Izaija 33
1 Gorje tebi, ki pleniš, pa nisi bil oplenjen in postopaš zahrbtno, oni pa niso zahrbtno postopali s teboj! Ko boš prenehal pleniti, potem boš oplenjen in ko boš naredil konec zahrbtnemu postopanju, potem bodo zahrbtno postopali s teboj.
Woe to you who plunder! Will you yourselves not also be plundered? And woe to you who despise! Will you yourselves not also be despised? When you will have completed your plundering, you will be plundered. When, out of fatigue, you will have ceased acting with contempt, you will be treated with contempt.
2 Oh Gospod, bodi nam milostljiv, pričakovali smo te. Vsako jutro bodi njihov laket, tudi naša rešitev duše v času stiske.
O Lord, take pity on us. For we have waited for you. Be our arm in the morning and our salvation in the time of tribulation.
3 Ob hrupu upora je ljudstvo pobegnilo, ob tvojem vzdigovanju so bili narodi razkropljeni.
From the voice of the Angel, the people fled. And from your exultation, the nations were scattered.
4 Vaš plen bo zbran kakor zbiranje gosenice, kakor tekanje leteče kobilice sem ter tja bo on tekel nad njimi.
And your spoils will be gathered together, just as the locusts are collected when the ditches have become filled with them.
5 Gospod je povišan, kajti prebiva na višavi. Sion je napolnil s sodbo in pravičnostjo.
The Lord has been magnified, because he has lived on high. He has filled Zion with judgment and justice.
6 Modrost in spoznanje bosta stabilnost tvojih časov in moč rešitve duše. Gospodov strah je njegov zaklad.
And there will be faith in your times: the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. For the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
7 Glej, njihovi hrabri bodo zunaj vreščali. Predstavniki miru bodo grenko jokali.
Behold, outside, those who see will cry out. The Angels of peace will weep bitterly.
8 Glavne ceste ležijo zapuščene, popotnik peša. Prelomil je zavezo, preziral mesta, ne ozira se na nobenega človeka.
The roads have become desolate. Travelers have ceased along the paths. The covenant has been nullified. He has tossed aside cities. He has disregarded men.
9 Zemlja žaluje in peša. Libanon je osramočen in posekan. Šarón je podoben divjini in Bašán ter Karmel otresata svoje sadove.
The earth has mourned and languished. Lebanon has been confounded and desecrated. And Sharon has become like a desert. And Bashan and Carmel have been struck together.
10 »Sedaj bom vstal, « govori Gospod, »sedaj bom povišan, sedaj se bom dvignil.
“Now, I will rise up!” says the Lord. “Now I will be exalted! Now I will lift myself up!”
11 Spočeli boste pleve, rodili boste strnišče. Vaš dih vas bo pogoltnil kakor ogenj.
You will conceive heat. You will give birth to stubble. Your own spirit will devour you like fire.
12 Ljudstvo bo kakor gorenje žganega apna, kakor posekano trnje bodo sežgani v ognju.
And the people will be like the ashes from a fire. They will be consumed by fire like a bundle of thorns.
13 Prisluhnite vi, ki ste daleč proč, kaj sem storil in vi, ki ste blizu, priznajte mojo moč.
“You who are far away, listen to what I have done! And you who are near, acknowledge my strength!”
14 Grešniki na Sionu so prestrašeni, grozljivost je presenetila hinavce. Kdo izmed nas bo bival s požirajočim ognjem? Kdo izmed nas bo bival z večnimi gorenji?
The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling has taken hold of the hypocrites. Who among you is able to live with a devouring fire? Who among you will live with an everlasting flame?
15 Kdor hodi pravično in govori iskreno, kdor prezira dobiček zatiranj, ki otresa svoji roki pred tem, da bi držal podkupnine, ki si ušesa zatiska pred poslušanjem o krvi in zatiska svoje oči pred gledanjem zla;
The one who walks in justice and speaks the truth, who casts out avarice with oppression and shakes all bribes from his hands, who blocks his ears so that he may not listen to blood, and closes his eyes so that he may not see evil.
16 ta bo prebival na višavi. Njegov prostor obrambe bodo skalna oporišča. Dan mu bo kruh, njegove vode bodo zanesljive.
Such a one will live on high; the fortification of rocks will be his lofty place. Bread has been given to him; his waters are reliable.
17 Tvoje oči bodo videle kralja v njegovi lepoti. Gledale bodo deželo, ki je zelo daleč proč.
His eyes will see the king in his elegance; they will discern the land from far away.
18 Tvoje srce bo premišljevalo strahoto. Kje je pisar? Kje je prejemnik? Kje je tisti, ki je štel stolpe?
Your heart will meditate on fear. Where are the learned? Where are those who ponder the words of the law? Where are the teachers of little ones?
19 Ne boš videl krutega ljudstva, ljudstva globljega govora, kakor ga lahko zaznaš, jecljajočega jezika, ki ga ne moreš razumeti.
You will not look upon a shameless people, a people of exalted words. For you are not able to understand the dissertation of a tongue in which there is no wisdom.
20 Poglej na Sion, mesto naših slovesnosti. Tvoje oči bodo videle Jeruzalem, tiho prebivališče, šotor, ki ne bo porušen; niti eden izmed njegovih klinov ne bo nikoli odstranjen niti nobena izmed njegovih vrvi pretrgana.
Look with favor upon Zion, the city of our solemnity. Your eyes will behold Jerusalem: an opulent habitation, a tabernacle that can never be taken away. Its stakes will not be taken away forever, nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 Toda tam nam bo veličasten Gospod kraj širokih rek in vodotokov, kamor ne bo plula galeja z vesli niti čedna ladja ne bo plula mimo.
For only in that place has our Lord been magnified. It is a place of rivers, very broad and open. No ship with oars will cross through it, nor will the great Greek ship pass through it.
22 Kajti Gospod je naš sodnik, Gospod je naš zakonodajalec, Gospod je naš kralj, on nas bo rešil.
For the Lord is our judge. The Lord is our lawgiver. The Lord is our king. He himself will save us.
23 Tvoja ladijska oprema je odvezana; ne morejo dobro ojačati jambora, ne morejo razpeti jadra. Potem je plen velikega ukradenega blaga razdeljen; hromi pobira plen.
Your ropes have become loose, and they will not prevail. Your mast will be such that you will not be able to unfurl a flag. Then the spoils of much plunder will be divided. The lame will seize the spoils.
24 Prebivalec ne bo rekel: »Bolan sem.« Ljudstvu, ki tam prebiva, bo odpuščena njihova krivičnost.
He who is nearby will not say: “I am too weak.” The people who live in it will have their iniquity taken away from them.
