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

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.

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

²Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

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

³The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel doesn’t know, my people don’t consider.”

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.

⁴Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.

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

⁵Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

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.

⁶From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.

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.

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

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

⁸The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.

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

⁹Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom; we would have been like Gomorrah.

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

¹⁰Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” , you people of Gomorrah!

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.

¹¹“What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?,” says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.

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

¹²When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

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.

¹³Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can’t bear with evil assemblies.

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

¹⁴My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.

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

¹⁵When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

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

¹⁶Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.

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

¹⁷Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow.”

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.

¹⁸“Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

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

¹⁹If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;

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

²⁰but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.”

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

²¹How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.

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

²²Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.

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.

²³Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They don’t judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.

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

²⁴Therefore the Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says: “Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself of my enemies;

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

²⁵and I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.

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

²⁶I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness, a faithful town.’

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

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

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

²⁸But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.

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

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

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.

³⁰For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.

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

³¹The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”
