Isaiah 8
1 Moreover, the LORD said to me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Poleg tega mi je Gospod rekel: »Vzemi si velik zvitek in vanj zapiši s človeškim pisalom glede Mahér Šalál Haš Baza.«
2 And I took to me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
K sebi sem vzel zvesti priči, da zabeležita: duhovnika Urijá in Jeberehjájevega sina Zeharjá.
3 And I went to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Odšel sem k prerokinji in spočela je ter rodila sina. Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Njegovo ime kliči Mahér Šalál Haš Baz.
4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
Kajti preden bo imel otrok spoznanje, da kliče: ›Moj oče in moja mati, ‹ bodo bogastva Damaska in plen Samarije odvzeti pred asirskim kraljem.«
5 The LORD spoke also to me again, saying,
Gospod mi je prav tako ponovno spregovoril, rekoč:
6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that flow gently, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
»Ker kakor to ljudstvo odklanja síloaške vode, ki mirno tečejo in se veselijo v Recínu in Remaljájevemu sinu,
7 Now therefore, behold, the LORD bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, [even] the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks:
zdaj torej, glej, Gospod prinaša nadnje vode iz reke, močne in številne, celó asirskega kralja in vso njegovo slavo in prestopil bo vse njegove kanale in prestopil vse njegove bregove
8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach [even] to the neck; and the extension of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
in šel bo skozi Juda, preplavil bo in šel preko, segel bo celó do vratu in razprostirajoč svoje peruti bo napolnil širino tvoje dežele, oh Emanuel.«
9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
Povežite se med seboj, oh ve ljudstva in razbiti boste na koščke in pazljivo prisluhnite, vsi vi iz daljnih dežel, opašite se in zlomljeni boste na koščke, opašite se in zlomljeni boste na koščke.
10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God [is] with us.
Skupaj se posvetujte in to se bo izjalovilo, govorite besedo, pa ta ne bo obstala, kajti Bog je z nami.
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
Kajti Gospod mi je tako govoril z močno roko in me učil, da naj ne hodim po poti tega ljudstva, rekoč:
12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
»Ne reci: ›Zarota, ‹ vsem tistim, ki jim bo to ljudstvo reklo: ›Zarota, ‹ niti se ne bojte njihovega strahu niti ne bodi prestrašeni.
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread.
Posvečujte Gospoda nad bojevniki samega in naj bo on vaš strah in naj bo on vaša groza.
14 And he will be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
On vam bo svetišče, toda za kamen spotike in za skalo pohujšanja obema Izraelovima hišama, za past in za zanko prebivalcem Jeruzalema.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be insnared, and be taken.
Številni izmed njih se bodo spotaknili, padli, zlomljeni bodo, ujeti v zanko in zajeti.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
Poveži pričevanje, zapečati postavo med mojimi učenci.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Čakal bom na Gospoda, ki svoj obraz skriva pred Jakobovo hišo in iskal ga bom.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me [are] for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.
Glejte, jaz in otroci, ki mi jih je dal Gospod, smo za znamenja in za čudeže v Izraelu od Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki prebiva na gori Sion.
19 And when they shall say to you, Seek to them that have familiar spirits, and to wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek to their God? for the living to the dead?
Ko ti bodo rekli: »Obrni se k tem, ki imajo osebne duhove in k čarovnikom, ki čivkajo in ki mrmrajo. Mar naj ne bi ljudstvo iskalo svojega Boga? Za žive k mrtvim?«
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.
K postavi in k pričevanju. Če ne govorijo glede na to besedo, je to zato, ker v njih ni svetlobe.
21 And they shall pass through it, distressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
Šli bodo skozi to, silno ogorčeni in lačni. In zgodilo se bo, da ko bodo lačni, da se bodo v jezi razburili in preklinjali svojega kralja, svojega Boga in gledali navzgor.
22 And they shall look to the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and [they shall be] driven to darkness.
Pogledali bodo na zemljo in glej stiska in tema, temačnost tesnobe in gnani bodo v temo.
