Isaiah 66
1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build to me? and where [is] the place of my rest?
»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?
2 For all these [things] hath my hand made, and all these [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this man [will] I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
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.
3 He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as if he offered] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he blessed an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
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.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose [that] in which I delighted not.
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.‹
5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
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.‹
6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
Glas hrupa iz mesta, glas iz templja, glas Gospoda, ki vrača povračilo svojim sovražnikom.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a male child.
Preden je bila v porodnih mukah, je rodila, preden je prišla njena bolečina, je rodila fantka.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
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.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? saith thy God.
Mar bom privedel do rojstva in ne bom povzročil, da rodi?‹ govori Gospod: ›Mar bom povzročil, da rodi in zaprl maternico?‹ govori tvoj Bog.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
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,
11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may draw milk, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
da boste lahko sesali in boste nasičeni s prsi njenih tolažb, da boste srkali in boste veseli z obiljem njene slave, ‹
12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon [her] sides, and be dandled upon [her] knees.
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.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Kakor nekdo, ki ga njegova mati tolaži, tako bom jaz potolažil vas in v Jeruzalemu boste potolaženi.
14 And when ye see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known towards his servants, and [his] indignation towards his enemies.
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.
15 For behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
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.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
Kajti z ognjem in s svojim mečem se bo Gospod pravdal z vsem mesom in mnogo bo umorjenih od Gospoda.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
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.
18 For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
Kajti poznam njihova dela in njihove misli. Zgodilo se bo, da bom zbral vse narode in jezike in prišli bodo in videli mojo slavo.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them to the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
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.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering to the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
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.
21 And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith the LORD.
Tudi od njih [jih] bom vzel za duhovnike in za Lévijevce, ‹ govori Gospod.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
›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.
23 And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
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.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh.
›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.‹«
