Izaija 16
1 Pošljite jagnje k vladarju dežele iz Sele k divjini, h gori hčere sionske.
Send lambs as tribute to the ruler of the land, from Sela through the desert, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 Kajti zgodilo se bo, da kakor je tavajoč ptič vržen iz gnezda, tako bodo moábske hčere pri prehodih Arnóna.
The Moabite women at the fords of the Arnon are like birds fluttering around when their nest is destroyed.
3 Posvetuj se, izvrši sodbo, svojo senco naredi kakor noč v sredi opoldneva, skrij pregnance, ne izdaj tistega, ki tava.
Think about it and make a decision. Make your shadow as invisible at midday as during the night. Hide the refugees; don't betray them as they run away.
4 Naj moji pregnanci prebivajo s teboj, Moáb. Bodi jim skrivališče pred obličjem plenilca. Izsiljevalec je pri koncu, plenilec pojenjuje, kajti zatiralci so použiti iz dežele.
Let my refugees stay among you, Moab. Hide them from our enemies until the destroyer is no more, the destruction is over, and the aggressive invaders have gone.
5 V usmiljenju bo prestol postavljen in sedel bo na njem v resnici, v Davidovem šotorskem svetišču, sodeč, iščoč sodbe in pospešujoč pravičnost.
Then a kingdom will be set up based on trustworthy love, and on its throne will sit a faithful king from the line of David. He will judge fairly, and will be passionately committed to doing what is right.
6 Slišali smo o Moábovem ponosu; zelo je ponosen, celó o njegovi oholosti in njegovem ponosu in njegovem besu, toda njegove laži ne bodo takšne.
We know all about the pride of the Moabites, how terribly vain and conceited they are, completely arrogant! But their boasting is false.
7 Zato bo Moáb tulil za Moábom, vsi bodo tulili, kajti temelji Kir Heresa bodo žalovali; zagotovo so udarjeni.
All the Moabites grieve for Moab. They all mourn the loss of the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth, all of them destroyed.
8 Kajti hešbónska polja pešajo in vino iz Sibme. Gospodarji poganov so zlomili njegove glavne sadike, prišli so celó do Jazêrja, tavali so skozi divjino. Njegovi poganjki se iztezajo, odšli so preko morja.
Heshbon's fields have dried up, as have Sibmah's grapevines. The rulers of the nations have trampled down the vines that once branched out to Jazer and east towards the desert, and west as far as the sea.
9 Zato bom z jokom objokoval sibmansko trto iz Jazêrja. Namakal te bom s svojimi solzami, oh Hešbón in Elaléja, zaradi vpitja za tvojimi poletnimi sadovi in ker je tvoja žetev propadla.
So I cry with Jazer for Sibmah's vines; I soak Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears. Nobody shouts in celebration over your summer fruit and your harvest any more.
10 Veselje je odvzeto in radost iz obilnega polja in v vinogradih ne bo prepevanja niti ne bo vriskanja niti tam ne bo vpitja. Tlačitelji ne bodo tlačili nobenega vina v svojih stiskalnicah; njihovemu vriskanju ob trgatvi sem naredil, da odneha.
Joy and happiness are gone. Nobody celebrates in the harvest fields or the vineyards; nobody shouts happily. Nobody treads grapes in the winepresses. I have stopped their cheering.
11 Zato bo moja notranjost zvenela kakor harfa za Moábom in moji notranji deli za Kir Heresom.
Heartbroken I cry for Moab like sad music on a harp; deep inside I weep for Kir-hareseth.
12 In zgodilo se bo, ko bo videno, da je Moáb izmučen na visokih krajih, da bo prišel k svojemu svetišču, da moli, toda ne bo prevladal.
The Moabites go and wear themselves out worshiping at their high places. They go to their shrines to pray, but it does them no good.
13 To je beseda, ki jo je od tistega časa Gospod govoril glede Moába.
This is the message that the Lord has already delivered about Moab.
14 Toda sedaj je Gospod govoril, rekoč: »Znotraj treh let, kakor so najemnikova leta in Moábova slava bo zaničevana z vso tisto veliko množico in preostanek bo zelo majhen in slaboten.«
But now the Lord speaks again, and says, In three years, just as a contract worker precisely counts years, Moab's glory will turn into something to be laughed at. Despite there being so many Moabites now, soon there will only be a few feeble people left.
