Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. Like windstorms in the south for passing through, It has come from the wilderness, From a fearful land.
Breme puščave morja. Kakor gredo skozi vrtinčasti vetrovi na jugu, tako ta prihaja iz puščave, iz strašne dežele.
2 A hard vision has been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, I have caused all its sighing to cease.
Mučno videnje mi je naznanjeno, zahrbtnež postopa zahrbtno in plenilec pleni. Pojdi gor, oh Elám. Oblegaj, oh Medija. Vsemu njihovemu vzdihovanju sem storil, da preneha.
3 Therefore my loins have been filled [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
Zato so moja ledja napolnjena z bolečino. Polastile so se me ostre bolečine kakor ostre bolečine ženske, ki je v porodnih mukah. Sklonjen sem bil ob poslušanju tega, ob gledanju tega sem bil zaprepaden.
4 My heart has wandered, trembling has terrified me, He has made the twilight of my desire a fear to me,
Moje srce trepeta, grozljivost me je preplašila. Noč mojega užitka mi je obrnil v strah.
5 Arrange the table, watch in the watchtower, Eat, drink, rise, you heads, anoint the shield,
Pripravite mizo, stražite v stražnem stolpu, jejte, pijte. Vstanite, vi princi in pomazilite ščit.
6 For thus said the Lord to me: “Go, station the watchman, Let him declare that which he sees.”
Kajti tako mi je rekel Gospod: »Pojdi, postavi stražarja, naj razglasi, kar vidi.«
7 And he has seen a chariot—a couple of horsemen, The rider of a donkey, the rider of a camel, And he has given attention—He has increased attention!
Ta je zagledal bojni voz z nekaj konjeniki, voz z osli in voz s kamelami in marljivo prisluhnil z mnogo pozornosti
8 And he cries, “A lion, my lord! I am continually standing on a watchtower by day, And I am stationed on my ward whole nights.
ter zavpil: »Lev. ›Moj Gospod, nenehno stojim na stražnem stolpu podnevi in na svojo stražo sem postavljen cele noči
9 And behold, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.” And he answers and says: “Fallen, fallen has Babylon, And He has broken all the carved images of her gods to the earth.
in glej, sem prihaja bojni voz z možmi, z nekaj konjeniki.‹« Odgovoril je in rekel: »Babilon je padel, padel je in vse rezane podobe njegovih bogov je zdrobil na tla.«
10 O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!”
Oh moja mlatev in žito mojih tal. To, kar sem slišal od Gospoda nad bojevniki, Izraelovega Boga, sem vam naznanil.
11 The burden of Dumah. [One] is calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
Breme o Dumi. Kliče me iz Seírja: »Stražar, kaj je glede noči? Stražar, kaj je glede noči?«
12 The watchman has said, “Morning has come, and also night, If you inquire, inquire, return, come.”
Stražar je rekel: »Prihaja jutro in tudi noč. Če hočete poizvedeti, poizvejte. Vrnite se, pridite.«
13 The burden on Arabia. You lodge in a forest in Arabia, O caravans of Dedanim.
Breme nad Arabijo. V arabskem gozdu boste prenočevale, oh ve, potujoče skupine Dedánovcev.
14 Inhabitants of the land of Tema Have brought water to meet the thirsty, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
Prebivalci dežele Temá so prinesli vodo tistemu, ki je bil žejen. Tistega, ki je bežal, so prestregli s svojim kruhom.
15 For they fled from the face of destructions, From the face of an outstretched sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
Kajti pobegnili so pred meči, pred izvlečenim mečem, pred napetim lokom in pred bolečino vojne.
16 For thus said the Lord to me: “Within a year, as years of a hired worker, All the glory of Kedar has been consumed.
Kajti tako mi je rekel Gospod: »Znotraj leta, glede na najemnikova leta in vsa slava Kedárja bo padla.
17 And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar, are few, For YHWH, God of Israel, has spoken!”
Preostanek izmed števila lokostrelcev, močni možje izmed kedárskih otrok, bodo zmanjšani, « kajti Gospod, Izraelov Bog, je to govoril.
