Izaiáš 22
1 Břímě údolí vidění. Cožť se stalo, že jsi vystoupilo všecko na střechy,
[I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Jerusalem, about the valley where [Yahweh showed me] this vision. Why is everyone foolishly running up to their [flat] rooftops?
2 Město plné hřmotu a hluku, město veselící se? Zbití tvoji nejsou zbiti mečem, ani zhynuli v boji.
Everyone in the city [seems to] be shouting. [There are a lot of] corpses [in the city], [but they] were not killed by [their enemies’] swords. They did not die in battles; [instead, they died from diseases and hunger].
3 Všecka knížata tvá rozprchla se napořád, od střelců svázána jsou. Což jich koli nalezeno jest v tobě, napořád svázáni jsou, zdaleka utíkají.
All the leaders of the city fled. [But then] they were captured because they did not have bows [and arrows to defend themselves]. Your [soldiers tried to] flee while the enemy [army] was still far away, but they also were captured.
4 Protož jsem řekl: Ponechejte mne, ať hořekuji s pláčem, a neusilujte mne těšiti nad popléněním dcerky lidu mého.
That is why I said, “Allow me to cry alone; do not try to comfort me [about my people being slaughtered].”
5 Nebo jest den ssoužení, a pošlapání, a v mysli sevření ode Pána, Hospodina zástupů, v údolí vidění, den boření zdi, a křiku k horám.
The Commander of the armies of angels has [chosen] a time when there will be a great uproar, [soldiers] marching, and people being terrified in the valley [where I received this] vision. [It will be a time when our city] walls will be battered down and [the people’s] cries [for help] will be heard in the mountains.
6 Byltě zajisté Elam pochytil toul s vozy lidu vojenského, a Kir ukázal pavézu.
The armies from Elam and Kir [in Media] will attack, driving chariots and carrying shields.
7 I stalo se, že nejvýbornější údolí tvá naplněna byla vozy, a vojáci silně položili se u brány,
Our beautiful valleys will be filled with [our enemies’] chariots and the men who drive the chariots will stand outside [our city] gates.
8 A odkryto bylo zastření Judovo; však obrátilo jsi zřetel v ten den k zbrojné komoře.
The walls that protect [the cities in] Judah will fall down. You [people of Jerusalem] will run to get the weapons [that are stored in the building called] “the Hall of the Forest”.
9 I k zbořeninám města Davidova dohlédli jste, nebo mnohé byly, a shromáždili jste vody rybníka dolního.
You will see that there are many breaks/holes in the walls of Jerusalem. You will store water in the lower pool [in the city].
10 Domy též Jeruzalémské sečtli jste, i pobořili, abyste utvrdili zed.
You will inspect the houses in Jerusalem, and [some of] them you will tear down to use the stones to repair the [city] wall.
11 Udělali jste také stav mezi dvěma zdmi pro vody rybníka starého, aniž jste popatřili k Učiniteli jeho, a toho, kdo jej vzdělal od starodávna, neviděli jste.
Between the walls [of the city] you will build a reservoir to [store] water from the old pool. But you will never request help from the one who made the city; you have never depended on Yahweh, who planned this city long ago.
12 Nadto když volal Pán, Hospodin zástupů, v ten den k pláči a k kvílení, a k lysině a k přepásání se žíní.
The Commander of the armies of angels told you to weep and mourn; he told you to shave your heads and to wear rough sackcloth to show that you were sorry for the sins that you had committed.
13 A aj, radost a veselí vaše zabijeti voly, a bíti ovce, jísti maso, a píti víno, a říkati: Jezme, píme, nebo zítra zemřeme.
But instead of doing that, you were happy and celebrating; you slaughtered cattle and sheep, [in order to cook their] meat and eat it and drink wine. You said, “Let’s eat and drink [all that we want to], because [it is possible that] we will die tomorrow!”
14 Ale známéť jest to v uších mých, praví Hospodin zástupů. Protož nikoli vám nebude odpuštěna ta nepravost, až i zemřete, praví Pán, Hospodin zástupů.
[So] the Commander of the armies of angels revealed this to me: “I will never forgive my people for sinning like this!”
15 Takto praví Pán, Hospodin zástupů: Jdi, vejdi k Sochitskému tomu, k Sobnovi správci domu, a řekni:
The Commander of the armies of angels said this [to me]: “Go to Shebna, the official who supervises the workers in the palace, and give this message to him:
16 Co ty zde máš? A koho zde máš, že jsi vytesal sobě zde hrob? Vytesals sobě na vysokém místě hrob svůj, a vystavěls na skále příbytek svůj.
'[Who do you think you are?] Who gave you the authority to build a beautiful tomb where you will be buried, chiseling it out of the rocky cliff high above this valley?
17 Aj, Hospodin, kterýž tě přistřel, jakž na muže znamenitého náleží, a kterýž tě výborně přioděl,
You [think that you are] [IRO] a great man, but Yahweh is about to hurl you away. [It will be as though] he will seize you,
18 Prudce tě zakulí jako kuli do země všelijak prostranné. Tam umřeš, tam i vozové slávy tvé, ó ohyzdo domu Pána svého.
and roll/crumple you into a ball and throw you away into a large distant land. You will die [and be buried] there, and your beautiful chariots will stay there [in the hands of your enemies]. And [because of what happens to you], your master, [the king], will be [very] ashamed/disgraced.
19 A tak seženu tě s místa tvého, a s úřadu tvého svrhu tě.
Yahweh will force you to quit working in the palace; you will be demoted from your important position.
20 I stane se v ten den, že povolám služebníka svého Eliakima syna Helkiášova,
Then I will summon Hilkiah’s son Eliakim, who has served serve me [well], to replace you.
21 A obleku jej v sukni tvou, a pasem tvým potvrdím ho, panování tvé také dám v ruku jeho. I bude za otce obyvatelům Jeruzalémským a domu Judovu,
I will allow him to wear your robe, and to fasten your sash around him, and I will give to him the authority that you had. He will be like [MET] a father to the people of Jerusalem and [all the other] towns in Judah.
22 A vložím klíč domu Davidova na rameno jeho. Když otevře, žádný nezavře, a když zavře, žádný neotevře.
I will give to him authority [MTY] over [what happens in] the palace where King David [lived]; when he decides something [MET], no one will be able to oppose it; when he refuses to do something, no one will be able to force him to do it.
23 A vbiji jej jako hřebík v místě pevném, a bude stolicí slávy domu otce svého.
I will cause his family to be greatly respected, because I will put him firmly in his position [as supervisor of the workers in the palace], like [SIM] a nail that is firmly hammered into a wall.
24 I zavěsí na něm synové a dcery všecku slávu domu otce jeho, všecko nádobí, i to nejmenší, od nádobí, z něhož se pije, až do všech nádob vinných.
Others will enable him to have much responsibility, with the result that all the members of his family, even the most insignificant ones, will be honored.'”
25 V ten den, praví Hospodin zástupů, pohne se hřebík, kterýž vbit byl v místě pevném, a vyťat bude, a spadne, odťato bude i břímě, kteréž jest na něm; nebo Hospodin mluvil.
[But] the Commander of the armies of angels also says, “[Shebna is like] [MET] a peg that is firmly fastened to the wall. But there will be a time when I will [remove him from his position]; he will lose his power/influence, and everything that he promoted [MET] will fail. [That will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh, have said it.”
