Isaiah 30
1 Tragedy is coming to my defiant children, declares the Lord. You make plans that don't come from me; you make alliances against my wishes, adding sin to sin.
»Gorje upornim otrokom, « govori Gospod, »ki jemljejo nasvet, toda ne od mene in ki se pokrivajo s pokrivalom, toda ne od mojega duha, da lahko grehu dodajo greh,
2 You go to Egypt without asking me, looking to Pharaoh for protection, hoping to find safety hiding behind Egypt.
ki hodijo, da bi šli dol v Egipt, pa niso vprašali pri mojih ustih, da se ojačajo v faraonovi moči in da zaupajo v egiptovsko senco!
3 But the protection of Pharaoh will be an embarrassment to you; hiding behind Egypt will only bring you humiliation.
Zato bo faraonova moč vaša sramota in zaupanje v egiptovsko senco vaša zmeda.
4 Even though he has officials at Zoan and his messengers reach Hanes,
Kajti njegovi princi so bili pri Coanu in njegovi predstavniki so prišli do Hanésa.
5 the Egyptians will offend everyone because they are useless—they're no help and good for nothing, except for causing shame and bringing disgrace.
Vsi so bili osramočeni od ljudstva, ki jim ni moglo koristiti niti jim biti v pomoč niti dobiček, temveč sramota in tudi graja.
6 A message about the animals of the Negev. The messengers travel through a harsh and hostile land where lions and lionesses live, vipers and vicious snakes too. Their donkeys are burdened down with valuable gifts, their camels are loaded with treasure, to give to a worthless people that can't help.
Breme živali juga. V deželo stiske in tesnobe, od koder je prišel mlad in star lev, gad in strupena leteča kača, bodo svoja bogastva odnesli na ramenih mladih oslov in svoje zaklade na kameljih grbah k ljudstvu, ki jim ne bo koristilo.
7 Egypt's support is an empty breath of wind. That's why I call her Pride Sitting Down.
Kajti Egipčani bodo pomagali v prazno in zaman, zato sem glede tega klical: ›Njihova moč mora prenehati.‹
8 Now go and write all this down on a tablet and on a scroll so that it will last forever and ever.
Torej pojdite, zapišite to pred njimi na tablo in zabeležite v knjigo, da bo lahko za čas, ki pride na veke vekov,
9 For they are a rebellious people, deceitful children, who refuse to listen to the Lord's instructions.
da je to uporno ljudstvo, lažnivi otroci, otroci, ki nočejo poslušati Gospodove postave,
10 They tell people who see visions, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Don't give us prophecies about doing right—just tell us pleasant things and give us fake prophecies.
ki vidcem pravijo: ›Ne vidite‹ in prerokom: ›Ne prerokujte nam pravilnih stvari, govorite nam laskave stvari, prerokujte prevare.
11 Stop telling us straight; go a different direction! We don't want to hear any more about the Holy One of Israel.”
Spravite se iz poti, odvrnite se iz steze, Svetemu Izraelovemu naredite, da odide izpred nas.‹«
12 So this is how the Holy One of Israel replies, Since you have rejected this message, and since you trust in oppression and believe in dishonesty,
Zatorej tako govori Sveti Izraelov: »Ker prezirate to besedo in zaupate v zatiranje in perverznost in ostajate na njej,
13 your punishment will suddenly fall on you, like a high wall that bulges out and collapses in an instant.
zato vam bo ta krivičnost kakor vrzel, pripravljena, da pade, naraščajoča iz visokega obzidja, katerega zlom pride nenadoma, v trenutku.
14 You will be smashed like a clay pot, broken into such tiny pieces that there won't be a big enough piece to pick up coals from a hearth or a little bit of water from a well.
Zlomil ga bo kakor lomljenje lončarjeve posode, ki je zdrobljena na koščke. Ne bo prizanesel, tako da tam, v lomljenju le-tega, ne bo najti črepinje, da bi vzel ogenj iz ognjišča ali da bi s tem zajel vodo iz vrča.
15 This is what the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, said, If you repent and patiently trust in me, you would be saved; you would be strong if you had such calm confidence. But you refused to do it.
Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog, Sveti Izraelov: »›V vračanju in počivanju boste rešeni; v spokojnosti in zaupanju bo vaša moč, ‹ pa niste hoteli.
16 You replied, “No! We'll escape on horseback! We'll get away on fast horses!” But the fast ones will be the ones chasing you!
Temveč ste rekli: ›Ne, kajti bežali bomo na konjih; ‹ zatorej boste bežali. ›Jahali bomo na naglih; ‹ zato bodo tisti, ki vas preganjajo, nagli.
17 Just one of them will chase after a thousand of you. Just five of them will make you all run away. All that will be left of you will look like a flag fluttering on the top of a mountain, a banner waving on a hill.
Tisoč jih bo bežalo ob graji enega; ob graji petih boste bežali, dokler ne boste ostali kakor drog na vrhu gore in kakor zastava na hribu.«
18 So the Lord waits, wanting to be kind to you, ready to act to show you mercy, for the Lord is a God who does what is right. All who wait for him are blessed.
Zato bo Gospod čakal, da vam bo lahko milostljiv in zato bo povzdignjen, da bo lahko imel usmiljenje do vas, kajti Gospod je Bog sodbe. Blagoslovljeni so vsi tisti, ki čakajo nanj.
19 People of Zion, you who live in Jerusalem, you won't have to weep any more. When you cry for help he will be kind to you. He will answer you immediately he hears you.
Kajti ljudstvo bo prebivalo na Sionu, pri Jeruzalemu. Ne boš več jokal. Zelo ti bo milostljiv ob glasu tvojega klica; ko ga bo zaslišal, ti bo odgovoril.
20 Even though the Lord will give you the bread of hardship to eat and the water of suffering to drink, your teacher will no longer hide himself from you—you will see him with your own eyes.
Čeprav ti Gospod daje kruh nadloge in vodo stiske, vendar tvoji učitelji ne bodo več odstranjeni v kot, temveč bodo tvoje oči videle tvoje učitelje
21 When you walk to the right or to the left, you will hear this command coming from behind you: “This is the way to follow.”
in tvoja ušesa bodo slišala za teboj besedo, rekoč: »To je pot, po njej hodite, « ko se obrnete k desnici in ko se obrnete k levici.
22 You will defile your silver-coated idols coated with silver and your gold-covered images. You will throw them away like a dirty cloth used for periods, and say to them, “out of here!”
Omadeževali boste tudi pokrivalo svojih rezanih podob iz srebra in ornament svojih ulitih podob iz zlata. Vrgel jih boš proč kakor menstrualno krpo; temu boš rekel: »Pojdi ven.«
23 He will send rain when you sow, and the land will produce great harvests. At that time your cattle will feed in rich pastures.
Potem bo dal dež tvojemu semenu, da boš z njim posejal tla in kruh od donosa zemlje in to bo debelo in obilno. Na ta dan se bo tvoja živina pasla na velikih pašnikih.
24 The oxen and donkeys that help cultivate the earth will eat good greens and grain, spread with fork and shovel.
Prav tako bodo voli in mladi osli, ki obdelujejo zemljišče, jedli čisto krmo, ki je bila prevejana z lopato in z vejálnikom.
25 At that time when your enemies are killed and the fortresses fall, streams of water will flow down every mountain and hill.
Tam bodo na vsaki visoki gori in na vsakem visokem hribu reke in potoki vodá, na dan velikega pokola, ko bodo padli stolpi.
26 The moon will shine as bright as the sun, and the sun will shine seven times brighter, like having seven days light in one. This is the way it will be when the Lord bandages the injuries of his people and heals the wounds he caused them.
Poleg tega bo svetloba lune kakor svetloba sonca in svetloba sonca bo sedemkratna, kakor svetloba sedmih dni, na dan, ko Gospod obveže vrzel svojega ljudstva in ozdravi udarec njihove rane.
27 Look how the Lord arrives from far away, burning with anger and accompanied by thick clouds of smoke! What he says shows his anger—it's like a fire that burns everything up.
Glej, ime Gospoda prihaja od daleč, goreč z njegovo jezo in njegovo breme je težko. Njegove ustnice so polne ogorčenja in njegov jezik kakor požirajoč ogenj.
28 His breath rushes out like a flood that comes up to the neck. He shakes the nations in a sieve that destroys them; he puts bridles in the mouths of the different peoples to lead them away.
Njegov dih bo kakor preplavljajoč vodotok segel do sredine vratu, da narode preseje s sitom ničnosti in tam bo brzda v čeljustih ljudstva, ki jim bo povzročala, da se opotekajo.
29 But you will have a song to sing like you do on the night of a holy festival. You will celebrate in happiness like those who play pipes as they go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.
Imeli boste pesem, kakor v noči, ko se praznuje sveta slovesnost; in veselje srca, kakor ko gre nekdo s piščaljo, da pride na Gospodovo goro, k Mogočnemu Izraelovemu.
30 The Lord will shout so everyone hears him he will reveal his great power. He will hit out in his anger and fury, with a fire that burns everything up, and with torrential rain, storm, and hail.
Gospod bo svojemu veličastnemu glasu povzročil, da bo slišan in pokazal bo spuščanje svojega lakta, z ogorčenjem svoje jeze in s plamenom požirajočega ognja, z razprševanjem, neurjem in zrni toče.
31 At the Lord's command the Assyrians will be shattered, knocked down by his scepter.
Kajti preko Gospodovega glasu bo Asirec, ki je udaril s palico, potolčen.
32 Every time the Lord hits them with his rod of punishment it will be accompanied by the music of tambourines and harps as he fights them, swinging into them in battle.
Na vsakem kraju, kjer bo prešla osnovana palica, ki jo bo Gospod položil nanj, bo to z bobniči in harfami, in v bitkah vihtenja se bo boril z njo.
33 The place of burning has been prepared a long time ago, ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, and has plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the Lord, like a flood of burning sulfur, sets it on fire.
Kajti Tofet je odrejen od davnine; da, za kralja je pripravljen; naredil ga je globokega in velikega. Njegova grmada je ogenj in veliko lesa. Gospodov dih ga vname kakor tok žvepla.
