¹I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

¹Videl sem Gospoda stati nad oltarjem, in je velel: Udari na stebrov glavič, da se tresejo pragi, in razbij jih v kosce na glavo njih vseh; in kar jih še preostane, pomorim z mečem: kdor se spusti v beg, ne ubeži, niti eden iz njih se ne reši.

²Though they dig into Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.

²Ko bi pridrli v kraj mrtvih, tudi odtod jih izvleče roka moja, in ko bi stopili v nebesa, jih odondod privedem doli;

³Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.

³in ko bi se skrili na vrhu Karmela, jih poiščem in vzamem odtod; in ko bi se izpred mojih oči poskrili v globočine morja, tam zapovem kači, da jih piči;

⁴Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

⁴in ko bi šli v sužnost pred svojimi sovražniki, tam zapovem meču, da jih pomori. In obrnem oko svoje proti njim v hudo in ne v dobro.

⁵For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.

⁵Kajti Gospod, Jehova nad vojskami, on se dotakne zemlje, in se taja in žalujejo vsi prebivalci na njej in se vsa razlije kakor Nil in zopet upade kakor reka egiptovska;

⁶It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; Yahweh is his name.

⁶on je zgradil v nebesih zgornji hram svoj in si utrdil obok nad zemljo; on kliče morske vode ter jih razliva po površju zemlje: Jehova je ime njegovo.

⁷Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says Yahweh. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

⁷Ali mi niste, o sinovi Izraelovi, kakor otroci Etiopcev? govori GOSPOD. Nisem li peljal Izraela iz dežele Egiptovske, Filistejcev pa iz Kaftorja in Sircev iz Kira?

⁸Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says Yahweh.

⁸Glej, oči Gospoda Jehove so obrnjene zoper to pregrešno kraljestvo, in ga potrebim s površja zemlje; samo da docela ne iztrebim hiše Jakobove, govori GOSPOD.

⁹“For, behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.

⁹Kajti glej, jaz ukažem, in rešetali bodo sinove Izraelove med vsemi narodi, kakor se trese žito na rešetu; a nobeno zrnce ne pade na tla.

¹⁰All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’

¹⁰Pod mečem umrjo vsi grešniki ljudstva mojega, kateri govore: Ne približa se nam in ne zadene nas nesreča.

¹¹In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

¹¹Tisti dan vzdignem šator Davidov, ki je razpadel, in zazidam razpoke njegove in postavim razvaline njegove, in zidal ga bom kakor v dneh starodavnih;

¹²that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations who are called by my name,” says Yahweh who does this.

¹²da dobodo v last ostanek Edoma in vse narode, nad katerimi se je klicalo moje ime, govori GOSPOD, ki to napravlja.

¹³“Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.

¹³Glej, pridejo dnevi, govori GOSPOD, ko bo stopal orač precej za ženjcem in tlačilec grozdja takoj za sejalcem; in z gorá bo kapljalo sladko vino in vsi griči se raztajajo.

¹⁴I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

¹⁴In pripeljem nazaj ujetništvo ljudstva svojega Izraela; in zgradili bodo opustošena mesta in v njih prebivali, in zasajali bodo vinograde in vino iz njih pili, in narejali bodo vrtove in jedli sadje ž njih.In zasadim jih na njih zemljo, in ne bodo več izruvani iz zemlje svoje, ki sem jo jim dal, pravi GOSPOD, Bog tvoj.

¹⁵I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says Yahweh your God.

¹⁵In zasadim jih na njih zemljo, in ne bodo več izruvani iz zemlje svoje, ki sem jo jim dal, pravi GOSPOD, Bog tvoj.
