Isaiah 47
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt 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 thy 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 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will accept no man.
Tvoja nagota bo odkrita, da, tvoja sramota bo vidna. Maščeval se bom in ne bom te srečal kakor človek.
4 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 thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called The lady of kingdoms.
Sedi tiho in pojdi v temo, oh hči Kaldejcev, kajti ne boš več imenovana: ›Gospa kraljestev.‹
6 I was wroth with my people, I profaned mine inheritance, and gave them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou very heavily laid thy 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 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end thereof.
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, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and there is none else beside 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 thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: in their full measure shall they come upon thee, despite of the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments.
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 thou hast trusted in thy wickedness; thou hast said, None seeth me; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee: and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and there is none else beside 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 shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know the dawning thereof: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou knowest not.
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 thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest 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 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.
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 Behold, 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 unto thee wherein thou hast laboured: they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to his quarter; there shall be none to save thee.
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.
