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 thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou hast made an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 Oh Gospod, bodi nam milostljiv, pričakovali smo te. Vsako jutro bodi njihov laket, tudi naša rešitev duše v času stiske.
O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm 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 tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.
4 Vaš plen bo zbran kakor zbiranje gosenice, kakor tekanje leteče kobilice sem ter tja bo on tekel nad njimi.
And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpiller gathereth: as locusts leap shall they leap upon it.
5 Gospod je povišan, kajti prebiva na višavi. Sion je napolnil s sodbo in pravičnostjo.
The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 Modrost in spoznanje bosta stabilnost tvojih časov in moč rešitve duše. Gospodov strah je njegov zaklad.
And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7 Glej, njihovi hrabri bodo zunaj vreščali. Predstavniki miru bodo grenko jokali.
Behold, their valiant ones cry without: 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 lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man.
9 Zemlja žaluje in peša. Libanon je osramočen in posekan. Šarón je podoben divjini in Bašán ter Karmel otresata svoje sadove.
The land mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves].
10 »Sedaj bom vstal, « govori Gospod, »sedaj bom povišan, sedaj se bom dvignil.
How will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted.
11 Spočeli boste pleve, rodili boste strnišče. Vaš dih vas bo pogoltnil kakor ogenj.
Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
12 Ljudstvo bo kakor gorenje žganega apna, kakor posekano trnje bodo sežgani v ognju.
And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
13 Prisluhnite vi, ki ste daleč proč, kaj sem storil in vi, ki ste blizu, priznajte mojo moč.
Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that 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 hath surprised the godless ones. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
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 walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil;
16 ta bo prebival na višavi. Njegov prostor obrambe bodo skalna oporišča. Dan mu bo kruh, njegove vode bodo zanesljive.
He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure.
17 Tvoje oči bodo videle kralja v njegovi lepoti. Gledale bodo deželo, ki je zelo daleč proč.
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a far stretching land.
18 Tvoje srce bo premišljevalo strahoto. Kje je pisar? Kje je prejemnik? Kje je tisti, ki je štel stolpe?
Thine heart shall muse on the terror: where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Ne boš videl krutega ljudstva, ljudstva globljega govora, kakor ga lahko zaznaš, jecljajočega jezika, ki ga ne moreš razumeti.
Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive; of a strange tongue that thou canst not 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 upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof 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; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
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.
Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey.
24 Prebivalec ne bo rekel: »Bolan sem.« Ljudstvu, ki tam prebiva, bo odpuščena njihova krivičnost.
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
