Esias 47
1 Come down, sit on the ground, O virgin daughter of Babylon: sit on the ground, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and luxurious.
Pridi dol in se usedi v prah, oh devica, hči babilonska. Sedi na tla; ni prestola, oh hči Kaldejcev, kajti ne boš več imenovana nežna in prefinjena.
2 Take a millstone, grind meal: remove your veil, uncover your white hairs, make bare the leg, pass through the rivers.
Vzemi mlinske kamne in melji moko. Odkrij svoja zagrinjala, razgali nogo, odkrij stegno, prebredi reke.
3 Your shame shall be uncovered, your reproaches shall be brought to light: I will exact of you due vengeance, I will no longer deliver you to men.
Tvoja nagota bo odkrita, da, tvoja sramota bo vidna. Maščeval se bom in ne bom te srečal kakor človek.
4 Your deliverer is the Lord of hosts, the Holy One of Israel is his name.
Glede našega odkupitelja, Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime, Sveti Izraelov.
5 Sit you down pierced with woe, go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: you shall no more be called the strength of a kingdom.
Sedi tiho in pojdi v temo, oh hči Kaldejcev, kajti ne boš več imenovana: ›Gospa kraljestev.‹
6 I have been provoked with my people; you have defiled mine inheritance: I gave them into your hand, but you did not extend mercy to them: you made the yoke of the aged man very heavy,
Ogorčen sem bil nad svojim ljudstvom, umazal sem svojo dediščino in jih predal v tvojo roko. Nobenega usmiljenja jim nisi pokazala, na starce si zelo težko položila svoj jarem.
7 and said, I shall be a princess for ever: you did not perceive these things in your heart, nor did you remember the latter end.
In ti praviš: ›Jaz bom gospa na veke.‹ Tako, da si teh stvari nisi vzela k srcu niti se nisi spomnila zadnjega konca tega.
8 But now hear these words, you luxurious one, [who are] the one that sits [at ease], that is secure, that says in her heart, I am, and there is not another; I shall not sit a widow, neither shall I know bereavement.
Zato poslušaj sedaj to, ti, ki si predana užitkom, ki brezskrbno prebivaš, ki v svojem srcu praviš: ›Jaz sem in nihče drug poleg mene; ne bom sedela kakor vdova niti ne bom poznala izgube otrok.‹
9 But now these two things shall come upon you suddenly in one day, the loss of children and widowhood shall come suddenly upon you, for your sorcery, for the strength of your enchantments,
Toda ti dve stvari bosta prišli k tebi v trenutku, v enem dnevu, izguba otrok in vdovstvo. Nadte bodo prišli v svoji popolnosti zaradi množice tvojih čarodejstev in zaradi silnega obilja tvojih izrekanj urokov.
10 for your trusting in wickedness: for you said, I am, and there is not another: know you, the understanding of these things and your harlotry shall be your shame; for you said in your heart, I am, and there is not another.
Kajti zaupala si v svojo zlobnost. Rekla si: ›Nihče me ne vidi.‹ Tvoja modrost in tvoje znanje te je sprevrglo in v svojem srcu si rekla: ›Jaz sem in nihče drug poleg mene.‹
11 And destruction shall come upon you, and you shall not be aware; [there shall be a] pit, and you shall fall into it: and grief shall come upon you, and you shall not be able to be clear; and destruction shall come suddenly upon you, and you shall not know.
Zato bo nadte prišlo zlo; ne boš vedela od kod vstaja in nate bo padla vragolija; ne boš je sposobna odložiti in opustošenje bo nenadoma prišlo nadte, ki ga ne boš poznala.
12 Stand now with your enchantments, and with the abundance of your sorcery, which you have learnt from your youth; if you can be profited.
Postavi se sedaj s svojimi izrekanji urokov in z množico svojih čarodejstev, s katerimi si se trudila od svoje mladosti, če ti bo to lahko koristilo, če boš lahko prevladala.
13 You are wearied in your counsels. Let now the astrologers of the heaven stand and deliver you, let them that see the stars tell you what is about to come upon you.
Izmučena si v množici svojih nasvetov. Naj sedaj astrologi, zvezdogledi in mesečni napovedovalci vstanejo in te rešijo pred temi stvarmi, ki bodo prišle nadte.
14 Behold, they all shall be burnt up as sticks in the fire; neither shall they at all deliver their life from the flame. Because you have coals of fire, sit you upon them;
Glej, so kakor strnišče, ogenj jih bo sežgal, ne bodo se osvobodili iz oblasti plamena. Tam ne bo žerjavice, da bi se ob njej ogreli niti ognja, da bi pred njim sedeli.
15 these shall be your help. You have wearied yourself with traffic from your youth: every man has wandered to his own home, but you shall have no deliverance.
Takšni ti bodo tisti, s katerimi si se trudila, celó tvoji trgovci od tvoje mladosti. Tavali bodo vsakdo k svoji četrti, nihče te ne bo rešil.
