< Izaija 28 >

1 Gorje kroni ponosa, efrájimskim pijancem, katerih veličastna lepota je odcvetena roža, ki je na čelu obilnih dolin tistih, ki so premagani z vinom.
Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards, to the fading flower of his glorious splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, the pride of those overcome by wine.
2 Glej, Gospod ima mogočnega in močnega, ki bo kakor neurje s točo in uničujoč vihar, kakor poplava mogočnih vodá, ki preplavljajo, z roko vrgel dol k zemlji.
Behold, the Lord has one who is strong and mighty. Like a hailstorm or destructive tempest, like a driving rain or flooding downpour, he will smash that crown to the ground.
3 Krona ponosa, efrájimski pijanci, bodo pomendrani pod stopali.
The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards will be trampled underfoot.
4 Veličastna lepota, ki je na čelu obilne doline, bo veneča roža in kakor zgodnji sad pred poletjem; ko ga tisti, ki pogleda nanj, vidi, ga pojé, medtem ko je še v njegovi roki.
The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest: Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.
5 Na tisti dan bo Gospod nad bojevniki za krono slave in za diadem lepote preostanku svojega ljudstva
On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,
6 in za duha sodbe tistemu, ki sedi na sodbi in za moč tistim, ki bitko odvračajo k velikim vratom.
a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
7 Vendar so tudi oni zašli zaradi vina in zaradi močne pijače so omahnili iz poti; duhovnik in prerok sta zašla zaradi močne pijače, pogoltnjena sta od vina, zaradi močne pijače sta omahnila iz poti; motita se v videnju, spotikata se v sodbi.
These also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine. They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.
8 Kajti vse mize so polne izbljuvkov in umazanosti, tako da tam ni čistega prostora.
For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.
9 Koga bo učil spoznanja? In koga bo pripravil, da razume nauk? Tiste, ki so odstavljeni od mleka in odtegnjeni od prsi.
Whom is He trying to teach? To whom is He explaining His message? To infants just weaned from milk? To babies removed from the breast?
10 Kajti predpis mora biti na predpis, predpis na predpis; ukaz na ukaz, ukaz na ukaz; malo tukaj in malo tam,
For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”
11 kajti z jecljajočimi ustnicami in drugim jezikom bo govoril temu ljudstvu.
Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues, He will speak to this people
12 Katerim je rekel: »To je počitek, s katerim lahko izmučenemu storite, da počiva in to je osvežitev.« Vendar niso hoteli poslušati.
to whom He has said: “This is the place of rest, let the weary rest; this is the place of repose.” But they would not listen.
13 Toda Gospodova beseda jim je bila predpis na predpis, predpis na predpis; ukaz na ukaz, ukaz na ukaz; malo tukaj in malo tam; da lahko gredo, padejo vznak, se zlomijo, se ulovijo in ujamejo.
Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.
14 Zato poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi posmehljivci, ki vladate temu ljudstvu, ki je v Jeruzalemu.
Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 Ker ste rekli: »Sklenili smo zavezo s smrtjo in s peklom smo v dogovoru. Ko bo šel skozi poplavljajoč bič, ta ne bo prišel k nam, kajti laži smo naredili za svoje zatočišče in pod neresnico smo se skrili.« (Sheol h7585)
For you said, “We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol. When the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: »Glej, na Sionu polagam za temelj kamen, preizkušen kamen, dragocen vogalni kamen, postavljen temelj. Kdor veruje, ne bo vznemirjeno hitel.
So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.
17 Tudi sodbo bom položil k merilu in pravičnost h grezilu in toča bo pomedla zatočišče laži in vode bodo preplavile skrivališče.
I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the level. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place.
18 Vaša zaveza s smrtjo bo razveljavljena in vaš dogovor s peklom ne bo obstal; ko bo skozi šel preplavljajoč bič, potem boste z njim pomendrani. (Sheol h7585)
Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 Od časa, ko gre ta naprej, vas bo zgrabil, kajti jutro za jutrom bo ta prehajal, podnevi in ponoči. To bo samo draženje, da razume poročilo.
As often as it passes through, it will carry you away; it will sweep through morning after morning, by day and by night.” The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.
20 Kajti postelja je krajša, kakor se človek lahko iztegne na njej in pokrivalo ožje, kakor se lahko zavije vanj.
Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket too small to wrap around you.
21 Kajti Gospod se bo dvignil kakor na gori Peracím, ogorčen bo kakor v dolini Gibeón, da lahko opravi svoje delo, svoje čudno delo in privede, da se njegovo dejanje zgodi, njegovo čudno dejanje.
For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim. He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work, and to perform His task, His disturbing task.
22 Zdaj torej ne bodite zasmehovalci, da ne bi vaše vezi postale močne, kajti od Gospoda Boga nad bojevniki sem slišal uničenje, celo določeno nad celotno zemljo.
So now, do not mock, or your shackles will become heavier. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts a decree of destruction against the whole land.
23 Pazljivo prisluhnite in poslušajte moj glas, prisluhnite in poslušajte moj govor.
Listen and hear my voice. Pay attention and hear what I say.
24 Mar orač orje ves dan, da bi sejal? Ali odpira in brana svojo zemljo?
Does the plowman plow for planting every day? Does he continuously loosen and harrow the soil?
25 Ko je njeno površino izravnal, mar ne meče naokoli pire, raztrosi kumino in meče noter glavno pšenico in določen ječmen in piriko na njihov prostor?
When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots, and rye within its border.
26 Kajti njegov Bog ga navaja k preudarnosti in ga uči.
For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
27 Kajti pira ni mlatena z mlatilno pripravo niti kolo voza obračano nad kumino, temveč je pira otepana s palico in kumina s šibo.
Surely caraway is not threshed with a sledge, and the wheel of a cart is not rolled over the cumin. But caraway is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod.
28 Krušno žito je zmleto, ker ga nikoli ne bo mlatil niti lomil s kolesom svojega voza niti ga poškodoval s konjeniki.
Grain for bread must be ground, but it is not endlessly threshed. Though the wheels of the cart roll over it, the horses do not crush it.
29 Tudi to prihaja od Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki je čudovit v nasvetu in odličen v delu.
This also comes from the LORD of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.
