Isaiah 24

1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

Here! Yahweh [is] about to lay waste the earth and [is] about to devastate it and he will twist surface its and he will scatter inhabitants its.

2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

And it will be as the people as the priest as the servant as master his as the maidservant as mistress her as the buyer as the seller as the lender as the borrower as the creditor as [the one] who a creditor [is] in him.

3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for the LORD hath spoken this word.

Certainly - it will be laid waste the earth and certainly - it will be plundered for Yahweh he has spoken the word this.

4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do languish.

It has dried up it has withered the earth it has languished it has withered [the] world they have languished [the] noble[s] of [the] people of the earth.

5 The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

And the earth it has been polluted under inhabitants its for they have transgressed laws they have overstepped [the] decree they have broken [the] covenant of perpetuity.

6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

There-fore a curse it has consumed [the] earth and they have been held guilty [the] inhabitants in it there-fore they have diminished [the] inhabitants of [the] earth and it will be left humankind of smallness.

7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.

It has dried up new wine it has languished [the] vine they have groaned all [the people] joyful of heart.

8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

It has ceased [the] gaiety of tambourines it has stopped [the] uproar of jubilant [people] it has ceased [the] gaiety of [the] harp.

9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

With song not people will drink wine it will be bitter strong drink to [those who] drink it.

10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

It has been broken [the] town of formlessness it has been shut up every house from entering.

11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

An outcry on wine [will be] in the streets it has become evening all gladness it has departed [the] gaiety of the earth.

12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

It has remained in the city desolation and ruin it will be crushed [the] gate.

13 For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the grape gleanings when the vintage is done.

For thus it will be in [the] midst of the earth in among the peoples like [the] beating of an olive tree like gleanings if it has come to an end [the] grape harvest.

14 These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of the LORD they cry aloud from the sea.

They they will lift up voice their they will shout for joy in [the] majesty of Yahweh they will cry aloud from [the] west.

15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.

There-fore in the east glorify Yahweh in [the] islands of the sea [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.

16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

From [the] extremity of the earth songs we have heard splendor [belongs] to the righteous [one] and I said leanness [belongs] to me leanness [belongs] to me woe! to me [those who] act treacherously they act treacherously and treachery [those who] act treacherously they act treacherously.

17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

Dread and pit and snare [are] on you O inhabitant of the earth.

18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

And it will be the [one who] flees from [the] sound of the dread he will fall into the pit and the [one who] goes up from [the] midst of the pit he will be caught in snare for windows from a high place they have been opened and they have shaken [the] foundations of [the] earth.

19 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

Utterly it has been broken the earth utterly it has been split through [the] earth certainly it has been shaken [the] earth.

20 The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall be moved to and fro like a hut; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.

Wildly it will stagger [the] earth like drunkard and it will sway like hut and it will be heavy on it transgression its and it will fall and not it will repeat to rise.

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

And it will be in the day that he will visit [judgment] Yahweh on [the] host of the height in the height[s] and on [the] kings of the earth on the earth.

22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

And they will be gathered a gathering prisoner[s] to a pit and they will be shut up at a prison and from an abundance of days they will be visited.

23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

And it will be abashed the moon and it will be ashamed the sun for he will reign Yahweh of hosts on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem and before elders his glory.
