< Izaija 65 >
1 Poiskan sem od tistih, ki niso spraševali po meni; najden sem od tistih, ki me niso iskali: »Rekel sem: ›Glejte me, glejte me, ‹« narodu, ki ni bil klican po mojem imenu.
I was manifested by those who did not ask for me. I am found by those who did not seek me. I said, Behold me, behold me, to a nation that was not called by my name.
2 Svoje roke sem ves dan razprostiral k upornemu ljudstvu, ki hodi po poti, ki ni bila dobra, po svojih lastnih mislih
I have spread out my hands all the day to a disobedient and rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, according to their own thoughts,
3 in ljudstvu, ki me nenehno draži do jeze v moj obraz, ki žrtvuje na vrtovih in zažiga kadilo na oltarjih iz opek,
a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks,
4 ki se zadržuje med grobovi in prenočuje v spomenikih, ki jé svinjsko meso in juha iz gnusnih stvari je v njihovih posodah,
who sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places, who eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels,
5 ki pravijo: »Stoj zase, ne približaj se mi, kajti bolj svet sem kakor ti.« Ti so dim v mojem nosu, ogenj, ki ves dan gori.
who say, Stand by thyself, do not come near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
6 Glej, to je zapisano pred menoj. Ne bom molčal, temveč bom poplačal, celo poplačal v njihovo naročje
Behold, it is written before me. I will not keep silence, but will recompense. Yea, I will recompense into their bosom
7 vaše krivičnosti in krivičnosti vaših očetov skupaj, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ki so zažigali kadilo na gorah in zoper mene izrekali bogokletje na hribih, zato bom njihovo prejšnje delo odmeril v njihovo naročje.‹
your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says Jehovah, those who have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills. Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.
8 Tako govori Gospod: ›Kakor je novo vino najti v grozdu in nekdo pravi: ›Ne uniči ga, kajti blagoslov je v njem, ‹ tako bom jaz storil zaradi svojih služabnikov, da jih ne bi vse uničil.
Thus says Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and a man says, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it, so I will do for my servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all.
9 Privedel bom seme iz Jakoba in iz Juda dediča svojih gora in moj izvoljeni bo to podedoval in moji služabniki bodo tam prebivali.
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. And my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 Šarón bo staja tropov in dolina Ahór kraj za črede, da se uležejo, za moje ljudstvo, ki me je iskalo.
And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
11 Toda vi ste tisti, ki zapuščate Gospoda, ki pozabljate mojo sveto goro, ki pripravljate mizo za to krdelo in ki pripravljate pitno daritev temu številu.
But ye who forsake Jehovah, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mingled wine to Destiny,
12 Zato vas bom štel k meču in vsi se boste priklonili za zakol, ker ko sem klical niste odgovorili, ko sem govoril niste slišali, temveč ste počeli zlo pred mojimi očmi in izbirali to, v čemer se nisem razveseljeval.‹
I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter. Because when I called, ye did not answer, when I spoke, ye did not hear, but ye did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight.
13 Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Glejte, moji služabniki bodo jedli, toda vi boste lačni. Glejte, moji služabniki bodo pili, toda vi boste žejni. Glejte, moji služabniki se bodo veselili, toda vi boste osramočeni.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry. Behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty. Behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be put to shame.
14 Glejte, moji služabniki bodo prepevali zaradi srčne radosti, toda vi boste vpili zaradi bridkosti srca in tulili zaradi draženja duha.
Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.
15 Svoje ime boste pustili za prekletstvo mojim izbranim, kajti Gospod Bog te bo ubil in svoje služabnike klical z drugim imenom,
And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the lord Jehovah will kill thee. And he will call his servants by another name,
16 da se bo tisti, ki se blagoslavlja na zemlji, blagoslavljal v Bogu resnice in kdor prisega na zemlji, bo prisegal pri Bogu resnice, kajti prejšnje težave so pozabljene in ker so skrite pred mojimi očmi.
so that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth, and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth. Because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.
17 Kajti glej, ustvarim novo nebo in novo zemljo in prejšnjega se ne bo spominjalo niti ne bo prišlo v misli.
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 Toda bodite veseli in se na veke veselite tega, kar ustvarim. Kajti glejte, [prestolnico] Jeruzalem ustvarim za razveseljevanje in njeno ljudstvo za radost.
But be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I create. For, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 Razveseljeval se bom v [prestolnici] Jeruzalem in se veselil v svojem ljudstvu. Glasu jokanja ne bo več slišati v njej niti glasu vpitja.
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people. And there shall no more be heard in her the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.
20 Tam ne bo več otročička po dnevih niti starca, ki ne bi izpolnil svojih dni, kajti otrok bo umrl star sto let, toda grešnik, ki bo star sto let, bo preklet.
There shall be no more from there an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled his days. For the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 Gradili bodo hiše in jih poselili in posadili bodo vinograde ter jedli od njihovega sadu.
And they shall build houses, and inhabit them. And they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 Ne bodo gradili in drug naselil, ne bodo sadili in drug jedel, kajti kakor so dnevi drevesa, so dnevi mojega ljudstva in moji izvoljeni bodo dolgo uživali delo svojih rok.
They shall not build, and another inhabit. They shall not plant, and another eat. For as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 Ne bodo se trudili zaman niti rojevali za težavo, kajti oni so seme blagoslovljenih od Gospoda in njihovo potomstvo z njimi.
They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity. For they are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them.
24 In zgodilo se bo, da bom odgovarjal, preden bodo klicali in medtem ko še govorijo, bom usliševal.
And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 Volk in jagnje se bosta skupaj pasla, lev bo jedel slamo kakor bikec in prah bo hrana kači. Ne bodo škodovali niti uničevali na vsej moji sveti gori, ‹ govori Gospod.«
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says Jehovah.
