Isaiah 8
1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Make a large signboard. And write clearly on it, ‘Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz’ [which means ‘quickly (plunder/take by force) and steal everything’].”
И Господ ми рече: Вземи си една голяма писателска дъска та пиши на нея с обикновени букви - За Махер-шалал-хаш-база;
2 [So] I requested Uriah the [Supreme] Priest and Jeberekiah’s son Zechariah, men who were both honest/trustworthy witnesses, to watch me as I was doing that.
и аз си избрах за верни свидетели свещеника Урия и Захария Еверехиевия син.
3 Then I had sex with [EUP] [my wife, who was] a prophetess, and she became pregnant and [then] gave birth to a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (which means ‘suddenly attacked, quickly conquered’),
Прочее, отидох при пророчицата; и тя зачна и роди син. И Господ ми рече: Наречи го Махер-шалал-хаш-баз;
4 because before he is old enough to say ‘papa’ or ‘mama’, the King of Assyria will [come with his army and] quickly take away all the valuable things in Damascus and in Samaria.”
Защото преди да се научи детето да вика - Татко мой! и - Майко моя! богатството на Дамаск и користите на Самария ще се занесат пред асирийския цар.
5 Yahweh spoke to me again and said, “[Tell the people of Judah, ]
И Господ ми говори пак, казвайки:
6 ‘[I have taken good care of] you people, but you have rejected that, [thinking that] my help was very little, like [MET] the little canal through which water flows from the Gihon Spring into Jerusalem. Instead, you have been happy [to request help from] King Rezin and King Pekah.
Понеже тия люде се отказаха от тихо течащите силоамски води, И се радват за Расина и за Ромелиевия син,
7 Therefore, I will cause the people of Judah to be attacked by [the powerful army of] the King of Assyria, which will be [like] a great flood from the [Euphrates] River. Their soldiers will [be everywhere in your country, like] a river that overflows all its banks.
Затова, ето, Господ възвежда върху тях Силните и големи води на Ефрат, Асирийския цар и всичката му слава; И като прелее всичките си канали И наводни всичките си брегове,
8 Those soldiers will go all over Judah— [like a river whose water] [MET] rises as high as a person’s neck. Their army will spread over the land [quickly], like an eagle, and they will cover your entire land! But I will be with you!’”
Ще нахлуе и през Юда, ще наводни и ще прелее, ще стигне до гуша, И прострените му крила ще напълнят Ширината на земята ти, Емануиле.
9 Listen, all you [people in] distant countries! [You can] prepare to attack Judah. [You can] prepare [for battle, and shout your] war-cries, but your [armies will] be crushed/shattered!
Строшете се, народи, бъдете разломени, И (чуйте всички, които сте в далечни страни!) Опашете се; но ще бъдете разломени; Опашете се; но ще бъдете разломени.
10 [You can] prepare for what you will do [to attack Judah], but what you plan to do will not happen! You will not succeed, because God is with us!
Съветвайте помежду си, но съветването ще се осуети; Говорете дума, но тя няма да стои; Защото Бог е с нас.
11 Yahweh strongly warned me [MTY] not to act like the [other] people in Judah did. He said to me,
Защото така ми говори Господ със силна ръка, И научи ме да не ходя в пътя на тия люде, като каза:
12 “Do not say that everything that people do is conspiring/rebelling [against the government], like [other] people say, and do not (be afraid of/worry about) the things that other people are afraid of.
Да не наречете съюз всичко което тия люде наричат съюз, И да не се боите от това, от което те се боят, Нито да се плашите.
13 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, am the one you should consider to be holy. And I am the one you should fear, the one you should revere.
Господа на Силите - Него осветете, От Него да се страхувате, и пред Него да треперите.
14 I will protect you(sg). [But as for] the [other] people [MTY] in Israel and Judah, I will be [like] [MET] a stone that causes people to stumble, a rock that causes them to fall down. [And as for] the people of Jerusalem, I will be [like] [MET] a trap or a snare [DOU].
И Той ще бъде за светилище, - Но и за камък, о който да се спъват, и за канара, поради която да се оскърбяват Двата Израилеви дома, - За мрежа и за примка на ерусалимските жители.
15 Many [people] will stumble and fall down and never get up again. They will experience great troubles; they will be captured [by their enemies].”
И о Него мнозина ще се спънат, ще паднат и ще се съкрушат, И в нея ще се впримчат и ще се уловят.
16 [So, I say to you who are my disciples], seal up this scroll on which I have written the messages that God has given to me, and give his instructions to [others] who have accompanied me.
Завържи увещанието, Запечатай поуката между учениците Ми.
17 I will wait to see what Yahweh [will do]. He has rejected the descendants [MTY] of Jacob, but I will confidently expect him to help me.
И аз ще чакам Господа, който крие лицето Си от Якововия дом, И на Него ще се надея.
18 I and the children that Yahweh has given to me are [like] signs to warn [the people of] Israel; we are warnings from the Commander of the armies of angels the one who lives [in his temple] on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem].
Ето, аз и децата, които ми е дал Господ, Сме за знамение и за предвещания в Израиля От Господа на Силите, Който обитава на хълма Сион.
19 Some people may urge you(pl) to (consult/go and talk with) those who talk with the spirits of dead people or with those who say that they receive messages from those spirits. They whisper and mutter [about what we should do in the future]. But God is [RHQ] the one whom we should ask to guide us! It is ridiculous [RHQ] for people who are alive to request spirits of dead people to tell us [what we should do]!
И когато ви рекат: Допитвайте се до запитвачите на зли духове, И до врачовете, които шепнат и мърморят, отговорете: Не трябва ли един народ да се допита до своя Бог? Ще прибегне ли при мъртвите заради живите?
20 Pay attention to God’s instructions and teaching! If people do not say things that agree with what God teaches us, [what they say is worthless]. [It is as though] those people are in darkness.
Нека прибегнат при закона и при свидетелството! Ако не говорят според това слово, Наистина няма зазоряване за тях.
21 They will wander through the land, worried/discouraged and hungry. And when they become [very] hungry, they will become very angry. They will look up [toward heaven] and curse God and [will also] curse their king.
И ще минат през тая земя зле притискани и изгладнели; И когато огладнеят ще негодуват, Ще злословят царя си и Бога си. И ще погледнат нагоре.
22 They will look around the land and see only trouble/distress and darkness and things that cause them to despair. And [then] they will be thrown into the very black darkness [of hell]. (questioned)
После ще се върнат в земята, И ето скръб и тъмнина, мрак на измъчване, И широко разпространена черна нощ.
