< Isaiah 14 >
1 For he will have compassion on Yahweh Jacob and he will choose again Israel and he will give rest them on own land their and he will join himself the sojourner to them and they will attach themselves to [the] house of Jacob.
Her time is drawing near, and her days will not be prolonged. For the Lord will take pity on Jacob, and he will still choose from Israel, and he will cause them to rest upon their own soil. And the new arrival will be joined to them, and he will adhere to the house of Jacob.
2 And they will take them peoples and they will bring them to place their and they will receive as an inheritance them [the] house of Israel on [the] land of Yahweh to [male] servants and to female servants and they will be taking captive captors their and they will rule over oppressors their.
And the people will take them, and lead them to their place. And the house of Israel will possess them, in the land of the Lord, as men and women servants. And they will take captive those who had taken them captive. And they will subjugate their oppressors.
3 And it will be on [the] day gives rest Yahweh to you from pain your and from turmoil your and from the labor hard which it was labored by you.
And this shall be in that day: when God will have given you rest from your labor, and from your oppression, and from the difficult servitude under which you served before,
4 And you will lift up the saying this on [the] king of Babylon and you will say how! he has ceased [the] oppressor it has ceased raging.
you will accept this parable against the king of Babylon, and you will say: “How is it that the oppressor has ceased, along with his tribute?
5 He has broken Yahweh [the] staff of wicked [people] [the] scepter of rulers.
The Lord has crushed the staff of the impious, the scepter of despots,
6 [which] struck Peoples in wrath a blow not ceasing [which] ruled in anger nations persecution [which] not anyone restrained.
which struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, which subjugated the nations in fury, which persecuted with cruelty.
7 It is at rest it is at peace all the earth people have broken forth a shout of joy.
All the earth has become quiet and still; it has been gladdened and has rejoiced.
8 Also [the] fir trees they have rejoiced to you [the] cedars of Lebanon from then you lay down not he comes up the [wood] cutter on us.
The evergreens, too, have rejoiced over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying: ‘Since you have slept, no one has ascended who would cut us down.’
9 Sheol beneath it is excited to you to meet coming you it has roused to you shades all [the] leaders of [the] earth it has made rise from thrones their all [the] kings of [the] nations. (Sheol )
Hell below was stirred up to meet you at your advent; it has awakened the giants for you. All the leaders of the earth have risen from their thrones, all the leaders among the nations.” (Sheol )
10 All of them they will answer and they may say to you also you you have been made weak like us to us you have become like.
Everyone will respond and will say to you: “Now you are wounded, just as we were; you have become like us.
11 It has been brought down Sheol (pride your *LA(bh)*) [the] sound of lyres your under you it is spread as a bed maggot[s] and coverings your [are] worm[s]. (Sheol )
Your arrogance has been dragged down to Hell. Your body has fallen dead. The moths will be strewn beneath you, and the worms will be your covering. (Sheol )
12 How! you have fallen from heaven O shining one son of dawn you have been cut down to the ground O defeater over [the] nations.
How is it that you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who used to rise like the sun? How is it that you have fallen to the earth, you who wounded the peoples?
13 And you you said in heart your the heavens I will ascend from above [the] stars of El I will raise throne my so I may sit on [the] mountain of appointed meeting in [the] remotest parts of Zaphon.
And you said in your heart: ‘I will climb up to heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will be enthroned upon the mountain of the covenant, on the northern parts.
14 I will ascend above [the] high places of [the] cloud[s] I will make myself like [the] Most High.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.’
15 Nevertheless to Sheol you have been brought down to [the] remotest parts of [the] pit. (Sheol )
Yet truly, you shall be dragged down to Hell, into the depths of the pit. (Sheol )
16 [those who] see You to you they will stare to you they will consider carefully ¿ [is] this the man [who] made tremble the earth [who] made shake kingdoms.
Those who see you, will lean toward you, and will gaze upon you, saying: ‘Could this be the man who disturbed the earth, who shook kingdoms,
17 [who] made [the] world Like wilderness and cities its he tore down prisoners his not he opened home towards.
who made the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who would not even open a prison for his prisoners?’”
18 All [the] kings of [the] nations all of them they have lain down in splendor each one in own house his.
All the kings of the nations throughout the whole world have slept in glory, each man in his own house.
19 And you you have been thrown out from tomb your like a branch abhorred [the] clothing of [those who] were slain [who were] pierced of [the] sword [who] go down to [the] stones of [the] pit like a corpse trodden down.
But you have been rejected from your grave, like a useless polluted plant, and you have been bound up with those who were slain by the sword, and who descended to the bottom of the pit, like a rotting carcass.
20 Not you will be united with them in burial for land your you have ruined people your you have slain not it will be named for ever [the] offspring of evil-doers.
You will not be associated with them, even in the grave. For you have destroyed your own land; you have slain your own people. The offspring of the wicked ones will not be called upon for eternity.
21 Prepare for sons his a place of slaughter in [the] iniquity of ancestors their not they will arise and they will take possession of [the] earth and they will fill [the] surface of [the] world cities.
Prepare his sons for the slaughter, according to the iniquity of their fathers. They will not rise up, nor inherit the earth, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 And I will rise up on them [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and I will cut off to Babylon name and remnant and posterity and progeny [the] utterance of Yahweh.
But I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts. And I will perish the name of Babylon and its remnants: both the plant and its progeny, says the Lord.
23 And I will make it a possession of hedgehog[s] and reed-pools of water and I will sweep away it with a broom of destruction [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts.
And I will appoint it as a possession for the hedgehog, with swamps of water. And I will sweep it out and wear it away with a brush, says the Lord of hosts.
24 He has sworn Yahweh of hosts saying if not just as I have intended so it has happened and just as I have planned it it will stand.
The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying: Surely, just as I have considered it, so shall it be, and in the same manner as I have drawn it through my mind,
25 To break Assyria in land my and on mountains my I will tread down it and it will be removed from on them yoke its and burden its from on shoulder its it will be removed.
so shall it occur. So shall I crush the Assyrian in my land, and I will trample him upon my mountains, and his yoke will be taken away from them, and his burden will be removed from their shoulder.
26 This [is] the plan which is planned on all the earth and this [is] the hand which is stretched out over all the nations.
This is the plan that I have decided, concerning the entire earth, and this is the hand which is extended over all the nations.
27 For Yahweh of hosts he has planned and who? will he frustrate [it] and [is] hand his the [one] stretched out and who? will he turn back it.
For the Lord of hosts has decreed it, and who is able to weaken it? And his hand is extended, so who can avert it?
28 In [the] year of [the] death of the king Ahaz it came the oracle this.
In the year in which king Ahaz died, this burden was given:
29 May not you rejoice O Philistia all of you that it has been broken [the] rod of [the] [one who] struck you for from [the] root of a snake it will go forth a viper and fruit its [will be] a serpent flying.
You should not rejoice, all you of Philistia, that the rod of him who struck you has been crushed. For from the root of the serpent will go forth a king snake, and his offspring will engulf that which flies.
30 And they will graze [the] firstborn of poor [people] and needy [people] to security they will lie down and I will put to death by famine root your and remnant your it will kill.
And the firstborn of the poor will be pastured, and the poor will rest in faithfulness. And I will cause your root to pass away by famine, and I will put to death your remnant.
31 Wail O gate cry out O city melt away O Philistia all of you for from [the] north smoke [is] coming and there not [is] an isolated [one] among ranks its.
Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! All of Philistia has been prostrated. For a smoke will arrive from the north, and there is no one who will escape his army.
32 And what? will anyone answer [the] messengers of a nation that Yahweh he has founded Zion and in it they will take refuge [the] afflicted [people] of people his.
And what will be the response to this news among the nations? It will be that the Lord has established Zion, and that the poor of his people will hope in him.
