Esias 47
1 Come down, sit on the ground, O virgin daughter of Babylon: sit on the ground, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and luxurious.
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.
2 Take a millstone, grind meal: remove thy veil, uncover thy white hairs, make bare the leg, pass through the rivers.
Vzemi mlinske kamne in melji moko. Odkrij svoja zagrinjala, razgali nogo, odkrij stegno, prebredi reke.
3 Thy shame shall be uncovered, thy reproaches shall be brought to light: I will exact of thee due vengeance, I will no longer deliver thee to men.
Tvoja nagota bo odkrita, da, tvoja sramota bo vidna. Maščeval se bom in ne bom te srečal kakor človek.
4 Thy deliverer is the Lord of hosts, the Holy One of Israel is his name.
Glede našega odkupitelja, Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime, Sveti Izraelov.
5 Sit thou down pierced with woe, go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: thou shalt no more be called the strength of a kingdom.
Sedi tiho in pojdi v temo, oh hči Kaldejcev, kajti ne boš več imenovana: ›Gospa kraljestev.‹
6 I have been provoked with my people; thou hast defiled mine inheritance: I gave them into thy hand, but thou didst not extend mercy to them: thou madest the yoke of the aged man very heavy,
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.
7 and saidst, I shall be a princess for ever: thou didst not perceive these things in thine heart, nor didst thou remember the latter end.
In ti praviš: ›Jaz bom gospa na veke.‹ Tako, da si teh stvari nisi vzela k srcu niti se nisi spomnila zadnjega konca tega.
8 But now hear these words, thou luxurious one, [who art] the one that sits [at ease], that is secure, that says in her heart, I am, and there is not another; I shall not sit a widow, neither shall I know bereavement.
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.‹
9 But now these two things shall come upon thee suddenly in one day, the loss of children and widowhood shall come suddenly upon thee, for thy sorcery, for the strength of thine enchantments,
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.
10 for thy trusting in wickedness: for thou saidst, I am, and there is not another: know thou, the understanding of these things and thy harlotry shall be thy shame; for thou saidst in thy heart, I am, and there is not another.
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.‹
11 And destruction shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not be aware; [there shall be a] pit, and thou shalt fall into it: and grief shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not be able to be clear; and destruction shall come suddenly upon thee, and thou shalt not know.
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.
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the abundance of thy sorcery, which thou hast learned from thy youth; if thou canst be profited.
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.
13 Thou art wearied in thy counsels. Let now the astrologers of the heaven stand and deliver thee, let them that see the stars tell thee what is about to come upon thee.
Izmučena si v množici svojih nasvetov. Naj sedaj astrologi, zvezdogledi in mesečni napovedovalci vstanejo in te rešijo pred temi stvarmi, ki bodo prišle nadte.
14 Behold, they all shall be burnt up as sticks in the fire; neither shall they at all deliver their life from the flame. Because thou hast coals of fire, sit thou upon them;
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.
15 these shall be thy help. Thou hast wearied thyself with traffic from thy youth: every man has wandered to his own home, but thou shalt have no deliverance.
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.
