Izaija 47
1 Pridi dol in se usedi v prah, oh devica, hči babilonska. Sedi na tla; ni prestola, oh hči Kaldejcev, kajti ne boš več imenovana nežna in prefinjena.
Descend, sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground. There is no throne for the daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called delicate and tender.
2 Vzemi mlinske kamne in melji moko. Odkrij svoja zagrinjala, razgali nogo, odkrij stegno, prebredi reke.
Take a millstone and grind meal. Uncover your shame, bare your shoulder, reveal your legs, cross the streams.
3 Tvoja nagota bo odkrita, da, tvoja sramota bo vidna. Maščeval se bom in ne bom te srečal kakor človek.
Your disgrace will be revealed, and your shame will be seen. I will seize vengeance, and no man will withstand me.
4 Glede našega odkupitelja, Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime, Sveti Izraelov.
Our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sedi tiho in pojdi v temo, oh hči Kaldejcev, kajti ne boš več imenovana: ›Gospa kraljestev.‹
Sit in silence, and enter into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no longer be called the noblewoman of kingdoms.
6 Ogorčen sem bil nad svojim ljudstvom, umazal sem svojo dediščino in jih predal v tvojo roko. Nobenega usmiljenja jim nisi pokazala, na starce si zelo težko položila svoj jarem.
I was angry with my people. I have polluted my inheritance, and I have given them into your hand. You have not shown mercy to them. You have greatly increased the burden of your yoke upon the elders.
7 In ti praviš: ›Jaz bom gospa na veke.‹ Tako, da si teh stvari nisi vzela k srcu niti se nisi spomnila zadnjega konca tega.
And you have said: “I will be a noblewoman forever.” You have not set these things upon your heart, and you have not remembered your end.
8 Zato poslušaj sedaj to, ti, ki si predana užitkom, ki brezskrbno prebivaš, ki v svojem srcu praviš: ›Jaz sem in nihče drug poleg mene; ne bom sedela kakor vdova niti ne bom poznala izgube otrok.‹
And now, hear these things, you who are delicate and have confidence, who say in your heart: “I am, and there is no one greater than me. I will not sit as a widow, and I will not know barrenness.”
9 Toda ti dve stvari bosta prišli k tebi v trenutku, v enem dnevu, izguba otrok in vdovstvo. Nadte bodo prišli v svoji popolnosti zaradi množice tvojih čarodejstev in zaradi silnega obilja tvojih izrekanj urokov.
These two things will suddenly overwhelm you in one day: barrenness and widowhood. All things shall overwhelm you, because of the multitude of your sorceries and because of the great cruelty of your enchantments.
10 Kajti zaupala si v svojo zlobnost. Rekla si: ›Nihče me ne vidi.‹ Tvoja modrost in tvoje znanje te je sprevrglo in v svojem srcu si rekla: ›Jaz sem in nihče drug poleg mene.‹
And you have trusted in your malice, and you have said: “There is no one who sees me.” Your wisdom and your knowledge, these have deceived you. And you have said in your heart: “I am, and beside me there is no other.”
11 Zato bo nadte prišlo zlo; ne boš vedela od kod vstaja in nate bo padla vragolija; ne boš je sposobna odložiti in opustošenje bo nenadoma prišlo nadte, ki ga ne boš poznala.
Evil will overwhelm you, and you will not notice its rising. And calamity will fall violently over you, and you will not be able to avert it. You will suddenly be overwhelmed by a misery such as you have never known.
12 Postavi se sedaj s svojimi izrekanji urokov in z množico svojih čarodejstev, s katerimi si se trudila od svoje mladosti, če ti bo to lahko koristilo, če boš lahko prevladala.
Stand with your incantations, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if somehow it might benefit you, or as if it were able to make you stronger.
13 Izmučena si v množici svojih nasvetov. Naj sedaj astrologi, zvezdogledi in mesečni napovedovalci vstanejo in te rešijo pred temi stvarmi, ki bodo prišle nadte.
You have failed in the multitude of your plans! Let the seers stand and save you, those who were contemplating the stars, and figuring the months, so that from these they might announce to you the things to come.
14 Glej, so kakor strnišče, ogenj jih bo sežgal, ne bodo se osvobodili iz oblasti plamena. Tam ne bo žerjavice, da bi se ob njej ogreli niti ognja, da bi pred njim sedeli.
Behold, they have become like stubble. Fire has consumed them. They will not free themselves from the power of the flames. These are not coals by which they may be warmed, nor is this a fire which they may sit beside.
15 Takšni ti bodo tisti, s katerimi si se trudila, celó tvoji trgovci od tvoje mladosti. Tavali bodo vsakdo k svoji četrti, nihče te ne bo rešil.
So have all these things, in which you have labored, become to you. Your merchants from your youth, each one has erred in his own way. There is no one who can save you.
