< 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, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to 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!
That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Zato bo faraonova moč vaša sramota in zaupanje v egiptovsko senco vaša zmeda.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 Kajti njegovi princi so bili pri Coanu in njegovi predstavniki so prišli do Hanésa.
For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to 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.
They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a 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.
The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from where come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches on the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures on the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
7 Kajti Egipčani bodo pomagali v prazno in zaman, zato sem glede tega klical: ›Njihova moč mora prenehati.‹
For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
8 Torej pojdite, zapišite to pred njimi na tablo in zabeležite v knjigo, da bo lahko za čas, ki pride na veke vekov,
Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9 da je to uporno ljudstvo, lažnivi otroci, otroci, ki nočejo poslušati Gospodove postave,
That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 ki vidcem pravijo: ›Ne vidite‹ in prerokom: ›Ne prerokujte nam pravilnih stvari, govorite nam laskave stvari, prerokujte prevare.
Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Spravite se iz poti, odvrnite se iz steze, Svetemu Izraelovemu naredite, da odide izpred nas.‹«
Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Zatorej tako govori Sveti Izraelov: »Ker prezirate to besedo in zaupate v zatiranje in perverznost in ostajate na njej,
Why thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 zato vam bo ta krivičnost kakor vrzel, pripravljena, da pade, naraščajoča iz visokega obzidja, katerega zlom pride nenadoma, v trenutku.
Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at 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.
And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a shard to take fire from the hearth, or to take water with out of the pit.
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 thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 Temveč ste rekli: ›Ne, kajti bežali bomo na konjih; ‹ zatorej boste bežali. ›Jahali bomo na naglih; ‹ zato bodo tisti, ki vas preganjajo, nagli.
But you said, No; for we will flee on horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride on the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
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.«
One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you be left as a beacon on the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an 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.
And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious to you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy on you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that 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.
For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shall weep no more: he will be very gracious to you at the voice of your cry; when he shall hear it, 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
And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers:
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 your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
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.«
You shall defile also the covering of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold: you shall cast them away as a menstruous cloth; you shall say to it, Get you hence.
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 shall he give the rain of your seed, that you shall sow the ground with; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall your cattle feed in large 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 likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
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 there shall be on every high mountain, and on every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the 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.
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the breach of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
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 far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring 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.
And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the middle of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
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 shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One 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 shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 Kajti preko Gospodovega glasu bo Asirec, ki je udaril s palico, potolčen.
For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
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 in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay on him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
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 Tophet is ordained of old; yes, for the king it is prepared; he has made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it.
