Isaiah 9
1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those in distress. In the past He humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future He will honor the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
Kljub temu temačnost ne bo takšna, kot je bila v njenem draženju, ko je najprej blago stiskal deželo Zábulon in deželo Neftáli in jo je potem bolj boleče stiskal ob poti morja, onkraj Jordana, v poganski Galileji.
2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
Ljudstvo, ki je hodilo v temi, je zagledalo veliko svetlobo. Na tiste, ki prebivajo v deželi smrtne sence, je posvetila svetloba.
3 You have enlarged the nation and increased its joy. The people rejoice before You as they rejoice at harvest time, as men rejoice in dividing the plunder.
Pomnožil si narod in nisi povečal radosti. Radostijo se pred teboj, v skladu z radostjo ob žetvi in kakor se ljudje veselijo, ko delijo plen.
4 For as in the day of Midian You have shattered the yoke of their burden, the bar across their shoulders, and the rod of their oppressor.
Kajti zlomil si jarem njegovega bremena in palico njegovega ramena, palico njegovega zatiralca, kakor na dan Midjána.
5 For every trampling boot of battle and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.
Kajti vsaka bitka bojevnika je z zmedenim hrupom in oblekami, povaljanimi v krvi, toda ta bo z gorenjem in gorivom ognju.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Kajti nam je rojen otrok, nam je dan sin in oblast bo na njegovem ramenu in njegovo ime bo imenovano Čudoviti, Svetovalec, Mogočni Bog, Večni Oče, Princ miru.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.
Povečanju njegovega vladarstva in miru ne bo konca nad Davidovem prestolom in nad njegovim kraljestvom, da to odredi in da to osnuje s sodbo in s pravico od tega časa naprej, celo na veke. Gorečnost Gospoda nad bojevniki bo to izvršila.
8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.
Gospod je poslal besedo Jakobu in jo vžgal nad Izraelom.
9 All the people will know it— Ephraim and the dwellers of Samaria. With pride and arrogance of heart they will say:
Vse ljudstvo bo vedelo, celó Efrájim in prebivalec Samarije, ki v ponosu in arogantnosti srca govorijo:
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with finished stone; the sycamores have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”
»Opeke so padle, toda mi bomo gradili s klesanimi kamni. Egiptovske smokve so posekane, toda mi jih bomo zamenjali s cedrami.«
11 The LORD has raised up the foes of Rezin against him and joined his enemies together.
Zato bo Gospod zoper njega postavil Recínove nasprotnike in skupaj združil njegove sovražnike,
12 Aram from the east and Philistia from the west have devoured Israel with open mouths. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
spredaj Sirce in zadaj Filistejce in Izrael bodo požrli z odprtimi usti. Zaradi vsega tega njegova jeza ni odvrnjena, temveč je njegova roka še vedno iztegnjena.
13 But the people did not return to Him who struck them; they did not seek the LORD of Hosts.
Kajti ljudstvo se ne obrača k tistemu, ki jih udarja niti ne iščejo Gospoda nad bojevniki.
14 So the LORD will cut off Israel’s head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day.
Zato bo Gospod v enem dnevu iz Izraela iztrebil glavo in rep, palmovo vejo in ločje.
15 The head is the elder and honorable man, and the tail is the prophet who teaches lies.
Starec in častitljiv, ta je glava, prerok pa, ki uči laži, ta je rep.
16 For those who guide this people mislead them, and those they mislead are swallowed up.
Kajti voditelji tega ljudstva jim povzročajo, da se motijo in tisti, ki so vodeni od njih, so uničeni.
17 Therefore the Lord takes no pleasure in their young men; He has no compassion on their fatherless and widows. For every one of them is godless and wicked, and every mouth speaks folly. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Zato Gospod ne bo imel nobene radosti v njihovih mladeničih niti ne bo imel usmiljenja do njihovih sirot in vdov, kajti vsakdo je hinavec in hudodelec in vsaka usta govorijo neumnost. Zaradi vsega tega njegova jeza ni odvrnjena, temveč je njegova roka še vedno iztegnjena.
18 For wickedness burns like a fire that consumes the thorns and briers and kindles the forest thickets which roll upward in billows of smoke.
Kajti zlobnost gori kakor ogenj. Ta bo požrl osat in trnje in vnel gozdne goščave in vzdignili se bodo kakor vzdigovanje dima.
19 By the wrath of the LORD of Hosts the land is scorched, and the people are fuel for the fire. No man even spares his brother.
Preko besa Gospoda nad bojevniki je dežela zatemnjena in ljudstvo bo kakor gorivo ognju. Noben človek ne bo prizanesel svojemu bratu.
20 They carve out what is on the right, but they are still hungry; they eat what is on the left, but they are still not satisfied. Each one devours the flesh of his own offspring.
Hlastal bo na desnici in bo lačen, jedel bo na levici, pa ne bodo nasičeni. Vsak človek bo jedel meso svojega lastnega lakta:
21 Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; together they turn against Judah. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Manáse Efrájima in Efrájim Manáseja in skupaj bosta zoper Juda. Zaradi vsega tega njegova jeza ni odvrnjena, temveč je njegova roka še vedno iztegnjena.
