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 who comes from Edom, clothed in red from Bozrah? Who is he in royal clothing, marching confidently because of his great strength? It is I, speaking righteousness and powerfully able to save.

2 »Zakaj si rdeč v svojem oblačilu in so tvoje obleke podobne tistemu, ki tlači v vinski kadi?«

Why are your clothes red, and why do they look like you have been treading grapes in a 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 grapes in the winepress alone, and no one from the nations joined me. I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my fury. Their blood is spattered on my clothes and stained all my clothes.

4 Kajti dan maščevanja je v mojem srcu in leto mojih odkupljenih je prišlo.

For I looked forward to the day of vengeance, and the year for my redemption had arrived.

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, and there was no one to help. I wondered that there was none to help, but my own arm brought victory for me, and my strong anger drove me on.

6 V svoji jezi bom pomendral ljudstvo in jih opijanil v svoji razjarjenosti in njihovo moč bom privedel dol do zemlje.

I trampled down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their blood on 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 tell of the acts of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness, the praiseworthy deeds of Yahweh. I will tell of all that Yahweh has done for us, and of his great goodness to the house of Israel. This compassion he has shown us because of his mercy, and with many deeds of covenant faithfulness.

8 Kajti rekel je: »Zagotovo so moje ljudstvo, otroci, ki ne bodo lagali.« Tako je bil njihov Odrešenik.

For he said, “For certain they are my people, children who are not disloyal.” He became their Savior.

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.

Through all their suffering, he suffered too, and the angel from his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he saved them, and he lifted them up and carried them through all the ancient times.

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 rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and 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?

His people thought about the ancient times of Moses. They said, “Where is God, who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is God, who put his Holy Spirit among them?

12 Ki jih je vodil z Mojzesovo desnico, svojim veličastnim laktom, razdeljujoč vode pred njimi, da si naredi večno ime?

Where is God, who made his glorious power go with the right hand of Moses, and divided the water before them, to make an everlasting name for himself?

13 Ki jih je vodil skozi globino kakor konja v divjini, da se ne bi spotaknili?

Where is God, who led them through the deep water? Like a horse running on flat land, they did not stumble.

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 the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Yahweh gave them rest. So you led your people, to make yourself a name of praise.

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 take notice from your holy and glorious habitation. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? Your pity and your compassionate actions are kept from us.

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 you are our father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not recognize us, you, Yahweh, are our father. 'Our Redeemer' has been your name from ancient times.

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.

Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways and harden our hearts, so we do not obey you? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.

18 Ljudstvo tvoje svetosti ga je imelo v lasti le kratek čas. Naši nasprotniki so pomendrali tvoje svetišče.

Your people possessed your holy place for a short time, but then our enemies trampled it.

19 Mi smo tvoji. Nikoli nisi vladal nad njimi; niso bili imenovani s tvojim imenom.

We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were never called by your name.”
