Isaiah 3
1 The Commander of the armies of angels is about to take away from Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea everything that you depend on— all your food and water.
Oto bowiem Pan, PAN zastępów, odbierze Jerozolimie i Judzie podporę i laskę, wszelką podporę w chlebie i wszelką podporę w wodzie.
2 He will take away your heroes and your [other] soldiers, your judges and your prophets, people who do rituals to find out what will happen in the future and the elders,
Mocarza i męża walecznego, sędziego i proroka, mędrca i starca;
3 army officers and [other] officials, advisors and skilled craftsmen and those who perform rituals to predict the future.
Dowódcę pięćdziesiątki i dostojnika, doradcę, wybitnego rzemieślnika i krasomówcę.
4 He will appoint boys to be your leaders; your children will rule you.
Książętami ustanowię chłopców, dzieci będą panować nad nimi.
5 People will treat each other cruelly: people will fight against their neighbors. Young people will insult older people, and vulgar/dishonorable people will sneer at people who should be honored.
Ludzie będą gnębić jeden drugiego, każdy swego bliźniego. Dziecko powstanie przeciwko starcowi, a podły przeciwko dostojnikowi.
6 At that time, someone will grab one of his brothers in his father’s house and say to him, “You have a coat, [which shows that you are respected]. [So] you be our leader! You rule this [city, which is now] a pile of ruins!”
Gdy człowiek uchwyci się swego brata z domu swego ojca i [powie]: Masz ubranie, bądź naszym wodzem, niech te ruiny będą pod twoją ręką;
7 [But] his brother will reply, “[No], I cannot help you, [because] I do not have [any extra] food or clothes in this house. [So] do not appoint me to be your leader!”
Ten przysięgnie w tym dniu, mówiąc: Nie będę opatrywał [tych ran]; w moim domu bowiem nie ma chleba ani ubrania; nie czyńcie mnie wodzem ludu.
8 Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah will be destroyed, because [everything] that the people do and say there opposes Yahweh, who is powerful and glorious, and they refuse to obey him. They rebel against him.
Bo Jerozolima upada, a Juda się wali, gdyż ich język i czyny są przeciwko PANU, aby pobudzić do gniewu oczy jego majestatu.
9 They even show on their faces that [they oppose Yahweh]. They are proud of their sins, like [the people of] Sodom were [long ago]; they do not try to hide their sins. [Because of their sins], terrible things will happen to them, [but] they will bring those disasters on themselves.
Wyraz ich twarzy świadczy przeciwko nim; jak Sodoma ogłaszają swój grzech, nie kryją [go]. Biada ich duszy! Gdyż sami na siebie sprowadzają zło.
10 [Yahweh told me to] tell the righteous people that good things will happen to them; they will enjoy the blessings that they will receive for their good deeds.
Powiedzcie sprawiedliwemu, że będzie mu dobrze, bo będzie spożywać owoc swoich rąk.
11 [But] terrible things will happen to wicked people; they will be (paid back/punished) for [the evil things that] [MTY] they have done.
Biada niegodziwemu! Będzie mu źle, odpłacą [mu] bowiem według [czynów] jego rąk.
12 [Now], youths [who have become leaders] treat my people cruelly, and women rule over my people. My people, your leaders are misleading you; they are causing you to go down the wrong road [MET].
Ciemięzcami mego ludu są dzieci i kobiety nim rządzą. O ludu mój! Twoi wodzowie cię zwodzą i niszczą drogę twoich ścieżek.
13 [It is as though] Yahweh has sat in his place in a courtroom and is ready to judge his people.
PAN powstał, aby się rozprawić, stoi, aby sądzić lud.
14 He will stand up to declare why the elders and rulers of his people should be punished: [he says], “The people of Israel are [like] [MET] a vineyard that I planted, but you have ruined it! Your houses are full of things that you have stolen from poor people.
PAN stawi na sąd starszych swego ludu i ich książąt: Wy spustoszyliście [moją] winnicę, w waszych domach znajduje się łup ubogich.
15 You should stop [RHQ] crushing my people! [It is as though] you are pushing the faces of poor people into the dirt!” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
Po co miażdżycie mój lud i uciskacie oblicza ubogich? – mówi Pan BÓG zastępów.
16 Yahweh says this: “The women of Jerusalem are haughty/proud; they walk around sticking their chins out, and flirting [with men] with their eyes. They walk with tiny steps with bracelets on their ankles that jingle.
PAN powiedział: Ponieważ wynoszą się córki Syjonu i chodzą z wyciągniętą szyją, uwodzą oczami, a chodząc, drepczą i pobrzękują swoimi nogami;
17 So I, Yahweh, will cause sores to be on their heads, and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.”
Dlatego Pan ogoli wierzch głowy córek Syjonu i PAN obnaży ich nagość.
18 At the time [that Yahweh does that], he will strip away everything that the women of Jerusalem wear to make themselves beautiful—the ornaments on their ankles and their headbands, their crescent necklaces,
W tym dniu Pan odejmie ozdobne brzękadła [od ich stóp], ich czepce i księżyce;
19 their earrings and bracelets and veils,
Łańcuszki, bransolety i welony;
20 their scarves and ankle bracelets and sashes, their perfumes and (charms/little things that they wear thinking that those things will protect them from evil),
Czapeczki, ozdoby u nóg, opaski, naszyjniki i kolczyki;
21 their signet rings and nose rings,
Pierścionki i wisiorki na czołach;
22 their nice robes and capes and cloaks and purses,
Odświętne szaty, płaszcze, szale i torebki;
23 their mirrors and nice linen clothes and shawls.
Zwierciadełka, bisior, turbany i narzutki.
24 Instead of their having a nice smell from perfume, they will stink; instead of nice sashes, they will have ropes [around their waists because they will be captives]. Instead of having fancy hairdos, they will be bald. Instead of fancy/beautiful robes, they will wear rough sackcloth, and instead of being beautiful, they will be branded.
I wtedy zamiast wonności będzie smród, zamiast pasa będzie rozdarcie, zamiast upiętych włosów będzie łysina, zamiast szerokiej szaty będzie przepasanie worem i zamiast piękna będzie oparzenie.
25 Their husbands will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and their soldiers [will also die] in battles.
Twoi mężczyźni polegną od miecza i twoi mocarze – na wojnie.
26 People [PRS] will mourn and cry at the gates [of the city]. The city will [be like] [MET] a woman who sits on the ground because everything that she owned is gone.
Jej bramy zasmucą się i zapłaczą, a [ona], spustoszona, usiądzie na ziemi.
