Isaiah 29

1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city [where] David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

Gorje Ariélu, Ariélu, mestu, kjer je prebival David! Dodajte letu leto; naj ubijejo žrtve.

2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow; and it shall be to me as Ariel.

Vendar bom Ariél spravil v tegobo in tam bo potrtost in bridkost in ta mi bo kakor Ariél.

3 And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.

Utaboril se bom naokoli zoper tebe in zoper tebe bom položil obleganje z nasipom in zoper tebe bom dvignil utrdbe.

4 And thou shalt be brought down, [and] shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

Ponižan boš in govoril boš iz zemlje in tvoj govor iz prahu bo znižan in tvoj glas bo kakor od nekoga, ki ima osebnega duha iz zemlje in tvoj govor bo šepetal iz prahu.

5 Moreover, the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones [shall be] as chaff that passeth away: yes, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

Poleg tega bo množica tvojih tujcev podobna drobnemu prahu in množica strahovitežev bo kakor pleve, ki mineva. Da, to bo v trenutku, nenadoma.

6 Thou shalt be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

Od Gospoda nad bojevniki boš obiskan z gromom in s potresom in z velikim hrupom, z viharjem, neurjem in plamenom požirajočega ognja.

7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night-vision.

Množica vseh narodov, ki se bori zoper Ariél, celo vsi, ki se borijo proti njemu in njegovemu oporišču in ki ga stiskajo, bodo kakor sanje nočnega videnja.

8 It shall even be as when a hungry [man] dreameth, and behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and behold, [he is] faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

To bo torej kakor kadar lačen človek sanja in glej, on jé; toda zbuja se, njegova duša pa je prazna. Ali kakor kadar žejen človek sanja in glej pije; toda zbudi se in glej, je oslabel, njegova duša pa ima apetit. Takšna bo množica vseh narodov, ki se borijo zoper goro Sion.

9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

Ustavite se in se čudite, strmite in glejte. Pijani so, toda ne zaradi vina; omahujejo, toda ne zaradi močne pijače.

10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

Kajti Gospod je na vas izlil duha globokega spanja in zaprl vaše oči. Preroke in vaše vladarje, vidce je pokril.

11 And the vision of all is become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which [men] deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it [is] sealed:

Videnje vsega vam je postalo kakor besede knjige, ki je zapečatena, ki jo ljudje izročijo nekomu, ki je učen, rekoč: ›Beri to, prosim te.‹ Ta pa pravi: ›Ne morem, kajti zapečatena je.‹

12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

In knjiga je izročena tistemu, ki ni učen, rekoč: ›Beri to, prosim te.‹ In ta pravi: ›Nisem učen.‹

13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precept of men:

Zato je Gospod rekel: »Ker se mi to ljudstvo približuje s svojimi usti in me časti s svojimi ustnicami, toda svoje srce so odstranili daleč proč od mene in je njihov strah proti meni naučen s človeškimi predpisi,

14 Therefore behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, [even] an astonishing work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent [men] shall be hid.

zato, glej, nadaljeval bom, da storim čudovito delo med tem ljudstvom, celó čudovito delo in čudo, kajti modrost njihovih modrih mož bo izginila in razumevanje njihovih preudarnih mož bo skrito.

15 Woe to them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

Gorje tistim, ki globoko iščejo, da skrijejo svoj naklep pred Gospodom in so njihova dela v temi in govorijo: »Kdo nas vidi? In kdo nas pozna?«

16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

Zagotovo bo vaše sprevračanje stvari na glavo veljalo kakor lončarjevo ilo. Mar bo delo reklo o tistem, ki ga je naredil: »Ta me ni naredil?« Mar bo oblikovana stvar rekla o tistem, ki jo je oblikoval: »Ta nima razumevanja?«

17 [Is] it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

Mar ni le še malo in Libanon bo spremenjen v rodovitno polje in rodovitno polje bo veljalo kakor gozd?

18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

Na ta dan bodo gluhi slišali besede iz knjige in oči slepega bodo videle iz nejasnosti in iz teme.

19 The meek also shall increase [their] joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

Tudi krotki bodo povečali svojo radost v Gospodu in revni med možmi se bodo razveseljevali v Svetem Izraelovem.

20 For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scoffer is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

Kajti strahovitež je priveden v nič in posmehljivec je použit in vsi tisti, ki so pozorni na krivičnost, so iztrebljeni;

21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.

ki človeka delajo za prestopnika zaradi besede in polagajo zanko za tistega, ki graja pri velikih vratih in pravičnega odvračajo zaradi ničnosti.

22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now become pale.

Zato tako govori Gospod, ki je odkupil Abrahama, glede Jakobove hiše: »Jakob sedaj ne bo osramočen niti njegov obraz sedaj ne bo obledel.

23 But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

Temveč ko vidi svoje otroke, delo mojih rok v svoji sredi, bodo posvetili moje ime in posvetili Svetega Jakobovega in se bodo bali Izraelovega Boga.

24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

Tudi tisti, ki so se motili v duhu, bodo prišli k razumevanju in tisti, ki so godrnjali, se bodo naučili nauka.
