Izaija 16
1 Pošljite jagnje k vladarju dežele iz Sele k divjini, h gori hčere sionske.
[The rulers of Moab will say to each other, ] “We must send some [lambs] from Sela [city] as a gift to the ruler of Judah [to persuade him to not allow his army to attack us any more]. We should send them through the desert to the king.
2 Kajti zgodilo se bo, da kakor je tavajoč ptič vržen iz gnezda, tako bodo moábske hčere pri prehodih Arnóna.
The women of Moab will be left alone at the (fords of/places where people can walk across) the Arnon [River]; they will be like [SIM] birds that have been pushed out of their nests.
3 Posvetuj se, izvrši sodbo, svojo senco naredi kakor noč v sredi opoldneva, skrij pregnance, ne izdaj tistega, ki tava.
They will cry out, ‘Help us! Tell us what we should do! Protect us completely [MET], we who are running away [from our enemies], and do not (betray us/tell our enemies where we are).
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.
Allow [those of us] who are fleeing from Moab to stay with you; hide/protect us from [our enemies who want to] destroy us!’ [Some day] there will be no one to oppress us, and our enemies will stop destroying [our land].
5 V usmiljenju bo prestol postavljen in sedel bo na njem v resnici, v Davidovem šotorskem svetišču, sodeč, iščoč sodbe in pospešujoč pravičnost.
Then [Yahweh] will appoint someone to be king who will be [a descendant of King] David. As he rules [MTY], he will be merciful and truthful. He will always do what is fair/just and quickly do what is righteous.”
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 [people of Judah] have heard about [the people of] Moab; we have heard that they are very proud and conceited [DOU]; they are insolent, but what they proudly say about themselves is not true.
7 Zato bo Moáb tulil za Moábom, vsi bodo tulili, kajti temelji Kir Heresa bodo žalovali; zagotovo so udarjeni.
[Some day all the people in] Moab will weep. They will all mourn, because [there will be no more] raisin cakes in Kir-Hareseth [city].
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.
The [crops in] the fields at Heshbon [city] will wither, and the vineyards at Sibmah [town] will wither also. The armies of [other] nations will destroy Moab, which is [like] [MET] a beautiful grapevine whose branches spread [north] to Jazer [town] and [east] to the desert. Its branches spread very far [west], to the west side of the [Dead] 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 will weep for Jazer and for the grapevines of Sibmah. I will shed tears for all of you. I will cry because people will no longer shout joyfully, like they usually do when they gather the fruit that ripens in the (summer/hot season) and the other crops that they harvest.
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.
People will no longer be glad at harvest time. No one will sing in the vineyards, no one will shout joyfully. No one will tread on grapes [to get grape juice for wine]; there will be nothing to shout about [joyfully].
11 Zato bo moja notranjost zvenela kakor harfa za Moábom in moji notranji deli za Kir Heresom.
I cry inwardly for Moab; my groaning is like [SIM] [a sad song played on] a harp. I am sad about 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 people of] Moab will go and pray at their sacred shrines, but that will not help them. They will cry out to their gods in their temples, [but] none of them will be able to rescue the people.
13 To je beseda, ki jo je od tistega časa Gospod govoril glede Moába.
Yahweh has already spoken those things 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 he says that exactly three years from now, he will destroy all the things that [the people of] Moab have been proud of. Even though they have a huge number of people in Moab now, only a few people will remain alive, and they will be weak/helpless.
