< Isaiah 47 >

1 "Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
Pridi dol in se usedi v prah, oh devica, hči babilonska. Sedi na tla; ni prestola, oh hči Kaldejcev, kajti ne boš več imenovana nežna in prefinjena.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
Vzemi mlinske kamne in melji moko. Odkrij svoja zagrinjala, razgali nogo, odkrij stegno, prebredi reke.
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man,"
Tvoja nagota bo odkrita, da, tvoja sramota bo vidna. Maščeval se bom in ne bom te srečal kakor človek.
4 says our Redeemer; the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Glede našega odkupitelja, Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime, Sveti Izraelov.
5 "Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
Sedi tiho in pojdi v temo, oh hči Kaldejcev, kajti ne boš več imenovana: ›Gospa kraljestev.‹
6 I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand: you showed them no mercy; on the aged you have very heavily laid your yoke.
Ogorčen sem bil nad svojim ljudstvom, umazal sem svojo dediščino in jih predal v tvojo roko. Nobenega usmiljenja jim nisi pokazala, na starce si zelo težko položila svoj jarem.
7 You said, 'I shall be a mistress forever;' so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the latter end of it.
In ti praviš: ›Jaz bom gospa na veke.‹ Tako, da si teh stvari nisi vzela k srcu niti se nisi spomnila zadnjega konca tega.
8 "Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:'
Zato poslušaj sedaj to, ti, ki si predana užitkom, ki brezskrbno prebivaš, ki v svojem srcu praviš: ›Jaz sem in nihče drug poleg mene; ne bom sedela kakor vdova niti ne bom poznala izgube otrok.‹
9 but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
Toda ti dve stvari bosta prišli k tebi v trenutku, v enem dnevu, izguba otrok in vdovstvo. Nadte bodo prišli v svoji popolnosti zaradi množice tvojih čarodejstev in zaradi silnega obilja tvojih izrekanj urokov.
10 For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other besides me.'
Kajti zaupala si v svojo zlobnost. Rekla si: ›Nihče me ne vidi.‹ Tvoja modrost in tvoje znanje te je sprevrglo in v svojem srcu si rekla: ›Jaz sem in nihče drug poleg mene.‹
11 Therefore disaster will come on you; you won't know when it dawns: and calamity will fall on you; you will not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come on you suddenly and unexpectedly.
Zato bo nadte prišlo zlo; ne boš vedela od kod vstaja in nate bo padla vragolija; ne boš je sposobna odložiti in opustošenje bo nenadoma prišlo nadte, ki ga ne boš poznala.
12 "Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.
Postavi se sedaj s svojimi izrekanji urokov in z množico svojih čarodejstev, s katerimi si se trudila od svoje mladosti, če ti bo to lahko koristilo, če boš lahko prevladala.
13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; those who conjure the heavens, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come on you.
Izmučena si v množici svojih nasvetov. Naj sedaj astrologi, zvezdogledi in mesečni napovedovalci vstanejo in te rešijo pred temi stvarmi, ki bodo prišle nadte.
14 Look, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
Glej, so kakor strnišče, ogenj jih bo sežgal, ne bodo se osvobodili iz oblasti plamena. Tam ne bo žerjavice, da bi se ob njej ogreli niti ognja, da bi pred njim sedeli.
15 Thus shall the things be to you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with you from your youth shall wander everyone to his quarter; there shall be none to save you.
Takšni ti bodo tisti, s katerimi si se trudila, celó tvoji trgovci od tvoje mladosti. Tavali bodo vsakdo k svoji četrti, nihče te ne bo rešil.
