Izaija 25

1 Oh Gospod, ti si moj Bog; poviševal te bom, hvalil bom tvoje ime, kajti storil si čudovite stvari; tvoji nasveti od davnine so zvestoba in resnica.

The LORD, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.

2 Kajti iz mesta si naredil kup; iz obrambnega mesta razvalino, da palača tujcev ni več mesto; ta ne bo nikoli zgrajena.

For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city. It will never be built.

3 Zato te bo močno ljudstvo proslavljalo in mesto strašnih narodov se te bo balo.

Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.

4 Kajti bil si moč revnim, moč pomoči potrebnim v njihovi tegobi, zatočišče pred viharjem, senca pred vročino, ko je udar strahovitežev kakor vihar proti zidu.

For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.

5 Hrup tujcev boš ponižal kakor vročino na suhem kraju, celó vročino s senco oblaka; mladika strahovitežev bo ponižana.

As the heat in a dry place you will bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.

6 Na tej gori bo Gospod nad bojevniki vsem ljudstvom pripravil praznovanje mastnih stvari, praznovanje vin na drožeh, mastnih stvari, polnih mozga, dobro prečiščenih, dolgo hranjenih vin.

In this mountain, the LORD of Hosts will make all peoples a feast of choice meat, a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.

7 Na tej gori bo uničil obličje zagrinjala, vrženega nad vsa ljudstva in zagrinjalo, ki je razprostrto nad vsemi narodi.

He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.

8 V zmagi bo pogoltnil smrt. Gospod Bog bo obrisal solze iz vseh obrazov in sramoto svojega ljudstva bo vzel proč iz vse zemlje, kajti Gospod je to govoril.

He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for the LORD has spoken it.

9 Na ta dan bo rečeno: »Glejte! To je naš Bog; čakali smo nanj in on nas bo rešil. To je Gospod; čakali smo nanj, veseli bomo in se razveseljevali v njegovi rešitvi duše.«

It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is the LORD! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

10 Kajti na tej gori bo počivala Gospodova roka in Moáb bo pomendran pod njim, celo kakor je slama pomendrana za gnojišče.

For the LORD’s hand will rest in this mountain. Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.

11 Svoje roke bo razširil v njihovi sredi, kakor kdor plava razširja svoje roke za plavanje. Njihov ponos bo ponižal skupaj s pleni njihovih rok.

He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.

12 Trdnjavo visoke utrdbe tvojega obzidja bo ponižal, nizko položil in privedel k tlom, celó k prahu.

He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
