Izaiáš 27
1 V ten den navštíví Hospodin mečem svým přísným, velikým a mocným Leviatana, hada dlouhého, a Leviatana, hada stočilého, a zabije draka, kterýž jest v moři.
At that time, Yahweh will punish Leviathan, the swift-moving monster/dragon, that coiling serpent that lives in the sea. Yahweh will kill it with his sharp, huge, and powerful sword.
2 V ten den o vinici výborné víno vydávající zpívejte.
At that time, [Yahweh will say], “You [Israeli people, who are like] [MET] a fruitful vineyard, must sing!
3 Já Hospodin, kterýž ji ostříhám, každé chvilky budu ji svlažovati, a aby jí někdo neuškodil, v noci i ve dne ji ostříhati.
I will [protect you] [like a farmer] [MET] waters his crops carefully [in order that they will grow well]. I will guard you day and night, in order that no one harms you.
4 Prchlivosti při mně žádné není. Kdož mi dá bodlák a trn, abych proti ní válčil, a spálil ji docela?
I am no [longer] angry [with my people]; [if any of your enemies try to injure you like briers and thorns injure people] [MET], I will attack them [in battles]; I will get rid of them completely,
5 Zdali sváže sílu mou, aby učinil se mnou pokoj, aby pravím, učinil se mnou pokoj?
unless they request me to protect them; I strongly invite them to make peace with me [DOU]!”
6 Vždyť na to přijde, že se vkoření Jákob, zkvetne a zroste Izrael, a naplní okršlek zemský ovocem.
There will be a time when the (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) will [prosper like] a plant that has good roots; they will be like [MET] trees that bud and blossom and bear a lot of fruit; [what they do will bless] all the people in the world.
7 Nebo zdaliž jej tak ubil, jako ubil nepřítele jeho? Zdali jej zamordoval, jako jsou jiní zmordováni od něho?
[But now I ask], has Yahweh punished us Israelis like he punished our enemies? Has he punished us as much as he punished them?
8 Vedlé míry trestal jej i tehdáž, když jej zavesti dal, ješto nepřítele zachvátil větrem svým tuhým východním.
[No, he has not done that], [but] he punished us Israeli people and (exiled us/forced us to leave our country); we were taken away from our land as though [SIM] we were struck by a windstorm from the east.
9 A protož tím způsobem očištěna bude nepravost Jákobova, a toť bude veliký užitek, že odejme hřích jeho, když rozmece všecko kamení oltáře jako kamení vápenné rozsypané, neostojí hájové, ani sluneční obrazové;
Yahweh did that in order to punish us for our sins, and remove our guilt. As a result [of our being exiled], all the altars to other gods [in Israel] will be demolished, and we will be forgiven for the sins that we have committed. There will be no more poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah, or altars for burning incense to other gods; they will all be torn down.
10 Když město hrazené zpustne, a bude příbytkem zavrženým a opuštěným jako poušť, tam pásti se bude tele, a tam léhati, a pokazí docela výstřelky jeho.
The cities that have strong walls around them will be empty; like the desert, they will have no one living in them. The houses will be abandoned, and the streets will be full of weeds. Calves will eat grass there and lie down there; they will chew up all the leaves on the trees.
11 Když počne zráti žeň jeho, potřína bude; ženy přijdouce, zapálí ji. Nebo ten lid nemá žádného rozumu; protož neslituje se nad ním učinitel jeho, a stvořitel jeho neučiní jemu milosti.
[The Israeli people are like] [MET] dry branches on a tree; women break them off and use them to make fires [under their cooking pots]. Our Israeli people do not have any sense; so Yahweh, who created them, will not act mercifully toward them or be kind to them.
12 I stane se v ten den, když pomstu uvoditi bude Hospodin od toku řeky až do potoka Egyptského, že vy, synové Izraelští, po jednom sebráni budete.
[However], there will be a time when Yahweh will gather them together [again; he will separate them from the people who have conquered them, like people] separate wheat from chaff. He will bring them [back to Israel], one by one, from [the land between] the Euphrates River [in the northeast] and the brook at the border of Egypt [in the southwest].
13 Stane se také v ten den, že troubeno bude trubou velikou, i přijdou, kteříž byli zahynuli v zemi Assyrské, a zahnáni byli do země Egyptské, a klaněti se budou Hospodinu na hoře svaté v Jeruzalémě.
At that time, a trumpet will be blown very loudly. And those who were exiled to Assyria and Egypt and who almost died there will return to Jerusalem, to worship Yahweh on [Zion], his holy hill.
