1Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
1Daj, da zapojem o ljubljencu svojem, ljubega svojega pesem o vinogradu njegovem: Vinograd je imel ljubljenec moj na griču prerodovitnem.
2He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in its midst, and also cut out a winepress therein. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
2Prekopal ga je in mu potrebil kamenje in ga posadil s plemenitimi trtami; in sezidal je stolp sredi njega in tudi tlačilnico je izdolbel v njem. In je čakal, da obrodi grozdje, toda rodil je viniko.
3“Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
3Sedaj pa, prebivalci jeruzalemski in možje Judovi, sodite vendar med menoj in vinogradom mojim!
4What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?
4Kaj bi se še storilo vinogradu mojemu, česar bi ne bil že storil v njem? Zakaj, ko sem čakal, da obrodi grozdje, je rodil viniko?
5Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall of it, and it will be trampled down.
5Sedaj torej naj vam naznanim, kaj bom storil vinogradu svojemu: ograjo njegovo odpravim, da se bo paslo po njem, obzidje mu razvalim, da bodo teptali po njem.
6I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned nor hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”
6Dam ga v opustošenje: ne bo se obrezaval ne okopaval, a grmovje požene v njem in trnje, vrhutega zapovem oblakom, naj ne izpuščajo dežja nanj.
7For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry of distress.
7Vinograd GOSPODA nad vojskami je namreč hiša Izraelova in možje Judovi so rastlina radosti njegove. In ko je čakal pravoljubja, glej krvoprelitje, pravičnosti, a glej tožno vpitje!
8Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!
8Gorje vam, ki stikate hišo s hišo, ki devate njivo k njivi, da ni več prostora za druge, in vi sami prebivate sredi dežele!
9In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
9Meni na ušesa je rekel GOSPOD nad vojskami: Res, mnoge hiše bodo opustošene, velike in lepe, da ne bode prebivalca.
10For ten acres literally, ten yokes, or the amount of land that ten yokes of oxen can plow in one day, which is about 10 acres or 4 hectares. of vineyard shall yield one bath, 1 bath is about 22 litres or 5.8 U. S. gallons and a homer 1 homer is about 220 litres or 6 bushels of seed shall yield an ephah. 1 ephah is about 22 litres or 0.6 bushels or about 2 pecks)—only one tenth of what was sown. ”
10Zakaj deset oral vinogradov bo dalo le eno vedro in homer [Homer ima deset ef.] semena bo dal efo.
11Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
11Gorje jim, ki vstajajo rano zjutraj, da hodijo za pijačo opojno, ki sede pozno v noč, da jih vname vino!
12The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of Yahweh, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
12Pri njih pojedinah so strune in harfe, bobnice in piščal in vino; ali dela GOSPODOVEGA ne gledajo in stvaritve rok njegovih ne premišljajo!
13Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
13Zato pojde ljudstvo moje v sužnost, ker nima spoznanja; in imenitniki njegovi bodo stradali in množica njegova bode suha od žeje.
14Therefore Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.
14Zato poveča pekel [Hebr. šeol.] pohlepnost svojo in razširi žrelo svoje brezmerno, in vanj pade Jeruzalemcev dika in njih množica s hrupom svojim in kdor se raduje med njimi.
15So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
15In pripognjen bo človek prostak in ponižan mož odličnjak in oči prevzetnih se ponižajo.
16but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
16A povišan bo GOSPOD nad vojskami po sodbi, in Bog mogočni, Sveti, se izkaže svetega v pravičnosti. –
17Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
17In ovce se bodo ondi pasle kakor na pašniku svojem in tujci se bodo živili na opustošenih njivah bogatinov.
18Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope;
18Gorje jim, ki vlečejo za seboj krivico z vrvmi ničemurnosti, greh pa kakor z debelo žrdjo!
19Who say, “Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!”
19ki govore: Hiti naj, pospeši naj delo svoje, da bomo videli; in približa se naj in pride, kar je sklenil Svetnik Izraelov, da to spoznamo!
20Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
20Gorje jim, ki pravijo hudemu dobro in dobremu hudo, ki imajo temo za luč in luč za temo, ki delajo grenko za sladko in sladko za grenko!
21Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
21Gorje jim, ki so modri v svojih očeh in razumni sami pri sebi!
22Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
22Gorje jim, ki so junaki v pitju vina in vrli v mešanju pijače opojne;
23who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
23ki opravičujejo krivičnega zaradi daru in pravičnim jemljejo njih pravico!
24Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
24Zato kakor pokončuje strnišče ognja jezik in kakor gine suha trava od plamena, tako postane njih korenina kakor trhljad in njih cvet sprhne kakor prašek: ker so zaničevali postavo GOSPODA nad vojskami in zavrgli besedo Svetnika Izraelovega.
25Therefore Yahweh’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
25Zato se je vnel srd GOSPODOV zoper ljudstvo njegovo, in je iztegnil roko svojo in ga udaril tako, da so se potresle gore, in njih trupla so bila kakor smetje po ulicah. Pri vsem tem se ne odvrne jeza Njegova, še je roka Njegova iztegnjena.
26He will lift up a banner to the nations from far, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
26In povzdigne zastavo narodom iz daljave in jih sikajoč pokliče k sebi od kraja zemlje, in glej, hitro, urno pridejo.
27None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
27Nobeden ne bo pešal in nobeden se zadeval med njimi, nobeden ne bo dremal, ne spal, tudi se ne bo razvezaval pas ledja njegovega in ne bo se trgalo jermenje obuvala njegovega.
28whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
28Njih pšice bodo preostre in vsi njih loki napeti; njih konj kopita bodo podobna skali in njih kolesa podobna vrtincu.
29Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
29Njih rjovenje bo kakor levinje, rjoveli bodo kakor mladi levi; in rohneč bodo zgrabili plen in ga odnesli na varno, in nihče jim ga ne iztrga.In rohneli bodo nad Judo tisti dan, kakor ko besni morje; in če kdo pogleda na zemljo, glej, tema in stiska, in svetloba je otemnela vsled oblakov njenih.
30They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.
30In rohneli bodo nad Judo tisti dan, kakor ko besni morje; in če kdo pogleda na zemljo, glej, tema in stiska, in svetloba je otemnela vsled oblakov njenih.
