Izaija 63
1 »Kdo je ta, ki prihaja iz Edóma, s pobarvanimi oblekami iz Bocre? Ta, ki je veličasten v svojem oblačilu, potujoč v veličini svoje moči?« »Jaz, ki govorim v pravičnosti, močan, da rešim.«
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bosra, this beautiful one in his robe, walking in the greatness of his strength. I, that speak justice, and am a defender to save.
2 »Zakaj si rdeč v svojem oblačilu in so tvoje obleke podobne tistemu, ki tlači v vinski kadi?«
Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress?
3 Sam sem tlačil vinsko stiskalnico in izmed ljudstva ni bilo nikogar z menoj, kajti jaz jih bom pomendral v svoji jezi in jih poteptal v svoji razjarjenosti in njihova kri bo poškropljena na moje obleke in omadeževal si bom vse svoje oblačilo.
I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me: I have trampled on them in my indignation, and have trodden them down in my wrath, and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my apparel.
4 Kajti dan maščevanja je v mojem srcu in leto mojih odkupljenih je prišlo.
For the day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come.
5 Pogledal sem in nikogar ni bilo, da pomaga in čudil sem se, da ni bilo nikogar, da podpre. Zato mi je moj lastni laket prinesel rešitev duše in moja razjarjenost me je podpirala.
I looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid: and my own arm hath saved for me, and my indignation itself hath helped me.
6 V svoji jezi bom pomendral ljudstvo in jih opijanil v svoji razjarjenosti in njihovo moč bom privedel dol do zemlje.
And I have trodden down the people in my wrath, and have made them drunk in my indignation, and have brought down their strength to the earth.
7 Omenil bom Gospodove ljubeče skrbnosti in Gospodove hvalnice, glede na vse, kar je Gospod podelil na nas in veliko dobroto do Izraelove hiše, ki jo je podelil nanje, glede na njegova usmiljenja in glede na množino njegovih ljubečih skrbnosti.
I will remember the tender mercies of the Lord, the praise of the Lord for all the things that the Lord hath bestowed upon us, and for the multitude of his good things to the house of Israel, which he hath given them according to his kindness, and according to the multitude of his mercies.
8 Kajti rekel je: »Zagotovo so moje ljudstvo, otroci, ki ne bodo lagali.« Tako je bil njihov Odrešenik.
And he said: Surely they are my people, children that will not deny: so he became their saviour.
9 V vsej njihovi stiski je bil stiskan in angel njegove prisotnosti jih je rešil. V svoji ljubezni in svojem usmiljenju jih je odkupil in nosil jih je in prenašal vse dni davnine.
In all their affliction he was not troubled, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love, and in his mercy he redeemed them, and he carried them and lifted them up all the days of old.
10 Toda uprli so se in jezili njegovega Svetega Duha, zato se je obrnil, da bi bil njihov sovražnik in se boril proti njim.
But they provoked to wrath, and afflicted the spirit of his Holy One: and he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
11 Potem se je spomnil dni davnine, Mojzesa in njegovega ljudstva, rekoč: »Kje je tisti, ki jih je s pastirjem svojega tropa privedel iz morja? Kje je tisti, ki je znotraj njega položil svojega Svetega Duha?
And he remembered the days of old of Moses, and of his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put in the midst of them the spirit of his Holy One?
12 Ki jih je vodil z Mojzesovo desnico, svojim veličastnim laktom, razdeljujoč vode pred njimi, da si naredi večno ime?
He that brought out Moses by the right hand, by the arm of his majesty: that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name.
13 Ki jih je vodil skozi globino kakor konja v divjini, da se ne bi spotaknili?
He that led them out through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness that stumbleth not.
14 Kakor gre žival dol v dolino, mu je Gospodov Duh naklonil, da počiva. Tako si vodil svoje ljudstvo, da si narediš veličastno ime.
As a beast that goeth down in the field, the spirit of the Lord was their leader: so didst thou lead thy people to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Poglej dol iz nebes in glej iz prebivališča svoje svetosti in svoje slave. Kje je tvoja gorečnost in tvoja moč, odzvanjanje tvoje notranjosti in tvoja usmiljenja do mene? Ali so zadržana?
Look down from heaven, and behold from thy holy habitation and the place of thy glory: where is thy zeal, and thy strength, the multitude of thy bowels, and of thy mercies? they have held back themselves from me.
16 Nedvomno si ti naš oče, čeprav je Abraham neveden o nas in nas Izrael ne prizna. Ti, oh Gospod, si naš oče, naš odkupitelj; tvoje ime je od vekomaj.
For thou art our father, and Abraham hath not known us, and Israel hath been ignorant of us: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer, from everlasting is thy name.
17 Oh Gospod, zakaj si nam povzročil, da zaidemo s tvojih poti in si naše srce zakrknil pred tvojim strahom? Vrni se zaradi svojih služabnikov, rodov svoje dediščine.
Why hast thou made us to err, O Lord, from thy ways: why hast thou hardened our heart, that we should not fear thee? return for the sake of thy servants, the tribes of thy inheritance.
18 Ljudstvo tvoje svetosti ga je imelo v lasti le kratek čas. Naši nasprotniki so pomendrali tvoje svetišče.
They have possessed thy holy people as nothing: our enemies have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 Mi smo tvoji. Nikoli nisi vladal nad njimi; niso bili imenovani s tvojim imenom.
We are become as in the beginning, when thou didst not rule over us, and when we were not called by thy name.
