< Isaiah 7 >

1 In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
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.
2 David’s house was told, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
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.
3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.
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
4 Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Do not be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
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.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
Ker so Sirija, Efrájim in Remaljájev sin sprejeli hudoben nasvet zoper tebe, rekoč:
6 “Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”
›Pojdimo gor zoper Juda in ga razjezimo in si v njem naredimo vrzel zase in v njegovi sredi postavimo kralja, celó Tabeálovega sina, ‹
7 This is what the Lord GOD says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
tako govori Gospod Bog: ›To ne bo obstalo niti se to ne bo zgodilo.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people.
Kajti glava Sirije je Damask in glava Damaska je Recín. V petinšestdesetih letih bo Efrájim zlomljen, da ne bo ljudstvo.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”
Glava Efrájima je Samarija in glava Samarije je Remaljájev sin. Če ne boste verjeli, zagotovo ne boste utrjeni.‹«
10 The LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Poleg tega je Gospod ponovno spregovoril Aházu, rekoč:
11 "Ask a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in Sheol (Sheol h7585), or in the height above."
»Izprosi si znamenje od Gospoda, svojega Boga, prosi ga ali v globini ali na višini zgoraj.« (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask. I will not tempt the LORD.”
Toda Aház je rekel: »Ne bom prosil niti ne bom skušal Gospoda.«
13 He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?
In ta je rekel: »Poslušajte sedaj, oh Davidova hiša: › Ali je za vas malenkost, da izmučite ljudi, toda ali hočete izmučiti tudi mojega Boga?‹
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Zato vam bo sam Gospod dal znamenje: ›Glejte, devica bo spočela, rodila sina in njegovo ime bo klicala Emanuel.
15 He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
Maslo in med bo jedel, da bo znal odkloniti zlo in izbrati dobro.
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
Kajti preden bo otrok znal odkloniti zlo in izbrati dobro, bo dežela, ki jo preziraš, postala zapuščena od obeh njunih kraljev.‹
17 The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.
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.«
18 It will happen in that day that the LORD will whistle 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.
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.
19 They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.
Prišle bodo in vse izmed njih bodo počivale po zapuščenih dolinah, v skalnih jamah, na vsem trnju in po vsem grmovju.
20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
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.
21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo človek redil mlado kravo in dve ovci
22 It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land.
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.
23 It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, will be for briers and thorns.
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.
24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
S puščicami in loki bodo tja prišli možje, ker bo vsa dežela postala osat in trnje.
25 All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending out of oxen, and for sheep to tread on.”
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.
