Isaiah 8
1 And Jehovah said to me, Take thee a great tablet, and write thereon with a man's style, concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Poleg tega mi je Gospod rekel: »Vzemi si velik zvitek in vanj zapiši s človeškim pisalom glede Mahér Šalál Haš Baza.«
2 And I took unto me to witness, sure witnesses, Urijah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
K sebi sem vzel zvesti priči, da zabeležita: duhovnika Urijá in Jeberehjájevega sina Zeharjá.
3 And I came near to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son; and Jehovah said unto me, Call his name, Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Odšel sem k prerokinji in spočela je ter rodila sina. Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Njegovo ime kliči Mahér Šalál Haš Baz.
4 For before the lad knoweth to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
Kajti preden bo imel otrok spoznanje, da kliče: ›Moj oče in moja mati, ‹ bodo bogastva Damaska in plen Samarije odvzeti pred asirskim kraljem.«
5 And Jehovah spoke again to me, saying,
Gospod mi je prav tako ponovno spregovoril, rekoč:
6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, and rejoiceth in Rezin and in the son of Remaliah,
»Ker kakor to ljudstvo odklanja síloaške vode, ki mirno tečejo in se veselijo v Recínu in Remaljájevemu sinu,
7 therefore behold, the Lord will bring up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall mount up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
zdaj torej, glej, Gospod prinaša nadnje vode iz reke, močne in številne, celó asirskega kralja in vso njegovo slavo in prestopil bo vse njegove kanale in prestopil vse njegove bregove
8 and he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow it and go further, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!
in šel bo skozi Juda, preplavil bo in šel preko, segel bo celó do vratu in razprostirajoč svoje peruti bo napolnil širino tvoje dežele, oh Emanuel.«
9 Rage, ye peoples, and be broken in pieces! And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth: Gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces!
Povežite se med seboj, oh ve ljudstva in razbiti boste na koščke in pazljivo prisluhnite, vsi vi iz daljnih dežel, opašite se in zlomljeni boste na koščke, opašite se in zlomljeni boste na koščke.
10 Settle a plan, and it shall come to nought; speak a word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
Skupaj se posvetujte in to se bo izjalovilo, govorite besedo, pa ta ne bo obstala, kajti Bog je z nami.
11 For Jehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and he instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
Kajti Gospod mi je tako govoril z močno roko in me učil, da naj ne hodim po poti tega ljudstva, rekoč:
12 Ye shall not say, Conspiracy, of everything of which this people saith, Conspiracy; and fear ye not their fear, and be not in dread.
»Ne reci: ›Zarota, ‹ vsem tistim, ki jim bo to ljudstvo reklo: ›Zarota, ‹ niti se ne bojte njihovega strahu niti ne bodi prestrašeni.
13 Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Posvečujte Gospoda nad bojevniki samega in naj bo on vaš strah in naj bo on vaša groza.
14 And he will be for a sanctuary; and for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
On vam bo svetišče, toda za kamen spotike in za skalo pohujšanja obema Izraelovima hišama, za past in za zanko prebivalcem Jeruzalema.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Številni izmed njih se bodo spotaknili, padli, zlomljeni bodo, ujeti v zanko in zajeti.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
Poveži pričevanje, zapečati postavo med mojimi učenci.
17 And I will wait for Jehovah, who hideth his face from the house of Jacob; and I will look for him.
Čakal bom na Gospoda, ki svoj obraz skriva pred Jakobovo hišo in iskal ga bom.
18 Behold, I and the children that Jehovah hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel, from Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.
Glejte, jaz in otroci, ki mi jih je dal Gospod, smo za znamenja in za čudeže v Izraelu od Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki prebiva na gori Sion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto the necromancers and unto the soothsayers, who chirp and who mutter, [say, ] Shall not a people seek unto their God? [Will they go] for the living unto the dead?
Ko ti bodo rekli: »Obrni se k tem, ki imajo osebne duhove in k čarovnikom, ki čivkajo in ki mrmrajo. Mar naj ne bi ljudstvo iskalo svojega Boga? Za žive k mrtvim?«
20 To the law and the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, for them there is no daybreak.
K postavi in k pričevanju. Če ne govorijo glede na to besedo, je to zato, ker v njih ni svetlobe.
21 And they shall pass through it, hard pressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass when they are hungry, they will fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and will gaze upward:
Šli bodo skozi to, silno ogorčeni in lačni. In zgodilo se bo, da ko bodo lačni, da se bodo v jezi razburili in preklinjali svojega kralja, svojega Boga in gledali navzgor.
22 and they will look to the earth; and behold, trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they shall be driven into thick darkness.
Pogledali bodo na zemljo in glej stiska in tema, temačnost tesnobe in gnani bodo v temo.
