< Isaiah 65 >

1 I have been ready to give an answer to those who did not make prayer to me; I have been offering myself to those who were not searching for me; I said, Here am I, here am I, to a nation which gave no respect to my name.
I let myself be consulted by [those who] not they had asked I let myself be found by [those who] not they had sought me I said here [am] I here [am] I to a nation [which] not it had been called by name my.
2 All day my hands have been stretched out to an uncontrolled people, who go in an evil way, after the purposes of their hearts;
I spread out hands my all the day to a people rebellious who walk the way not good after own thoughts their.
3 A people who make me angry every day, making offerings in gardens, and burning perfumes on bricks.
The people who provoke to anger me on face my continually [who] sacrifice in gardens and [who] make smoke on the bricks.
4 Who are seated in the resting-places of the dead, and by night are in the secret places; who take pig's flesh for food, and have the liquid of disgusting things in their vessels.
Who sit among the graves and in secret places they spend [the] night who eat [the] flesh of the pig (and broth of *Q(K)*) unclean meat [is] vessels their.
5 Who say, Keep away, do not come near me, for fear that I make you holy: these are a smoke in my nose, a fire burning all day.
Who say draw near to yourself may not you draw near to me for I am set apart from you these [people] [are] smoke in nose my a fire [which] burns all the day.
6 See, it is recorded before me, says the Lord: I will not keep back my hand, till I have sent punishment,
Here! [it is] written before me not I will be silent that except I will repay and I will repay on bosom their.
7 For their sins and the sins of their fathers, who were burning perfumes on the mountains, and saying evil things against me on the hills: so I will take the measure of their sins, and will send the punishment for them into their breast.
Iniquities your and [the] iniquities of ancestors your together he says Yahweh who they made smoke on the mountains and on the hills they taunted me and I will measure work their first (into *Q(K)*) bosom their.
8 This is the word of the Lord: As the new wine is seen in the grapes, and they say, Do not send destruction on it, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants, in order that I may not put an end to them all.
Thus - he says Yahweh just as it is found the new wine in the cluster of grapes and someone says may not you destroy it for blessing [is] in it so I will act for [the] sake of servants my to not to destroy everyone.
9 And I will take a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah one who will have my mountains for a heritage: and the people I have taken to be mine will have it for themselves, and my servants will have their resting-place there.
And I will bring out from Jacob offspring and from Judah [the] possessor of mountains my and they will take possession of it chosen ones my and servants my they will dwell there.
10 And Sharon will be a grass-land for the flocks, and the valley of Achor a resting-place for the herds: for my people whose hearts have been turned back to me.
And it will become Sharon a pasture of sheep and [the] valley of Achor a resting place of cattle for people my who they have sought me.
11 But as for you who have given up the Lord, who have no care for my holy mountain, who get ready a table for Chance, and make offerings of mixed wine to Fate;
And you [who] forsake Yahweh forgetting [the] mountain of holiness my who arrange for Fortune a table and who fill for Destiny mixed wine.
12 Your fate will be the sword, and you will all go down to death: because when my voice came to you, you made no answer; you did not give ear to my word; but you did what was evil in my eyes, desiring what was not pleasing to me.
And I will appoint you to the sword and all of you to the slaughter you will bow down because I called and not you answered I spoke and not you listened and you did the evil in view my and [that] which not I desired you chose.
13 For this cause says the Lord God, My servants will have food, but you will be in need of food: my servants will have drink, but you will be dry: my servants will have joy, but you will be shamed:
Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here! servants my - they will eat and you you will be hungry here! servants my they will drink and you you will be thirsty here! servants my they will rejoice and you you will be ashamed.
14 My servants will make songs in the joy of their hearts, but you will be crying for sorrow, and making sounds of grief from a broken spirit.
Here! servants my they will shout for joy from goodness of heart and you you will cry out from pain of heart and from brokenness of spirit you will wail.
15 And your name will become a curse to my people, and the Lord God will put you to death, and give his servants another name:
And you will leave name your to a curse to chosen ones my and he will put to death you [the] Lord Yahweh and servants his he will call a name another.
16 So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes.
That the [one who] blesses himself in the land he will bless himself by [the] God of surely and the [one who] swears an oath in the land he will swear an oath by [the] God of surely that they will be forgotten the troubles former and for they will be hidden from eyes my.
17 For see, I am making a new heaven and a new earth: and the past things will be gone completely out of mind.
For here I [am] about to create heavens new and an earth new and not they will be remembered the former [things] and not they will come up on a heart.
18 But men will be glad and have joy for ever in what I am making; for I am making Jerusalem a delight, and her people a joy.
That except rejoice and be glad until perpetuity [that] which I [am] about to create for here I [am] about to create Jerusalem gladness and people its rejoicing.
19 And I will be glad over Jerusalem, and have joy in my people: and the voice of weeping will no longer be sounding in her, or the voice of grief.
And I will be glad in Jerusalem and I will rejoice in people my and not it will be heard in it again a sound of weeping and a sound of a cry of distress.
20 No longer will there be there a child whose days are cut short, or an old man whose days have not come to their full measure: for the young man at his death will be a hundred years old, and he whose life is shorter than a hundred years will seem as one cursed.
Not it will be from there again a sucking child of days and an old [person] who not he will complete days his for the young man a son of one hundred year[s] he will die and the [one who] misses a son of one hundred year[s] he will be cursed.
21 And they will be building houses and living in them; planting vine-gardens and getting the fruit of them.
And they will build houses and they will dwell [in them] and they will plant vineyards and they will eat fruit their.
22 They will no longer be building for the use of others, or planting for others to have the fruit: for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my loved ones will have joy in full measure in the work of their hands.
Not they will build and another he will dwell not they will plant and another he will eat for [will be] like [the] days of tree [the] days of people my and [the] work of hands their they will use to [the] full chosen ones my.
23 Their work will not be for nothing, and they will not give birth to children for destruction; for they are a seed to whom the Lord has given his blessing, and their offspring will be with them.
Not they will labor to emptiness and not they will father children for sudden terror for [will be] [the] offspring of [those] blessed of Yahweh they and descendants their [will be] with them.
24 And before they make their request I will give an answer, and while they are still making prayer to me, I will give ear.
And it will be before they will call and I I will answer still they [will be] speaking and I I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb will take their food together, and the lion will make a meal of grass like the ox: but dust will be the snake's food. There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain, says the Lord.
Wolf and lamb they will graze as one and [the] lion like the ox it will eat straw and a snake [will be] dust food its not they will do harm and not they will destroy in all [the] mountain of holiness my he says Yahweh.
