Isaiah 29

1 Woe to Ariel. Ariel, the city where David camped. Add year to year; let the feasts come around;

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

2 then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.

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

3 And I will camp in a circle around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.

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

4 You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will 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 But the multitude of your arrogant will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in 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 She will be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a 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 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.

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 will be like when a hungry man dreams, and look, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn't satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and look, he drinks; but he awakes, and look, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.

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 Pause and wonder. Blind yourselves and be blind. They are drunk, 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 has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes (the prophets), and he has covered your heads (the seers).

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

11 All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't, 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 one who is not educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't read."

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

13 And the LORD said, "Because these people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me. And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.

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, look, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

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 those who deeply hide their counsel from the LORD, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us?" and "Who knows 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 You turn things upside down. Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, "He did not make me;" or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has 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 Isn't it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?

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

18 In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and the eyes of the blind will 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 humble also will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among humankind will 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 ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—

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

21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.

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 says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow 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 sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of 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 who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction."

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