< Isaiah 8 >
1 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Take to thee a great tablet, and write upon it with a graving tool of man, To haste spoil, enjoy prey.'
Poleg tega mi je Gospod rekel: »Vzemi si velik zvitek in vanj zapiši s človeškim pisalom glede Mahér Šalál Haš Baza.«
2 And I cause faithful witnesses to testify to me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.
K sebi sem vzel zvesti priči, da zabeležita: duhovnika Urijá in Jeberehjájevega sina Zeharjá.
3 And I draw near unto the prophetess, and she conceiveth, and beareth a son; and Jehovah saith unto 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 youth doth know to cry, My father, and My mother, one taketh away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria, before the king of Asshur.'
Kajti preden bo imel otrok spoznanje, da kliče: ›Moj oče in moja mati, ‹ bodo bogastva Damaska in plen Samarije odvzeti pred asirskim kraljem.«
5 And Jehovah addeth to speak unto me again, saying:
Gospod mi je prav tako ponovno spregovoril, rekoč:
6 'Because that this people hath refused The waters of Shiloah that go softly, And is rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
»Ker kakor to ljudstvo odklanja síloaške vode, ki mirno tečejo in se veselijo v Recínu in Remaljájevemu sinu,
7 Therefore, lo, the Lord is bringing up on them, The waters of the river, the mighty and the great, (The king of Asshur, and all his glory, ) And it hath gone up over all its streams, And hath gone on 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 it hath passed on into Judah, It hath overflown and passed over, Unto the neck it cometh, And the stretching out of its wings Hath been the fulness of the breadth of thy land, O Emmanu-El!
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 Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all ye far off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken.
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, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it doth not stand, Because of Emmanu-El!'
Skupaj se posvetujte in to se bo izjalovilo, govorite besedo, pa ta ne bo obstala, kajti Bog je z nami.
11 For thus hath Jehovah spoken unto me with strength of hand, and instructeth me against walking 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 'Ye do not say, A confederacy, To all to whom this people saith, A confederacy, And its fear ye do not fear, Nor declare fearful.
»Ne reci: ›Zarota, ‹ vsem tistim, ki jim bo to ljudstvo reklo: ›Zarota, ‹ niti se ne bojte njihovega strahu niti ne bodi prestrašeni.
13 Jehovah of Hosts — Him ye do sanctify, And He [is] your Fear, and He your Dread,
Posvečujte Gospoda nad bojevniki samega in naj bo on vaš strah in naj bo on vaša groza.
14 And He hath been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of Israel, For a gin 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 have stumbled and fallen, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
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 have waited for Jehovah, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him.
Čakal bom na Gospoda, ki svoj obraz skriva pred Jakobovo hišo in iskal ga bom.
18 Lo, I, and the children whom Jehovah hath given to me, [Are] for signs and for wonders in Israel, From Jehovah of Hosts, who is dwelling 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 say unto you, 'Seek unto those having familiar spirits, And unto wizards, who chatter and mutter, Doth not a people seek unto its God? — For the living unto 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 not, let them say after this manner, 'That there is no dawn to it.'
K postavi in k pričevanju. Če ne govorijo glede na to besedo, je to zato, ker v njih ni svetlobe.
21 — And it hath passed over into it, hardened and hungry, And it hath come to pass, That it is hungry, and hath been wroth, And made light of its king, and of its God, And hath looked upwards.
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 unto the land it looketh attentively, And lo, adversity and darkness! — Dimness, distress, and thick darkness is driven away, But not the dimness for which she is in distress!
Pogledali bodo na zemljo in glej stiska in tema, temačnost tesnobe in gnani bodo v temo.
