Isaiah 29
1 Ho! Ariel, Ariel, the town against which David made war; put year to year, let the feasts come round:
Gorje Ariélu, Ariélu, mestu, kjer je prebival David! Dodajte letu leto; naj ubijejo žrtve.
2 And I will send trouble on Ariel, and there will be weeping and cries of grief; and she will be to me as Ariel.
Vendar bom Ariél spravil v tegobo in tam bo potrtost in bridkost in ta mi bo kakor Ariél.
3 And I will make war on you like David, and you will be shut in by earthworks, and I will make towers round you.
Utaboril se bom naokoli zoper tebe in zoper tebe bom položil obleganje z nasipom in zoper tebe bom dvignil utrdbe.
4 And you will be made low, and your voice will come out of the earth, and your words will be low out of the dust; and your voice will come out of the earth like that of a spirit, making bird-like noises out of the dust.
Ponižan boš in govoril boš iz zemlje in tvoj govor iz prahu bo znižan in tvoj glas bo kakor od nekoga, ki ima osebnega duha iz zemlje in tvoj govor bo šepetal iz prahu.
5 And the army of your attackers will be like small dust, and all the cruel ones like dry stems gone before the wind; suddenly it will come about.
Poleg tega bo množica tvojih tujcev podobna drobnemu prahu in množica strahovitežev bo kakor pleve, ki mineva. Da, to bo v trenutku, nenadoma.
6 The Lord of armies will come in with thunder and earth-shaking and great noise, with rushing wind and storm, and the flame of burning fire.
Od Gospoda nad bojevniki boš obiskan z gromom in s potresom in z velikim hrupom, z viharjem, neurjem in plamenom požirajočega ognja.
7 And all the nations making war on Ariel, and all those who are fighting against her and shutting her in with their towers, will be like a dream, like a vision of the night.
Množica vseh narodov, ki se bori zoper Ariél, celo vsi, ki se borijo proti njemu in njegovemu oporišču in ki ga stiskajo, bodo kakor sanje nočnega videnja.
8 And it will be like a man desiring food, and dreaming that he is feasting; but when he is awake there is nothing in his mouth: or like a man in need of water, dreaming that he is drinking; but when he is awake he is feeble and his soul is full of desire: so will all the nations be which make war on Mount Zion.
To bo torej kakor kadar lačen človek sanja in glej, on jé; toda zbuja se, njegova duša pa je prazna. Ali kakor kadar žejen človek sanja in glej pije; toda zbudi se in glej, je oslabel, njegova duša pa ima apetit. Takšna bo množica vseh narodov, ki se borijo zoper goro Sion.
9 Be surprised and full of wonder; let your eyes be covered and be blind: be overcome, but not with wine; go with uncertain steps, but not because of strong drink.
Ustavite se in se čudite, strmite in glejte. Pijani so, toda ne zaradi vina; omahujejo, toda ne zaradi močne pijače.
10 For the Lord has sent on you a spirit of deep sleep; and by him your eyes, the prophets, are shut, and your heads, the seers, are covered.
Kajti Gospod je na vas izlil duha globokega spanja in zaprl vaše oči. Preroke in vaše vladarje, vidce je pokril.
11 And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book which is shut, which men give to one who has knowledge of writing, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I am not able to, for the book is shut:
Videnje vsega vam je postalo kakor besede knjige, ki je zapečatena, ki jo ljudje izročijo nekomu, ki je učen, rekoč: ›Beri to, prosim te.‹ Ta pa pravi: ›Ne morem, kajti zapečatena je.‹
12 And they give it to one without learning, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I have no knowledge of writing.
In knjiga je izročena tistemu, ki ni učen, rekoč: ›Beri to, prosim te.‹ In ta pravi: ›Nisem učen.‹
13 And the Lord said, because this people come near to me with their mouths, and give honour to me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is false, a rule given them by the teaching of men;
Zato je Gospod rekel: »Ker se mi to ljudstvo približuje s svojimi usti in me časti s svojimi ustnicami, toda svoje srce so odstranili daleč proč od mene in je njihov strah proti meni naučen s človeškimi predpisi,
14 For this cause I will again do a strange thing among this people, a thing to be wondered at: and the wisdom of their wise men will come to nothing, and the sense of their guides will no longer be seen.
zato, glej, nadaljeval bom, da storim čudovito delo med tem ljudstvom, celó čudovito delo in čudo, kajti modrost njihovih modrih mož bo izginila in razumevanje njihovih preudarnih mož bo skrito.
15 Cursed are those who go deep to keep their designs secret from the Lord, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and who has knowledge of our acts?
Gorje tistim, ki globoko iščejo, da skrijejo svoj naklep pred Gospodom in so njihova dela v temi in govorijo: »Kdo nas vidi? In kdo nas pozna?«
16 You are turning things upside down! Is the wet earth the same to you as the one who is forming it? will the thing made say of him who made it, He made me not: or the thing formed say of him who gave it form, He has no knowledge?
Zagotovo bo vaše sprevračanje stvari na glavo veljalo kakor lončarjevo ilo. Mar bo delo reklo o tistem, ki ga je naredil: »Ta me ni naredil?« Mar bo oblikovana stvar rekla o tistem, ki jo je oblikoval: »Ta nima razumevanja?«
17 In a very short time Lebanon will become a fertile field, and the fertile field will seem like a wood.
Mar ni le še malo in Libanon bo spremenjen v rodovitno polje in rodovitno polje bo veljalo kakor gozd?
18 And in that day those whose ears are stopped will be hearing the words of the book; and the eyes of the blind will see through the mist and the dark.
Na ta dan bodo gluhi slišali besede iz knjige in oči slepega bodo videle iz nejasnosti in iz teme.
19 And the poor will have their joy in the Lord increased, and those in need will be glad in the Holy One of Israel.
Tudi krotki bodo povečali svojo radost v Gospodu in revni med možmi se bodo razveseljevali v Svetem Izraelovem.
20 For the cruel one has come to nothing; and those who make sport of the Lord are gone; and those who are watching to do evil are cut off:
Kajti strahovitež je priveden v nič in posmehljivec je použit in vsi tisti, ki so pozorni na krivičnost, so iztrebljeni;
21 Who give help to a man in a wrong cause, and who put a net for the feet of him who gives decisions in the public place, taking away a man's right without cause.
ki človeka delajo za prestopnika zaradi besede in polagajo zanko za tistega, ki graja pri velikih vratih in pravičnega odvračajo zaradi ničnosti.
22 For this reason the Lord, the saviour of Abraham, says about the family of Jacob, Jacob will not now be put to shame, or his face be clouded with fear.
Zato tako govori Gospod, ki je odkupil Abrahama, glede Jakobove hiše: »Jakob sedaj ne bo osramočen niti njegov obraz sedaj ne bo obledel.
23 But when they, the children of Jacob, see the work of my hands among them, they will give honour to my name; yes, they will give honour to the Holy One of Jacob, and go in fear of the God of Israel.
Temveč ko vidi svoje otroke, delo mojih rok v svoji sredi, bodo posvetili moje ime in posvetili Svetega Jakobovega in se bodo bali Izraelovega Boga.
24 Those whose hearts were turned away from him will get knowledge, and those who made an outcry against him will give attention to his teaching.
Tudi tisti, ki so se motili v duhu, bodo prišli k razumevanju in tisti, ki so godrnjali, se bodo naučili nauka.
