< 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, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in a fruitful 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.
And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it [with] a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
3 In sedaj, oh prebivalci Jeruzalema in možje iz Juda, sodite, prosim vas, med menoj in mojim vinogradom.
And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man of Judah, Judge, I pray you, 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 — to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad 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.
And now, pray, let me cause you to know, That which I am doing to my vineyard, To turn aside its hedge, And it hath been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it hath been for a treading-place.
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.
And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.
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.
Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a cry.
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!
Woe [to] those joining house to house, Field to field they bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
9 V moja ušesa je Gospod nad bojevniki rekel: »Resnično, mnogo hiš bo zapuščenih, celó velike in lepe, brez prebivalca.«
By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant!
10 Da, deset oralov vinograda bo obrodilo en čeber in seme enega tovora bo obrodilo škaf.
For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth an ephah.
11 Gorje tistim, ki vstajajo zgodaj zjutraj, da lahko sledijo močni pijači; to nadaljujejo do večera, dokler jih vino ne vname!
Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them!
12 Harfa, lira, bobnič, piščal in vino so na njihovih praznovanjih; toda ne ozirajo se na Gospodovo delo niti ne preudarijo delovanja njegovih rok.
And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.
13 Zato je moje ljudstvo odšlo v ujetništvo, ker nimajo spoznanja. Njihovi častitljivi možje so izstradani in njihova množica izsušena z žejo.
Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honourable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up 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 )
Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one — into her. (Sheol )
15 Zloben človek bo priveden dol, mogočen človek bo ponižan in oči vzvišenih bodo ponižane,
And bowed down is the low, and humbled the high, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
16 toda Gospod nad bojevniki bo povišan na sodbi in Bog, ki je svet, bo posvečen v pravičnosti.
And Jehovah of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
17 Potem se bodo jagnjeta pasla po svoji navadi in opustošene kraje debelih bodo pojedli tujci.
And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.
18 Gorje tistim, ki krivičnost vlečejo z vrvmi ničnosti in greh vlečejo, kakor bi bilo z garami;
Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart — sin.
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!
Who are saying, 'Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.'
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!
Woe [to] those saying to evil 'good,' And to good 'evil,' Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
21 Gorje tistim, ki so modri v svojih lastnih očeh in razsodni v svojem lastnem pogledu!
Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And — before their own faces — intelligent!
22 Gorje tistim, ki so mogočni, da pijejo vino in možje moči, da mešajo močno pijačo,
Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
23 ki za nagrado opravičijo zlobne in pravičnost pravičnega odvzamejo od njega!
Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
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.
Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.
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.
Therefore hath the anger of Jehovah burned among His people, And He stretcheth out His hand against it, And smiteth it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcase is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
26 Dvignil bo zastavo narodom iz daljave in požvižgal jim bo od konca zemlje. Glej, naglo bodo prišli s hitrostjo.
And He lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And lo, with haste, swift it cometh.
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.
There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not slumber, nor sleep, Nor opened hath been the girdle of its loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its sandals.
28 Katerih puščice so ostre in vsi njihovi loki napeti, kopita njihovih konj bodo šteta kakor kremen in njihova kolesa kakor vrtinčast veter.
Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of its horses as flint have been reckoned, And its wheels as a hurricane!
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.
Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roareth like young lions, And it howleth, and seizeth prey, And carrieth away safely, and there is none delivering.
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.
And it howleth against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it hath looked attentively to the land, And lo, darkness — distress, And light hath been darkened by its abundance!
