< 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,
See, the Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and staff: the whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water,
2 mogočnega človeka in bojevnika, sodnika in preroka, razsodnega in starca,
the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the one who practices divination and the elder,
3 petdesetnika, častitljivega človeka, svetovalca, spretnega rokodelca in zgovornega govornika.
the captain of fifty and the respected citizen, the counselor, the expert craftsman and the skillful enchanter.
4 Otroke jim bom dal za prince in otročiči bodo vladali nad njimi.
“I will place mere youths as their leaders, and the young will 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.
The people will be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor; the child will insult the elderly, and the degraded will challenge 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, «
A man will even take hold of his brother in his father's house and say, 'You have a coat; be our ruler, and let this ruin be in your hands.'
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.«
On that day he will shout and say, 'I will not be a healer; I have no bread or clothing. You will not make me 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 has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, because their speech and their actions are against Yahweh, defying 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 look on their faces witnesses against them; and they tell of their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have completed a catastrophe for themselves.
10 Recite pravičnemu, da bo dobro z njim; kajti jedli bodo sad svojih dejanj.
Tell the righteous person that it will be well, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
11 Gorje zlobnemu! Z njim bo slabo, kajti dana mu bo nagrada njegovih rok.
Woe to the wicked! It will go badly for him, for the recompense of his hands will be done to 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—children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who guide you lead you astray and confuse the direction of your path.
13 Gospod vstaja, da bi se pravdal in stoji, da bi sodil ljudstvu.
Yahweh stands up for an accusation; he is standing to accuse 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.
Yahweh will come with judgment against the elders of his people and their leaders: “You have ruined the vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses.
15 ›Kaj nameravate, da lomite moje ljudstvo na koščke in meljete obraze revnih?‹ govori Gospod Bog nad vojskami.
Why do you crush my people and grind the faces of the poor?” This is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh 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,
Yahweh says that because the daughters of Zion are proud, they walk with their necks extended, with flirting eyes, walking with tiny steps as they go, making tinkling sounds from bracelets on their ankles.
17 zato bo Gospod s krasto udaril tême sionskih hčera in Gospod bo odkril njihove skrite dele.
Therefore the Lord will form scabs on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and Yahweh will make them bald.
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 the Lord will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, head bands, the crescent ornaments,
19 verižice, zapestnice, šale,
the ear pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
20 klobučke, ornamente nog, naglavne trakove, ogrlice, uhane,
the headscarves, the ankle chains, the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the lucky charms.
21 prstane, nosne dragocenosti,
He will remove the rings and the nose jewels;
22 zamenljive ogrinjalne kostime, plašče, plete, torbice,
the festive robes, the mantles, the veils, and the handbags;
23 zrcala, tanko laneno platno, kapuce in zagrinjala.
the hand mirrors, the fine linen, the head pieces, and the wraps.
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.
Instead of sweet perfume there will be stench; and instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-arranged hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a covering of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
25 Tvoji možje bodo padli pod mečem in tvoji mogočni v vojni.
Your men will fall by the sword, and your strong men will fall in war.
26 Njena velika vrata bodo žalovala in tulila in ona bo zapuščena sedela na tleh.
Jerusalem's gates will lament and mourn; and she will be alone and sit upon the ground.
