Izaiáš 1
1 Vidění Izaiáše syna Amosova, kteréž viděl o Judovi a Jeruzalému, za dnů Uziáše, Jotama, Achasa a Ezechiáše, králů Judských.
[I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
2 Slyšte nebesa, a ušima pozoruj země, nebo Hospodin mluví: Syny jsem vychoval a vyvýšil, oni pak strhli se mne.
This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
3 Vůl zná hospodáře svého, a osel jesle pánů svých; Izrael nezná, lid můj nesrozumívá.
Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
4 Ach, národe hříšný, lide obtížený nepravostí, símě zlostníků, synové nešlechetní, opustili Hospodina, pohrdli svatým Izraelským, odvrátili se zpět.
Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
5 Proč, čím více biti býváte, tím více se odvracujete? Všecka hlava jest neduživá, a všecko srdce zemdlené.
Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
6 Od zpodku nohy až do vrchu hlavy není na něm místa celého, jen rána a zsinalost, a zbití zahnojené, aniž se vytlačuje, ani uvazuje, ani olejem změkčuje.
[It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
7 Země vaše spustla, města vaše vypálena ohněm; zemi vaši před vámi cizozemci zžírají, a v poušť obracejí, tak jakž vše kazí cizozemci.
[It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
8 I zůstala dcera Sionská jako boudka na vinici, jako chaloupka v zahradě tykevné, a jako město zkažené.
The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
9 Byť nám byl Hospodin zástupů jakkoli malička ostatků nezanechal, byli bychom jako Sodoma, byli bychom Gomoře podobni.
If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
10 Slyšte slovo Hospodinovo, knížata Sodomská, ušima pozorujte zákona Boha našeho, lide Gomorský:
You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
11 K čemu jest mi množství obětí vašich? dí Hospodin. Syt jsem zápalných obětí skopců a tuků krmných hovad, a krve volků a beránků a kozlů nejsem žádostiv.
He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
12 Že přicházíte, abyste se ukazovali přede mnou, kdož toho z ruky vaší hledal, abyste šlapali síně mé?
When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
13 Nepřinášejte více oběti oklamání. Kadění v ohavnosti mám, novměsíců a sobot a svolávání nemohu trpěti, (nepravost jest), ani shromáždění.
Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
14 Novměsíců vašich a slavností vašich nenávidí duše má; jsou mi břemenem, ustal jsem, nesa je.
I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
15 Protož, když rozprostíráte ruce vaše, skrývám oči své před vámi, a když množíte modlitbu, neslyším; ruce vaše krve plné jsou.
[So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
16 Umejte se, očisťte se, odvrzte zlost skutků vašich od očí mých, přestaňte zle činiti.
Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
17 Učte se dobře činiti, hledejte soudu, pozdvihněte potlačeného, dopomozte k spravedlnosti sirotku, zastaňte vdovy.
Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
18 Poďtež nu, a poukažme sobě, praví Hospodin: Budou-li hříchové vaši jako červec dvakrát barvený, jako sníh zbělejí; budou-li červení jako šarlat, jako vlna budou.
Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
19 Budete-li povolní a poslušní, dobré věci země jísti budete.
If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
20 Pakli nebudete povolní, ale zpurní, od meče sežráni budete; nebo ústa Hospodinova mluvila.
But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
21 Jak tě nevěstkou učiněno to město věrné, plné soudu! Spravedlnost přebývala v něm, nyní pak vražedlníci.
“[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
22 Stříbro tvé obrátilo se v trůsky, víno tvé smíšeno s vodou.
Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
23 Knížata tvá zpurná a tovaryši zlodějů, jeden každý z nich miluje dary, a dychtí po úplatcích; sirotku k spravedlnosti nedopomáhají, a pře vdovy před ně nepřichází.
Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
24 Protož dí Pán, Hospodin zástupů, silný Izraelský: Aj, jáť se potěším nad protivníky svými, a vymstím se nad nepřátely svými,
Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
25 Když zase obrátím ruku svou na tě, až přepálím dočista trůsky tvé, a odejmu všecken cín tvůj,
I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
26 A obnovím soudce tvé tak jako na počátku, a rádce tvé jako s prvu. A tu potom slouti budeš městem spravedlnosti, městem věrným.
[After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
27 Sion v soudu vykoupen bude, a kteříž zase uvedeni budou do něho, v spravedlnosti.
Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
28 Setření pak přestupníků a nešlechetných v náhle přijde, a kteříž opouštějí Hospodina, docela zahynou.
But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
29 Nebo zahanbeni budete pro háje, po nichž jste toužili, a zastydíte se pro zahrady, kteréž jste sobě zvolili.
You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
30 Budete zajisté jako dub, s něhož lístí prší, a jako zahrada, v níž vody není.
You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
31 I bude nejsilnější jako koudel, a učinitel jeho jako jiskra; i bude to obé hořeti spolu, a nebude žádného, ješto by uhasiti mohl.
Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
