Izaija 24
1 Glej, Gospod prazni zemljo in jo pustoši in jo prevrača in razpršuje njene prebivalce.
Behold, Jehovah maketh the land empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.
2 Zgodilo se bo, kakor z ljudstvom, tako z duhovnikom; kakor s služabnikom, tako z njegovim gospodarjem; kakor s služabnico, tako z njeno gospodarico; kakor s kupcem, tako s prodajalcem; kakor s tistim, ki posoja, tako z izposojevalcem; kakor z jemalcem obresti, tako s tistim, ki mu daje obresti.
And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with him from whom usury is taken.
3 Dežela bo popolnoma izpraznjena in popolnoma oplenjena, kajti Gospod je spregovoril to besedo.
The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.
4 Zemlja žaluje in bledi, zemeljski [krog] peša in bledi, ošabno ljudstvo zemlje peša.
The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish.
5 Tudi zemlja je omadeževana pod njenimi prebivalci, ker so prekršili postave, spremenili odredbo, prelomili večno zavezo.
And the land is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; for they have violated the laws, changed the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Zato je prekletstvo požrlo zemljo in tisti, ki prebivajo na njej, so zapuščeni. Zato so prebivalci zemlje požgani in ostalo je le malo mož.
Therefore doth the curse devour the earth, and they that dwell therein are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men are left.
7 Novo vino žaluje, trta peša, vsi veselo–srčni vzdihujejo.
The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all that were merry-hearted do sigh;
8 Veselje bobničev pojenjuje, hrup tistih, ki se veselijo, se končuje, radost harfe pojenjuje.
the mirth of tambours ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 Vina ne bodo pili s pesmijo; močna pijača bo grenka tistim, ki jo pijejo.
They do not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
10 Mesto zmešnjave je zlomljeno. Vsaka hiša je zaprta, da noben človek ne more vstopiti.
The city of solitude is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none entereth in.
11 Tam je na ulicah jokanje zaradi vina; vsa radost je otemnela, veselje dežele je odšlo.
There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone;
12 V mestu je ostalo opustošenje in velika vrata so udarjena z uničenjem.
desolation remaineth in the city, and the gate is smitten, — a ruin.
13 Ko bo tako v sredi dežele med ljudstvom, bo tam kakor otresanje oljke in kakor paberkovanje grozdov, ko je trgatev končana.
For so will it be in the midst of the land among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the grape-gleanings when the vintage is done.
14 Povzdignili bodo svoj glas, peli bodo zaradi Gospodovega veličanstva, glasno bodo klicali od morja.
These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15 Zatorej proslavljajte Gospoda v ognjih, celó ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, na morskih otokih.
Therefore glorify Jehovah in the east, the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the west.
16 Od skrajnih delov zemlje smo slišali pesmi, celó slavo k pravičnemu. Toda rekel sem: »Moja pustost, moja pustost, gorje meni! Zahrbtneži so postopali zahrbtno; da, zahrbtneži so postopali zelo zahrbtno.«
From the end of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous! And I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
17 Strah, jama in zanka so nad teboj, oh prebivalec zemlje.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, inhabitant of the land.
18 Zgodilo se bo, da kdor pobegne pred hrupom strahu, bo padel v jamo; in kdor prihaja gor iz srede jame, bo ujet v zanko, kajti okna od zgoraj so odprta in temelji zemlje se tresejo.
And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the sound of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are open, and the foundations of the earth shake.
19 Zemlja je popolnoma razrušena, zemlja je čisto raztopljena, zemlja je silno premaknjena.
The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is completely dissolved, the earth is violently moved.
20 Zemlja se bo opotekala sem ter tja kakor pijanec in odstranjena bo kakor koča in njen prestopek bo težak nad njo in ta bo padla in ne bo ponovno vstala.
The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and is shaken like a night hut; and its transgression is heavy upon it; and it falleth and shall not rise again.
21 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo Gospod kaznoval vojsko vzvišenih, ki so na višavi in zemeljske kralje na zemlji.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 Zbrani bodo skupaj, kakor so jetniki zbrani v jami in zaprti bodo v ječi in po mnogih dneh bodo obiskani.
And they shall be brought together, [as] an assemblage of prisoners for the pit, and shall be shut up in prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23 Potem bo luna zbegana in sonce osramočeno, ko bo Gospod nad bojevniki veličastno kraljeval na gori Sion in v Jeruzalemu in pred njegovimi starci.
And the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in glory.
