Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus: "Look, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.
Breme Damaska: »Glej, Damask je odvzet od tega, da je mesto in bo kup razvalin.
2 Her cities will be abandoned forever. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Mesta Aroêrja so zapuščena. Ta bodo za trope, ki bodo legli in nihče jih ne bo strašil.
3 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel," says the LORD of hosts.
Trdnjava bo prav tako prenehala od Efrájima in kraljestvo od Damaska in preostanek iz Sirije. Oni bodo kakor slava Izraelovih otrok, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
4 "It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
»Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da se bo Jakobova slava stanjšala in mastnost njegovega mesa bo shujšala.
5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the Valley of Rephaim.
To bo kakor ko žanjec zbira žito in s svojim laktom žanje klasje, in to bo kakor tisti, ki zbira klasje v dolini Rafájim.
6 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree," says the LORD, the God of Israel.
Vendar bodo v njem ostali paberkovalni grozdi, kakor tresenje oljke, dve ali tri jagode na vrhu najvišje veje, štiri ali pet na njenih zunanjih rodovitnih mladikah, « govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog.
7 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
Na tisti dan bo človek gledal k svojemu Stvarniku in njegove oči bodo imele spoštovanje do Svetega Izraelovega.
8 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the incense altars.
Ne bo gledal k oltarjem, delu svojih rok niti ne bo spoštoval tega, kar so naredili njegovi prsti ali ašer ali podob.
9 In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places of the Hivites and the Amorites, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.
Na tisti dan bodo njegova utrjena mesta kakor zapuščena veja in najvišja mladika, ki so jo pustili zaradi Izraelovih otrok in tam bo opustošenje.
10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
Ker si pozabil Boga rešitve svoje duše in se nisi spominjal skale svoje moči, zato boš sadil prijetne rastline in jih cepil s tujimi cepljenci.
11 In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Podnevi boš svoji rastlini naredil, da zraste in zjutraj boš svojemu semenu naredil, da cveti, toda žetev bo kup na dan žalosti in obupne bridkosti.
12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters.
Gorje množici številnih ljudi, ki zganjajo hrup, podoben hrupu morij in vrvežu narodov, ki delajo vrvež, podoben vrvežu mogočnih vodá!
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters: but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
Narodi bodo hiteli kakor besnenje mnogih vodá, toda Bog jih bo ukoril in pobegnili bodo daleč proč in pregnani bodo kakor pleve gora pred vetrom in kakor kotaleča se stvar pred vrtinčastim vetrom.
14 At evening, look, terror. Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
Glej, ob večernem času stiska in pred jutrom ga ni. To je delež tistih, ki nas plenijo in žreb tistih, ki nas ropajo.
