Isaiah 18
1 Behold, land shadowed [with] wings, That [is] beyond the rivers of Cush,
Gorje deželi, zasenčeni s perutmi, ki je onkraj etiopskih rek,
2 That is sending ambassadors by sea, Even with implements of reed on the face of the waters—Go, swift messengers, To a nation drawn out and peeled, To a people fearful from its beginning and onward, A nation meeting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled.
ki pošilja predstavnike po morju, celo v posodah iz ločja na vodah, rekoč: »Pojdite, vi nagli poslanci, k narodu, razkropljenemu in razgaljenemu, k ljudstvu, strašnemu od njihovega začetka do zdaj; narodu razdeljenemu in pomendranemu, katerega deželo so oplenile reke!
3 All you inhabitants of the world, And you dwellers of earth, At the lifting up of an ensign on hills you look, And at the blowing of a horn you hear.
Vsi vi naseljenci zemeljskega [kroga] in prebivalci na zemlji, glejte, ko dviguje zastavo na gorah in ko zatrobi na šofar, prisluhnite.
4 For thus said YHWH to me: “I rest, and I look on My settled place, As a clear heat on an herb. As a thick cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
Kajti tako mi je rekel Gospod: ›Vzel si bom počitek in preudaril bom v svojem bivališču, kakor sončna vročina na rastlinah in kakor oblak rose v vročini žetve.
5 For before harvest, when the flower is perfect, And the blossom is producing unripe fruit, Then [One] has cut the sprigs with pruning hooks, And the branches He has turned aside, cut down.
Kajti pred žetvijo, ko je brst popoln in kislo grozdje dozoreva v cvetu, bo z obdelovalnimi kavlji odrezal tako poganjke, kakor odvzel in odrezal mladike.
6 They are left together to the ravenous bird of the mountains, And to the beast of the earth, And the ravenous bird has summered on them, And every beast of the earth winters on them.
Skupaj bodo prepuščeni perjadi gora in zemeljskim živalim, in perjad bo na njih preživela čas žetve in vse zemeljske živali bodo prezimovale na njih.
7 At that time a present is brought to YHWH of Hosts, A nation drawn out and peeled. Even of a people fearful from the beginning until now, A nation meting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled, To the place of the Name of YHWH of Hosts—Mount Zion!”
V tistem času bo prineseno darilo Gospodu nad bojevniki, od ljudstva, razkropljenega in razgaljenega in od ljudstva, ki je strašno od svojega začetka do sedaj, naroda, ki je razdeljen in pomendran pod stopalom, katerega deželo so oplenile reke, do kraja imena Gospoda nad bojevniki, gore Sion.‹«
