< Isaiah 28 >

1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine!
Gorje kroni ponosa, efrájimskim pijancem, katerih veličastna lepota je odcvetena roža, ki je na čelu obilnih dolin tistih, ki so premagani z vinom.
2 Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong. Like a storm of hail, a destroying storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast them down to the earth with his hand.
Glej, Gospod ima mogočnega in močnega, ki bo kakor neurje s točo in uničujoč vihar, kakor poplava mogočnih vodá, ki preplavljajo, z roko vrgel dol k zemlji.
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot.
Krona ponosa, efrájimski pijanci, bodo pomendrani pod stopali.
4 The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer, which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it.
Veličastna lepota, ki je na čelu obilne doline, bo veneča roža in kakor zgodnji sad pred poletjem; ko ga tisti, ki pogleda nanj, vidi, ga pojé, medtem ko je še v njegovi roki.
5 In that day, Yahweh of Armies will become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the residue of his people,
Na tisti dan bo Gospod nad bojevniki za krono slave in za diadem lepote preostanku svojega ljudstva
6 and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
in za duha sodbe tistemu, ki sedi na sodbi in za moč tistim, ki bitko odvračajo k velikim vratom.
7 They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgment.
Vendar so tudi oni zašli zaradi vina in zaradi močne pijače so omahnili iz poti; duhovnik in prerok sta zašla zaradi močne pijače, pogoltnjena sta od vina, zaradi močne pijače sta omahnila iz poti; motita se v videnju, spotikata se v sodbi.
8 For all tables are completely full of filthy vomit and filthiness.
Kajti vse mize so polne izbljuvkov in umazanosti, tako da tam ni čistega prostora.
9 Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
Koga bo učil spoznanja? In koga bo pripravil, da razume nauk? Tiste, ki so odstavljeni od mleka in odtegnjeni od prsi.
10 For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.
Kajti predpis mora biti na predpis, predpis na predpis; ukaz na ukaz, ukaz na ukaz; malo tukaj in malo tam,
11 But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language,
kajti z jecljajočimi ustnicami in drugim jezikom bo govoril temu ljudstvu.
12 to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to the weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.
Katerim je rekel: »To je počitek, s katerim lahko izmučenemu storite, da počiva in to je osvežitev.« Vendar niso hoteli poslušati.
13 Therefore Yahweh’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.
Toda Gospodova beseda jim je bila predpis na predpis, predpis na predpis; ukaz na ukaz, ukaz na ukaz; malo tukaj in malo tam; da lahko gredo, padejo vznak, se zlomijo, se ulovijo in ujamejo.
14 Therefore hear Yahweh’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:
Zato poslušajte Gospodovo besedo, vi posmehljivci, ki vladate temu ljudstvu, ki je v Jeruzalemu.
15 “Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’” (Sheol h7585)
Ker ste rekli: »Sklenili smo zavezo s smrtjo in s peklom smo v dogovoru. Ko bo šel skozi poplavljajoč bič, ta ne bo prišel k nam, kajti laži smo naredili za svoje zatočišče in pod neresnico smo se skrili.« (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.
Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: »Glej, na Sionu polagam za temelj kamen, preizkušen kamen, dragocen vogalni kamen, postavljen temelj. Kdor veruje, ne bo vznemirjeno hitel.
17 I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.
Tudi sodbo bom položil k merilu in pravičnost h grezilu in toča bo pomedla zatočišče laži in vode bodo preplavile skrivališče.
18 Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it. (Sheol h7585)
Vaša zaveza s smrtjo bo razveljavljena in vaš dogovor s peklom ne bo obstal; ko bo skozi šel preplavljajoč bič, potem boste z njim pomendrani. (Sheol h7585)
19 As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to understand the message.”
Od časa, ko gre ta naprej, vas bo zgrabil, kajti jutro za jutrom bo ta prehajal, podnevi in ponoči. To bo samo draženje, da razume poročilo.
20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.
Kajti postelja je krajša, kakor se človek lahko iztegne na njej in pokrivalo ožje, kakor se lahko zavije vanj.
21 For Yahweh will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.
Kajti Gospod se bo dvignil kakor na gori Peracím, ogorčen bo kakor v dolini Gibeón, da lahko opravi svoje delo, svoje čudno delo in privede, da se njegovo dejanje zgodi, njegovo čudno dejanje.
22 Now therefore don’t be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, on the whole earth.
Zdaj torej ne bodite zasmehovalci, da ne bi vaše vezi postale močne, kajti od Gospoda Boga nad bojevniki sem slišal uničenje, celo določeno nad celotno zemljo.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!
Pazljivo prisluhnite in poslušajte moj glas, prisluhnite in poslušajte moj govor.
24 Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?
Mar orač orje ves dan, da bi sejal? Ali odpira in brana svojo zemljo?
25 When he has leveled its surface, doesn’t he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed, and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place?
Ko je njeno površino izravnal, mar ne meče naokoli pire, raztrosi kumino in meče noter glavno pšenico in določen ječmen in piriko na njihov prostor?
26 For his God instructs him in right judgment and teaches him.
Kajti njegov Bog ga navaja k preudarnosti in ga uči.
27 For the dill isn’t threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod.
Kajti pira ni mlatena z mlatilno pripravo niti kolo voza obračano nad kumino, temveč je pira otepana s palico in kumina s šibo.
28 Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it. Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses don’t grind it.
Krušno žito je zmleto, ker ga nikoli ne bo mlatil niti lomil s kolesom svojega voza niti ga poškodoval s konjeniki.
29 This also comes out from Yahweh of Armies, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
Tudi to prihaja od Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki je čudovit v nasvetu in odličen v delu.
