Izaija 10
1 Gorje tistim, ki razglašajo krivične odloke in ki pišejo muko, ki so jo predpisali,
Tragedy is coming to those who pass evil decrees and who write laws to harm people.
2 da odvrnejo pomoči potrebnega stran od sodbe in da odvzamejo pravico od revnega izmed mojega ljudstva, da bi bile lahko vdove njihov plen in da lahko oropajo osirotelega!
They pervert the legal rights of the needy, and rob justice from the poor of my people. They steal from widows and cheat orphans.
3 Kaj boste storili na dan obiskanja in v opustošenju, ki bo prišlo od daleč? H komu boste pobegnili po pomoč? In kje boste pustili svojo slavo?
What are you going to do on the day you're punished, when disaster falls on you from far away? Who are you going to run to so you can get help? Where are you going to leave all your wealth?
4 Brez mene se bodo sklonili pod ujetniki in padli bodo pod umorjenimi. Zaradi vsega tega njegova jeza ni odvrnjena, temveč je njegova roka še vedno iztegnjena.
All you'll be able to do is to bow down as prisoners, or lie among the dead! In all of this he is still angry and his hand is still raised.
5 Oh Asirec, šiba moje jeze in palica v njihovi roki je moje ogorčenje.
Tragedy is coming to the Assyrians, even though the rod they use represents my anger and the stick they hold in their hands represents my fury!
6 Poslal ga bom zoper hinavski narod in zoper ljudstvo mojega besa mu bom dal zadolžitev, da vzame ukradeno blago, da vzame plen in da jih potepta kakor ulično blato.
I am sending the Assyrians against a nation that has given up on its God, against a people that make me angry. I order the Assyrians to loot them, to take their possessions, and to trample them down like mud in the street.
7 Vendar on ne meni tako niti njegovo srce ne misli tako, temveč je na njegovem srcu to, da uniči in iztrebi ne malo narodov.
But this isn't what is behind the thinking of the king of Assyria. This isn't the plan he has in mind. What he wants to do is to destroy and eliminate many nations.
8 Kajti on pravi: » Mar niso moji princi vsi skupaj kralji?
He says: “All my commanders are kings!
9 Mar ni Kalne kakor Kárkemiš? Mar ni Hamát kakor Arpád? Mar ni Samarija kakor Damask?
We conquered Calno like we did Carchemish; Hamath like Arpad; Samaria like Damascus.
10 Kakor je moja roka našla kraljestva malikov in katerih rezane podobe so nadkriljevale te iz Jeruzalema in iz Samarije,
I was the one who conquered these kingdoms along with the idols of their gods. These kingdoms had images of their gods that were better than those of Jerusalem and Samaria.
11 mar ne bom, kakor sem storil Samariji in njenim malikom, tako storil Jeruzalemu in njegovim malikom?
Why shouldn't I do to Jerusalem and her idols just what I did to Samaria and her idols?”
12 Kjerkoli se bo to pripetilo, da ko Gospod opravi svoje celotno delo na gori Sion in v Jeruzalemu, bom kaznoval sad arogantnega srca asirskega kralja in slavo njegovih vzvišenih pogledov.
Once the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will punish the king of Assyria for his terrible arrogance and for the conceited look in his eyes.
13 Ker pravi: › To sem storil z močjo svoje dlani in s svojo modrostjo, ker sem razsoden. Ljudstvu sem odstranil meje in oropal njihove zaklade in kakor hraber človek ponižal prebivalce
For the king of Assyria says: “I have done this in my own strength. It was through my wisdom, because I'm clever. I have wiped out the boundaries of nations and looted their treasures. Like a bull I knocked their rulers off their thrones.
14 in moja roka je našla kakor gnezdo bogastva ljudstev; in kakor nekdo zbira jajca, ki so ostala, sem jaz zbral vso zemljo in nikogar ni bilo, ki bi zganil perut ali odprl usta ali začivkal.
Like robbing a bird's nest, I took the wealth of the nations. Like collecting abandoned eggs, I collected the whole the earth. There wasn't a fluttering wing or an open beak, not even a chirp!”
15 Mar se bo sekira bahala pred tistim, ki z njo seka? Mar se bo žaga poveličevala pred tistim, ki jo vleče? Kakor če bi se palica tresla pred tistim, ki jo vzdiguje, ali kakor če bi se palica sama vzdigovala, kakor če ne bi bila les.
Does an ax say it's more important than the person swinging it? Does a saw boast that it's greater than the person sawing with it? It would be as if a rod waved the person holding it, or a walking stick lifted up a person—who certainly wasn't wood!
16 Zato bo Gospod, Gospod nad bojevniki, med njegove rejene poslal pustost in pod njegovo slavo bo vžgal gorenje, podobno gorenju ognja.
So the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will send a disease on the king of Assyria's strong warriors that will make them waste away; a flaming fire will be set under everything he's so proud of.
17 Izraelova svetloba bo za ogenj in njegov Sveti za plamen in ta bo gorel in v enem dnevu bo pogoltnil njegovo trnje in njegove osate
Israel's light will become a fire, and his Holy One will become a flame. It will burn up his thorns and brambles in just one day.
18 in použil bo slavo njegovega gozda in njegovega rodovitnega polja, tako dušo kakor telo in oni bodo kakor kadar nosilec prapora slabi.
It will totally destroy its splendid forests and orchards. Assyria will waste away, staggering off like someone sick.
19 Preostanka dreves njegovega gozda bo malo, da jih lahko otrok zapiše.
The trees left in its forests will be so few that a child could count them.
20 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da se Izraelov ostanek in tisti, ki so pobegnili od Jakobove hiše, ne bodo več ponovno naslanjali nanj, ki jih je udaril, temveč se bodo v resnici naslanjali na Gospoda, Svetega Izraelovega.
At that time those who are left in Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer trust in those who turn on them, but they will truly trust in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
21 Preostanek se bo vrnil, celó Jakobov preostanek, k mogočnemu Bogu.
A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will come back to the Mighty God.
22 Kajti čeprav bo tvojega ljudstva Izraela kakor morskega peska, se bo vendar ostanek izmed njih vrnil. Odrejeno uničenje bo preplavljeno s pravičnostjo.
Israel, even though your people are as numerous as sand on the seashore, only a remnant will return. The Lord has rightly decided to destroy his people.
23 Kajti Gospod Bog nad bojevniki bo naredil uničenje, celo določeno, v sredi vse dežele.
The Lord God Almighty has rightly decided to bring destruction throughout the whole country.
24 Zato tako govori Gospod Bog nad bojevniki: ›Oh moje ljudstvo, ki prebivaš na Sionu, ne boj se Asirca. Udaril te bo s palico in svojo palico bo vzdignil zoper tebe po načinu Egipta.
So this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says, My people living in Zion, don't be afraid of the Assyrians who beat you with rods and hit you with clubs, just like the Egyptians did.
25 Kajti še zelo kratek čas in ogorčenje bo prenehalo in moja jeza v njihovem uničenju.
Very shortly I will stop being angry with you. Then I will turn my anger on them and I will destroy them.
26 Gospod nad bojevniki bo zanj razvnel bič, glede na pokol Midjána, pri Orébovi skali in kakor je bila njegova palica nad morjem, tako jo bo vzdignil po načinu Egipta.
The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip, just as he did when he attacked the Midianites at the rock of Oreb. He will hold up his rod over the sea, just as he did in Egypt.
27 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo njegovo breme vzeto iz tvoje rame in njegov jarem iz tvojega vratu in jarem bo uničen zaradi maziljenja.
At that time he will remove the burden from your shoulders and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because of the anointing with oil.
28 Prišel je v Ajo, prešel je do Migróna, pri Mihmášu je shranil svoje vozove.
The Assyrians came to Aiath, passed through Migron, and stored their supplies at Michmash.
29 Šli so preko prelaza. Pri Gebi so se nastanili, Rama je prestrašena, Savlova Gíbea je zbežala.
They cross the pass, saying, “We'll stay overnight at Geba.” The people of Ramah tremble in fear; the inhabitants of Gibeah of Saul run away.
30 Povzdigni svoj glas, oh hči galímska. Povzroči mu, da bo ta slišan do Láješa, oh ubogi Anatót.
Shout out a warning, people of Gallim! Pay attention, those living in Laishah! You poor people of Anathoth!
31 Madménah je odstranjen, prebivalci Gebíma so se zbrali skupaj, da pobegnejo.
The people of Madmenah, are all running away. The inhabitants of Gebim are looking for somewhere safe.
32 Ta dan bo ostal pri Nobu. Svojo roko bo stresel zoper goro hčere sionske, jeruzalemski hrib.
Today the invaders stop at Nob, shaking their fists at the mountain of the Daughter of Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Glej, Gospod, Gospod nad bojevniki, bo vejo obrezal s strahoto in tisti z visoko postavo bodo posekani in ošabni bodo ponižani.
Look how the Lord Almighty is going to chop off the branches with great force. The tall trees will be cut down, the proud trees will be brought crashing down.
34 Z železom bo posekal gozdne goščave in Libanon bo padel po mogočnem.
He will cut down the thick forest with an ax, and Lebanon will fall at the hand of the Mighty One.
