< Isaiah 3 >

1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water;
Kajti glej, Gospod, Gospod nad bojevniki, jemlje proč od Jeruzalema in od Juda, podporo in palico, celotno podporo kruha in celotno podporo vode,
2 The mighty man, and the man of war; the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder;
mogočnega človeka in bojevnika, sodnika in preroka, razsodnega in starca,
3 The captain of fifty, and the man of rank, and the counsellor, and the cunning charmer, and the skilful enchanter.
petdesetnika, častitljivega človeka, svetovalca, spretnega rokodelca in zgovornega govornika.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
Otroke jim bom dal za prince in otročiči bodo vladali nad njimi.
5 And the people shall oppress one another, every man his fellow, and every man his neighbour; the child shall behave insolently against the aged, and the base against the honourable,
Ljudstvo bo zatirano, eden od drugega in vsakdo od svojega soseda; otrok se bo ponosno vedel zoper starca in nizek zoper častitljivega.
6 For a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father: 'Thou hast a mantle, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.'
Ko bo človek zgrabil svojega brata iz hiše svojega očeta, rekoč: »Oblačilo imaš, bodi naš vladar in naj bo ta razvalina pod tvojo roko, «
7 In that day shall he swear, saying: 'I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor a mantle; ye shall not make me ruler of a people.'
na tisti dan bo ta prisegel, rekoč: »Ne bom ranocelnik, kajti v moji hiši ni niti kruha niti obleke. Ne postavljajte me za vladarja ljudstvu.«
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of His glory.
Kajti Jeruzalem je razrušen in Juda je padel, ker so njihov jezik in njihova početja zoper Gospoda, da izzivajo oči njegove slave.
9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have wrought evil unto themselves.
Prikaz njihovega obličja pričuje zoper njih, ne skrivajo svojega greha, razglašajo ga kakor Sódoma. Gorje njihovi duši! Kajti nagradili so se z zlom.
10 Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Recite pravičnemu, da bo dobro z njim; kajti jedli bodo sad svojih dejanj.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the work of his hands shall be done to him.
Gorje zlobnemu! Z njim bo slabo, kajti dana mu bo nagrada njegovih rok.
12 As for My people, a babe is their master, and women rule over them. O My people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Kar se tiče mojega ljudstva, so njihovi zatiralci otroci, vladajo pa jim ženske. Oh moje ljudstvo, tisti, ki te vodijo, ti povzročajo, da se motiš in uničujejo pot tvojih steza.
13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples.
Gospod vstaja, da bi se pravdal in stoji, da bi sodil ljudstvu.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and the princes thereof: 'It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses;
Gospod bo stopil na sodbo s starci svojega ljudstva in njegovimi princi, kajti požrli ste vinograd; plen ubogih je v vaših hišah.
15 What mean ye that ye crush My people, and grind the face of the poor?' saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts.
›Kaj nameravate, da lomite moje ljudstvo na koščke in meljete obraze revnih?‹ govori Gospod Bog nad vojskami.
16 Moreover the LORD said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet;
Poleg tega Gospod govori: ›Ker so hčere sionske ošabne in hodijo z vratovi, iztegnjenimi naprej in poltenimi očmi, hodijo in drobijo medtem ko gredo in zvončkljajo s svojimi stopali,
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts.
zato bo Gospod s krasto udaril tême sionskih hčera in Gospod bo odkril njihove skrite dele.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the fillets, and the crescents;
Na tisti dan bo Gospod odvzel pogumnost njihovih zvončkljajočih ornamentov okoli njihovih stopal in njihove čepice in njihove okrogle rute, podobne luni,
19 the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils;
verižice, zapestnice, šale,
20 the headtires, and the armlets, and the sashes, and the corselets, and the amulets;
klobučke, ornamente nog, naglavne trakove, ogrlice, uhane,
21 the rings, and the nose-jewels;
prstane, nosne dragocenosti,
22 the aprons, and the mantelets, and the cloaks, and the girdles;
zamenljive ogrinjalne kostime, plašče, plete, torbice,
23 and the gauze robes, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the mantles.
zrcala, tanko laneno platno, kapuce in zagrinjala.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle rags; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty.
Zgodilo se bo, da bo namesto prijetnega vonja tam zaudarjanje, namesto pasu vrv, namesto pričeske plešavost, namesto životca opasovanje vrečevine in opeklina namesto lepote.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
Tvoji možje bodo padli pod mečem in tvoji mogočni v vojni.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and utterly bereft she shall sit upon the ground.
Njena velika vrata bodo žalovala in tulila in ona bo zapuščena sedela na tleh.
