¹Zakaj GOSPOD se usmili Jakoba in še enkrat izvoli Izraela, in jih postavi na domača tla; in tujci se jim pridružijo ter se bodo oklepali hiše Jakobove.

¹For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.

²In ljudstva jih vzemo pod svojo skrb ter jih pripeljejo na njih mesto; in hiša Izraelova si jih prisvoji v deželi GOSPODOVI, da bodo hlapci in dekle; tako bodo ujete peljali nje, katerim so bili prej ujetniki, in bodo gospodovali njim, ki so jih nekdaj tlačili.

²The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in Yahweh’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

³In zgodi se tisti dan, ko ti GOSPOD podeli pokoj po trudu tvojem in po nepokoju tvojem in po trdi službi, v katero so te usužnjili,

³It will happen in the day that Yahweh will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,

⁴da boš pravil to zabavljico o kralju babilonskem, ter porečeš: Kako je preminil tlačilec, kako je minilo oderuštvo!

⁴that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”

⁵Zlomil je GOSPOD palico krivičnikov, žezlo gospodovalčevo,

⁵Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,

⁶ki je tepel ljudstva v togoti z udarci neprenehoma, ki je gospodoval v jezi narodom z zatiranjem brez zadržka.

⁶who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.

⁷Pokojna, mirna je zdaj vsa zemlja; nastalo je glasno petje.

⁷The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song.

⁸Tudi ciprese se radujejo nad teboj, cedre na Libanonu: „Odkar si se zvrnil, ne hodi nihče sem gori, da bi nas posekal!“

⁸Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us.”

⁹Pekel zdolaj se je vznemiril zaradi tebe, ker čaka prihoda tvojega: drami zavoljo tebe mrtve, vse mogotce zemlje, vsem kraljem narodov veli vstati s prestolov.

⁹ Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

¹⁰Vsi izpregovore tebi in poreko: „Tudi ti si brez moči kakor mi, nam si postal podoben?“

¹⁰They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”

¹¹V pekel je stopilo veličastvo tvoje in strun tvojih šum. Glist je polno pod teboj in črv te pokriva.

¹¹Your pomp is brought down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.

¹²Kako si padel z neba, o lucifer [Ali: sijajna zvezda, danica.], jutranje zarje sin! kako si posekan na tla, ki si poraze napravljal narodom!

¹²How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

¹³Ti si pač govoril v srcu svojem: V nebesa se dvignem, nad zvezde Boga mogočnega povišam prestol svoj, in sedel bom na gori zborovanja, na skrajnem severu.

¹³You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!

¹⁴Dvignem se nad višave, ogrnjene z oblaki, enak bodem Najvišjemu.

¹⁴I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!”

¹⁵Ali pahnjen boš v pekel, v jamo najglobočjo.

¹⁵Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , to the depths of the pit.

¹⁶Kateri te vidijo, te natanko ogledujejo in se ozirajo v te, govoreč: „Je li ta tisti mož, ki je majal zemljo, ki je pretresal kraljestva?

¹⁶Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;

¹⁷ki je delal iz naseljenega sveta puščavo in je podiral mesta ne njem, ki jetnikov svojih ni izpuščal domov?“

¹⁷who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”

¹⁸Vsi kralji narodov, kolikor jih je, so zaspali s častjo, vsak v hiši svoji;

¹⁸All the kings of the nations, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.

¹⁹tebe pa so vrgli daleč od tvojega groba kakor ostuden izrastek. Pokrit si z ubitimi, s prebodenimi z mečem, ki so jih vrgli v jamo in zasuli s kamenjem, si kakor razteptano truplo.

¹⁹But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.

²⁰Ne združiš se ž njimi v grobu, ker si ugonabljal deželo svojo, moril ljudstvo svoje. Hudobnikov seme se ne bo imenovalo vekomaj.

²⁰You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The seed of evildoers will not be named forever.

²¹Pripravite se, da pokoljete sinove njegove zaradi krivice njih očetov! Da ne vstanejo ter ne podedujejo dežele in površja zemlje ne napolnijo z mesti.

²¹Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.

²²In vstanem zoper nje, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami, in iztrebim ime in ostanek Babilona, sina in vnuka, govori GOSPOD.

²²“I will rise up against them,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says Yahweh.

²³In naredim, da bode Babilon posestvo ježu in močvirje, in pometem ga z metlo pokončanja, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami.

²³“I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says Yahweh of Armies.

²⁴Prisegel je GOSPOD nad vojskami, rekoč: Gotovo, kakor sem se namenil, tako se zgodi, in kakor sem sklenil, tako ostane:

²⁴Yahweh of Armies has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

²⁵da zdrobim Asurja v deželi svoji in ga pogazim na gorah svojih. Tako se jim razprta jarem njegov in njegovo breme jim pade z rame.

²⁵that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.

²⁶To je tisti sklep, ki je storjen nad vso zemljo, in to je roka, ki je iztegnjena nad vsemi narodi.

²⁶This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

²⁷Zakaj GOSPOD nad vojskami je storil sklep, in kdo naj ga uniči? in roka njegova je iztegnjena, kdo naj jo odvrne?

²⁷For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”

²⁸V letu, v katerem je umrl kralj Ahaz, je bilo to prorokovanje:

²⁸This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.

²⁹Ne raduj se, ti vsa Filisteja, ker je zlomljena šiba, ki te je tepla; kajti iz korenine kačje pride modras, in sad njegov bode ognjen leteč zmaj.

²⁹Don’t rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.

³⁰In prvenci siromakov bodo pasli in ubožni počivali brez skrbi; a tvojo korenino pokončam z lakoto in ostanek tvoj pomori zmaj.

³⁰The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.

³¹Tulite, vrata, vpij, mesto, obup te zgrabi, vsa Filisteja; kajti od severa prihaja sovražnik kakor dim in presledka ni v četah njegovih.Kaj torej naj se odgovori poslancem narodovim? Da je GOSPOD ustanovil Sion in da ne njem dobé zavetje ubožci ljudstva njegovega.

³¹Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

³²Kaj torej naj se odgovori poslancem narodovim? Da je GOSPOD ustanovil Sion in da ne njem dobé zavetje ubožci ljudstva njegovega.

³²What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
