Izaija 30
1 »Gorje upornim otrokom, « govori Gospod, »ki jemljejo nasvet, toda ne od mene in ki se pokrivajo s pokrivalom, toda ne od mojega duha, da lahko grehu dodajo greh,
“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.
2 ki hodijo, da bi šli dol v Egipt, pa niso vprašali pri mojih ustih, da se ojačajo v faraonovi moči in da zaupajo v egiptovsko senco!
They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.
3 Zato bo faraonova moč vaša sramota in zaupanje v egiptovsko senco vaša zmeda.
But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.
4 Kajti njegovi princi so bili pri Coanu in njegovi predstavniki so prišli do Hanésa.
For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
5 Vsi so bili osramočeni od ljudstva, ki jim ni moglo koristiti niti jim biti v pomoč niti dobiček, temveč sramota in tudi graja.
everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.”
6 Breme živali juga. V deželo stiske in tesnobe, od koder je prišel mlad in star lev, gad in strupena leteča kača, bodo svoja bogastva odnesli na ramenih mladih oslov in svoje zaklade na kameljih grbah k ljudstvu, ki jim ne bo koristilo.
This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.
7 Kajti Egipčani bodo pomagali v prazno in zaman, zato sem glede tega klical: ›Njihova moč mora prenehati.‹
Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
8 Torej pojdite, zapišite to pred njimi na tablo in zabeležite v knjigo, da bo lahko za čas, ki pride na veke vekov,
Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.
9 da je to uporno ljudstvo, lažnivi otroci, otroci, ki nočejo poslušati Gospodove postave,
These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.
10 ki vidcem pravijo: ›Ne vidite‹ in prerokom: ›Ne prerokujte nam pravilnih stvari, govorite nam laskave stvari, prerokujte prevare.
They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
11 Spravite se iz poti, odvrnite se iz steze, Svetemu Izraelovemu naredite, da odide izpred nas.‹«
Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”
12 Zatorej tako govori Sveti Izraelov: »Ker prezirate to besedo in zaupate v zatiranje in perverznost in ostajate na njej,
Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,
13 zato vam bo ta krivičnost kakor vrzel, pripravljena, da pade, naraščajoča iz visokega obzidja, katerega zlom pride nenadoma, v trenutku.
this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!
14 Zlomil ga bo kakor lomljenje lončarjeve posode, ki je zdrobljena na koščke. Ne bo prizanesel, tako da tam, v lomljenju le-tega, ne bo najti črepinje, da bi vzel ogenj iz ognjišča ali da bi s tem zajel vodo iz vrča.
It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”
15 Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog, Sveti Izraelov: »›V vračanju in počivanju boste rešeni; v spokojnosti in zaupanju bo vaša moč, ‹ pa niste hoteli.
For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence— but you were not willing.”
16 Temveč ste rekli: ›Ne, kajti bežali bomo na konjih; ‹ zatorej boste bežali. ›Jahali bomo na naglih; ‹ zato bodo tisti, ki vas preganjajo, nagli.
“No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.
17 Tisoč jih bo bežalo ob graji enega; ob graji petih boste bežali, dokler ne boste ostali kakor drog na vrhu gore in kakor zastava na hribu.«
A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.
18 Zato bo Gospod čakal, da vam bo lahko milostljiv in zato bo povzdignjen, da bo lahko imel usmiljenje do vas, kajti Gospod je Bog sodbe. Blagoslovljeni so vsi tisti, ki čakajo nanj.
Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
19 Kajti ljudstvo bo prebivalo na Sionu, pri Jeruzalemu. Ne boš več jokal. Zelo ti bo milostljiv ob glasu tvojega klica; ko ga bo zaslišal, ti bo odgovoril.
O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you.
20 Čeprav ti Gospod daje kruh nadloge in vodo stiske, vendar tvoji učitelji ne bodo več odstranjeni v kot, temveč bodo tvoje oči videle tvoje učitelje
The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.
21 in tvoja ušesa bodo slišala za teboj besedo, rekoč: »To je pot, po njej hodite, « ko se obrnete k desnici in ko se obrnete k levici.
And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”
22 Omadeževali boste tudi pokrivalo svojih rezanih podob iz srebra in ornament svojih ulitih podob iz zlata. Vrgel jih boš proč kakor menstrualno krpo; temu boš rekel: »Pojdi ven.«
So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”
23 Potem bo dal dež tvojemu semenu, da boš z njim posejal tla in kruh od donosa zemlje in to bo debelo in obilno. Na ta dan se bo tvoja živina pasla na velikih pašnikih.
Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.
24 Prav tako bodo voli in mladi osli, ki obdelujejo zemljišče, jedli čisto krmo, ki je bila prevejana z lopato in z vejálnikom.
The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.
25 Tam bodo na vsaki visoki gori in na vsakem visokem hribu reke in potoki vodá, na dan velikega pokola, ko bodo padli stolpi.
And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 Poleg tega bo svetloba lune kakor svetloba sonca in svetloba sonca bo sedemkratna, kakor svetloba sedmih dni, na dan, ko Gospod obveže vrzel svojega ljudstva in ozdravi udarec njihove rane.
The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.
27 Glej, ime Gospoda prihaja od daleč, goreč z njegovo jezo in njegovo breme je težko. Njegove ustnice so polne ogorčenja in njegov jezik kakor požirajoč ogenj.
Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.
28 Njegov dih bo kakor preplavljajoč vodotok segel do sredine vratu, da narode preseje s sitom ničnosti in tam bo brzda v čeljustih ljudstva, ki jim bo povzročala, da se opotekajo.
His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.
29 Imeli boste pesem, kakor v noči, ko se praznuje sveta slovesnost; in veselje srca, kakor ko gre nekdo s piščaljo, da pride na Gospodovo goro, k Mogočnemu Izraelovemu.
You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
30 Gospod bo svojemu veličastnemu glasu povzročil, da bo slišan in pokazal bo spuščanje svojega lakta, z ogorčenjem svoje jeze in s plamenom požirajočega ognja, z razprševanjem, neurjem in zrni toče.
And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.
31 Kajti preko Gospodovega glasu bo Asirec, ki je udaril s palico, potolčen.
For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter.
32 Na vsakem kraju, kjer bo prešla osnovana palica, ki jo bo Gospod položil nanj, bo to z bobniči in harfami, in v bitkah vihtenja se bo boril z njo.
And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.
33 Kajti Tofet je odrejen od davnine; da, za kralja je pripravljen; naredil ga je globokega in velikega. Njegova grmada je ogenj in veliko lesa. Gospodov dih ga vname kakor tok žvepla.
For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.
