Isaiah 28
1 Ho! crown of pride of those who are given up to wine in Ephraim, and the dead flower of his glory which is on the head of those who are overcome by strong drink!
Gorje kroni ponosa, efrájimskim pijancem, katerih veličastna lepota je odcvetena roža, ki je na čelu obilnih dolin tistih, ki so premagani z vinom.
2 See, the Lord has a strong and cruel one; like a rain of ice, a storm of destruction, like the overflowing of a strong river, he will violently overcome them.
Glej, Gospod ima mogočnega in močnega, ki bo kakor neurje s točo in uničujoč vihar, kakor poplava mogočnih vodá, ki preplavljajo, z roko vrgel dol k zemlji.
3 The crown of pride of those who are given up to wine in Ephraim will be crushed under foot;
Krona ponosa, efrájimski pijanci, bodo pomendrani pod stopali.
4 And the dead flower of his glory, which is on the head of the fertile valley, will be like the first early fruit before the summer; which a man takes and puts in his mouth the minute he sees it.
Veličastna lepota, ki je na čelu obilne doline, bo veneča roža in kakor zgodnji sad pred poletjem; ko ga tisti, ki pogleda nanj, vidi, ga pojé, medtem ko je še v njegovi roki.
5 In that day will the Lord of armies be a crown of glory, and a fair ornament, to the rest of his people;
Na tisti dan bo Gospod nad bojevniki za krono slave in za diadem lepote preostanku svojega ljudstva
6 And a spirit of wisdom to the judge, and strength to those who keep back the attackers at the door of the town.
in za duha sodbe tistemu, ki sedi na sodbi in za moč tistim, ki bitko odvračajo k velikim vratom.
7 And further, these are uncertain through wine, and have gone out of the right way through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are uncertain through strong drink, they are overcome by wine, they have gone out of the way through strong drink; their vision is false, they go wrong in their decisions.
Vendar so tudi oni zašli zaradi vina in zaradi močne pijače so omahnili iz poti; duhovnik in prerok sta zašla zaradi močne pijače, pogoltnjena sta od vina, zaradi močne pijače sta omahnila iz poti; motita se v videnju, spotikata se v sodbi.
8 For all the tables are covered with coughed-up food, so that there is not a clean place.
Kajti vse mize so polne izbljuvkov in umazanosti, tako da tam ni čistega prostora.
9 To whom will he give knowledge? and to whom will he make clear the word? Will it be to those who have newly given up milk, and who have only now been taken from the breast?
Koga bo učil spoznanja? In koga bo pripravil, da razume nauk? Tiste, ki so odstavljeni od mleka in odtegnjeni od prsi.
10 For it is one rule after another; one line after another; here a little, there a little.
Kajti predpis mora biti na predpis, predpis na predpis; ukaz na ukaz, ukaz na ukaz; malo tukaj in malo tam,
11 No, but with broken talk, and with a strange tongue, he will give his word to this people:
kajti z jecljajočimi ustnicami in drugim jezikom bo govoril temu ljudstvu.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest, give rest to him who is tired; and by this you may get new strength; but they would not give ear.
Katerim je rekel: »To je počitek, s katerim lahko izmučenemu storite, da počiva in to je osvežitev.« Vendar niso hoteli poslušati.
13 For this cause the word of the Lord will be to them rule after rule, line after line, here a little, there a little; so that they may go on their way, and falling back may be broken, and taken in the net.
Toda Gospodova beseda jim je bila predpis na predpis, predpis na predpis; ukaz na ukaz, ukaz na ukaz; malo tukaj in malo tam; da lahko gredo, padejo vznak, se zlomijo, se ulovijo in ujamejo.
14 Give ear then to the word of the Lord, you men of pride, the rulers of this people in Jerusalem:
Zato poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi posmehljivci, ki vladate temu ljudstvu, ki je v Jeruzalemu.
15 Because you have said, We have made death our friend, and with the underworld we have made an agreement; when the overflowing waters come through they will not come near us; for we are looking to false words for help, taking cover in what is untrue: (Sheol h7585)
Ker ste rekli: »Sklenili smo zavezo s smrtjo in s peklom smo v dogovoru. Ko bo šel skozi poplavljajoč bič, ta ne bo prišel k nam, kajti laži smo naredili za svoje zatočišče in pod neresnico smo se skrili.« (Sheol h7585)
16 For this cause says the Lord God, See, I am placing in Zion as a base, a stone, a tested stone, an angle-stone which is certain and of great value: and he who has faith will not give way.
Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: »Glej, na Sionu polagam za temelj kamen, preizkušen kamen, dragocen vogalni kamen, postavljen temelj. Kdor veruje, ne bo vznemirjeno hitel.
17 And I will make right decision the measuring-line, and righteousness the weight: and the ice-storm will take away the safe place of false words, and the secret place will be covered by the flowing waters.
Tudi sodbo bom položil k merilu in pravičnost h grezilu in toča bo pomedla zatočišče laži in vode bodo preplavile skrivališče.
18 And the help you were looking for from death will come to nothing, and your agreement with the underworld will be broken; when the overflowing waters come through, then you will be overcome by them. (Sheol h7585)
Vaša zaveza s smrtjo bo razveljavljena in vaš dogovor s peklom ne bo obstal; ko bo skozi šel preplavljajoč bič, potem boste z njim pomendrani. (Sheol h7585)
19 Whenever they come through they will overtake you; for they will come through morning after morning, by day and by night: and the news will be nothing but fear.
Od časa, ko gre ta naprej, vas bo zgrabil, kajti jutro za jutrom bo ta prehajal, podnevi in ponoči. To bo samo draženje, da razume poročilo.
20 For the bed is not long enough for a man to be stretched out on: and the cover is not wide enough for him to be covered with.
Kajti postelja je krajša, kakor se človek lahko iztegne na njej in pokrivalo ožje, kakor se lahko zavije vanj.
21 For the Lord will come up as on Mount Perazim, he will be moved to wrath as in the valley of Gibeon; so that he may do his work — strange is his work; and give effect to his act — unnatural is his act.
Kajti Gospod se bo dvignil kakor na gori Peracím, ogorčen bo kakor v dolini Gibeón, da lahko opravi svoje delo, svoje čudno delo in privede, da se njegovo dejanje zgodi, njegovo čudno dejanje.
22 And now, take care that you do not make sport of him, or your bands will be made strong; for I have had word from the Lord, the Lord of armies, of an end, of a complete end, which is to come on all the land.
Zdaj torej ne bodite zasmehovalci, da ne bi vaše vezi postale močne, kajti od Gospoda Boga nad bojevniki sem slišal uničenje, celo določeno nad celotno zemljo.
23 Let your ears be open to my voice; give attention to what I say.
Pazljivo prisluhnite in poslušajte moj glas, prisluhnite in poslušajte moj govor.
24 Is the ploughman for ever ploughing? does he not get the earth ready and broken up for the seed?
Mar orač orje ves dan, da bi sejal? Ali odpira in brana svojo zemljo?
25 When the face of the earth has been levelled, does he not put in the different sorts of seed, and the grain in lines, and the barley in its place, and the spelt at the edge?
Ko je njeno površino izravnal, mar ne meče naokoli pire, raztrosi kumino in meče noter glavno pšenico in določen ječmen in piriko na njihov prostor?
26 For his God is his teacher, giving him the knowledge of these things.
Kajti njegov Bog ga navaja k preudarnosti in ga uči.
27 For the fitches are not crushed with a sharp instrument, and a cart-wheel is not rolled over the cummin; but the grain of the fitches is hammered out with a stick, and of the cummin with a rod.
Kajti pira ni mlatena z mlatilno pripravo niti kolo voza obračano nad kumino, temveč je pira otepana s palico in kumina s šibo.
28 Is the grain for bread crushed? He does not go on crushing it for ever, but he lets his cart-wheels and his horses go over it without crushing it.
Krušno žito je zmleto, ker ga nikoli ne bo mlatil niti lomil s kolesom svojega voza niti ga poškodoval s konjeniki.
29 This comes from the Lord of armies, purposing wonders, and wise in all his acts.
Tudi to prihaja od Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki je čudovit v nasvetu in odličen v delu.
