Isaiah 13
1 The word of the Lord about Babylon which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.
Breme Babilona, ki ga je videl Izaija, Amócov sin.
2 Put up a flag on a clear mountain-top, make a loud outcry to them, give directions with the hand, so that they may go into the doors of the great ones.
Dvignite prapor na visoki gori, povzdignite jim glas, mahajte z roko, da lahko vstopijo v velika vrata plemičev.
3 I have given orders to my holy ones, I have sent out my men of war, those of mine who take pride in their power, to give effect to my wrath.
Svojim posvečenim sem zapovedal, zaradi moje jeze sem poklical tudi moje mogočne, celó tiste, ki se razveseljujejo v mojem visočanstvu.
4 The noise of great numbers in the mountains, like the noise of a strong people! The noise of the kingdoms of the nations meeting together! The Lord of armies is numbering his forces 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 come from a far country, from the farthest part of heaven, even the Lord and the instruments of his wrath, with destruction for all the land.
Prihajajo iz daljne dežele, od konca neba, celó Gospod in orožja njegovega ogorčenja, da uničijo celotno deželo.
6 Send out a cry of grief; for the day of the Lord is near; it comes as destruction from the Most High.
Tulite, kajti Gospodov dan je pri roki, ta bo prišel kakor uničenje od Vsemogočnega.
7 For this cause all hands will be feeble, and every heart of man be turned to water;
Zato bodo vse roke oslabele in srce vsakega človeka se bo stopilo
8 Their hearts will be full of fear; pains and sorrows will overcome them; they will be in pain like a woman in childbirth; they will be shocked at one another; their faces will be like flames.
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 See, the day of the Lord is coming, cruel, with wrath and burning passion: to make the land a waste, driving the sinners in it to destruction.
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 its bright armies will not give their light: the sun will be made dark in his journey through the heaven, and the moon will keep back her 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 And I will send punishment on the world for its evil, and on the sinners for their wrongdoing; and I will put an end to all pride, and will make low the power of the cruel.
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 men so small in number, that a man will be harder to get than gold, even the best gold of Ophir.
Človeka bom naredil dragocenejšega kakor čisto zlato, celo človeka kakor zlat klin iz Ofírja.
13 For this cause the heavens will be shaking, and the earth will be moved out of its place, in the wrath of the Lord of armies, and in the day of his burning passion.
Zato bom stresel nebo in zemlja se bo odmaknila iz svojega mesta, v besu Gospoda nad bojevniki in na dan njegove krute jeze.
14 And it will be that, like a roe in flight, and like wandering sheep, they will go every man to his people and to his 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 Everyone who is overtaken will have a spear put through him, and everyone who goes in flight will be put to the sword.
Vsak, kdor je najden, bo preboden in vsak, kdor jim je pridružen, bo padel pod mečem.
16 Their young children will be broken up before their eyes; their goods will be taken away, and their wives made the property of others.
Tudi njihovi otroci bodo razbiti na koščke pred njihovimi očmi, njihove hiše bodo oplenjene in njihove žene posiljene.
17 See, I am driving the Medes against them, who put no value on silver and have no pleasure in gold.
Glej, zoper njih bom razvnel Medijce, ki se ne bodo ozirali na srebro in glede zlata, v njem se ne bodo razveseljevali.
18 In their hands are bows and spears; they are cruel, violently putting the young men to death, and crushing the young women; they have no pity for children, and no mercy for the fruit of the body.
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 glory of kingdoms, the beautiful town which is the pride of the Chaldaeans, will be like God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Babilon, slava kraljestev, lepota kaldejske odličnosti, bo kakor, ko je Bog razdejal Sódomo in Gomóro.
20 People will never be living in it again, and it will have no more men from generation to generation: the Arab will not put up his tent there; and those who keep sheep will not make it a resting-place for their flocks.
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 the beasts of the waste land will have their holes there; and the houses will be full of crying jackals, and ostriches will have their place there, and evil spirits will be dancing there.
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 And wolves will be answering one another in their towers, and jackals in their houses of pleasure: her time is near, and her days of power will quickly be ended.
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.
