Izaija 66
1 »Tako govori Gospod: ›Nebo je moj prestol in zemlja je moja pručka. Kje je hiša, ki mi jo gradite? In kje je kraj mojega počitka?
Thus says the Lord, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of a house will you build me? and of what kind [is to be] the place of my rest?
2 Kajti vse te stvari je naredila moja roka in vse te stvari so bile, ‹ govori Gospod, ›toda gledal bom k temu človeku, celó k njemu, ki je reven in skesanega duha in trepeta ob moji besedi.
For all these things are mine, says the Lord: and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the [man] that trembles [at] my words?
3 Kdor kolje vola, je kakor če usmrti človeka; kdor žrtvuje jagnje, kakor če odseka pasji vrat; kdor daruje daritev kakor, če bi daroval svinjsko kri; kdor sežiga kadilo, kakor če bi blagoslovil malika. Da, izbrali so si svoje lastne poti in njihova duša se razveseljuje v njihovih ogabnostih.
But the transgressor that sacrifices a calf to me, is as he that kills a dog; and he that offers fine flour, as [one that offers] swine's blood; he that gives frankincense for a memorial, is as a blasphemer. Yet they have chosen their own ways, and their soul has delighted in their abominations.
4 Tudi jaz bom izbral njihove zablode in nanje privedel njihove strahove, ker ko sem klical nihče ni odgovoril, ko sem govoril niso poslušali, temveč so pred mojimi očmi počeli zlo in izbirali tisto, v čemer se nisem veselil.‹
I also will choose their mockeries, and will recompense their sins upon them; because I called them, and they did not listen to me; I spoke, and they heard not: and they did evil before me, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
5 Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo vi, ki trepetate ob njegovi besedi: ›Vaši bratje, ki so vas sovražili, ki so vas metali ven zaradi mojega imena, so rekli: ›Naj bo Gospod proslavljen.‹ Toda pojavil se bo v vašo radost, oni pa bodo osramočeni.‹
Hear the words of the Lord, you that tremble at his word; speak you, our brethren, to them that hate you and abominate you, that the name of the Lord may be glorified, and may appear their joy; but they shall be ashamed.
6 Glas hrupa iz mesta, glas iz templja, glas Gospoda, ki vrača povračilo svojim sovražnikom.
A voice of a cry from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord rendering recompence to [his] adversaries.
7 Preden je bila v porodnih mukah, je rodila, preden je prišla njena bolečina, je rodila fantka.
Before she that travailed brought forth, before the travail-pain came on, she escaped [it] and brought forth a male.
8 Kdo je slišal takšno stvar? Kdo je videl takšne stvari? Mar bo zemlja primorana, da rodi v enem dnevu? Ali bo narod hkrati rojen? Kajti takoj, ko je bila [hči] sionska v porodnih mukah, je rodila svoje otroke.
Who has heard such a thing? and who has seen after this manner? Has the earth travailed in one day? or has even a nation been born at once, that Sion has travailed, and brought forth her children?
9 Mar bom privedel do rojstva in ne bom povzročil, da rodi?‹ govori Gospod: ›Mar bom povzročil, da rodi in zaprl maternico?‹ govori tvoj Bog.
But I have raised this expectation, yet you have not remembered me, says the Lord: behold, have not I made the bearing and barren woman? says your God.
10 Veselite se s [prestolnico] Jeruzalem in bodite veseli z njo, vsi vi, ki jo ljubite. Veselite se zaradi radosti z njo, vsi vi, ki žalujete nad njo,
Rejoice, O Jerusalem, and all you that love her hold in her a general assembly: rejoice greatly with her, all that [now] mourn over her:
11 da boste lahko sesali in boste nasičeni s prsi njenih tolažb, da boste srkali in boste veseli z obiljem njene slave, ‹
that you may suck, and be satisfied with the breast of her consolation; that you may milk out, and delight yourselves with the influx of her glory.
12 kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Glejte, mir bom iztegnil k njej kakor reko in slavo poganov kakor tekoč vodotok. Potem boste sesali, nošeni boste na njenih straneh in ujčkani na njenih kolenih.
For thus says the Lord, Behold, I turn towards them as a river of peace, and as a torrent bringing upon them in a flood the glory of the Gentiles: their children shall be borne upon the shoulders, and comforted on the knees.
13 Kakor nekdo, ki ga njegova mati tolaži, tako bom jaz potolažil vas in v Jeruzalemu boste potolaženi.
As if his mother should comfort one, so will I also comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Ko to zagledate, se bo vaše srce veselilo in vaše kosti bodo cvetele kakor zelišče in Gospodova roka bo poznana njegovim služabnikom in njegovo ogorčenje proti njegovim sovražnikom.
And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall thrive like grass: and the hand of the Lord shall be known to them that fear him, and he shall threaten the disobedient.
15 Kajti glej, Gospod bo prišel z ognjem in s svojimi bojnimi vozovi kakor z vrtinčastim vetrom, da povrne svojo jezo z razjarjenostjo in svoje oštevanje s plameni ognja.
For, behold, the Lord will come as fire, and his chariots as a storm, to render his vengeance with wrath, and his rebuke with a flame of fire.
16 Kajti z ognjem in s svojim mečem se bo Gospod pravdal z vsem mesom in mnogo bo umorjenih od Gospoda.
For with the fire of the Lord all the earth shall be judged, and all flesh with his sword: many shall be slain by the Lord.
17 Tisti, ki se posvetijo in se očistijo na vrtovih za enim drevesom na sredi, jedoč svinjsko meso, ogabnost in miš, bodo skupaj použiti, ‹ govori Gospod.
They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens, and eat swine's flesh in the porches, and the abominations, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the Lord.
18 Kajti poznam njihova dela in njihove misli. Zgodilo se bo, da bom zbral vse narode in jezike in prišli bodo in videli mojo slavo.
And I [know] their works and their imagination. I am going to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
19 Med njimi bom postavil znamenje in poslal bom tiste, ki izmed njih pobegnejo k narodom, k Taršíšu, Pulu in Ludu, ki napenjajo lok, k Tubálu in Javánu, k oddaljenim otokom, ki niso slišali mojega slovesa niti niso videli moje slave in mojo slavo bodo razglašali med pogani.
And I will leave a sign upon them, and I will send forth them that have escaped of them to the nations, to Tharsis, and Phud, and Lud, and Mosoch, and to Thobel, and to Greece, and to the isles afar off, to those who have not heard my name, nor seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory amongst the Gentiles.
20 K moji sveti gori Jeruzalem bodo privedli vse vaše brate v dar Gospodu iz vseh narodov na konjih, bojnih vozovih, nosilnicah, na mulah in na hitrih živalih, ‹ govori Gospod, ›kakor Izraelovi otroci prinesejo daritev v čisti posodi v Gospodovo hišo.
And they shall bring your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord with horses, and chariots, in litters [drawn by] mules with awnings, to the holy city Jerusalem, said the Lord, as though the children of Israel should bring their sacrifices to me with psalms into the house of the Lord.
21 Tudi od njih [jih] bom vzel za duhovnike in za Lévijevce, ‹ govori Gospod.
And I will take of them priests and Levites, says the Lord.
22 ›Kajti kakor bosta novo nebo in nova zemlja, ki ju bom naredil, ostala pred menoj, ‹ govori Gospod, ›tako bo ostalo vaše seme in vaše ime.
For as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.
23 In zgodilo se bo, da bo od enega do drugega mlaja in od enega do drugega šabata, prišlo vse meso, da obožuje pred menoj, ‹ govori Gospod.
And it shall come to pass from month to month, and from sabbath to sabbath, [that] all flesh shall come to worship before me in Jerusalem, says the Lord.
24 ›Šli bodo naprej in gledali na trupla ljudi, ki so se pregrešili zoper mene, kajti njihov črv ne bo umrl niti njihov ogenj ne bo pogašen in gnus bodo vsemu mesu.‹«
And they shall go forth, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and they shall be a spectacle to all flesh.
