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 you who destroy, but you weren't destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you. When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have made an end of betrayal, you will be betrayed.
2 Oh Gospod, bodi nam milostljiv, pričakovali smo te. Vsako jutro bodi njihov laket, tudi naša rešitev duše v času stiske.
LORD, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 Ob hrupu upora je ljudstvo pobegnilo, ob tvojem vzdigovanju so bili narodi razkropljeni.
At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
4 Vaš plen bo zbran kakor zbiranje gosenice, kakor tekanje leteče kobilice sem ter tja bo on tekel nad njimi.
Your spoil will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
5 Gospod je povišan, kajti prebiva na višavi. Sion je napolnil s sodbo in pravičnostjo.
The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 Modrost in spoznanje bosta stabilnost tvojih časov in moč rešitve duše. Gospodov strah je njegov zaklad.
There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is your treasure.
7 Glej, njihovi hrabri bodo zunaj vreščali. Predstavniki miru bodo grenko jokali.
Look, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 Glavne ceste ležijo zapuščene, popotnik peša. Prelomil je zavezo, preziral mesta, ne ozira se na nobenega človeka.
The highways are desolate, the traveler ceases. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the witnesses; he has no regard for man.
9 Zemlja žaluje in peša. Libanon je osramočen in posekan. Šarón je podoben divjini in Bašán ter Karmel otresata svoje sadove.
The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
10 »Sedaj bom vstal, « govori Gospod, »sedaj bom povišan, sedaj se bom dvignil.
"Now I will arise," says the LORD; "Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11 Spočeli boste pleve, rodili boste strnišče. Vaš dih vas bo pogoltnil kakor ogenj.
You will conceive chaff. You will bring forth stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12 Ljudstvo bo kakor gorenje žganega apna, kakor posekano trnje bodo sežgani v ognju.
The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
13 Prisluhnite vi, ki ste daleč proč, kaj sem storil in vi, ki ste blizu, priznajte mojo moč.
Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might."
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 Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
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 who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
16 ta bo prebival na višavi. Njegov prostor obrambe bodo skalna oporišča. Dan mu bo kruh, njegove vode bodo zanesljive.
he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
17 Tvoje oči bodo videle kralja v njegovi lepoti. Gledale bodo deželo, ki je zelo daleč proč.
Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
18 Tvoje srce bo premišljevalo strahoto. Kje je pisar? Kje je prejemnik? Kje je tisti, ki je štel stolpe?
Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
19 Ne boš videl krutega ljudstva, ljudstva globljega govora, kakor ga lahko zaznaš, jecljajočega jezika, ki ga ne moreš razumeti.
You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can't comprehend, with a strange language that you can't understand.
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.
Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won't be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be 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.
But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
22 Kajti Gospod je naš sodnik, Gospod je naš zakonodajalec, Gospod je naš kralj, on nas bo rešil.
For the LORD is our judge. The LORD is our lawgiver. The LORD is our king. He will 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 rigging is untied. They couldn't strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn't spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey.
24 Prebivalec ne bo rekel: »Bolan sem.« Ljudstvu, ki tam prebiva, bo odpuščena njihova krivičnost.
The inhabitant won't say, "I am sick." The people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
