< 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 am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see 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 day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after 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 on 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 spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, 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, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all 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 repay, yes, I will repay 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 the LORD, “who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their 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.
The LORD says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, 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.
I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will dwell there.
10 Šarón bo staja tropov in dolina Ahór kraj za črede, da se uležejo, za moje ljudstvo, ki me je iskalo.
Sharon will 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 you who forsake the LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed 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 you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t 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 the Lord GOD says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.
14 Glejte, moji služabniki bodo prepevali zaradi srčne radosti, toda vi boste vpili zaradi bridkosti srca in tulili zaradi draženja duha.
Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit.
15 Svoje ime boste pustili za prekletstvo mojim izbranim, kajti Gospod Bog te bo ubil in svoje služabnike klical z drugim imenom,
You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord GOD will kill you. 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 will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden 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 will 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 glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight, 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.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.
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.
“No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
21 Gradili bodo hiše in jih poselili in posadili bodo vinograde ter jedli od njihovega sadu.
They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
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 will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will 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 will not labor in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of the LORD’s blessed and their descendants with them.
24 In zgodilo se bo, da bom odgovarjal, preden bodo klicali in medtem ko še govorijo, bom usliševal.
It will happen 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 will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.
