< Isaiah 7 >

1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight against it.
Pripetilo se je v dneh Aháza, Jotámovega sina, Uzíjahovega sina, Judovega kralja, da sta Recín, sirski kralj in Pékah, Remaljájev sin, Izraelov kralj, odšla gor proti Jeruzalemu, da se bojujeta zoper njega, toda nista mogla prevladati zoper njega.
2 And it was told the house of David saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. Then his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest are shaken with the wind.
Davidovi hiši je bilo povedano, rekoč: »Sirija je združena z Efrájimom.« Njegovo srce je vztrepetalo in srce njegovega ljudstva, kakor gozdna drevesa trepetajo v vetru.
3 And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field;
Potem je Gospod rekel Izaiju: »Pojdi sedaj naprej, da srečaš Aháza, ti in tvoj sin Šeár Jašúb, pri koncu kanala zgornjega ribnika, na glavni cesti pralčevega polja
4 and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
in mu reci: ›Pazi se in bodi tiho. Ne boj se niti naj ti srce ne peša zaradi dveh repov teh kadečih kosov tlečega lesa, zaradi krute Recínove jeze s Sirijo in [zaradi] Remaljájevega sina.
5 Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim [also] and the son of Remaliah, saying,
Ker so Sirija, Efrájim in Remaljájev sin sprejeli hudoben nasvet zoper tebe, rekoč:
6 Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein — the son of Tabeal;
›Pojdimo gor zoper Juda in ga razjezimo in si v njem naredimo vrzel zase in v njegovi sredi postavimo kralja, celó Tabeálovega sina, ‹
7 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor come to pass;
tako govori Gospod Bog: ›To ne bo obstalo niti se to ne bo zgodilo.
8 for the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years shall Ephraim be broken, so as to be no [more a] people;
Kajti glava Sirije je Damask in glava Damaska je Recín. V petinšestdesetih letih bo Efrájim zlomljen, da ne bo ljudstvo.
9 and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established.
Glava Efrájima je Samarija in glava Samarije je Remaljájev sin. Če ne boste verjeli, zagotovo ne boste utrjeni.‹«
10 And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Poleg tega je Gospod ponovno spregovoril Aházu, rekoč:
11 Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
»Izprosi si znamenje od Gospoda, svojega Boga, prosi ga ali v globini ali na višini zgoraj.« (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and will not tempt Jehovah.
Toda Aház je rekel: »Ne bom prosil niti ne bom skušal Gospoda.«
13 And he said, Hear then, house of David: Is it a small matter for you to weary men, that ye weary also my God?
In ta je rekel: »Poslušajte sedaj, oh Davidova hiša: › Ali je za vas malenkost, da izmučite ljudi, toda ali hočete izmučiti tudi mojega Boga?‹
14 Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel.
Zato vam bo sam Gospod dal znamenje: ›Glejte, devica bo spočela, rodila sina in njegovo ime bo klicala Emanuel.
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
Maslo in med bo jedel, da bo znal odkloniti zlo in izbrati dobro.
16 For before the child knoweth to refuse the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings thou fearest shall be forsaken.
Kajti preden bo otrok znal odkloniti zlo in izbrati dobro, bo dežela, ki jo preziraš, postala zapuščena od obeh njunih kraljev.‹
17 Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which have not come since the day when Ephraim turned away from Judah — [even] the king of Assyria.
Gospod bo nadte in nad tvoje ljudstvo in nad hišo tvojega očeta privedel dneve, ki niso prišli od dni, ko je Efrájim odšel od Juda, celó asirskega kralja.«
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly which is at the extremity of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria;
Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo Gospod požvižgal muhi, ki je na najbolj oddaljenem delu egiptovskih rek in čebeli, ki je v asirski deželi.
19 and they shall come and settle all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorn-bushes, and on all the pastures.
Prišle bodo in vse izmed njih bodo počivale po zapuščenih dolinah, v skalnih jamah, na vsem trnju in po vsem grmovju.
20 In that day will the Lord, with a razor which is hired beyond the river, with the king of Assyria, shave the head and the hair of the feet, yea, the beard also will it take away.
Na isti dan bo Gospod obril z britvico, ki je najeta, namreč, s tistimi preko reke, z asirskim kraljem, glavo in dlake stopal in ta bo použila tudi brado.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep,
Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo človek redil mlado kravo in dve ovci
22 and it shall come to pass, from the abundance of milk they shall give, [that] he shall eat butter; for every one that remaineth in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey.
in zgodilo se bo zaradi oblice mleka, ki ga bodo dajale, da bo jedel maslo. Kajti maslo in med bo jedel vsakdo, ki je ostal v deželi.
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver pieces, shall become briars and thorns:
Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo vsak kraj, kjer je bilo tisoč trt kakor tisoč malih srebrnih kovancev, ta celó za osat in trnje.
24 with arrows and with the bow shall they come thither, for the whole land shall become briars and thorns.
S puščicami in loki bodo tja prišli možje, ker bo vsa dežela postala osat in trnje.
25 And all mountains that have been dug up with the hoe — thither will they not come, from fear of briars and thorns; and they shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of small cattle.
Po vseh hribih, ki bodo okopani z motiko, nanje ne bo prišel strah pred osatom in trnjem, temveč bo to za odpošiljanje volov in za teptanje manjše živine.
