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?
The LORD says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I 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 my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says the LORD: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
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.
He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights 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 delusions, and will bring their fears on them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen, but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
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 LORD’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.
6 Glas hrupa iz mesta, glas iz templja, glas Gospoda, ki vrača povračilo svojim sovražnikom.
A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that repays his enemies what they deserve.
7 Preden je bila v porodnih mukah, je rodila, preden je prišla njena bolečina, je rodila fantka.
“Before she travailed, she gave birth. Before her pain came, she delivered a son.
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 of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she gave birth to 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.
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says the LORD. “Shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” 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 with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who 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 nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance 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 the LORD says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream, and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
13 Kakor nekdo, ki ga njegova mati tolaži, tako bom jaz potolažil vas in v Jeruzalemu boste potolaženi.
As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you. You will 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.
You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. The LORD’s hand will be known amongst his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
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 with fire, and his chariots will be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Kajti z ognjem in s svojim mečem se bo Gospod pravdal z vsem mesom in mnogo bo umorjenih od Gospoda.
For the LORD will execute judgement by fire and by his sword on all flesh; and those slain by the LORD will be many.
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.
“Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, following one in the middle, eating pig’s meat, abominable things, and the mouse, they shall come to an end 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.
“For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes that I will gather all nations and languages, and they will come, and will 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.
“I will set a sign amongst them, and I will send those who escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to far-away islands, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory amongst the nations.
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.
They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the LORD’s house.
21 Tudi od njih [jih] bom vzel za duhovnike in za Lévijevce, ‹ govori Gospod.
Of them I will also select 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 heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says the LORD, “so your offspring and your name shall remain.
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.
It shall happen that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before me,” 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.‹«
“They will go out, and look at the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
