Izaija 16
1 Pošljite jagnje k vladarju dežele iz Sele k divjini, h gori hčere sionske.
Send ye a lamb [to] the ruler of the land, From Selah in the wilderness, Unto the mount 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.
And it hath come to pass, As a wandering bird, a nest cast out, Are daughters of Moab, [at] fords of Arnon.
3 Posvetuj se, izvrši sodbo, svojo senco naredi kakor noč v sredi opoldneva, skrij pregnance, ne izdaj tistega, ki tava.
Bring ye in counsel, do judgment, Make as night thy shadow in the midst of noon, Hide outcasts, the wanderer reveal not.
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.
Sojourn in thee do My outcasts, O Moab, Be a secret hiding-place to them, From the face of a destroyer, For ceased hath the extortioner, Finished hath been a destroyer, Consumed the treaders down out of the land.
5 V usmiljenju bo prestol postavljen in sedel bo na njem v resnici, v Davidovem šotorskem svetišču, sodeč, iščoč sodbe in pospešujoč pravičnost.
And established in kindness is the throne, And [one] hath sat on it in truth, in the tent of David, Judging and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
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 have heard of the pride of Moab — very proud, His pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath, Not right [are] his devices.
7 Zato bo Moáb tulil za Moábom, vsi bodo tulili, kajti temelji Kir Heresa bodo žalovali; zagotovo so udarjeni.
Therefore howl doth Moab for Moab, all of it doth howl, For the grape-cakes of Kir-Hareseth it meditateth, Surely they are smitten.
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.
Because fields of Heshbon languish, The vine of Sibmah, Lords of nations did beat her choice vines, Unto Jazer they have come, They have wandered in a wilderness, Her plants have spread themselves, They have passed over a 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.
Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I water thee [with] my tear, O Heshbon and Elealeh, For — for thy summer fruits, and for thy harvest, The shouting hath fallen.
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.
And removed have been gladness and joy from the fruitful field, And in vineyards they sing not, nor shout, Wine in the presses treadeth not the treader, Shouting I have caused to cease.
11 Zato bo moja notranjost zvenela kakor harfa za Moábom in moji notranji deli za Kir Heresom.
Therefore my bowels for Moab as a harp do sound, And mine inward parts for Kir-Haresh.
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.
And it hath come to pass, when it hath been seen, That weary hath been Moab on the high place, And he hath come unto his sanctuary to pray, And is not able.
13 To je beseda, ki jo je od tistega časa Gospod govoril glede Moába.
This [is] the word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moab from that time,
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.«
And now hath Jehovah spoken, saying, 'In three years, as years of an hireling, Lightly esteemed is the honour of Moab, With all the great multitude, And the remnant [is] little, small, not mighty!'
