< Isaiah 19 >
1 The burden of Egypt: "Look, YHWH rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
Breme Egipta. Glej, Gospod jaha na naglem oblaku in prišel bo v Egipt in egiptovski maliki bodo drhteli ob njegovi prisotnosti in srce Egipta se bo stopilo v njegovi sredi.
2 I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
»Egipčane bom naravnal zoper Egipčane in bojevali se bodo vsak zoper svojega brata in vsak zoper svojega soseda, mesto zoper mesto in kraljestvo zoper kraljestvo.
3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst. I will destroy its counsel. They will seek the idols, spirits of the dead, mediums, and spiritists.
Egiptovski duh bo odpovedal v njihovi sredi in uničil bom njihov nasvet in iskali bodo k malikom in h krotilcem in k tistim, ki imajo osebne duhove in k čarovnikom.
4 I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them," says YHWH of hosts.
Egipčane bom predal v roko krutega gospodarja in silovit kralj bo vladal nad njimi, « govori Gospod, Gospod nad bojevniki.
5 The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.
Vode iz morja se bodo posušile in reke bodo zapuščene in posušene.
6 The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.
Reke bodo obrnili daleč proč in obrambni jarki bodo izpraznjeni ter posušeni. Trstje in rogoz bo ovenelo.
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
Papirno trstje pri potokih, pri ustju potokov in vsaka posejana stvar ob potokih bo ovenela, bo odgnana in ne bo je več.
8 The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.
Tudi ribiči bodo žalovali in vsi tisti, ki mečejo trnek v potoke, bodo žalovali in tisti, ki razširjajo mreže nad vodami, bodo pešali.
9 Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.
Poleg tega bodo zbegani tisti, ki delajo s tankim lanom in tisti, ki tkejo mreže.
10 The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.
Zlomljeni bodo v svojih namenih vsi, ki delajo zapornice in ribnike za ribe.
11 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, "I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?"
Zagotovo so princi Coana bedaki, nasvet modrih faraonovih svetovalcev je postal brutalen. Kako pravite faraonu: »Jaz sem sin modrega, sin starodavnih kraljev?«
12 Where then are your sages? And let them tell you now; and let them know what YHWH of hosts has purposed concerning Egypt.
Kje so tisti? Kje so tvoji modri možje? In naj ti sedaj povedo in naj vedo kaj je Gospod nad bojevniki namenil nad Egiptom.
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
Princi Coana so postali bedaki, princi Nofa so zavedeni, zapeljali so tudi Egipt, celó tiste, ki so opora njegovih rodov.
14 YHWH has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
Gospod je v njihovo sredo pomešal sprevrženega duha in Egiptu so storili, da se moti v vsakem svojem delu, kakor se pijan mož opoteka v svojem bruhanju.
15 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
Niti tam ne bo nobenega dela za Egipt, ki bi ga glava ali rep, palmova veja ali ločje lahko opravili.
16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of YHWH of hosts, which he shakes over them.
Na tisti dan bo Egipt podoben ženski in bo prestrašen in bal se bo zaradi tresenja roke Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki jo trese nad njim.
17 The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of YHWH of hosts, which he determines against it.
Judova dežela bo strahota Egiptu. Vsak, kdor jo omenja, bo v sebi prestrašen zaradi namena Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki ga je določil zoper njega.
18 In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear loyalty to YHWH of hosts. One will be called the City of the Sun.
Na tisti dan bo pet mest v egiptovski deželi govorilo kánaanski jezik in prisegalo pri Gospodu nad bojevniki; eno bo imenovano Mesto uničenja.
19 In that day, there will be an altar to YHWH in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to YHWH at its border.
Na tisti dan bo tam oltar Gospodu v sredi egiptovske dežele in steber Gospodu pri njegovi meji.
20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to YHWH of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to YHWH because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
Ta bo za znamenje in za pričevanje Gospodu nad bojevniki v egiptovski deželi, kajti klicali bodo h Gospodu zaradi zatiralcev in poslal jim bo rešitelja in mogočnega in ta jih bo osvobodil.
21 YHWH will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know YHWH in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will make vows to YHWH, and will perform them.
Gospod bo znan Egiptu in Egipčani bodo na tisti dan poznali Gospoda in opravljali klavno daritev in darovanje. Da, prisegali bodo prisego h Gospodu in jo izvedli.
22 YHWH will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will return to YHWH, and he will listen to their pleas, and will heal them.
Gospod bo udaril Egipt. Udaril ga bo in ozdravil in vrnili se bodo celó h Gospodu in izprošen bo od njih in jih bo ozdravil.
23 In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
Na tisti dan bo tam glavna cesta iz Egipta v Asirijo in Asirec bo prišel v Egipt in Egipčan v Asirijo in Egipčani bodo služili z Asirci.
24 In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
Na tisti dan bo Izrael tretji z Egiptom in Asirijo, celó blagoslov v sredi dežele,
25 because YHWH of hosts has blessed them, saying, "Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance."
ki ga bo Gospod nad bojevniki blagoslovil, rekoč: »Blagoslovljen bodi Egipt, moje ljudstvo in Asirija, delo mojih rok in Izrael, moja dediščina.«
