Izaija 7

1 Pripetilo se je v dneh Aháza, Jotámovega sina, Uzíjahovega sina, Judovega kralja, da sta Recín, sirski kralj in Pékah, Remaljájev sin, Izraelov kralj, odšla gor proti Jeruzalemu, da se bojujeta zoper njega, toda nista mogla prevladati zoper njega.

AND it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

2 Davidovi hiši je bilo povedano, rekoč: »Sirija je združena z Efrájimom.« Njegovo srce je vztrepetalo in srce njegovega ljudstva, kakor gozdna drevesa trepetajo v vetru.

And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.

3 Potem je Gospod rekel Izaiju: »Pojdi sedaj naprej, da srečaš Aháza, ti in tvoj sin Šeár Jašúb, pri koncu kanala zgornjega ribnika, na glavni cesti pralčevega polja

Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;

4 in mu reci: ›Pazi se in bodi tiho. Ne boj se niti naj ti srce ne peša zaradi dveh repov teh kadečih kosov tlečega lesa, zaradi krute Recínove jeze s Sirijo in [zaradi] Remaljájevega sina.

And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

5 Ker so Sirija, Efrájim in Remaljájev sin sprejeli hudoben nasvet zoper tebe, rekoč:

Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,

6 ›Pojdimo gor zoper Juda in ga razjezimo in si v njem naredimo vrzel zase in v njegovi sredi postavimo kralja, celó Tabeálovega sina, ‹

Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:

7 tako govori Gospod Bog: ›To ne bo obstalo niti se to ne bo zgodilo.

Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

8 Kajti glava Sirije je Damask in glava Damaska je Recín. V petinšestdesetih letih bo Efrájim zlomljen, da ne bo ljudstvo.

For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.

9 Glava Efrájima je Samarija in glava Samarije je Remaljájev sin. Če ne boste verjeli, zagotovo ne boste utrjeni.‹«

And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.

10 Poleg tega je Gospod ponovno spregovoril Aházu, rekoč:

Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

11 »Izprosi si znamenje od Gospoda, svojega Boga, prosi ga ali v globini ali na višini zgoraj.« (Sheol h7585)

Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)

12 Toda Aház je rekel: »Ne bom prosil niti ne bom skušal Gospoda.«

But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.

13 In ta je rekel: »Poslušajte sedaj, oh Davidova hiša: › Ali je za vas malenkost, da izmučite ljudi, toda ali hočete izmučiti tudi mojega Boga?‹

And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?

14 Zato vam bo sam Gospod dal znamenje: ›Glejte, devica bo spočela, rodila sina in njegovo ime bo klicala Emanuel.

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

15 Maslo in med bo jedel, da bo znal odkloniti zlo in izbrati dobro.

Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

16 Kajti preden bo otrok znal odkloniti zlo in izbrati dobro, bo dežela, ki jo preziraš, postala zapuščena od obeh njunih kraljev.‹

For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.

17 Gospod bo nadte in nad tvoje ljudstvo in nad hišo tvojega očeta privedel dneve, ki niso prišli od dni, ko je Efrájim odšel od Juda, celó asirskega kralja.«

The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

18 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo Gospod požvižgal muhi, ki je na najbolj oddaljenem delu egiptovskih rek in čebeli, ki je v asirski deželi.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

19 Prišle bodo in vse izmed njih bodo počivale po zapuščenih dolinah, v skalnih jamah, na vsem trnju in po vsem grmovju.

And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.

20 Na isti dan bo Gospod obril z britvico, ki je najeta, namreč, s tistimi preko reke, z asirskim kraljem, glavo in dlake stopal in ta bo použila tudi brado.

In the same day shall the Lord shave with a rasor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.

21 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo človek redil mlado kravo in dve ovci

And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

22 in zgodilo se bo zaradi oblice mleka, ki ga bodo dajale, da bo jedel maslo. Kajti maslo in med bo jedel vsakdo, ki je ostal v deželi.

And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.

23 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo vsak kraj, kjer je bilo tisoč trt kakor tisoč malih srebrnih kovancev, ta celó za osat in trnje.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.

24 S puščicami in loki bodo tja prišli možje, ker bo vsa dežela postala osat in trnje.

With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

25 Po vseh hribih, ki bodo okopani z motiko, nanje ne bo prišel strah pred osatom in trnjem, temveč bo to za odpošiljanje volov in za teptanje manjše živine.

And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
