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.
Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you people! The earth and all that fills it must listen, the world, and all things that come 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 Yahweh is angry with all the nations, and furious against all their armies; he has completely destroyed them, he has handed them over to the slaughter.
3 Tudi njihovi umorjeni bodo vrženi ven in njihov smrad bo prišel iz njihovih trupel in gore bodo stopljene z njihovo krvjo.
The bodies of their dead will be thrown out. The stench of the dead bodies will be everywhere; and the mountains will soak up 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.
All the stars of the sky will fade away, and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; and all their stars will fade away, as the leaf fades from off the vine, and as the overripe figs 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 when my sword will have drunk its fill in heaven; look, it will now come down on Edom, on the people I am setting apart for destruction.
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 Yahweh is dripping with blood and covered with fat, dripping with the blood of lambs and goats, covered with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For Yahweh has 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.
Wild oxen will fall with them, and young bulls with the older ones. Their land will be drunk with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 Kajti to je dan Gospodovega maščevanja in leto povračil zaradi Sionove pravde.
For it will be a day of vengeance for Yahweh and a year when he will pay them back for the cause of Zion.
9 Njegovi vodotoki bodo spremenjeni v smolo, njegov prah v žveplo in njegova dežela bo postala goreča smola.
The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch, her dust into sulfur, and her land will 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.
It will burn night and day; its smoke will rise forever; from generation to generation it will be a wasteland; no one will pass through it forever 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.
But wild birds and animals will live there; the owl and the raven will make their nest in it. He will stretch over it the measuring line of ruin and the plumbline of destruction.
12 Njene plemenite bodo poklicali h kraljestvu, toda tam ne bo nikogar in vsi njeni princi bodo nič.
Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom, and all her princes will be nothing.
13 Trnje bo pognalo v njenih palačah, koprive in trnovo grmovje v njenih trdnjavah, in ta bo prebivališče zmajem in dvor za sove.
Thorns will overgrow her palaces, nettles and thistles her fortresses. It will be a habitation of jackals, a place 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 animals and the hyenas will meet there, and the wild goats will cry to one another. Nocturnal animals will settle there and find for themselves 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.
Owls will make nests, lay and hatch their eggs, hatch and protect their young. Yes, there hawks will gather, each one with its 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 through the scroll of Yahweh; not one of these will be missing. None will lack for a mate; for his mouth has commanded it, and his spirit has gathered 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 has cast lots for their places, and his hand has measured it out for them by a cord. They will possess it forever; from generation to generation they will live there.
