Izaija 1
1 Videnje Amócovega sina Izaija, ki ga je videl glede Juda in Jeruzalema v dneh Uzíjaha, Jotáma, Aháza in Ezekíja, Judovih kraljev.
The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Prisluhnite, oh nebesa in pazljivo prisluhni, oh zemlja, kajti Gospod je spregovoril: »Hranil in vzgojil sem otroke, oni pa so se uprli zoper mene.
Hear, heavens, and give ear, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children, but they have rebelled against me.
3 Vol pozna svojega lastnika in osel jasli svojega gospodarja, toda Izrael ne pozna, moje ljudstvo ne preudari.
The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's feeding trough, but Israel does not know, Israel does not understand.”
4 Ah, grešen narod, ljudstvo, obloženo s krivičnostjo, seme hudodelcev, otroci, ki so izprijenci. Zapustili so Gospoda, izzivali so Svetega Izraelovega k jezi, odvrnili so se nazaj.
Woe! Nation, sinners, a people weighed down with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned Yahweh, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they have estranged themselves from him.
5 Zakaj naj bi bili še udarjani? Spuntali se boste bolj in bolj. Celotna glava je bolna in celotno srce slabi.
Why are you still being beaten? Why do you rebel more and more? The whole head is sick, the whole heart is weak.
6 Od podplata stopala celo do glave ni zdravja na njem, temveč rane, modrice in gnojne rane; te niso bile zaprte niti obvezane niti ublažene z mazilom.
From the sole of the foot to the head there is no part unharmed; only wounds, and bruises, and fresh open wounds; they have not been closed, cleansed, bandaged, nor treated with oil.
7 Vaša dežela je zapuščena, vaša mesta so požgana z ognjem. Vaša dežela, tujci jo požirajo v vaši prisotnosti in ta je zapuščena, kakor premagana s tujci.
Your country is ruined; your cities are burned; your fields—in your presence, strangers are destroying them— abandoned devastation, overthrown by strangers.
8 Hči sionska je ostala kakor koča v vinogradu, kakor lopa na kumaričnem vrtu, kakor oblegano mesto.«
The daughter of Zion is left like a hut in a vineyard, like a shed in a garden of cucumbers, like a besieged city.
9 Razen, če nam Gospod nad bojevniki ne bi pustil zelo majhnega ostanka, bi bili kakor Sódoma in podobni bi bili Gomóri.
If Yahweh of hosts had not left for us a small remnant, we would have been like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.
10 Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi sódomski vladarji, pazljivo prisluhnite postavi našega Boga, ljudstvo gomórsko.
Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah:
11 »Za kakšen namen mi je množica vaših klavnih daritev?« govori Gospod: »Sit sem žgalnih daritev ovnov in tolšče pitanih živali in ne razveseljujem se v krvi bikcev ali jagnjet ali kozlov.
“What is the multitude of your sacrifices to me?” says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fatted beasts; and in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats I do not delight.
12 Ko prihajate, da se pojavite pred menoj, kdo je to zahteval iz vaše roke, da teptate moje dvore?
When you come to appear before me, who has required this of you, to trample my courts?
13 Ne prinašajte več praznih daritev; kadilo mi je ogabnost. Mlajev in šabat, sklicevanja zborov ne morem prenašati; to je krivičnost, celo slovesno srečanje.
Bring no more meaningless offerings; incense is an abomination to me; your new moon and Sabbath assemblies—I cannot tolerate these wicked assemblies.
14 Vaše mlaje in vaše določene praznike sovraži moja duša. Le-ti so mi obremenitev, naveličal sem se jih prenašati.
I hate your new moons and your appointed feasts; they are a burden to me; I am tired of enduring them.
15 Ko svoje roke iztezate naprej, bom pred vami skril svoje oči. Da, ko opravljate številne molitve, ne bom poslušal. Vaše roke so polne krvi.
So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even though you offer many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
16 Umijte se, očistite se. Odstranite zlo svojih dejanj izpred mojih oči, prenehajte početi zlo.
Wash, cleanse yourselves; remove the evil of your deeds from my sight; stop being evil;
17 Naučite se delati dobro, iščite sodbo, olajšajte zatirane, sodite osirotele, potegujte se za vdovo.
learn to do good; seek justice, make straight the oppression, give justice to the fatherless, defend the widow.”
18 Pridite torej in skupaj preudarimo, « govori Gospod, »čeprav bi bili vaši grehi kakor škrlat, bodo tako beli kakor sneg; čeprav bi bili rdeči, podobni škrlatnemu [črvu], bodo kakor volna.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh; “though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white like snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.
19 Če boste voljni in poslušni, boste jedli dobro od dežele.
If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land,
20 Toda če odklonite in se uprete, boste požrti z mečem, kajti Gospodova usta so to govorila.
but if you refuse and rebel, the sword will devour you,” for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
21 Kako je zvesto mesto postalo pocestnica! Bila je polna sodbe, pravičnost je bila nastanjena v njej, toda sedaj morilci.
How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She who was full of justice—she was full of righteousness, but now she is full of murderers.
22 Tvoje srebro je postalo žlindra, tvoje vino pomešano z vodo,
Your silver has become impure, your wine mixed with water.
23 tvoji princi so uporni in družabniki tatov. Vsakdo izmed njih ljubi darila in sledi podkupninam. Osirotelega ne branijo niti pravda vdov ne pride k njim.«
Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes and runs after payoffs. They do not defend the fatherless, nor does the widow's legal plea come before them.
24 Zato govori Gospod, Gospod nad bojevniki, Mogočni Izraelov: »Ah, žal mi bo mojih nasprotnikov in maščeval se bom nad svojimi sovražniki
Therefore this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Woe to them! I will take vengeance against my adversaries, and avenge myself against my enemies;
25 in svojo roko bom obrnil nadte in z lugom temeljito očistil proč tvojo žlindro in odvzel ves tvoj kositer
I will turn my hand against you, refine away your dross as with lye, and take away all your dross.
26 in povrnil bom tvoje sodnike kakor poprej in tvoje svetovalce, kakor na začetku. Potem boš imenovana: ›Mesto pravičnosti, zvesto mesto.‹
I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning; after that you will be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.”
27 Sion bo odkupljen s sodbo in njegovi spreobrnjenci s pravičnostjo.
Zion will be redeemed by justice, and her repentant ones by righteousness.
28 Uničenje prestopnikov in grešnikov bo hkratno in tisti, ki zapustijo Gospoda, bodo použiti.
Rebels and sinners will be crushed together, and those who abandon Yahweh will be done away with.
29 Kajti sramovali se bodo hrastov, ki ste jih želeli in zbegani boste zaradi vrtov, ki ste jih izbrali.
“For you will be ashamed of the sacred oak trees that you desired, and you will be embarrassed by the gardens that you have chosen.
30 Kajti vi boste kakor hrast, čigar list oveni in kakor vrt, ki nima vode.
For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water.
31 Močni bo kakor predivo in njegov izdelovalec kakor iskra in skupaj bosta sežgana in nihče ju ne bo pogasil.«
The strong man will be like tinder, and his work like a spark; they will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”
