Izaija 17
1 Breme Damaska: »Glej, Damask je odvzet od tega, da je mesto in bo kup razvalin.
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 Mesta Aroêrja so zapuščena. Ta bodo za trope, ki bodo legli in nihče jih ne bo strašil.
The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3 Trdnjava bo prav tako prenehala od Efrájima in kraljestvo od Damaska in preostanek iz Sirije. Oni bodo kakor slava Izraelovih otrok, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria; they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 »Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da se bo Jakobova slava stanjšala in mastnost njegovega mesa bo shujšala.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
5 To bo kakor ko žanjec zbira žito in s svojim laktom žanje klasje, in to bo kakor tisti, ki zbira klasje v dolini Rafájim.
And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing corn, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 Vendar bodo v njem ostali paberkovalni grozdi, kakor tresenje oljke, dve ali tri jagode na vrhu najvišje veje, štiri ali pet na njenih zunanjih rodovitnih mladikah, « govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog.
Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 Na tisti dan bo človek gledal k svojemu Stvarniku in njegove oči bodo imele spoštovanje do Svetega Izraelovega.
In that day shall a man look unto his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8 Ne bo gledal k oltarjem, delu svojih rok niti ne bo spoštoval tega, kar so naredili njegovi prsti ali ašer ali podob.
And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall he have respect to that which his fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images.
9 Na tisti dan bodo njegova utrjena mesta kakor zapuščena veja in najvišja mladika, ki so jo pustili zaradi Izraelovih otrok in tam bo opustošenje.
In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel: and it shall be a desolation.
10 Ker si pozabil Boga rešitve svoje duše in se nisi spominjal skale svoje moči, zato boš sadil prijetne rastline in jih cepil s tujimi cepljenci.
For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore thou plantest pleasant plants, and settest it with strange slips:
11 Podnevi boš svoji rastlini naredil, da zraste in zjutraj boš svojemu semenu naredil, da cveti, toda žetev bo kup na dan žalosti in obupne bridkosti.
In the day of thy planting thou hedgest it in, and in the morning thou makest thy seed to blossom: but the harvest fleeth away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 Gorje množici številnih ljudi, ki zganjajo hrup, podoben hrupu morij in vrvežu narodov, ki delajo vrvež, podoben vrvežu mogočnih vodá!
Ah, the uproar of many peoples, which roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 Narodi bodo hiteli kakor besnenje mnogih vodá, toda Bog jih bo ukoril in pobegnili bodo daleč proč in pregnani bodo kakor pleve gora pred vetrom in kakor kotaleča se stvar pred vrtinčastim vetrom.
The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but he shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
14 Glej, ob večernem času stiska in pred jutrom ga ni. To je delež tistih, ki nas plenijo in žreb tistih, ki nas ropajo.
At eventide behold terror; [and] before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
