Isaiah 19
1 A declaration about Egypt. See, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt; the idols of Egypt quake before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within themselves.
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 Egyptians against Egyptians: A man will fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbor; city will be 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 be weakened from within. I will destroy his advice, though they sought the advice of idols, dead men's spirits, mediums, and spiritualists.
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 the Egyptians into the hand of a harsh master, and a strong king will rule over them— this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts.”
Egipčane bom predal v roko krutega gospodarja in silovit kralj bo vladal nad njimi, « govori Gospod, Gospod nad bojevniki.
5 The waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will dry up and become empty.
Vode iz morja se bodo posušile in reke bodo zapuščene in posušene.
6 The rivers will become foul; the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry 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 reeds along the Nile, at the mouth of the Nile, and every sown field beside the Nile will become parched, will be driven away, and will 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 wail and mourn, and all who cast a hook into the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will grieve.
Tudi ribiči bodo žalovali in vsi tisti, ki mečejo trnek v potoke, bodo žalovali in tisti, ki razširjajo mreže nad vodami, bodo pešali.
9 The workers in combed flax and those who weave white cloth will turn pale.
Poleg tega bodo zbegani tisti, ki delajo s tankim lanom in tisti, ki tkejo mreže.
10 The cloth workers of Egypt will be crushed; all who work for hire will be grieved within themselves.
Zlomljeni bodo v svojih namenih vsi, ki delajo zapornice in ribnike za ribe.
11 The princes of Zoan are completely foolish. The advice of the wisest advisors of Pharaoh has become senseless. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of wise men, a 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 wise men? Let them tell you and make known what Yahweh of hosts plans 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 made Egypt go astray, who are the cornerstones of her tribes.
Princi Coana so postali bedaki, princi Nofa so zavedeni, zapeljali so tudi Egipt, celó tiste, ki so opora njegovih rodov.
14 Yahweh has mixed a spirit of distortion into her midst, and they have led Egypt astray in all she does, like a drunk staggering 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 There is nothing anyone can do for Egypt, whether head or tail, palm branch or reed.
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 upraised hand of Yahweh of hosts that he raises 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 cause of staggering to Egypt. Whenever anyone reminds them of her, they will be afraid, because of the plan of Yahweh, that he is planning against them.
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 allegiance to Yahweh of hosts. One of these 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 Yahweh in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a stone pillar at the border to Yahweh.
Na tisti dan bo tam oltar Gospodu v sredi egiptovske dežele in steber Gospodu pri njegovi meji.
20 It will be as a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, 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 Yahweh will become known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will acknowledge Yahweh on that day. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings, and will make vows to Yahweh and fulfill 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 Yahweh will afflict Egypt, afflicting and healing. They will return to Yahweh; he will hear their prayer 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 from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come to Egypt, and the Egyptian to 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 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 Yahweh of hosts will bless them and say, “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.«
