdo izmed nas bo bival z večnimi gorenji?
The sinners in Sion have departed; trembling shall seize the ungodly. Who will tell you that a fire is kindled? Who will tell you of the eternal place?
15 Kdor hodi pravično in govori iskreno, kdor prezira dobiček zatiranj, ki otresa svoji roki pred tem, da bi držal podkupnine, ki si ušesa zatiska pred poslušanjem o krvi in zatiska svoje oči pred gledanjem zla;
He that walks in righteousness, speaking rightly, hating transgression and iniquity, and shaking his hands from gifts, stopping his ears that he should not hear the judgment of blood, shutting his eyes that he should not see injustice.
16 ta bo prebival na višavi. Njegov prostor obrambe bodo skalna oporišča. Dan mu bo kruh, njegove vode bodo zanesljive.
he shall dwell in a high cave of a strong rock: bread shall be given him, and his water shall be sure.
17 Tvoje oči bodo videle kralja v njegovi lepoti. Gledale bodo deželo, ki je zelo daleč proč.
You shall see a king with glory: your eyes shall behold a land from afar.
18 Tvoje srce bo premišljevalo strahoto. Kje je pisar? Kje je prejemnik? Kje je tisti, ki je štel stolpe?
Your soul shall meditate terror. Where are the scribes? where are the counselors, where is he that numbers them that are growing up,
19 Ne boš videl krutega ljudstva, ljudstva globljega govora, kakor ga lahko zaznaš, jecljajočega jezika, ki ga ne moreš razumeti.
[even] the small and great people? with whom he took not counsel, neither did he understand [a people] of deep speech, so that a despised people should not hear, and there is no understanding to him that hears.
20 Poglej na Sion, mesto naših slovesnosti. Tvoje oči bodo videle Jeruzalem, tiho prebivališče, šotor, ki ne bo porušen; niti eden izmed njegovih klinov ne bo nikoli odstranjen niti nobena izmed njegovih vrvi pretrgana.
Behold the city of Sion, our refuge: your eyes shall behold Jerusalem, a rich city, tabernacles which shall not be shaken, neither shall the pins of her tabernacle be moved for ever, neither shall her cords be at all broken:
21 Toda tam nam bo veličasten Gospod kraj širokih rek in vodotokov, kamor ne bo plula galeja z vesli niti čedna ladja ne bo plula mimo.
for the name of the Lord is great to you: you shall have a place, [even] rivers and wide and spacious channels: you shall not go this way, neither a vessel with oars go [thereby].
22 Kajti Gospod je naš sodnik, Gospod je naš zakonodajalec, Gospod je naš kralj, on nas bo rešil.
For my God is great: the Lord our judge shall not pass me by: the Lord is our prince, the Lord is our king; the Lord, he shall save us.
23 Tvoja ladijska oprema je odvezana; ne morejo dobro ojačati jambora, ne morejo razpeti jadra. Potem je plen velikega ukradenega blaga razdeljen; hromi pobira plen.
Your cords are broken, for they had no strength: your meat has given way, it shall not spread the sails, it shall not bear a signal, until it be given up for plunder; therefore shall many lame men take spoil.
24 Prebivalec ne bo rekel: »Bolan sem.« Ljudstvu, ki tam prebiva, bo odpuščena njihova krivičnost.
And the people dwelling among them shall by no means say, I am in pain: for their sin shall be forgiven them.
