¹Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.

¹Pristopite, narodi, da poslušate, in ljudstva, čujte! Sliši naj zemlja in kar jo napolnjuje, naseljeni svet in vse, kar se rodeva na njem!

²For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

²Zakaj goreča je jeza GOSPODOVA zoper vse narode in srditost zoper vso njih vojsko; proklel jih je v pokončanje, izročil jih je v klanje.

³Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

³In njih prebodenci bodo tja pometani, in od njih mrličev bo prihajal smrad, in gore se bodo topile v njih krvi.

⁴And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

⁴In izgine vsa vojska nebeška, in nebo se zvije kakor knjiga, in vsa njegova vojska odpade, kakor odpade listje s trte in kakor odpade list s smokve.

⁵For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

⁵Kajti upijanil se je moj meč v nebesih; glej, nad Edomce pride doli v sodbo in nad ljudstvo, ki sem ga odmenil v prokletje.

⁶The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

⁶Meč GOSPODOV je poln krvi, masten od tolšče, od krvi jagnjet in kozlov, od tolšče ovnovih ledij: kajti žrtvovanje je GOSPODU v Bozri in veliko klanje v deželi Edomcev.

⁷And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

⁷Padejo tudi divji bivoli ž njimi in junci s krepkimi biki, tako da se zemlja upijani njih krvi in prah bo napojen ž njih mastjo.

⁸For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

⁸Kajti dan GOSPODOVEGA maščevanja je leto povračila, da se reši pravda Sionova.

⁹And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

⁹In potoki Edomovi se premene v smolo in prah njegov v žveplo, in zemlja njegova bo kakor goreča smola.

¹⁰It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

¹⁰Po dnevi in po noči ne ugasne, vekomaj bo vzhajal dim njen; od roda do roda ostane pusta, vekomaj nihče ne pojde skozi njo.

¹¹But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

¹¹Ali podedovala jo bosta pelikan in jež ter sova in vran bosta prebivala v njej. In potegne čez njo mersko vrvico pustote in svinčnico praznote.

¹²They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

¹²Plemenitnikov njenih ne bode nobenega, da bi oklical kraljestvo, in vsi knezi njeni bodo v nič.

¹³And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.

¹³In v gradovih njenih požene trnje, kopriva in osat po trdnjavah njenih, in bode v brlog šakalom, za pašo mladim nojem.

¹⁴The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

¹⁴In stekale se bodo zveri puščave z divjimi psi in kosmatin bo klical druga svojega; ponočni škrat bo bival ondi in našel si pokoja mesto.

¹⁵There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.

¹⁵Tam si napravi kača gnezdo in bo legla jajca, in ko se izvalé mladiči, jih bo zbirala v senco svojo; ondi se bodo zbirali jastrebi, vsak z družetom svojim.

¹⁶Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

¹⁶Preiskujte knjigo GOSPODOVO in čitajte! Enega od teh ne bo manjkalo, eden ne bo pogrešal drugega, kajti usta Njegova so zapovedala in duh Njegov jih je zbral vkup;in On je vrgel kocko zanje in jim je z roko svojo razdelil to zemljo po merski vrvi: v lasti jo bodo imeli vekomaj, od roda do roda bodo prebivali v njej.

¹⁷And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

¹⁷in On je vrgel kocko zanje in jim je z roko svojo razdelil to zemljo po merski vrvi: v lasti jo bodo imeli vekomaj, od roda do roda bodo prebivali v njej.
