Izaija 65
1 Poiskan sem od tistih, ki niso spraševali po meni; najden sem od tistih, ki me niso iskali: »Rekel sem: ›Glejte me, glejte me, ‹« narodu, ki ni bil klican po mojem imenu.
[This is what Yahweh said]: “I was ready to reply [to my people], but no one requested me [to help them]. I was ready to help [even] those who did not call out to me. I continued to say, ‘I am here [to help you]!’
2 Svoje roke sem ves dan razprostiral k upornemu ljudstvu, ki hodi po poti, ki ni bila dobra, po svojih lastnih mislih
[It is as though] I have continually held out my arms [to show that I am ready to help] my people who rebel [against me], and who [continually] do the evil things that they want to do.
3 in ljudstvu, ki me nenehno draži do jeze v moj obraz, ki žrtvuje na vrtovih in zažiga kadilo na oltarjih iz opek,
They boldly continue to do things that cause me to be angry: They offer sacrifices [to their idols] in their gardens, and they burn incense [to them] on [altars made of] bricks.
4 ki se zadržuje med grobovi in prenočuje v spomenikih, ki jé svinjsko meso in juha iz gnusnih stvari je v njihovih posodah,
They secretly remain awake at night in burial caves, [talking with the spirits of] ([dead people/their ancestors]). They eat the meat of pigs, and their pots are full of [other] meat that is [also] unacceptable to me.
5 ki pravijo: »Stoj zase, ne približaj se mi, kajti bolj svet sem kakor ti.« Ti so dim v mojem nosu, ogenj, ki ves dan gori.
[Then] they say [to others], ‘Stay away from me; do not come near me, because I am very holy, [with the result that you should not touch me].’ People like that are [like] [MET] smoke in my nose [from] a fire that burns continually.
6 Glej, to je zapisano pred menoj. Ne bom molčal, temveč bom poplačal, celo poplačal v njihovo naročje
I have written [a record of all the evil things that they have done]. And I will not do nothing about all those things; I will certainly punish them
7 vaše krivičnosti in krivičnosti vaših očetov skupaj, ‹ govori Gospod, ›ki so zažigali kadilo na gorah in zoper mene izrekali bogokletje na hribih, zato bom njihovo prejšnje delo odmeril v njihovo naročje.‹
for the sins that they and their ancestors have committed. They have mocked/insulted me by burning incense [to their idols] on the hilltops. So I will punish them like they deserve for doing those things.”
8 Tako govori Gospod: ›Kakor je novo vino najti v grozdu in nekdo pravi: ›Ne uniči ga, kajti blagoslov je v njem, ‹ tako bom jaz storil zaradi svojih služabnikov, da jih ne bi vse uničil.
This is [also] what Yahweh said: “When there is a cluster of nice grapes on a vine, people do not throw them away, because they know that there is good juice in those grapes. Similarly, because there are some people [in Judah] who faithfully serve/worship me, I will not get rid of all of them.
9 Privedel bom seme iz Jakoba in iz Juda dediča svojih gora in moj izvoljeni bo to podedoval in moji služabniki bodo tam prebivali.
I will spare some of the descendants of Jacob who are living on the hills of Judah. I have chosen them, and they will possess that land; they will worship/serve me, and they will live there.
10 Šarón bo staja tropov in dolina Ahór kraj za črede, da se uležejo, za moje ljudstvo, ki me je iskalo.
[Then all the land from the] Sharon [Plain near the Mediterranean Sea] and [as far east as] Achor Valley [near Jericho] will become pastureland where their cattle and sheep will rest.
11 Toda vi ste tisti, ki zapuščate Gospoda, ki pozabljate mojo sveto goro, ki pripravljate mizo za to krdelo in ki pripravljate pitno daritev temu številu.
But [it will be different] for you who have abandoned me, you who do not worship me on [Zion], my sacred hill, you who worship Gad and Meni, [the gods who you think will bring you] good luck and good fortune.
12 Zato vas bom štel k meču in vsi se boste priklonili za zakol, ker ko sem klical niste odgovorili, ko sem govoril niste slišali, temveč ste počeli zlo pred mojimi očmi in izbirali to, v čemer se nisem razveseljeval.‹
[It is I, not Meni, who will decide/say what will happen to you]; you will all [be slaughtered by] swords. [That will happen] because you did not answer when I called out to you. I spoke to you, but you did not pay attention. Instead, you did things that I said are evil; you chose to do things that do not please me.
13 Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Glejte, moji služabniki bodo jedli, toda vi boste lačni. Glejte, moji služabniki bodo pili, toda vi boste žejni. Glejte, moji služabniki se bodo veselili, toda vi boste osramočeni.
I, Yahweh the Lord, will give to those who worship and obey me things to eat and drink, and they will be happy; but [all] you evil people will be hungry and thirsty, and you will be [sad and] disgraced.
14 Glejte, moji služabniki bodo prepevali zaradi srčne radosti, toda vi boste vpili zaradi bridkosti srca in tulili zaradi draženja duha.
Those who worship and obey me will sing joyfully, but you [evil people] will wail loudly because you will be suffering in your inner beings.
15 Svoje ime boste pustili za prekletstvo mojim izbranim, kajti Gospod Bog te bo ubil in svoje služabnike klical z drugim imenom,
Those whom I have chosen will use your names when they curse people; [I], Yahweh the Lord, will get rid of you. But I will give to those who worship and obey me a new name [that they will use when they bless people].
16 da se bo tisti, ki se blagoslavlja na zemlji, blagoslavljal v Bogu resnice in kdor prisega na zemlji, bo prisegal pri Bogu resnice, kajti prejšnje težave so pozabljene in ker so skrite pred mojimi očmi.
The people in this land have had many troubles, but I will cause those troubles to occur no more. Therefore those who ask me to bless them and those who solemnly promise to do something should never forget that I am God, who faithfully [do what I promise to do].”
17 Kajti glej, ustvarim novo nebo in novo zemljo in prejšnjega se ne bo spominjalo niti ne bo prišlo v misli.
“Note this: [Some day] I will create a new heaven and a new earth. [They will be very wonderful, with the result that] you will no longer think about all [the troubles] you had previously.
18 Toda bodite veseli in se na veke veselite tega, kar ustvarim. Kajti glejte, [prestolnico] Jeruzalem ustvarim za razveseljevanje in njeno ljudstvo za radost.
Be glad and always rejoice because of what I will do: Jerusalem will be a place where [people] rejoice; the people who live there will always be happy.
19 Razveseljeval se bom v [prestolnici] Jeruzalem in se veselil v svojem ljudstvu. Glasu jokanja ne bo več slišati v njej niti glasu vpitja.
I will rejoice about Jerusalem, and I will be delighted with my people. [People] will no longer weep or cry because of being distressed.
20 Tam ne bo več otročička po dnevih niti starca, ki ne bi izpolnil svojih dni, kajti otrok bo umrl star sto let, toda grešnik, ki bo star sto let, bo preklet.
No child will die when it is still an infant; all people will live until they are very old. [People will consider that] anyone who is 100 years old is still young; [they will consider that] anyone who dies who is younger than that has been cursed.
21 Gradili bodo hiše in jih poselili in posadili bodo vinograde ter jedli od njihovega sadu.
My people will build houses and [then] live in them. They will plant vineyards and then eat grapes from those vineyards.
22 Ne bodo gradili in drug naselil, ne bodo sadili in drug jedel, kajti kakor so dnevi drevesa, so dnevi mojega ljudstva in moji izvoljeni bodo dolgo uživali delo svojih rok.
As for the houses that they build, no one will [take those houses away from them and] live in them. No one will take a vineyard away from its owner. My chosen people will live a long time, like trees do, and they will enjoy what they have accomplished— [the houses that they have built and the crops that they have planted].
23 Ne bodo se trudili zaman niti rojevali za težavo, kajti oni so seme blagoslovljenih od Gospoda in njihovo potomstvo z njimi.
They will not work hard in vain, and their children will not die from some (calamity/terrible thing happening to them). I will [certainly] bless their children and their grandchildren.
24 In zgodilo se bo, da bom odgovarjal, preden bodo klicali in medtem ko še govorijo, bom usliševal.
Before they call to me [to help them], I will answer; I will answer their prayers while they are still praying [for me to do something for them].
25 Volk in jagnje se bosta skupaj pasla, lev bo jedel slamo kakor bikec in prah bo hrana kači. Ne bodo škodovali niti uničevali na vsej moji sveti gori, ‹ govori Gospod.«
No one will be harmed or injured anywhere on [Zion], my sacred hill: Wolves and lambs will eat grass together [peacefully]; lions will eat hay like oxen do, [and they will not attack people]. Snakes will [not hurt anyone; they will lie on the ground and] eat [only] dirt. [That is surely what it will be like because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
