Izaiáš 10
1 Běda těm, kteříž ustanovují práva nepravá, a spisovatelům, kteříž těžkosti spisují,
Terrible things will happen to you judges who are unjust and who make unfair laws.
2 Aby odstrkovali nuzné od soudu, a vydírali spravedlnost chudých lidu mého, vdovy aby byly kořist jejich, a sirotky aby loupili.
You refuse to help poor people, and you do not allow them to get the things that they should get. You [allow people to] steal things from widows and do unfair things to orphans.
3 I což učiníte v den navštívení a zpuštění, kteréž zdaleka přijde? K komu se o pomoc utečete? A kde zanecháte slávy své,
When I punish you by sending people from distant lands to cause you to experience disasters, (to whom will you run to get help?/there will be no one who can help you.) [RHQ] Your valuable possessions will certainly [not be safe] [RHQ] anywhere.
4 By nemusila skloniti se mezi vězni, a mezi zbitými klesnouti? Ve všem tom neodvrátí se prchlivost jeho, ale předce ruka jeho bude vztažená.
You will be able only to stumble along as you are taken away with other prisoners, or [else] your corpses will lie on the ground with others who have been killed. But even after that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry with you. He will still be ready to strike you again with his fist.
5 Běda Assurovi, metle hněvu mého, ačkoli hůl rozhněvání mého jest v rukou jeho,
[Yahweh says], “Terrible things will happen to Assyria. [It is true that their army] is like a rod/club [DOU] with which I [punish other nations] because I am very angry with those nations [DOU].
6 A na národ ošemetný pošli jej, a o lidu hněvu mého přikáži jemu, aby směle bral kořisti, a loupil bez milosti, a položil jej v pošlapání jako bláto na ulicích.
[Sometimes] I send the armies of Assyria to attack a godless nation, to fight against [other] people who have caused me to be angry. I send them to capture people and to seize and take away their possessions, and to trample them like [SIM] people walk on mud in the streets.
7 Ale on ne tak se bude domnívati, ani srdce jeho tak mysliti bude; nebo srdce jeho jest hubiti a pléniti národy mnohé.
But the [king of Assyria] does not understand, he does not realize [that he is only like a weapon in my hand]. He wants [only] to destroy people, to get rid of many nations.
8 Nebo řekne: Zdaliž knížata má nejsou také i králové?
He says, ‘All of my army commanders will soon be kings [of these nations that I conquer]!
9 Zdaliž jako Charkemis není Chalno? Zdali není jako Arfad Emat? Zdali není jako Damašek Samaří?
We destroyed Calno [city] like we destroyed Carchemish [city], We destroyed Hamath [city] like we destroyed Arpad [city]; we destroyed Samaria just like we destroyed Damascus.
10 Jakož nalezla ruka má království bohů, ješto rytiny jejich byly nad Jeruzalémských a Samařských,
We were able to destroy [all] those kingdoms [that were full] of idols, kingdoms whose idols were greater than the idols in Jerusalem and Samaria.
11 Zdaliž jako jsem učinil Samaří a modlám jeho, tak neučiním Jeruzalému a obrazům jeho?
So we will defeat Jerusalem and destroy the idols that are there, just like we destroyed Samaria and the idols that were there!’
12 I staneť se, když dokoná Pán všecko dílo své na hoře Sion a v Jeruzalémě, že navštívím ovoce pyšného srdce krále Assyrského, a nádhernost vysokých očí jeho.
[But, I, Yahweh, say that] after I [have used Assyria to] finish what I want to do to punish the people in Jerusalem [DOU], I will punish the king of Assyria because he has been very proud and arrogant/boastful [DOU].
13 Nebo řekne: V síle ruky své to jsem vykonal, a v moudrosti své; nebo jsem rozumný byl, a odjal jsem meze národů, a poklady jejich jsem vzebral, a strhl jsem dolů, jako mocný, obyvatele.
He says, ‘By my own great power [MTY] I have done these things. I have been able to do them because I am very wise and very intelligent. My army removed the barriers [at the borders] of nations and carried away all their valuable things. My army has knocked down their kings like [SIM] a ferocious bull would.
14 Anobrž jako hnízdo nalezla ruka má zboží národů, a jako zbírána bývají vejce opuštěná, tak všecku zemi já jsem sebral, aniž byl, kdo by křídlem hnul, aneb otevřel ústa a siptěl.
Like [MET] a farmer reaches into a bird’s nest [to take away the eggs], we have taken away the treasures of other countries [DOU]. The people were not like birds that would flap their wings or chirp loudly [to protest about their eggs being stolen]; the people did not object at all [to their treasures being stolen].’
15 Zdaliž se bude sekera velebiti nad toho, kdož ní seká? Zdaliž se honositi bude pila nad toho, kdož ní tře? Jako by se zpínala metla proti tomu, kdož by ji zdvihl; jako by se chlubila hůl, že není dřevem.
[But I, Yahweh, say that] an axe certainly cannot [RHQ] boast about being stronger than the person who uses it, and a saw is not greater than the person who uses it. A rod cannot control the one who holds it [RHQ], and a wooden club cannot lift up a person [RHQ]. [So the king of Assyria should not boast that he has done these things with his own wisdom and strength].
16 Protož pošle Pán, Hospodin zástupů, na vytylé jeho vyzáblost, a po zpodku slávu jeho prudce zapálí, jako silný oheň.
And [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, will send a plague among the proud soldiers of Assyria; it will be like [MET] a fire that will kill them and get rid of their glory/wealth.
17 Nebo světlo Izraelovo bude ohněm, a Svatý jeho plamenem, i spálí a sžíře trní i bodláčí jeho jednoho dne.
[I], Yahweh, who am like [MET] a light for the people of Israel, will be the fire; [I], the Holy One, will be like a flame. [The soldiers of Assyria are like] [MET] thorns and briers, and I will burn them up in one night.
18 Též spanilost lesu jeho, i úrodných polí jeho, od duše až do těla, všecko vyhubí. I stane se, že předěšený jsa, bude utíkati.
There are glorious forests and fertile farmlands in Assyria, but I will completely destroy them; they will be like [SIM] a [very] sick person who shrivels up and then dies.
19 A pozůstalého dříví lesu jeho malý počet bude, tak že by je mohlo dítě popsati.
There will be very few trees left in those forests; even a child will be able to count them.”
20 I stane se v ten den, nebudou více ostatkové Izraelští a pozůstalí z domu Jákobova zpoléhati na toho, kdož je tepe, ale zpoléhati budou na Hospodina, Svatého Izraelského v pravdě.
In the future there will be only a few people left in Israel; not many descendants of Jacob will still be alive. [But] they will no longer rely on [the king of Assyria], [the king of the nation] that tried to destroy them. Instead, they will faithfully/sincerely trust in Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel.
21 Ostatkové obrátí se, ostatkové Jákobovi k Bohu silnému, reku udatnému.
Those Israelis will return to their mighty God.
22 Nebo byť bylo lidu tvého, Izraeli, jako písku mořského, ostatkové jeho obrátí se. Pohubení uložené rozhojní spravedlnost.
[Now], the people of Israel are as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore, but only a few of them will return [from the countries to which they were exiled]. Yahweh has decided to destroy [most of the Israelis] and that is what [he must do because he is completely] just/righteous.
23 Pohubení, pravím, a to jisté, Pán, Hospodin zástupů, učiní u prostřed vší této země.
[Yes, ] the Commander of the armies of angels has [already] decided to destroy the entire land [of Israel].
24 Protož takto praví Pán, Hospodin zástupů: Neboj se Assyrského, lide můj, kterýž přebýváš na Sionu. Prutem umrská tě, a holí svou opřáhne na tebe na cestě Egyptské.
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “My people in Jerusalem, do not be afraid of the army of Assyria when they beat you with rods and clubs, like the men of Egypt did [to your ancestors long ago].
25 Po maličkém zajisté času dokoná se hněv a prchlivost má k vyhlazení jich.
Soon I will no longer be angry with you, and [then] I will be angry with the people of Assyria and destroy them!”
26 Nebo vzbudí na něj Hospodin zástupů bič, jako porážku Madianských na skále Goréb, a jakož pozdvihl holi své na moře, tak jí pozdvihne na něj, na cestě Egyptské.
The Commander of the armies of angels will whip them. He will do to them like he did when he helped Gideon [and his 300 soldiers] to defeat the [army of the] Midian people-group, and like he did when he showed his mighty power [MTY] [by causing the army of Egypt to drown] in the [Red] Sea.
27 I stane se v ten den, že složeno bude břímě jeho s ramene tvého, a jho jeho s šíje tvé, nýbrž zkaženo bude jho od přítomnosti pomazaného.
Some day, Yahweh will cause the army of Assyria to stop oppressing you, [his people]; he will end your suffering and your being slaves of the people of Assyria [MET]; he will take away the load that you people of Judah have been carrying, and cause things to go well for you.
28 Přitáhne do Aiat, přejde přes Migron, v Michmas složí nádobí svá.
[The army of Assyria will enter northern Judah] near Aiath [town], they will go through Migron [town] and store their supplies at Micmash [town north of Jerusalem].
29 Projdou průchod, v Gabaa budou míti hospodu k přenocování; ulekne se Ráma, Gabaa Saulovo uteče.
They will cross through a mountain pass and set up their tents at Geba [town]. [People in] Ramah [town] will tremble [because of being afraid]. [The people of] Gibeah [town], where King Saul [was born], will [all] run away.
30 Naříkej hlasem svým, město Gallim, ať se slyší v Lais: Ach, ubohá Anatot.
You people of Gallim [town] will cry out [for help]. You will shout to [the people of] Laish [city near Jerusalem] to warn them! [The people of] Anathoth [town] will suffer a lot.
31 Pohne se Madmena, obyvatelé Gábim schopí se.
[The people of] Madmenah [town north of Jerusalem will all] be running away, and [the people of] Gebim [town close to Jerusalem] will be trying to hide.
32 Ještě téhož dne zastavě se v Nobe, pohrozí rukou svou hoře dcery Sionské, pahrbku Jeruzalémskému.
The soldiers of Assyria will stop at Nob [city outside Jerusalem]. They will shake their fists [as they threaten the people] on Zion Hill in Jerusalem.
33 Aj, Panovník Hospodin zástupů oklestí vší silou ratolesti, ty pak, kteříž jsou vysokého zrostu, podetne; i budou vysocí sníženi.
But listen to this! The Commander of the armies of angels with his great power will destroy [MET] the mighty army of Assyria. [It is as though they are] a huge tree [MET] that he will cut down.
34 Vyseká též houšť lesů sekerou, i Libán od velikomocného padne.
He will destroy the [soldiers of Assyria] like men use big axes to cut down the tall trees in the forests of Lebanon.
