Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Breme Damaska: »Glej, Damask je odvzet od tega, da je mesto in bo kup razvalin.
2 The cities of Aroer [are] forsaken: they shall 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 also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith 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 And in that day it shall come to pass, [that] the glory of Jacob shall be diminished, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.
»Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da se bo Jakobova slava stanjšala in mastnost njegovega mesa bo shujšala.
5 And it shall be as when the harvest-man gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears 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 gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive-tree, two [or] three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four [or] five in the outmost fruitful branches of it, saith the LORD 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 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
Na tisti dan bo človek gledal k svojemu Stvarniku in njegove oči bodo imele spoštovanje do Svetega Izraelovega.
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect [that] which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
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 shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be 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 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with foreign slips:
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 shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: [but] the harvest [shall be] a heap 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 Woe to the multitude of many people, [who] make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, [that] make a rushing 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 shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but [God] will rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
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 And behold at the time of evening trouble; [and] before the morning he [is] not. This [is] the portion of them that ravage us, and the lot of them that 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.
