Isaiah 8
1 Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take you a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.
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 faithful witnesses to record, Uriah 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 went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
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 child shall have knowledge 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 The LORD spoke also unto me again, saying,
Gospod mi je prav tako ponovno spregovoril, rekoč:
6 Forasmuch as this people refuses the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
»Ker kakor to ljudstvo odklanja síloaške vode, ki mirno tečejo in se veselijo v Recínu in Remaljájevemu sinu,
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come 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 and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of your 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 Associate yourselves, O all of you people, and all of you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far countries: gird yourselves, and all of you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and all of you shall 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 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nothing; speak the 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 the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not 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 Say all of you not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear all of you their fear, nor be afraid.
»Ne reci: ›Zarota, ‹ vsem tistim, ki jim bo to ljudstvo reklo: ›Zarota, ‹ niti se ne bojte njihovega strahu niti ne bodi prestrašeni.
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; 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 shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a animal trap 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 be snared, and be 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 upon the LORD, that hides 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 whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells 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 them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mumble: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to 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 to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
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, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look 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 shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
Pogledali bodo na zemljo in glej stiska in tema, temačnost tesnobe in gnani bodo v temo.
