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’].”
RAB bana şöyle dedi: “Büyük bir levha alıp okunaklı harflerle üzerine, ‘Maher-Şalal-Haş-Baz’ yaz.
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.
Kâhin Uriya ile Yeverekya oğlu Zekeriya'yı kendime güvenilir tanık seçiyorum.”
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’),
Peygamber olan karım bundan bir süre sonra gebe kaldı ve bir erkek çocuk doğurdu. RAB bana, “Adını ‘Maher-Şalal-Haş-Baz’ koy” dedi,
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.”
“Çocuk daha ‘Anne, baba’ demesini öğrenmeden, Şam'ın serveti ve Samiriye'nin ganimeti Asur Kralı'na götürülecek.”
5 Yahweh spoke to me again and said, “[Tell the people of Judah, ]
RAB bana yine seslenip dedi ki,
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.
“Bu halk usul usul akan Şiloah sularını reddettiği, Resin'le Remalya'nın oğluyla mutlu olduğu için,
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.
ben Rab, Fırat'ın kabaran güçlü sularını –bütün dehşetiyle Asur Kralı'nı– üzerlerine salacağım. Yatağından taşan ırmak, kıyılarını su altında bırakacak.
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!’”
Yahuda'yı kaplayan sular her şeyi silip süpürerek adam boyu yükselecek, ülkeni boydan boya dolduracak, ey İmmanuel!”
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!
Ey halklar, yıkıma, bozguna uğrayacaksınız. Yeryüzünün en uç köşeleri, kulak verin. Savaşmaya, bozguna uğramaya hazırlanın. Evet, savaşa ve bozguna hazır olun.
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!
İstediğinizi tasarlayın, hepsi boşa gidecek. İstediğiniz kadar konuşun, hiçbiri gerçekleşmeyecek. Çünkü Tanrı bizimledir.
11 Yahweh strongly warned me [MTY] not to act like the [other] people in Judah did. He said to me,
RAB beni halkın tuttuğu yoldan gitmeme konusunda şiddetle uyararak şöyle dedi:
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.
“Onların entrika dediği her şeye Siz entrika demeyin; Onların korktuğundan korkmayın, yılmayın.
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.
“Her Şeye Egemen RAB'bi kutsal sayın. Korkunuz, yılgınız O'ndan olsun.
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].
Tapınak O olacak. İsrail'in iki krallığı içinse Sürçme taşı ve tökezleme kayası, Yeruşalim'de yaşayanlar için Kapan ve tuzak olacak.
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].”
Birçokları sendeleyip düşecek, parçalanacak, Tuzağa düşüp ele geçecek.”
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.
Ya RAB, öğrencilerim arasında bildirimi koru, Öğretimi mühürle!
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.
Kendini Yakup'un soyundan gizleyen RAB'bi özlemle bekliyorum, umudum O'nda.
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].
Ben ve RAB'bin bana verdiği çocuklar, Siyon Dağı'nda oturan Her Şeye Egemen RAB'bin İsrail'deki belirtileri ve işaretleriyiz.
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]!
Birileri size, “Fısıldaşıp mırıldanan medyumlarla ruh çağıranlara danışın” dediğinde, “Halk kendi Tanrısı'na danışmaz mı; yaşayanlar için ölülere mi danışılır?” deyin.
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.
Tanrı'nın öğretisine ve bildirisine dönmek gerek! Böyle düşünmezlerse, onlar için hiç şafak sökmeyecek.
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.
Aç ve çaresiz, ülkede dolanıp duracaklar. Aç kalınca öfkelenip krallarına, Tanrıları'na lanet edecekler. Yukarıya da
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)
dünyaya da baksalar sıkıntıdan, karanlıktan, korkunç karanlıktan başka bir şey görmeyecekler. Kovulacakları yer koyu karanlıktır.
