Isaiah 9
1 For [there will be] no gloom on her who [is] distressed as at the former time. The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter has honored the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Kljub temu temačnost ne bo takšna, kot je bila v njenem draženju, ko je najprej blago stiskal deželo Zábulon in deželo Neftáli in jo je potem bolj boleče stiskal ob poti morja, onkraj Jordana, v poganski Galileji.
2 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light has shone on them.
Ljudstvo, ki je hodilo v temi, je zagledalo veliko svetlobo. Na tiste, ki prebivajo v deželi smrtne sence, je posvetila svetloba.
3 You have multiplied the nation, You have made its joy great, They have rejoiced before You as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
Pomnožil si narod in nisi povečal radosti. Radostijo se pred teboj, v skladu z radostjo ob žetvi in kakor se ljudje veselijo, ko delijo plen.
4 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, You have broken as [in] the day of Midian.
Kajti zlomil si jarem njegovega bremena in palico njegovega ramena, palico njegovega zatiralca, kakor na dan Midjána.
5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it has been for burning—fuel of fire.
Kajti vsaka bitka bojevnika je z zmedenim hrupom in oblekami, povaljanimi v krvi, toda ta bo z gorenjem in gorivom ognju.
6 For a Child has been born to us, A Son has been given to us, And the dominion is on His shoulder, And He calls His Name Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
Kajti nam je rojen otrok, nam je dan sin in oblast bo na njegovem ramenu in njegovo ime bo imenovano Čudoviti, Svetovalec, Mogočni Bog, Večni Oče, Princ miru.
7 Of the increase of [His] dominion, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on His kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, From now on, even for all time, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts does this.
Povečanju njegovega vladarstva in miru ne bo konca nad Davidovem prestolom in nad njegovim kraljestvom, da to odredi in da to osnuje s sodbo in s pravico od tega časa naprej, celo na veke. Gorečnost Gospoda nad bojevniki bo to izvršila.
8 The Lord has sent a word into Jacob, And it has fallen in Israel.
Gospod je poslal besedo Jakobu in jo vžgal nad Izraelom.
9 And the people have known—all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
Vse ljudstvo bo vedelo, celó Efrájim in prebivalec Samarije, ki v ponosu in arogantnosti srca govorijo:
10 “Bricks have fallen, and we build hewn work, Sycamores have been cut down, and we renew cedars.”
»Opeke so padle, toda mi bomo gradili s klesanimi kamni. Egiptovske smokve so posekane, toda mi jih bomo zamenjali s cedrami.«
11 And YHWH sets the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And he joins his enemies together,
Zato bo Gospod zoper njega postavil Recínove nasprotnike in skupaj združil njegove sovražnike,
12 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
spredaj Sirce in zadaj Filistejce in Izrael bodo požrli z odprtimi usti. Zaradi vsega tega njegova jeza ni odvrnjena, temveč je njegova roka še vedno iztegnjena.
13 And the people has not turned back to Him who is striking it, And they have not sought YHWH of Hosts.
Kajti ljudstvo se ne obrača k tistemu, ki jih udarja niti ne iščejo Gospoda nad bojevniki.
14 And YHWH cuts off head and tail from Israel, Branch and reed—the same day.
Zato bo Gospod v enem dnevu iz Izraela iztrebil glavo in rep, palmovo vejo in ločje.
15 Elderly and accepted of faces—he [is] the head, And prophet teaching falsehood—he [is] the tail.
Starec in častitljiv, ta je glava, prerok pa, ki uči laži, ta je rep.
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogized ones are consumed.
Kajti voditelji tega ljudstva jim povzročajo, da se motijo in tisti, ki so vodeni od njih, so uničeni.
17 Therefore, the Lord does not rejoice over its young men, And He does not pity its orphans and its widows, For everyone [is] profane, and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Zato Gospod ne bo imel nobene radosti v njihovih mladeničih niti ne bo imel usmiljenja do njihovih sirot in vdov, kajti vsakdo je hinavec in hudodelec in vsaka usta govorijo neumnost. Zaradi vsega tega njegova jeza ni odvrnjena, temveč je njegova roka še vedno iztegnjena.
18 For wickedness has burned as a fire, It devours brier and thorn, And it kindles in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
Kajti zlobnost gori kakor ogenj. Ta bo požrl osat in trnje in vnel gozdne goščave in vzdignili se bodo kakor vzdigovanje dima.
19 In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts The land has been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man has no pity on his brother,
Preko besa Gospoda nad bojevniki je dežela zatemnjena in ljudstvo bo kakor gorivo ognju. Noben človek ne bo prizanesel svojemu bratu.
20 And cuts down on the right, and has been hungry, And he devours on the left, And they have not been satisfied, They each devour the flesh of his own arm.
Hlastal bo na desnici in bo lačen, jedel bo na levici, pa ne bodo nasičeni. Vsak človek bo jedel meso svojega lastnega lakta:
21 Manasseh—Ephraim, and Ephraim—Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this His anger has not turned back. And His hand is still stretched out!
Manáse Efrájima in Efrájim Manáseja in skupaj bosta zoper Juda. Zaradi vsega tega njegova jeza ni odvrnjena, temveč je njegova roka še vedno iztegnjena.
