< Izaija 8 >

1 Poleg tega mi je Gospod rekel: »Vzemi si velik zvitek in vanj zapiši s človeškim pisalom glede Mahér Šalál Haš Baza.«
Moreover, the Lord sayd vnto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a mans penne, Make speede to the spoyle: haste to the praye.
2 K sebi sem vzel zvesti priči, da zabeležita: duhovnika Urijá in Jeberehjájevega sina Zeharjá.
Then I tooke vnto me faithfull witnesses to recorde, Vriah the Priest, and Zechariah the sonne of Ieberechiah.
3 Odšel sem k prerokinji in spočela je ter rodila sina. Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Njegovo ime kliči Mahér Šalál Haš Baz.
After, I came vnto the Prophetesse, which conceiued, and bare a sonne. Then sayd the Lord to me, Call his name, Mahershalalhash-baz.
4 Kajti preden bo imel otrok spoznanje, da kliče: ›Moj oče in moja mati, ‹ bodo bogastva Damaska in plen Samarije odvzeti pred asirskim kraljem.«
For before the childe shall haue knowledge to crye, My father, and my mother, he shall take away the riches of Damascus and the spoyle of Samaria, before the King of Asshur.
5 Gospod mi je prav tako ponovno spregovoril, rekoč:
And the Lord spake yet againe vnto me, saying,
6 »Ker kakor to ljudstvo odklanja síloaške vode, ki mirno tečejo in se veselijo v Recínu in Remaljájevemu sinu,
Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that runne softly, and reioyce with Rezin, and the sonne of Remaliah,
7 zdaj torej, glej, Gospod prinaša nadnje vode iz reke, močne in številne, celó asirskega kralja in vso njegovo slavo in prestopil bo vse njegove kanale in prestopil vse njegove bregove
Nowe therefore, beholde, the Lord bringeth vp vpon them the waters of the Riuer mightie and great, euen the King of Asshur with all his glory, and he shall come vp vpon all their riuers, and goe ouer all their banks,
8 in šel bo skozi Juda, preplavil bo in šel preko, segel bo celó do vratu in razprostirajoč svoje peruti bo napolnil širino tvoje dežele, oh Emanuel.«
And shall breake into Iudah, and shall ouerflowe and passe through, and shall come vp to the necke, and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanu-el.
9 Povežite se med seboj, oh ve ljudstva in razbiti boste na koščke in pazljivo prisluhnite, vsi vi iz daljnih dežel, opašite se in zlomljeni boste na koščke, opašite se in zlomljeni boste na koščke.
Gather together on heapes, O ye people, and ye shalbe broken in pieces, and hearken all ye of farre countreys: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces.
10 Skupaj se posvetujte in to se bo izjalovilo, govorite besedo, pa ta ne bo obstala, kajti Bog je z nami.
Take counsell together, yet it shall be brought to nought: pronounce a decree, yet shall it not stand: for God is with vs.
11 Kajti Gospod mi je tako govoril z močno roko in me učil, da naj ne hodim po poti tega ljudstva, rekoč:
For the Lord spake thus to me in taking of mine hand, and taught me, that I should not walke in the way of this people, saying,
12 »Ne reci: ›Zarota, ‹ vsem tistim, ki jim bo to ljudstvo reklo: ›Zarota, ‹ niti se ne bojte njihovega strahu niti ne bodi prestrašeni.
Say ye not, A confederacie to all them, to whome this people sayth a confederacie, neither feare you their feare, nor be afrayd of them.
13 Posvečujte Gospoda nad bojevniki samega in naj bo on vaš strah in naj bo on vaša groza.
Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,
14 On vam bo svetišče, toda za kamen spotike in za skalo pohujšanja obema Izraelovima hišama, za past in za zanko prebivalcem Jeruzalema.
And he shalbe as a Sanctuarie: but as a stumbling stone, and as a rocke to fall vpon, to both the houses of Israel, and as a snare and as a net to the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
15 Številni izmed njih se bodo spotaknili, padli, zlomljeni bodo, ujeti v zanko in zajeti.
And many among them shall stumble, and shall fall and shalbe broken and shalbe snared and shalbe taken.
16 Poveži pričevanje, zapečati postavo med mojimi učenci.
Binde vp the testimonie: seale vp the Law among my disciples.
17 Čakal bom na Gospoda, ki svoj obraz skriva pred Jakobovo hišo in iskal ga bom.
Therefore I will waite vpon the Lord that hath hid his face from the house of Iaakob, and I wil looke for him.
18 Glejte, jaz in otroci, ki mi jih je dal Gospod, smo za znamenja in za čudeže v Izraelu od Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki prebiva na gori Sion.
Beholde, I and the children whome the Lord hath giuen me, are as signes and as wonders in Israel, by the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 Ko ti bodo rekli: »Obrni se k tem, ki imajo osebne duhove in k čarovnikom, ki čivkajo in ki mrmrajo. Mar naj ne bi ljudstvo iskalo svojega Boga? Za žive k mrtvim?«
And when they shall say vnto you, Enquire at them that haue a spirit of diuination, and at the soothsayers, which whisper and murmure, Should not a people enquire at their God? from the liuing to the dead?
20 K postavi in k pričevanju. Če ne govorijo glede na to besedo, je to zato, ker v njih ni svetlobe.
To the Law, and to the testimonie, if they speake not according to this worde: it is because there is no light in them.
21 Šli bodo skozi to, silno ogorčeni in lačni. In zgodilo se bo, da ko bodo lačni, da se bodo v jezi razburili in preklinjali svojega kralja, svojega Boga in gledali navzgor.
Then he that is afflicted and famished, shall go to and from in it: and when he shalbe hungry, he shall euen freat himselfe, and curse his King and his gods, and shall looke vpward.
22 Pogledali bodo na zemljo in glej stiska in tema, temačnost tesnobe in gnani bodo v temo.
And when he shall looke to the earth, beholde trouble, and darkenes, vexation and anguish, and he is driuen to darkenes.
