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

¹Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear; the world, and everything that comes from it.

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

²For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.

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

³Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up; and the mountains will melt in their blood.

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.

⁴All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.

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

⁵For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky. Behold, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for judgment.

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.

⁶Yahweh’s sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

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.

⁷The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be drunken with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.

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

⁸For Yahweh has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

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

⁹Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulfur, And its land will become burning pitch.

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

¹⁰It won’t be quenched night nor day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.

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.

¹¹But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.

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

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

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

¹³Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.

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.

¹⁴The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. Yes, the night creature literally, lilith, which could also be a night demon or night monster shall settle there, and shall find herself a place of rest.

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.

¹⁵The arrow snake will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.

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.

¹⁶Search in the book of Yahweh, and read: not one of these will be missing. none will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.

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.

¹⁷He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
