Jesaja 21 | Библия, синодално издание
1Пророчество за крайморската пустиня. – Както бурите се носят в южната страна, тъй иде то от пустинята, от страшната земя.2Страшно видение ми биде показано: грабител граби, опустошител опустошава; възлизай, Еламе, обсаждай, Мидио: на всички стенания ще туря край.3От това бедрата ми треперят; мъки ме обзеха, както мъки на родилка. Развълнуван съм от това, що слушам; смутен съм от това, що виждам.4Сърцето ми трепери, тръпки ме побиват; радостната ми нощ се превърна в ужас за мене.5Готвят трапеза, разстилат покривки, – ядат, пият. „Ставайте, князе, мажете щитове!“6Защото тъй ми рече Господ: иди, тури вардач: нека той обажда, какво види.7И видя той, че идат по двама ездачи на коне, ездачи на осли, ездачи на камили; и прилежно се той вслушваше с голямо внимание, –8и завика той като лъв: господарю мой, стоях на стража цял ден, и на мястото си оставах по цели нощи;9и ето, идат люде, ездачи на коне по двама. После той извика и рече: падна, падна Вавилон, и всички идоли на боговете му лежат разбити на земята.10О, мой овършан сине на моето гумно! Каквото чух от Господа Саваота, Бога Израилев, това ви и обадих.11Пророчество за Дума. – Викат ми от Сеир: вардачо, кое време е през нощта? вардачо, кое време е?12Вардачът отговаря: наближава утро, но е още нощ. Ако настойчиво питате, обърнете се и дойдете.13Пророчество за Арабия. – В гората Арабийска нощувайте, кервани дедански.14Жители на Темайската земя, носете вода да посрещнете жадните; с хляб срещайте бежанците;15защото те бягат от мечове, от гол меч, от изопнат лък и от жестокостта на война.16Защото тъй ми каза Господ: още година, равна на наемнишка година, – и всичката слава на Кидар ще изчезне,17и у храбрите синове на Кидар ще останат немного лъкове: тъй казва Господ, Бог Израилев.
New International Reader’s Version
A prophecy against Babylon
1Here is a prophecy against Babylon that the LORD gave me. Babylon is known as the Desert by the Sea. An attack is coming through the desert. It is coming from a land of terror. It’s sweeping along like a violent storm blowing across the Negev Desert.2I have seen a vision about something terrible that will happen. People are turning against Babylon. Robbers are taking its goods. Elamites, attack the city! Medes, surround it! The LORD will put an end to all the suffering Babylon has caused.3The vision fills my body with pain. Pains take hold of me. They are like the pains of a woman having a baby. I am shaken by what I hear. I’m terrified by what I see.4My heart grows weak. Fear makes me tremble. I longed for evening to come. But it brought me horror instead of rest.5In my vision the Babylonians set the tables. They spread out the rugs. They eat and drink. Get up, you officers! Rub your shields with oil!6The Lord said to me, ‘Go. Put a guard on duty on Jerusalem’s walls. Have him report what he sees.7Tell him to watch for chariots that are pulled by teams of horses. Tell him to watch for men riding on donkeys or camels. Make sure he stays awake. Make sure he stays wide awake.’8‘My master!’ the guard shouts back. ‘Day after day I stand here on the lookout tower. Every night I stay here on duty.9Look! Here comes a man in a chariot! It’s being pulled by a team of horses. He’s calling out the news, “Babylon has fallen! It has fallen! All the statues of its gods lie broken in pieces on the ground!” ’10My people, you have been crushed like corn on a threshing-floor. But now I’m telling you the good news I’ve heard. It comes from the LORD who rules over all. He is the God of Israel.
A prophecy against Edom
11Here is a prophecy against Edom that the LORD gave me. Someone is calling out to me from the land of Seir. He says, ‘Guard, when will the night be over? Guard, how soon will it end?’12The guard answers, ‘Morning is coming, but the night will return. If you want to ask again, come back and ask.’
A prophecy against Arabia
13Here is a prophecy against Arabia that the LORD gave me. He told me to give orders to traders from Dedan. They were camping in the bushes of Arabia.14I told them to bring water for those who are thirsty. I also gave orders to those who live in Tema. I told them to bring food for those who are running away.15They are running away from where the fighting is heaviest. That’s where the swords are ready to strike. That’s where the bows are ready to shoot.16The Lord spoke to me. He said, ‘In exactly one year, Kedar’s splendour will come to an end.17Only a few of Kedar’s soldiers who shoot arrows will be left alive.’ The LORD has spoken. He is the God of Israel.
