Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city, and it will be like a heap of stones in ruin.
Breme Damaska: »Glej, Damask je odvzet od tega, da je mesto in bo kup razvalin.
2 The cities in ruin will be left for the flocks, and they will take rest there, and there will be no one who may terrify them.
Mesta Aroêrja so zapuščena. Ta bodo za trope, ki bodo legli in nihče jih ne bo strašil.
3 And assistance will cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom will cease from Damascus. And the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the sons of Israel, says the Lord of hosts.
Trdnjava bo prav tako prenehala od Efrájima in kraljestvo od Damaska in preostanek iz Sirije. Oni bodo kakor slava Izraelovih otrok, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
4 And this shall be in that day: the glory of Jacob will be thinned, and the fatness of his flesh will be reduced.
»Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da se bo Jakobova slava stanjšala in mastnost njegovega mesa bo shujšala.
5 And it shall be like the gathering of the harvest which remains, and his arm will pick the ears of grain. And it shall be like a search for grain in the valley of Rephaim.
To bo kakor ko žanjec zbira žito in s svojim laktom žanje klasje, in to bo kakor tisti, ki zbira klasje v dolini Rafájim.
6 And what is left behind in it will be like one cluster of grapes, or like a shaken olive tree with two or three olives at the top of a branch, or like four or five olives at the top of a tree, says the Lord God of Israel.
Vendar bodo v njem ostali paberkovalni grozdi, kakor tresenje oljke, dve ali tri jagode na vrhu najvišje veje, štiri ali pet na njenih zunanjih rodovitnih mladikah, « govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog.
7 In that day, a man will bow before his Maker, and his eyes will consider the Holy One of Israel.
Na tisti dan bo človek gledal k svojemu Stvarniku in njegove oči bodo imele spoštovanje do Svetega Izraelovega.
8 And he will not bow before the altars that his hands have made. And he will not consider the things that his fingers have made, the sacred groves and the shrines.
Ne bo gledal k oltarjem, delu svojih rok niti ne bo spoštoval tega, kar so naredili njegovi prsti ali ašer ali podob.
9 In that day, his strong cities will be abandoned, like the plows and the grain fields which were left behind before the face of the sons of Israel, and you shall be deserted.
Na tisti dan bodo njegova utrjena mesta kakor zapuščena veja in najvišja mladika, ki so jo pustili zaradi Izraelovih otrok in tam bo opustošenje.
10 For you have forgotten God your Savior, and you have not remembered your strong Helper. Because of this, you will plant trustworthy plants, but you will sow a foreign seed.
Ker si pozabil Boga rešitve svoje duše in se nisi spominjal skale svoje moči, zato boš sadil prijetne rastline in jih cepil s tujimi cepljenci.
11 In the day of your planting, the wild grapevine and your morning seed will flourish. The harvest has been taken away to the day of inheritance, and you will grieve heavily.
Podnevi boš svoji rastlini naredil, da zraste in zjutraj boš svojemu semenu naredil, da cveti, toda žetev bo kup na dan žalosti in obupne bridkosti.
12 Woe to the multitude of many peoples, like the multitude of the roaring sea! Woe to the tumult of crowds, like the noise of many waters!
Gorje množici številnih ljudi, ki zganjajo hrup, podoben hrupu morij in vrvežu narodov, ki delajo vrvež, podoben vrvežu mogočnih vodá!
13 The peoples will make a noise, like the noise of waters overflowing, but he will rebuke him, and so he will flee far away. And he will be quickly taken away, like the dust of the mountains before the face of the wind, and like a whirlwind before a tempest.
Narodi bodo hiteli kakor besnenje mnogih vodá, toda Bog jih bo ukoril in pobegnili bodo daleč proč in pregnani bodo kakor pleve gora pred vetrom in kakor kotaleča se stvar pred vrtinčastim vetrom.
14 In the time of the evening, behold: there will be a disturbance. When it is early morning, he will not remain. This is the portion of those who have devastated us, and this is the lot of those who have plundered us.
Glej, ob večernem času stiska in pred jutrom ga ni. To je delež tistih, ki nas plenijo in žreb tistih, ki nas ropajo.
