Izaija 34
1 Pridite bliže, vi narodi, da slišite in prisluhnite ve ljudstva. Naj zemlja sliši in vsi, ki so na njej, zemeljski [krog] in vse stvari, ki pridejo iz njega.
Draw near, O ye nations, and hear! Attend, O ye people! Let the earth hear, and all that is therein; The world, and all that springs from it!
2 Kajti ogorčenje od Gospoda je nad vsemi narodi in njegova razjarjenost nad vsemi njihovimi vojskami. Popolnoma jih je uničil, izročil jih je v klanje.
For the wrath of Jehovah is kindled against all the nations, And his fury against all their armies; He hath devoted them to destruction; He hath given them up to slaughter.
3 Tudi njihovi umorjeni bodo vrženi ven in njihov smrad bo prišel iz njihovih trupel in gore bodo stopljene z njihovo krvjo.
Their slain shall be cast out; From their carcasses their stench shall ascend, And the mountains shall flow down with their blood.
4 Vse vojske neba bodo razpadle in nebo bo zvito skupaj kakor zvitek pergamenta. Vse njihove vojske bodo padle, kakor list pade s trte in kakor figa pade iz figovega drevesa.
And all the hosts of heaven shall melt away; And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, And all their host shall fall down, As the withered leaf faileth from the vine, As the blighted fruit from the fig-tree.
5 Kajti moj meč bo potešen na nebu. Glejte, ta bo prišel dol nad Edóm in nad ljudstvo mojega prekletstva, k sodbi.
For my sword hath become drunk in heaven; Behold, upon Edom shall it descend, Upon the people under my curse, for vengeance.
6 Gospodov meč je poln krvi, zamaščen s tolščo in s krvjo jagnjet in koz, s tolščo ledvic ovnov, kajti Gospod ima klavno daritev v Bocri in velik pokol v edómski deželi.
The sword of Jehovah is full of blood; It is covered with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams; For Jehovah holdeth a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Samorogi bodo z njimi prišli dol in bikci z biki in njihova dežela bo namočena s krvjo in njihov prah zamaščen z mastnostjo.
The wild buffaloes shall fall down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls; The hind shall be drunk with blood, And the ground enriched with fat.
8 Kajti to je dan Gospodovega maščevanja in leto povračil zaradi Sionove pravde.
For Jehovah holdeth a day of vengeance, A year of recompense in the cause of Zion.
9 Njegovi vodotoki bodo spremenjeni v smolo, njegov prah v žveplo in njegova dežela bo postala goreča smola.
Her streams shall be turned into pitch, And her dust into brimstone, And her whole land shall become burning pitch.
10 Ta ne bo pogašena ne ponoči ne podnevi; njen dim se bo dvigoval na veke. Od roda do roda bo ležala opustošena; nihče ne bo šel skoznjo na veke vekov.
Day and night it shall not be quenched; Its smoke shall ascend forever; From generation to generation it shall lie waste; None shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 Toda kormoran in bobnarica jo bosta vzela v last; tudi sova in krokar bosta v njej prebivala. Nadnjo bo razširil vrvico zmede in kamne praznine.
The pelican and the hedgehog shall possess it; The heron and the raven shall dwell in it; Over it will he draw the measuring-line of destruction. And the plummet of desolation.
12 Njene plemenite bodo poklicali h kraljestvu, toda tam ne bo nikogar in vsi njeni princi bodo nič.
Her nobles — none are there, who may proclaim a kingdom, And all her princes have come to naught.
13 Trnje bo pognalo v njenih palačah, koprive in trnovo grmovje v njenih trdnjavah, in ta bo prebivališče zmajem in dvor za sove.
Thorns shall spring up in her palaces; Nettles and thistles in her strongholds. She shall become a habitation for jackals, A court for ostriches.
14 Divje živali iz puščave se bodo prav tako srečale z divjimi živalmi z otoka in kozjenog bo klical svojemu tovarišu; tudi skovir bo tam počival in zase našel mesto počitka.
The wild-cats shall fall upon the wolves, And the satyr shall call to his fellow; There also shall the night-spectre light, And find a place of rest.
15 Tam si bo velika sova naredila svoje gnezdo, polegla, izvalila in [jih] zbrala pod svojo senco. Tam bodo zbrani tudi jastrebi, vsak s svojo družico.
There also shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay her eggs; She shall hatch them, and gather her young under her shadow: There also shall the vultures be gathered together, Every one with her mate.
16 Poiščite si iz Gospodove knjige in berite. Nobeden izmed teh ne bo manjkal, nobeden ne bo pogrešal svoje družice, kajti moja usta so to zapovedala in njegov duh jih je zbral.
Search ye the book of Jehovah, and read! Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall want her mate; For His mouth, it shall command, And His spirit, it shall gather them.
17 Zanje je vrgel žreb in njegova roka jim je to razdelila po vrvici. Vzeli jo bodo v last na veke, od roda do roda bodo prebivali v njej.
He shall cast the lot for them; His hand shall divide it for them with a line; They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
