¹Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

¹Gorje Arielu [T. j. Božji lev, ali: ognjišče Božje.], Arielu, mestu, v katerem si je David napravil stanišče! Pridenite leto k letu, vrsté naj se zaporedoma prazniki –

²Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

²vendar pripravim v stisko Ariela in bo v njem žalovanje in javkanje. In bode mi pravi Ariel.

³And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.

³In napravim ostrog okoliinokoli zoper tebe in te tesno obkrožim z vojnimi stražami in naredim nasipe proti tebi.

⁴And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

⁴Tedaj boš ponižan govoril na tleh in iz prahu bo zamolklo šumel govor tvoj, in glas tvoj bode kakor kakega duha iz zemlje, iz prahu bo šepetal govor tvoj.

⁵Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

⁵In kakor droben prah bode sovražnikov tvojih množica in kakor pleva mimo leteča silnikov množica, in zgodi se naglo, v trenotku.

⁶Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

⁶Od GOSPODA nad vojskami pride obiskovanje z gromom in potresom in ropotom močnim, z vrtincem in nevihto in s plamenom požrešnega ognja.

⁷And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

⁷In kakor sanje, prikazen ponočna, bode množica vseh tistih narodov, ki se vojskujejo zoper Ariela, in izginejo vsi, ki se bojujejo zoper njega in grad njegov ter ga stiskajo.

⁸It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

⁸Bode, pravim, kakor ko se lačnemu sanja, in glej, jé, ko se pa prebudi, je prazna duša njegova; ali kakor ko se sanja žejnemu, in glej, pije, ko se pa zbudi, glej, truden je in duša njegova čuti poželenje: tako bode množica vseh tistih narodov, ki se vojskujejo zoper goro Sionsko.

⁹Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

⁹Osupnite in strmíte, zaslepite se in oslepite! Pijani so, ali ne od vina, opotekajo se, a ne od pijače opojne.

¹⁰For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

¹⁰Kajti oblil vas je GOSPOD z duhom trdnega spanja in je zatisnil oči vaše, proroke, in pokril glave vaše, vidce.

¹¹And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

¹¹Zato vam je vsaka prikazen podobna besedam zapečatenega pisma, katero dado branju veščemu človeku, rekoč: Beri, prosim, to! On pa reče: Ne morem, ker je zapečateno.

¹²And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

¹²In dado pismo neveščemu branju, veleč: Beri, prosim, to! pa reče: Brati ne znam.

¹³Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

¹³In Gospod je rekel: Zato ker se mi bliža to ljudstvo in me časti z usti in z ustnami, srce pa obrača daleč od mene, in ker je njih strah do mene le zapoved človeška, kakor so se je naučili:

¹⁴Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

¹⁴glej, zato bom še dalje čudno ravnal s tem ljudstvom, čudno in čudovito; in modrost modrijanov njegovih mine in razumnost razumnikov njegovih se skrije.

¹⁵Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

¹⁵Gorje jim, ki se zagrebajo globoko, da skrijejo svoje naklepe pred GOSPODOM, in katerih dela se vrše v temi in govore: Kdo nas vidi? in kdo nas pozna?

¹⁶Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

¹⁶O vi popačenci! Lončar naj se šteje ilovici za enakega? da bi reklo delo za mojstra svojega: Ni me naredil! in tvorina za svojega tvorilca: Nima razuma!

¹⁷Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

¹⁷Ni li še malo časa, le prav malo, in izpremeni se Libanon v rodovitno njivo, in rodovitna njiva se bo štela za gozd?

¹⁸And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

¹⁸In tisti dan bodo glušci slišali besede pisma, in iz mraka in teme bodo videle slepcev oči.

¹⁹The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹In krotki bodo pomnožili veselje svoje v GOSPODU, in ubožni med ljudmi se bodo radovali v Svetniku Izraelovem.

²⁰For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

²⁰Kajti konec bode silovitniku in zasmehovalec izgine, in iztrebljeni bodo vsi, ki se potegujejo za krivico,

²¹That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.

²¹ki obsojajo človeka zaradi besede in stavijo zanko njemu, ki med vrati pravdo prisoja, in ki brez vzroka izpodrivajo pravičnega.

²²Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.

²²Zato pravi tako GOSPOD, ki je odrešil Abrahama, za hišo Jakobovo: Odslej ne bo več osramočen Jakob in obličje njegovo odslej ne obledi;

²³But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

²³temuč ko bo videl, namreč otroci njegovi, rok mojih delo sredi sebe, bodo posvečevali ime moje, da, posvečevali bodo Svetnika Jakobovega in se bali Boga Izraelovega.In kateri so se v duhu motili, zadobe razsodnost, in godrnjači bodo dovzetni za nauk.

²⁴They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

²⁴In kateri so se v duhu motili, zadobe razsodnost, in godrnjači bodo dovzetni za nauk.
