Isaiah 22

1 This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,

[the] oracle of [the] valley of Vision what? [is] to you then that you have gone up all of you to the roofs.

2 O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.

Noises - full O city turbulent O town jubilant slain [ones] your not [are] slain of a sword and not [are] dead of battle.

3 All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.

All rulers your they have fled together from a bow they have been captured all found [ones] your they were captured together from a distance they had fled.

4 Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

There-fore I said look away from me I will show bitterness with weeping may not you insist to comfort me on [the] devastation of [the] daughter of people my.

5 For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.

For a day of consternation and trampling and confusion [belongs] to [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts in [the] valley of vision a breaking down of a wall and a crying out to the mountain.

6 Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.

And Elam it took up a quiver with chariotry of a man horsemen and Kir it uncovered a shield.

7 Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.

And it was [the] choicest of valleys your they were full chariotry and the horsemen certainly they took a stand the gate towards.

8 He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.

And he uncovered [the] covering of Judah and you looked in the day that to [the] weaponry of [the] House of the Forest.

9 You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.

And [the] breaches of [the] city of David you saw that they were many and you gathered [the] waters of the pool lower.

10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.

And [the] houses of Jerusalem you counted and you pulled down the houses to fortify the city wall.

11 You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.

And a reservoir - you made between the two walls for [the] water of the pool old and not you looked to [the] [one who] made it and [the] [one who] planned it from distant [time] not you considered.

12 On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.

And he called [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts in the day that for weeping and for wailing and for baldness and for girding of sackcloth.

13 But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

And there! - joy and gladness they are killing - cattle and they are slaughtering sheep they are eating meat and they are drinking wine we will eat and we will drink for tomorrow we will die.

14 The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,”

And he has revealed himself in ears my Yahweh of hosts if it will be atoned for (the iniquity *LA(bh)*) this for you until you will die! he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.

15 This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts come go to the steward this to Shebna who [is] over the house.

16 What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?

What? [belongs] to you here and who? [belongs] to you here that you have dug out for yourself here a tomb digging out high place tomb his cutting in the rock a dwelling for himself.

17 Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,

There! Yahweh [is] about to hurl away you hurling O man and [is] about to grasp you completely.

18 roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.

Certainly he will wind up you a winding a ball to a land broad of both hands there you will die and there [the] chariots of splendor your [will be] [the] disgrace of [the] house of master your.

19 I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.

And I will push you from office your and from post your he will tear down you.

20 On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

And it will be in the day that and I will summon servant my Eliakim [the] son of Hilkiah.

21 I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

And I will clothe him tunic your and sash your I will make firm on him and authority your I will put in hand his and he will become a father of [the] inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem and of [the] house of Judah.

22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

And I will put [the] key of [the] house of David on shoulder his and he will open and there not [will be one who] shuts and he will shut and there not [will be one who] opens.

23 I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.

And I will drive him a tent peg in a place firm and he will become a seat of honor for [the] house of father his.

24 So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.

And they will hang on him all - [the] honor of [the] house of father his the descendants and the offshoot all [the] vessels of the small from [the] vessels of the bowls and unto all [the] vessels of the jars.

25 In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.

In the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts it will be removed the tent peg that was driven in a place firm and it will be cut down and it will fall and it will be cut off the burden which [was] on it for Yahweh he has spoken.
