¹In zgodilo se je v dnevih Ahaza, sinu Jotama, sinu Uzija, kralja Judovega, da je šel Rezin, kralj sirski, in Pekah, sin Remalijev, kralj Izraelov, gori bojevat se zoper Jeruzalem; ali ni ga mogel vzeti.

¹It happened in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

²In sporočili so hiši Davidovi, rekoč: Sirija se zanaša na Efraima! In srce njegovo je trepetalo in srce njegovega ljudstva, kakor trepečejo drevesa v gozdu od vetra.

²It was told the house of David, saying, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.

³Tedaj veli GOSPOD Izaiju: Pojdi vendar Ahazu naproti, ti in sin tvoj Šear-jašub [T. j. ostanek se povrne.], na konec vodotoka gornjega ribnika, proti potu ob valjalčevi njivi,

³Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.

⁴in mu povej: Pazi, da bodeš miren; ne boj se in srce naj se ti ne plaši spričo teh dveh glavenj, ki se toliko kadita, spričo razvnete jeze Rezina in Sirije in Remalijevega sina.

⁴Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

⁵Ker je osnovala Sirija hudoben naklep zoper tebe, tudi Efraim in Remalijev sin, govoreč:

⁵Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,

⁶Idimo gori nad Judejo, da jo spravimo v strah ter jo siloma odpremo sebi in postavimo za kralja v njej Tabeelovega sina;

⁶“Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king in its midst, even the son of Tabeel.”

⁷zato pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Ne zgodi se in ne bode tega.

⁷This is what the Lord Yahweh says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”

⁸Kajti Siriji je glava Damask in Damasku glava Rezin; in še po petinšestdesetih letih bo zrušen Efraim, da ne bode več ljudstvo.

⁸For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people;

⁹In glava Efraimu je Samarija in Samariji glava sin Remalijev. Ako ne verjamete, zares, nimate obstanka.

⁹and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”

¹⁰In GOSPOD je še dalje govoril Ahazu, rekoč:

¹⁰Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,

¹¹Prosi si znamenja od GOSPODA, Boga svojega, prosi ga iz globočine ali z višine.

¹¹“Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.”

¹²Ahaz pa reče: Ne bom prosil, ne izkušal GOSPODA.

¹²But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, neither will I tempt Yahweh.”

¹³Nato reče prorok: Čujte torej, hiša Davidova! Je li vam kaj malega nadlegovati ljudi, da celo nadlegujete Boga mojega?

¹³He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?

¹⁴Zatorej vam da Gospod sam znamenje: Glej, devica bo spočela in rodila sina, in imenovala bo ime njegovo Imanuel [T. j. Bog z nami.].

¹⁴Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. “Immanuel” means “God with us.”

¹⁵Smetano in med bo jedel, ko bo vedel zametati hudo in voliti dobro.

¹⁵He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

¹⁶Kajti še preden bo vedel ta deček zametati hudo in voliti dobro, bo zapuščena dežela, ki te je groza dveh kraljev njenih.

¹⁶For before the child knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.

¹⁷GOSPOD stori, da pridejo nad tebe in nad ljudstvo tvoje in nad hišo očeta tvojega dnevi, kakršnih ni bilo, odkar se je Efraim ločil od Jude: pripelje nadte kralja asirskega.

¹⁷Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

¹⁸In zgodi se tisti dan, da GOSPOD požvižga muhi, ki je ob koncih potokov egiptovskih, in čebeli, ki je v deželi Asirski.

¹⁸It will happen in that day that Yahweh will whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

¹⁹In pridejo in posedejo vse, kar jih je, po dolih med strminami in po skalnih razpokah in po vsem grmovju in po vseh pašnikih.

¹⁹They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.

²⁰Tisti dan obrije Gospod z najeto britvijo, ki je onkraj velereke, namreč s kraljem asirskim, lase po glavi in po nogah, celó brado pokonča.

²⁰In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.

²¹In v tistem času bode, da bo kdo redil le kravico in dve ovci,

²¹It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep;

²²a ker bo molzel obilo mleka, bo jedel smetano; kajti smetano in med bo jedel, kdorkoli preostane v deželi.

²²and it shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left in the midst of the land.

²³Zgodi se tudi v tistem času, da bo vsak kraj, kjer je bilo tisoč vinskih trt vrednih tisoč srebrnikov, preraslo grmovje in trnje.

²³It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver shekels, shall be for briers and thorns.

²⁴S pšicami in z lokom bodo morali hoditi tja, ker bo z grmovjem in trnjem obrasla vsa dežela.Na vse gore pa, ki so jih kopali z motiko, tja ne prideš boječ se grmovja in trnja, ondi pa bode kraj, kamor bodo izpuščali vole in po katerem bo teptala drobnica.

²⁴People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.

²⁵Na vse gore pa, ki so jih kopali z motiko, tja ne prideš boječ se grmovja in trnja, ondi pa bode kraj, kamor bodo izpuščali vole in po katerem bo teptala drobnica.

²⁵All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.”
