Isaiah 22

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

The burden of the valley of vision. What does it mean to you, then, that each of you have even climbed to the rooftops?

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

Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die in battle.

3 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.

All your leaders have fled together, and they have been bound by hardship. All who were found were chained together. They have fled far away.

4 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.

For this reason, I said: “Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation of the daughter of my people.”

5 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.

For it is a day of death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.

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

And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.

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

And your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.

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

And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.

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

And you will see breaches in the city of David, for these have been multiplied. But you have gathered together the waters of the lower fish-pool.

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

And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order to fortify the wall.

11 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.

And you have made a pit between two walls for the waters of the ancient fish-pool. But you have not gazed upward to him who made it, and you have not considered, even from a distance, its Maker.

12 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.

And in that day, the Lord, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.

13 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.

But behold: gladness and rejoicing, the killing of calves and the slaughter of rams, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”

14 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.

And the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, until you die,” says the Lord, the God of hosts.

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

Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts: Go forth and enter to him who lives in the tabernacle, to Shebna, who is in charge of the temple, and you shall say to him:

16 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.

“What are you here, or who are you claiming to be here? For you have hewn a sepulcher for yourself here. You have diligently hewn a memorial in a rock, as a tabernacle to yourself.

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

Behold, the Lord will cause you to be carried away, like a domesticated rooster, and he will remove you, like an outer garment.

18 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.

He will crown you with a crown of tribulation. He will toss you like a ball into a broad and spacious land. There you will die, and there the chariot of your glory will be, for it is a shame to the house of your Lord.”

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

And I will expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.

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

And this shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.

21 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.

And I will clothe him with your vestment, and I will strengthen him with your belt, and I will give your authority to his hand. And he shall be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

22 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.

And I will place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And when he opens, no one will close. And when he closes, no one will open.

23 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.

And I will fasten him like a peg in a trustworthy place. And he will be upon a throne of glory in the house of his father.

24 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.

And they will suspend over him all the glory of his father’s house: various kinds of vessels and every little article, from the vessels of bowls even to every instrument of music.

25 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.

In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg which was fastened in a trustworthy place shall be taken away. And he will be broken, and he will fall, and he will perish, along with all that had depended upon him, because the Lord has spoken it.
