Izaija 3
1 Kajti glej, Gospod, Gospod nad bojevniki, jemlje proč od Jeruzalema in od Juda, podporo in palico, celotno podporo kruha in celotno podporo vode,
For, behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, doth remove from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
2 mogočnega človeka in bojevnika, sodnika in preroka, razsodnega in starca,
The hero, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 petdesetnika, častitljivega človeka, svetovalca, spretnega rokodelca in zgovornega govornika.
The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the skilful artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 Otroke jim bom dal za prince in otročiči bodo vladali nad njimi.
And I will set up boys as their princes, and children shall rule over them.
5 Ljudstvo bo zatirano, eden od drugega in vsakdo od svojega soseda; otrok se bo ponosno vedel zoper starca in nizek zoper častitljivega.
And so shall the people press man against man, and one against the other: the boy shall demean himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
6 Ko bo človek zgrabil svojega brata iz hiše svojega očeta, rekoč: »Oblačilo imaš, bodi naš vladar in naj bo ta razvalina pod tvojo roko, «
When a man will seize hold on his brother in the house of his father, [saying, ] Thou hast a garment, thou shalt be our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
7 na tisti dan bo ta prisegel, rekoč: »Ne bom ranocelnik, kajti v moji hiši ni niti kruha niti obleke. Ne postavljajte me za vladarja ljudstvu.«
He will swear on that day, saying, I will not be a chief; and in my house is neither bread nor clothing; you shall not appoint me a ruler of the people.
8 Kajti Jeruzalem je razrušen in Juda je padel, ker so njihov jezik in njihova početja zoper Gospoda, da izzivajo oči njegove slave.
For Jerusalem is sunk to decay, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to incense the eyes of his glory.
9 Prikaz njihovega obličja pričuje zoper njih, ne skrivajo svojega greha, razglašajo ga kakor Sódoma. Gorje njihovi duši! Kajti nagradili so se z zlom.
The boldness of their face testifieth against them; and like Sodom they tell openly their sin, they conceal it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have prepared evil unto themselves.
10 Recite pravičnemu, da bo dobro z njim; kajti jedli bodo sad svojih dejanj.
Say ye to the righteous, that he hath done well; for the fruit of their doings shall they eat.
11 Gorje zlobnemu! Z njim bo slabo, kajti dana mu bo nagrada njegovih rok.
Woe unto the wicked who doeth evil; for the recompense of his hands shall be bestowed on him.
12 Kar se tiče mojega ljudstva, so njihovi zatiralci otroci, vladajo pa jim ženske. Oh moje ljudstvo, tisti, ki te vodijo, ti povzročajo, da se motiš in uničujejo pot tvojih steza.
My people! their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. O my people! thy leaders cause thee to err, and the direction of thy paths they corrupt.
13 Gospod vstaja, da bi se pravdal in stoji, da bi sodil ljudstvu.
The Lord is stepped forth to plead, and standeth up to judge the people.
14 Gospod bo stopil na sodbo s starci svojega ljudstva in njegovimi princi, kajti požrli ste vinograd; plen ubogih je v vaših hišah.
The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and their princes; but ye—ye have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15 ›Kaj nameravate, da lomite moje ljudstvo na koščke in meljete obraze revnih?‹ govori Gospod Bog nad vojskami.
What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind down the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the Eternal of hosts.
16 Poleg tega Gospod govori: ›Ker so hčere sionske ošabne in hodijo z vratovi, iztegnjenimi naprej in poltenimi očmi, hodijo in drobijo medtem ko gredo in zvončkljajo s svojimi stopali,
And the Lord said, Forasmuch as the daughters of Zion are proud, and walk with stretched forth necks and casting about their eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 zato bo Gospod s krasto udaril tême sionskih hčera in Gospod bo odkril njihove skrite dele.
Therefore will the Lord smite with leprosy the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will lay open their nakedness.
18 Na tisti dan bo Gospod odvzel pogumnost njihovih zvončkljajočih ornamentov okoli njihovih stopal in njihove čepice in njihove okrogle rute, podobne luni,
On that day will the Lord take away the beauty of their tinkling shoe-buckles, and the hair-nets, and the crescent-shaped ornaments,
19 verižice, zapestnice, šale,
The drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 klobučke, ornamente nog, naglavne trakove, ogrlice, uhane,
The bonnets, and the foot-chains, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 prstane, nosne dragocenosti,
The finger-rings, and nose-jewels,
22 zamenljive ogrinjalne kostime, plašče, plete, torbice,
The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the pockets.
23 zrcala, tanko laneno platno, kapuce in zagrinjala.
The mirrors, and the chemisettes, and the turbans, and the long vails.
24 Zgodilo se bo, da bo namesto prijetnega vonja tam zaudarjanje, namesto pasu vrv, namesto pričeske plešavost, namesto životca opasovanje vrečevine in opeklina namesto lepote.
And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be corruption; and instead of a girdle a rope; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a wide garment a girding of sackcloth, a mark of burning instead of beauty.
25 Tvoji možje bodo padli pod mečem in tvoji mogočni v vojni.
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty ones in the war.
26 Njena velika vrata bodo žalovala in tulila in ona bo zapuščena sedela na tleh.
And then shall her gates lament and mourn; and stript of all shall she sit upon the ground.
