< Izaija 13 >

1 Breme Babilona, ki ga je videl Izaija, Amócov sin.
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Dvignite prapor na visoki gori, povzdignite jim glas, mahajte z roko, da lahko vstopijo v velika vrata plemičev.
Set ye up an ensign upon the high mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 Svojim posvečenim sem zapovedal, zaradi moje jeze sem poklical tudi moje mogočne, celó tiste, ki se razveseljujejo v mojem visočanstvu.
I have commanded My consecrated ones, yea, I have called My mighty ones for mine anger, even My proudly exulting ones.
4 Hrup množice po gorah kakor od številnega ljudstva, bučen hrup kraljestev narodov, zbranih skupaj. Gospod nad bojevniki pregleduje vojsko za bitko.
Hark, a tumult in the mountains, like as of a great people! Hark, the uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 Prihajajo iz daljne dežele, od konca neba, celó Gospod in orožja njegovega ogorčenja, da uničijo celotno deželo.
They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole earth.
6 Tulite, kajti Gospodov dan je pri roki, ta bo prišel kakor uničenje od Vsemogočnega.
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
7 Zato bodo vse roke oslabele in srce vsakega človeka se bo stopilo
Therefore shall all hands be slack, and every heart of man shall melt.
8 in bali se bodo. Ostre bolečine in bridkosti se jih bodo polastile. V bolečinah bodo kakor ženska, ki je v porodnih mukah. Osupli bodo drug nad drugim, njihovi obrazi bodo kakor plameni.
And they shall be affrighted; pangs and throes shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail; they shall look aghast one at another; their faces shall be faces of flame.
9 Glej, prihaja Gospodov dan, krut, z besom in silovito jezo, da naredi deželo opustošeno in njene grešnike bo pokončal iz nje.
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel, and full of wrath and fierce anger; to make the earth a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it,
10 Kajti zvezde neba in njegova ozvezdja ne bodo dajala svoje svetlobe. Sonce bo otemnelo v svojem vzhajanju in luna svoji svetlobi ne bo povzročila, da sveti.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 Zemeljski [krog] bom kaznoval zaradi njihovega zla in zlobne zaradi njihove krivičnosti in povzročil bom, da se aroganca ponosnih konča in ponižal bom oholost strašnih.
And I will visit upon the world their evil, and upon the wicked their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the tyrants.
12 Človeka bom naredil dragocenejšega kakor čisto zlato, celo človeka kakor zlat klin iz Ofírja.
I will make man more rare than fine gold, even man than the pure gold of Ophir.
13 Zato bom stresel nebo in zemlja se bo odmaknila iz svojega mesta, v besu Gospoda nad bojevniki in na dan njegove krute jeze.
Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of her place, for the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and for the day of His fierce anger.
14 In bo kakor preganjana srna in kakor ovca, ki je nihče ne ujame. Obrnili se bodo vsak človek k svojemu lastnemu ljudstvu in vsak bo bežal v svojo lastno deželo.
And it shall come to pass, that as the chased gazelle, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land.
15 Vsak, kdor je najden, bo preboden in vsak, kdor jim je pridružen, bo padel pod mečem.
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is caught shall fall by the sword.
16 Tudi njihovi otroci bodo razbiti na koščke pred njihovimi očmi, njihove hiše bodo oplenjene in njihove žene posiljene.
Their babes also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Glej, zoper njih bom razvnel Medijce, ki se ne bodo ozirali na srebro in glede zlata, v njem se ne bodo razveseljevali.
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Tudi njihovi loki bodo mladeniče raztreščili na koščke in ne bodo imeli usmiljenja do sadu maternice; njihovo oko ne bo prizaneslo otrokom.
And their bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19 Babilon, slava kraljestev, lepota kaldejske odličnosti, bo kakor, ko je Bog razdejal Sódomo in Gomóro.
And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 Ta ne bo nikoli naseljen niti se ne bo prebivalo v njem od roda do roda, niti tam Arabec ne bo postavil šotora, niti tam pastirji ne bodo postavljali svojih staj.
It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation; neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 Temveč bodo tam ležale divje puščavske živali in njihove hiše bodo polne otožnih živih ustvarjenih bitij in sove bodo prebivale tam in kozjenogi bodo tam plesali.
But wild-cats shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of ferrets; and ostriches shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 Divje živali z otokov bodo klicale v njihovih zapuščenih hišah in zmaji v njihovih prijetnih palačah in njen čas je blizu, da pride in njeni dnevi ne bodo podaljšani.
And jackals shall howl in their castles, and wild-dogs in the pleasant palaces; and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
