1Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard: There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.
1Gorje meni! ker mi je, kakor ko so obrali sadje, kakor ko paberkujejo v vinogradu: ni ga grozda, da bi ga použil, ne zgodnje smokve, ki je želi duša moja.
2The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.
2Pobožni je izginil z zemlje in ni ga poštenjaka med ljudmi: vsi skupaj preže na kri, vsak lovi svojega brata z mrežo.
3Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.
3Po zlu sta iztegnjeni obe roki, da se jim le posreči. Knez zahteva, in sodnik sodi za plačilo, in velikaš izreka pogubo, ki je želi, in tako spletajo vse vkup.
4The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.
4Najboljši izmed njih je kakor trnov grm, najpoštenejši je kakor trnje v plotu. Dan tvojih stražarjev, tvoje obiskovanje je prišlo; sedaj nastane njih zmešnjava.
5Don’t trust in a neighbor. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!
5Ne verujte prijatelju, ne zanašajte se na zaupnika; varuj vrata svojih ust pred njo, ki ti leži v naročju!
6For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
6Kajti sin se norčuje iz očeta, hči se upira materi, snaha tašči; sovražniki človeku so domačini njegovi.
7But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
7A jaz bom gledal na GOSPODA, čakal bom Boga rešenja svojega; usliši me Bog moj.
8Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.
8Ne veséli se nad menoj, sovražnica moja! ako sem padel, zopet vstanem; ako sedim v temi, GOSPOD mi je luč.
9I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light. I will see his righteousness.
9Srd GOSPODOV bom prenašal, kajti grešil sem zoper njega; dokler se ne potegne za pravdo mojo in ne izvrši sodbe zame. Privede me ven na luč, gledal bom pravičnost njegovo.
10Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, where is Yahweh your God? Then my enemy will see me and will cover her shame. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
10In videla bo to sovražnica moja, in sramota jo pokrije, ki mi je rekala: Kje je GOSPOD, Bog tvoj? Oči moje jo bodo z veseljem gledale: sedaj jo pogaze kakor blato na ulicah.
11A day to build your walls— In that day, he will extend your boundary.
11Dan pride, ko se zgrade zidovi tvoji. Tisti dan se daleč razširi tvoja meja;
12In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
12tisti dan pridejo k tebi iz Asirije in iz mest egiptovskih in od Egipta do velereke in od morja do morja in od gore do gore.
13Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
13In zemlja postane puščava zavoljo prebivalcev svojih, zavoljo sadu njih dejanj.
14Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest, in the midst of fertile pasture land, let them feed; in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
14„Pasi ljudstvo svoje s palico svojo, čredo svoje dediščine, ki osamela prebiva v gozdu, sredi Karmela; naj se pasejo v Basanu in Gileadu kakor v dneh starodavnih!“
15“As in the days of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.”
15Dam jim videti čudovita dela kakor v dneh, ko si šel iz dežele Egiptovske.
16The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be deaf.
16Poganski narodi bodo to videli in sram jih bode vse moči svoje; polože roke na usta, njih ušesa ogluše;
17They will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to Yahweh our God, and will be afraid because of you.
17prah bodo lizali kakor kače, kakor laznina na zemlji; pritrepetavali bodo iz gradov svojih; s strahom se obrnejo do GOSPODA, Boga našega, in bali se bodo spričo tebe.
18Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.
18Kdo je, Bog mogočni, enak tebi, ki odpuščaš krivico in izpregleduješ prestopek ostanku dediščine svoje? Ti ne držiš jeze vekomaj, ker se veseliš milosti.
19He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
19Ti se nas vnovič usmiliš, pogaziš krivice naše; ti vržeš v morja globočino vse grehe naše.Ti izkažeš resnico Jakobu in Abrahamu milost, kakor si jo prisegel očetom našim od dni starodavnih.
20You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
20Ti izkažeš resnico Jakobu in Abrahamu milost, kakor si jo prisegel očetom našim od dni starodavnih.
