1Tako pravi GOSPOD: Nebo je prestol moj in zemlja nogam mojim podnožje. Kakšna bi neki bila hiša, ki bi jo mi zidali? in kje li počivanju mojemu mesto?
1Thus says Yahweh, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of house will you build to me? and what place shall be my rest?
2Saj vse to je naredila roka moja in po njej je vse to postalo, govori GOSPOD. Ali na tega se ozrem: na ubožca in potrtega v duhu in na njega, ki trepeče pred besedo mojo.
2For all these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but to this man will I look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
3Kdor kolje vola, je, kakor kdor ubija moža, kdor daruje drobnico, kakor kdor seče glavo psu, kdor prinaša pitni dar, kakor bi daroval kri svinjsko, kdor žge kadilo v spomin, kakor kdor hvali malika: res, oni so izvolili pota svoja in gnusob svojih se veseli njih duša.
3He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:
4Tudi jaz izvolim, kar jih boli, in pripeljem nadnje, česar jih je strah; zato ker mi, ko sem klical, ni nihče odgovoril, ko sem govoril, niso poslušali, temuč so delali, kar je hudo v očeh mojih, in so izvolili tisto, kar mi ni po volji.
4I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
5Čujte besedo GOSPODOVO, ki trepetate pred besedo njegovo! Bratje vaši, ki vas sovražijo in vas pehajo od sebe zaradi imena mojega, govore: Naj se GOSPOD izkaže častit, da vidimo radost vašo! Toda osramočeni bodo.
5Hear the word of Yahweh, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.
6Čujte, hrupa glas iz mesta! glas iz svetišča! glas GOSPODOV, ki povrača sovražnikom svojim, kar so zaslužili!
6A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yahweh that renders recompense to his enemies.
7Ko je niso še obšle porodne težave, je rodila; ko je ni še napadla bolečina, je povila moško dete.
7“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
8Kdo je slišal kaj takega, kdo je videl kaj enakega? More li dežela biti rojena v enem dnevi? se li porodi narod mahoma? Komaj so Sion obšle težave, in že je rodil sinove svoje.
8Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9Ali bi jaz odprl maternico, a ne dal poroditi? pravi GOSPOD; ali bi jaz, ki dajem roditi, zopet zadržal? veli Bog tvoj.
9Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?” says Yahweh: “shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?” says your God.
10Veselite se z Jeruzalemom in radujte se nad njim vsi, ki ga ljubite, udeležujte se veselja ž njim, ki ste žalovali nad njim!
10“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
11da sesate in se nasitite na prsih tolažb njegovih, da se nasrkate in se vam dobro godi od obilnosti slave njegove.
11that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”
12Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD: Glej, jaz napeljem proti njemu kakor reko mir in kakor poplavljajoč potok slavo narodov, in boste sesali; v naročjih vas bodo nosili in na kolenih ljubkali.
12For thus says Yahweh, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
13Kakor če koga tolaži mati njegova, tako hočem jaz tolažiti vas; in v Jeruzalemu boste obliti s tolažbo.
13As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
14In boste videli, in veselilo se bo srce vaše, in kosti vaše se razcveto kako nežna trava. In očitna bo roka GOSPODOVA pri hlapcih njegovih in nevolja proti sovražnikom njegovim.
14You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of Yahweh shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
15Zakaj, glej, GOSPOD pride z ognjem in vozovi njegovi bodo podobni vrtincu, da povračuje jezo svojo s togoto in karanje svoje z gorečimi plameni.
15For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16Kajti GOSPOD bo sodbo vršil z ognjem in z mečem svojim proti vsemu mesu, in mnogo jih bode, ki jih prebode GOSPOD.
16For by fire will Yahweh execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of Yahweh shall be many.
17Kateri se posvečujejo in se očiščajo za malikovanje na vrtih, za enim [Pomeni: za enim drevesom (ali: za Ašero.] v sredi, kateri jedo meso svinjsko, gnusobo in miši, skup se pokončajo, govori GOSPOD.
17“Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together,” says Yahweh.
18Jaz pa vem njih dela, njih misli. Pride čas, da zberem vse narode in jezike; in pridejo in bodo gledali slavo mojo.
18“For I know their works and their thoughts: the time comes, that I will gather all nations and languages; and they shall come, and shall see my glory.
19In postavim znamenje med njimi, in izmed njih ubežnikov pošljem k narodom v Tarsis, Pul in Lud, ki streljajo z lokom, v Tubal in Javan, na daljne otoke, ki niso slišali vesti o meni in niso videli slave moje; in oznanjali bodo slavo mojo med narodi.
19“I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
20In pripeljejo vse brate vaše izmed vseh narodov v dar GOSPODU na konjih, na vozeh in nosilih, na mezgih in dromedarjih na goro svetosti moje, v Jeruzalem, pravi GOSPOD, kakor sinovi Izraelovi prinašajo pitno daritev v snažni posodi v hišo GOSPODOVO.
20They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh.
21In tudi izmed njih jih vzamem za duhovnike in levite, pravi GOSPOD.
21Of them also will I take for priests and for Levites,” says Yahweh.
22Zakaj kakor bodo ona nova nebesa in zemlja nova, ki jih hočem narediti, stala pred menoj, tako bo stalo seme vaše in ime vaše.
22“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says Yahweh, “so your seed and your name shall remain.
23In zgodi se, da bo od mlaja do mlaja in od sobote prihajalo vse meso molit pred mene, pravi GOSPOD.In pojdejo ven in videli bodo mrtva trupla tistih ljudi, ki so odpadli od mene; zakaj njih črv ne umre in njih ogenj ne ugasne, in gnusoba bodo vsemu mesu.
23It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me,” says Yahweh.
24In pojdejo ven in videli bodo mrtva trupla tistih ljudi, ki so odpadli od mene; zakaj njih črv ne umre in njih ogenj ne ugasne, in gnusoba bodo vsemu mesu.
24“They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
