¹The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

¹Prikazen Izaiju, sinu Amozovemu, ki jo je videl za Judo in za Jeruzalem v dneh Uzija, Jotama, Ahaza in Ezekija, kraljev Judovih.

²Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

²Čujte, o nebesa, in poslušaj, o zemlja, kajti GOSPOD je govoril: Otroke sem vzredil in povišal, oni pa so se uprli zoper mene.

³The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

³Vol pozna gospodarja svojega in osel gospoda svojega jasli, ali Izrael ne pozna, ljudstvo moje ne ume.

⁴Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

⁴Gorje grešnemu narodu, ljudstvu obloženemu s krivdo, zarodu hudodelnikov, otrokom, ki popačeno ravnajo! Zapustili so GOSPODA, zavrgli so Svetnika Izraelovega, odvrnili so se od njega.

⁵Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

⁵Čemu naj bi vas še tepel, ko le bolj in bolj odpadate! Vsa glava je bolna in vse srce medlo.

⁶From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

⁶Od stopala do temena ni nič zdravega na njem: zgolj rane in proge in vedno novi tvori, ki jih ne iztiskajo in ne obvezujejo in ne mečé z oljem.

⁷Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

⁷Dežela vaša je pusta, mesta vaša so požgana z ognjem; zemlja vaša – tujci jo požirajo vpričo vas, in opustošena je že tako, kakor da so jo razdejali tujci.

⁸And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

⁸In hči sionska je ostala zapuščena kakor koča v vinogradu, kakor hišica na kumarišču, kakor oblegano mesto.

⁹Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

⁹Ko bi nam ne bil GOSPOD nad vojskami ostavil ostanka, čeprav majhnega, bi bili kakor Sodoma, bi bili podobni Gomori.

¹⁰Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

¹⁰Čujte besedo GOSPODOVO, vodniki sodomski, poslušajte Boga našega postavo, ljudstvo gomorsko!

¹¹To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

¹¹Čemu mi daritev vaših množina? pravi GOSPOD; sit sem žgalnih daritev ovnov in masti pitane živine ter krvi juncev in jagnjet in kozlov se ne veselim.

¹²When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

¹²Ko prihajate, da se prikažete pred obličjem mojim – kdo je zahteval to od roke vaše, da teptate veže moje?

¹³Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

¹³Ne prinašajte več daril ničevih! Kadilo mi je gnusoba; ob mlaju in v soboto in kadar sklicujete zbor, ne morem prenašati krivice in hkrati prazničnega zborovanja.

¹⁴Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

¹⁴Mlaje vaše in praznike vaše sovraži duša moja, zoprni so mi, težko jih prenašam.

¹⁵And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

¹⁵In ko iztezate roke svoje, skrivam oči svoje pred vami; ko tudi mnogo molite, ne slišim: roke vaše so polne krvi.

¹⁶Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

¹⁶Umijte se, očistite se, odpravite hudobnost dejanj svojih izpred mojih oči, nehajte delati hudo;

¹⁷Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

¹⁷učite se delati dobro, iščite pravice, tlačenemu pomagajte, pravico sodite siroti, potezajte se za vdovo!

¹⁸Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

¹⁸Pridite vendar, in razložimo si pravdo svojo, pravi GOSPOD. Ako so grehi vaši kakor škrlat, bodo beli kakor sneg; ako so rdeči kakor karmezin, bodo beli kakor volna.

¹⁹If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

¹⁹Če ugodite in boste poslušali, boste uživali dobrote dežele.

²⁰But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

²⁰Ako pa se boste branili in se upirali, bodete pokončani z mečem; zakaj usta GOSPODOVA so govorila.

²¹How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

²¹O kako se je v nečistnico izprevrglo mesto zvesto! Polno je bilo pravice, pravičnost je stanovala v njem, a sedaj morilci!

²²Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

²²Srebro tvoje se je izpremenilo v žlindro, žlahtno vino tvoje je z vodo zmešano.

²³Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

²³Knezi tvoji so uporniki in tovariši tatov; vsak izmed njih ljubi darila in hodi za podkupili, siroti ne sodijo pravice in vdove pravda ne prihaja do njih.

²⁴Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

²⁴Zato pravi Gospod, Jehova nad vojskami, Mogočni Izraelov: Aha, tolažbe si dobodem pri svojih nasprotnikih in maščeval se bom nad svojimi sovražniki.

²⁵And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

²⁵In iztegnem roko svojo proti tebi, da dočista izžgem žlindro tvojo in odpravim vso primes kovine tvoje.

²⁶And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

²⁶In zopet postavim sodnike tvoje, kakor so bili prej, in svetovalce tvoje kakor v začetku. Potem te bodo imenovali Mesto pravičnosti, zvesto mesto.

²⁷Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

²⁷Sion bo odkupljen s sodbo in njegovi, ki se vrnejo, s pravičnostjo.

²⁸And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

²⁸Ali odpadniki in grešniki bodo vsi hkrati strti, in kateri zapuste GOSPODA, poginejo.

²⁹For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

²⁹Zakaj osramočeni bodo spričo malikovalskih hrastov, ki ste jih želeli, in rdečica vas oblije zaradi vrtov, ki ste jih izvolili.

³⁰For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

³⁰Kajti podobni bodete hrastu, ki mu vene listje, in podobni vrtu, ki nima nič vode.In najhrabrejši bode kakor predivo in delo njegovo kakor iskra, in oboje bo gorelo skupaj, in ne bode nikogar, ki bi pogasil.

³¹And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

³¹In najhrabrejši bode kakor predivo in delo njegovo kakor iskra, in oboje bo gorelo skupaj, in ne bode nikogar, ki bi pogasil.
