Isaiah 13
1 This is the burden against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz received:
Breme Babilona, ki ga je videl Izaija, Amócov sin.
2 Raise a banner on a barren hilltop; call aloud to them. Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
Dvignite prapor na visoki gori, povzdignite jim glas, mahajte z roko, da lahko vstopijo v velika vrata plemičev.
3 I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have even summoned My warriors to execute My wrath and exult in My triumph.
Svojim posvečenim sem zapovedal, zaradi moje jeze sem poklical tudi moje mogočne, celó tiste, ki se razveseljujejo v mojem visočanstvu.
4 Listen, a tumult on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations gathered together! The LORD of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war.
Hrup množice po gorah kakor od številnega ljudstva, bučen hrup kraljestev narodov, zbranih skupaj. Gospod nad bojevniki pregleduje vojsko za bitko.
5 They are coming from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens— the LORD and the weapons of His wrath— to destroy the whole country.
Prihajajo iz daljne dežele, od konca neba, celó Gospod in orožja njegovega ogorčenja, da uničijo celotno deželo.
6 Wail, for the Day of the LORD is near; it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
Tulite, kajti Gospodov dan je pri roki, ta bo prišel kakor uničenje od Vsemogočnega.
7 Therefore all hands will fall limp, and every man’s heart will melt.
Zato bodo vse roke oslabele in srce vsakega človeka se bo stopilo
8 Terror, pain, and anguish will seize them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look at one another, their faces flushed with fear.
in bali se bodo. Ostre bolečine in bridkosti se jih bodo polastile. V bolečinah bodo kakor ženska, ki je v porodnih mukah. Osupli bodo drug nad drugim, njihovi obrazi bodo kakor plameni.
9 Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming— cruel, with fury and burning anger— to make the earth a desolation and to destroy the sinners within it.
Glej, prihaja Gospodov dan, krut, z besom in silovito jezo, da naredi deželo opustošeno in njene grešnike bo pokončal iz nje.
10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.
Kajti zvezde neba in njegova ozvezdja ne bodo dajala svoje svetlobe. Sonce bo otemnelo v svojem vzhajanju in luna svoji svetlobi ne bo povzročila, da sveti.
11 I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the haughtiness of the arrogant and lay low the pride of the ruthless.
Zemeljski [krog] bom kaznoval zaradi njihovega zla in zlobne zaradi njihove krivičnosti in povzročil bom, da se aroganca ponosnih konča in ponižal bom oholost strašnih.
12 I will make man scarcer than pure gold, and mankind rarer than the gold of Ophir.
Človeka bom naredil dragocenejšega kakor čisto zlato, celo človeka kakor zlat klin iz Ofírja.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His burning anger.
Zato bom stresel nebo in zemlja se bo odmaknila iz svojega mesta, v besu Gospoda nad bojevniki in na dan njegove krute jeze.
14 Like a hunted gazelle, like a sheep without a shepherd, each will return to his own people, each will flee to his native land.
In bo kakor preganjana srna in kakor ovca, ki je nihče ne ujame. Obrnili se bodo vsak človek k svojemu lastnemu ljudstvu in vsak bo bežal v svojo lastno deželo.
15 Whoever is caught will be stabbed, and whoever is captured will die by the sword.
Vsak, kdor je najden, bo preboden in vsak, kdor jim je pridružen, bo padel pod mečem.
16 Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses will be looted, and their wives will be ravished.
Tudi njihovi otroci bodo razbiti na koščke pred njihovimi očmi, njihove hiše bodo oplenjene in njihove žene posiljene.
17 Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes, who have no regard for silver and no desire for gold.
Glej, zoper njih bom razvnel Medijce, ki se ne bodo ozirali na srebro in glede zlata, v njem se ne bodo razveseljevali.
18 Their bows will dash young men to pieces; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; they will not look with pity on the children.
Tudi njihovi loki bodo mladeniče raztreščili na koščke in ne bodo imeli usmiljenja do sadu maternice; njihovo oko ne bo prizaneslo otrokom.
19 And Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms, the glory of the pride of the Chaldeans, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.
Babilon, slava kraljestev, lepota kaldejske odličnosti, bo kakor, ko je Bog razdejal Sódomo in Gomóro.
20 She will never be inhabited or settled from generation to generation; no nomad will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flock there.
Ta ne bo nikoli naseljen niti se ne bo prebivalo v njem od roda do roda, niti tam Arabec ne bo postavil šotora, niti tam pastirji ne bodo postavljali svojih staj.
21 But desert creatures will lie down there, and howling creatures will fill her houses. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will leap about.
Temveč bodo tam ležale divje puščavske živali in njihove hiše bodo polne otožnih živih ustvarjenih bitij in sove bodo prebivale tam in kozjenogi bodo tam plesali.
22 Hyenas will howl in her fortresses and jackals in her luxurious palaces. Babylon’s time is at hand, and her days will not be prolonged.
Divje živali z otokov bodo klicale v njihovih zapuščenih hišah in zmaji v njihovih prijetnih palačah in njen čas je blizu, da pride in njeni dnevi ne bodo podaljšani.
