Isaiah 1
1 THE VISION of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Videnje Amócovega sina Izaija, ki ga je videl glede Juda in Jeruzalema v dneh Uzíjaha, Jotáma, Aháza in Ezekíja, Judovih kraljev.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD hath spoken: Children I have reared, and brought up, and they have rebelled against Me.
Prisluhnite, oh nebesa in pazljivo prisluhni, oh zemlja, kajti Gospod je spregovoril: »Hranil in vzgojil sem otroke, oni pa so se uprli zoper mene.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Israel doth not know, My people doth not consider.
Vol pozna svojega lastnika in osel jasli svojega gospodarja, toda Izrael ne pozna, moje ljudstvo ne preudari.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly; they have forsaken the LORD, they have contemned the Holy One of Israel, they are turned away backward.
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.
5 On what part will ye yet be stricken, seeing ye stray away more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;
Zakaj naj bi bili še udarjani? Spuntali se boste bolj in bolj. Celotna glava je bolna in celotno srce slabi.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and festering sores: they have not been pressed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.
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.
7 Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by floods.
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.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
Hči sionska je ostala kakor koča v vinogradu, kakor lopa na kumaričnem vrtu, kakor oblegano mesto.«
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Razen, če nam Gospod nad bojevniki ne bi pustil zelo majhnega ostanka, bi bili kakor Sódoma in podobni bi bili Gomóri.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi sódomski vladarji, pazljivo prisluhnite postavi našega Boga, ljudstvo gomórsko.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me? saith the LORD; I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
»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.
12 When ye come to appear before Me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample My courts?
Ko prihajate, da se pojavite pred menoj, kdo je to zahteval iz vaše roke, da teptate moje dvore?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; it is an offering of abomination unto Me; new moon and sabbath, the holding of convocations — I cannot endure iniquity along with the solemn assembly.
Ne prinašajte več praznih daritev; kadilo mi je ogabnost. Mlajev in šabat, sklicevanja zborov ne morem prenašati; to je krivičnost, celo slovesno srečanje.
14 Your new moons and your appointed seasons My soul hateth; they are a burden unto Me; I am weary to bear them.
Vaše mlaje in vaše določene praznike sovraži moja duša. Le-ti so mi obremenitev, naveličal sem se jih prenašati.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
Ko svoje roke iztezate naprej, bom pred vami skril svoje oči. Da, ko opravljate številne molitve, ne bom poslušal. Vaše roke so polne krvi.
16 Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes, cease to do evil;
Umijte se, očistite se. Odstranite zlo svojih dejanj izpred mojih oči, prenehajte početi zlo.
17 Learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Naučite se delati dobro, iščite sodbo, olajšajte zatirane, sodite osirotele, potegujte se za vdovo.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
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.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land;
Če boste voljni in poslušni, boste jedli dobro od dežele.
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken.
Toda če odklonite in se uprete, boste požrti z mečem, kajti Gospodova usta so to govorila.
21 How is the faithful city become a harlot! She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
Kako je zvesto mesto postalo pocestnica! Bila je polna sodbe, pravičnost je bila nastanjena v njej, toda sedaj morilci.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
Tvoje srebro je postalo žlindra, tvoje vino pomešano z vodo,
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth bribes, and followeth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
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.«
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will ease Me of Mine adversaries, and avenge Me of Mine enemies;
Zato govori Gospod, Gospod nad bojevniki, Mogočni Izraelov: »Ah, žal mi bo mojih nasprotnikov in maščeval se bom nad svojimi sovražniki
25 And I will turn My hand upon thee, and purge away thy dross as with lye, and will take away all thine alloy;
in svojo roko bom obrnil nadte in z lugom temeljito očistil proč tvojo žlindro in odvzel ves tvoj kositer
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
in povrnil bom tvoje sodnike kakor poprej in tvoje svetovalce, kakor na začetku. Potem boš imenovana: ›Mesto pravičnosti, zvesto mesto.‹
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they that return of her with righteousness.
Sion bo odkupljen s sodbo in njegovi spreobrnjenci s pravičnostjo.
28 But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
Uničenje prestopnikov in grešnikov bo hkratno in tisti, ki zapustijo Gospoda, bodo použiti.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
Kajti sramovali se bodo hrastov, ki ste jih želeli in zbegani boste zaradi vrtov, ki ste jih izbrali.
30 For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
Kajti vi boste kakor hrast, čigar list oveni in kakor vrt, ki nima vode.
31 And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
Močni bo kakor predivo in njegov izdelovalec kakor iskra in skupaj bosta sežgana in nihče ju ne bo pogasil.«
