Izaija 5
1 Torej bom svojemu srčno ljubljenemu zapel pesem o mojem ljubljenem, glede njegovega vinograda. Moj srčno ljubljeni ima vinograd na zelo plodnem hribu
Let me sing a song for my love, about his vineyard. My love owned a vineyard on a productive hill.
2 in ogradil ga je in pobral ven njegove kamne, ga zasadil z izbrano trto, v njegovi sredi zgradil stolp in v njem naredil tudi vinsko stiskalnico in gledal, da bi ta obrodil grozdje, pa je obrodil divje grozdje.
He dug it over, cleared the ground of stones, and planted it with the very best vines. In the middle of it he built a watchtower, and he also cut out a winepress from the rock. Then he waited for a good harvest of grapes, but it only produced wild, sour grapes.
3 In sedaj, oh prebivalci Jeruzalema in možje iz Juda, sodite, prosim vas, med menoj in mojim vinogradom.
“Now, you people who live in Jerusalem and Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
4 Kaj bi bilo lahko več storjeno za moj vinograd, česar nisem storil v njem? Čemu je ta, ko sem gledal, da bi obrodil grozdje, obrodil divje grozdje?
What more could I have done for my vineyard than I've already done? When I looked for sweet grapes, why did it only produce sour ones?
5 Sedaj pojdi, povedal ti bom, kaj bom storil svojemu vinogradu. Odstranil bom njegovo ograjo in ta bo požrt in porušil bom njegovo obzidje in ta bo pomendran.
So let me tell you what I'm going to do to my vineyard. I'll remove its hedge, and it will be destroyed. I'll tear down its wall, and it will be trampled underfoot.
6 Opustošil ga bom. Ne bo obrezan niti prekopan, temveč bosta tam rasla osat in trnje. Tudi oblakom bom zapovedal, da nanj ne dežujejo več dežja.
I'll turn it into a wasteland. It won't be pruned or weeded—it will be overgrown with brambles and thorns. I'll order the clouds not to rain on it.”
7 Kajti vinograd Gospoda nad bojevniki je Izraelova hiša in Judovi možje so njegov prijetni nasad. Iskal je sodbo, toda glej, zatiranje, za pravičnostjo, toda glej, jok.
Israel is the vineyard of the Lord Almighty, and the people of Judah are the plants in his garden that made him happy. Yet while he hoped for justice, he only saw injustice; he hoped people would live right, but he only heard the cries of those who were suffering.
8 Gorje tistim, ki priključujejo hišo k hiši, ki postavljajo polje k polju, dokler ni več prostora, da bi bili lahko oni sami nameščeni na sredi zemlje!
Tragedy is coming to you who buy house upon house and field upon field, joining them all together until no one else has anywhere to live and you live alone in the land.
9 V moja ušesa je Gospod nad bojevniki rekel: »Resnično, mnogo hiš bo zapuščenih, celó velike in lepe, brez prebivalca.«
I heard the Lord Almighty declare: You can be sure that many houses are destined to become ruins, and beautiful mansions destined to become uninhabited.
10 Da, deset oralov vinograda bo obrodilo en čeber in seme enega tovora bo obrodilo škaf.
Ten acres of vineyard will only produce a six gallons of wine, and a measure of seed only a tenth of that in grain.
11 Gorje tistim, ki vstajajo zgodaj zjutraj, da lahko sledijo močni pijači; to nadaljujejo do večera, dokler jih vino ne vname!
Tragedy is coming to you who get up early in the morning wanting a drink, and who stay up late drinking wine until you're drunk.
12 Harfa, lira, bobnič, piščal in vino so na njihovih praznovanjih; toda ne ozirajo se na Gospodovo delo niti ne preudarijo delovanja njegovih rok.
At their feasts you have lyres and harps, tambourines and flutes, and wine, but you don't ever consider what the Lord is doing, and you don't recognize his help.
13 Zato je moje ljudstvo odšlo v ujetništvo, ker nimajo spoznanja. Njihovi častitljivi možje so izstradani in njihova množica izsušena z žejo.
As a result my people will be exiled for their lack of understanding. Their honored leaders will starve, and the crowds will be dying of thirst.
14 Zato se bo pekel povečal in svoja usta odprl brez mere. Njihova slava, njihova množica, njihov pomp in kdor se razveseljuje, se bo pogreznil vanj. (Sheol h7585)
The grave's appetite increases, its mouth opens wide, and Jerusalem's nobility and the masses will go down into it, along with the rowdy, drunken mobs. (Sheol h7585)
15 Zloben človek bo priveden dol, mogočen človek bo ponižan in oči vzvišenih bodo ponižane,
Everyone will be brought down, everyone will be humbled; the proud will lower their eyes in humiliation.
16 toda Gospod nad bojevniki bo povišan na sodbi in Bog, ki je svet, bo posvečen v pravičnosti.
But the Lord Almighty will be vindicated because he does what is right; the holy God will be shown to be holy because of his goodness.
17 Potem se bodo jagnjeta pasla po svoji navadi in opustošene kraje debelih bodo pojedli tujci.
Lambs will graze as in their own pasture; fattened livestock and goats will feed among the ruins of the rich.
18 Gorje tistim, ki krivičnost vlečejo z vrvmi ničnosti in greh vlečejo, kakor bi bilo z garami;
Tragedy is coming to you who pull along your sins behind you with iniquity with cords made of lies, and pulling with ropes a cartful of wickedness.
19 ki pravijo: ›Naj pohiti in pospeši svoje delo, da bomo to lahko videli in naj se nasvet Svetega Izraelovega približa in pride, da bomo to lahko vedeli!
You are among the people who say, “God should hurry up! Why doesn't God get a move on with what he's doing so we can see it? Why doesn't the Holy One of Israel execute his plan? Let's see it happen so we can understand what it is!”
20 Gorje tistim, ki imenujejo zlo dobro in dobro zlo, ki postavljajo temo za svetlobo in svetlobo za temo, ki postavljajo grenko za sladko in sladko za grenko!
Tragedy is coming to you who say evil is good, and good is evil; who turn darkness into light and light into darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.
21 Gorje tistim, ki so modri v svojih lastnih očeh in razsodni v svojem lastnem pogledu!
Tragedy is coming to you who are wise in your own eyes and think you're so clever.
22 Gorje tistim, ki so mogočni, da pijejo vino in možje moči, da mešajo močno pijačo,
Tragedy is coming to you who are wine-drinking champions, and experts at mixing alcoholic drinks;
23 ki za nagrado opravičijo zlobne in pravičnost pravičnega odvzamejo od njega!
you who set the guilty free for a bribe, and yet deny justice to the innocent.
24 Zatorej kakor ogenj požira strnišče in plamen použiva pleve, tako bo njihova korenina kakor gniloba in njihov cvet se bo dvigal gor kakor prah, ker so odvrgli postavo Gospoda nad bojevniki in prezirali besedo Svetega Izraelovega.
In the same way fire burns up stubble and dry grass falls down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers disintegrate into dust. For they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty, and have treated with contempt what the Holy One of Israel has said.
25 Zato je Gospodova jeza vžgana zoper njegovo ljudstvo in svojo roko je iztegnil zoper njih in jih udaril in hribi so trepetali in njihova trupla so bila raztrgana na sredi ulic. Zaradi vsega tega njegova jeza ni odvrnjena, temveč je njegova roka še vedno iztegnjena.
That's why the Lord burns with anger against his people. He has lifted up his hand and hit them, shaking the mountains, and leaving their corpses lying like refuse in the streets. Despite all this, his anger is not finished, and his hand is still lifted up.
26 Dvignil bo zastavo narodom iz daljave in požvižgal jim bo od konca zemlje. Glej, naglo bodo prišli s hitrostjo.
He will send a signal to the distant nations, and will whistle for those living at the ends of the earth. See how quickly they respond, how speedily they come!
27 Nihče izmed njih ne bo izmučen niti se ne bo spotaknil; nihče ne bo dremal, niti spal, niti pas njihovih ledij ne bo popuščen, niti jermen njihovih čevljev pretrgan.
None of them gets tired or stumbles; none of them rests or sleeps. No belt comes loose, and no sandal strap breaks.
28 Katerih puščice so ostre in vsi njihovi loki napeti, kopita njihovih konj bodo šteta kakor kremen in njihova kolesa kakor vrtinčast veter.
Their arrows are already sharpened, and all their bows have been strung. The hooves of their horses are hard as flint; their chariot wheels spin like a whirlwind.
29 Njihovo rjovenje bo podobno levu, rjoveli bodo kakor mladi levi. Da, rjoveli bodo, zgrabili plen in ga varno odnesli proč in nihče ga ne bo osvobodil.
They roar like lions, like young lions. They growl, and pounce on their prey. They drag it off so it can't be rescued.
30 Na ta dan bodo besneli zoper njih, kakor besni morje in če nekdo pogleda na deželo, zagleda temo in bridkost in svetloba otemni v njegovem nebu.
At that time they will roar over their prey like the roaring of the sea. Anyone who looks out over the land will see only darkness and distress—even the sunlight will be darkened by clouds.
