Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are smitten down with wine!
Gorje kroni ponosa, efrájimskim pijancem, katerih veličastna lepota je odcvetena roža, ki je na čelu obilnih dolin tistih, ki so premagani z vinom.
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, as a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction, as a storm of mighty waters overflowing, that casteth down to the earth with violence.
Glej, Gospod ima mogočnega in močnega, ki bo kakor neurje s točo in uničujoč vihar, kakor poplava mogočnih vodá, ki preplavljajo, z roko vrgel dol k zemlji.
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot;
Krona ponosa, efrájimski pijanci, bodo pomendrani pod stopali.
4 And the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer, which when one looketh upon it, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
Veličastna lepota, ki je na čelu obilne doline, bo veneča roža in kakor zgodnji sad pred poletjem; ko ga tisti, ki pogleda nanj, vidi, ga pojé, medtem ko je še v njegovi roki.
5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of His people;
Na tisti dan bo Gospod nad bojevniki za krono slave in za diadem lepote preostanku svojega ljudstva
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate.
in za duha sodbe tistemu, ki sedi na sodbi in za moč tistim, ki bitko odvračajo k velikim vratom.
7 But these also reel through wine, and stagger through strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel through strong drink, they are confused because of wine, they stagger because of strong drink; they reel in vision, they totter in judgment.
Vendar so tudi oni zašli zaradi vina in zaradi močne pijače so omahnili iz poti; duhovnik in prerok sta zašla zaradi močne pijače, pogoltnjena sta od vina, zaradi močne pijače sta omahnila iz poti; motita se v videnju, spotikata se v sodbi.
8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit, and no place is clean.
Kajti vse mize so polne izbljuvkov in umazanosti, tako da tam ni čistega prostora.
9 Whom shall one teach knowledge? And whom shall one make to understand the message? Them that are weaned from the milk, them that are drawn from the breasts?
Koga bo učil spoznanja? In koga bo pripravil, da razume nauk? Tiste, ki so odstavljeni od mleka in odtegnjeni od prsi.
10 For it is precept by precept, precept by precept, line by line, line by line; here a little, there a little.
Kajti predpis mora biti na predpis, predpis na predpis; ukaz na ukaz, ukaz na ukaz; malo tukaj in malo tam,
11 For with stammering lips and with a strange tongue shall it be spoken to this people;
kajti z jecljajočimi ustnicami in drugim jezikom bo govoril temu ljudstvu.
12 To whom it was said: 'This is the rest, give ye rest to the weary; and this is the refreshing'; yet they would not hear.
Katerim je rekel: »To je počitek, s katerim lahko izmučenemu storite, da počiva in to je osvežitev.« Vendar niso hoteli poslušati.
13 And so the word of the LORD is unto them precept by precept, precept by precept, line by line, line by line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Toda Gospodova beseda jim je bila predpis na predpis, predpis na predpis; ukaz na ukaz, ukaz na ukaz; malo tukaj in malo tam; da lahko gredo, padejo vznak, se zlomijo, se ulovijo in ujamejo.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scoffers, the ballad-mongers of this people which is in Jerusalem:
Zato poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi posmehljivci, ki vladate temu ljudstvu, ki je v Jeruzalemu.
15 Because ye have said: 'We have made a covenant with death, and with the nether-world are we at agreement; when the scouring scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and in falsehood have we hid ourselves'; (Sheol h7585)
Ker ste rekli: »Sklenili smo zavezo s smrtjo in s peklom smo v dogovoru. Ko bo šel skozi poplavljajoč bič, ta ne bo prišel k nam, kajti laži smo naredili za svoje zatočišče in pod neresnico smo se skrili.« (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a costly corner-stone of sure foundation; he that believeth shall not make haste.
Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: »Glej, na Sionu polagam za temelj kamen, preizkušen kamen, dragocen vogalni kamen, postavljen temelj. Kdor veruje, ne bo vznemirjeno hitel.
17 And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
Tudi sodbo bom položil k merilu in pravičnost h grezilu in toča bo pomedla zatočišče laži in vode bodo preplavile skrivališče.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled and your agreement with the nether-world shall not stand; when the scouring scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it, (Sheol h7585)
Vaša zaveza s smrtjo bo razveljavljena in vaš dogovor s peklom ne bo obstal; ko bo skozi šel preplavljajoč bič, potem boste z njim pomendrani. (Sheol h7585)
19 As often as it passeth through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night; and it shall be sheer terror to understand the message.
Od časa, ko gre ta naprej, vas bo zgrabil, kajti jutro za jutrom bo ta prehajal, podnevi in ponoči. To bo samo draženje, da razume poročilo.
20 For the bed is too short for a man to stretch himself; and the covering too narrow when he gathereth himself up.
Kajti postelja je krajša, kakor se človek lahko iztegne na njej in pokrivalo ožje, kakor se lahko zavije vanj.
21 For the LORD will rise up as in mount Perazim, He will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that He may do His work, strange is His work, and bring to pass His act, strange is His act.
Kajti Gospod se bo dvignil kakor na gori Peracím, ogorčen bo kakor v dolini Gibeón, da lahko opravi svoje delo, svoje čudno delo in privede, da se njegovo dejanje zgodi, njegovo čudno dejanje.
22 Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bands be made strong; for an extermination wholly determined have I heard from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, upon the whole land.
Zdaj torej ne bodite zasmehovalci, da ne bi vaše vezi postale močne, kajti od Gospoda Boga nad bojevniki sem slišal uničenje, celo določeno nad celotno zemljo.
23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my speech.
Pazljivo prisluhnite in poslušajte moj glas, prisluhnite in poslušajte moj govor.
24 Is the plowman never done with plowing to sow, with the opening and harrowing of his ground?
Mar orač orje ves dan, da bi sejal? Ali odpira in brana svojo zemljo?
25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the black cummin, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the appointed place and the spelt in the border thereof?
Ko je njeno površino izravnal, mar ne meče naokoli pire, raztrosi kumino in meče noter glavno pšenico in določen ječmen in piriko na njihov prostor?
26 For He doth instruct him aright; his God doth teach him.
Kajti njegov Bog ga navaja k preudarnosti in ga uči.
27 For the black cummin is not threshed with a threshing-sledge, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the black cummin is beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
Kajti pira ni mlatena z mlatilno pripravo niti kolo voza obračano nad kumino, temveč je pira otepana s palico in kumina s šibo.
28 Is bread corn crushed? Nay, he will not ever be threshing it; and though the roller of his wagon and its sharp edges move noisily, he doth not crush it.
Krušno žito je zmleto, ker ga nikoli ne bo mlatil niti lomil s kolesom svojega voza niti ga poškodoval s konjeniki.
29 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts: Wonderful is His counsel, and great His wisdom.
Tudi to prihaja od Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki je čudovit v nasvetu in odličen v delu.
