Isaiah 26

1 In the day that it will be sung the song this in [the] land of Judah a city of strength [belongs] to us salvation he sets walls and a rampart.

In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city. He appoints salvation for walls and ramparts.

2 Open [the] gates so it may enter a nation righteous [which] keeps faithfulness.

Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.

3 An inclination firm you will keep peace - peace for in you [he is] trusting.

You will keep him in peace, in peace whose thoughts are fixed on you, because he trusts in you.

4 Trust in Yahweh until perpetuity for [is] Yahweh Yahweh a rock of everlastingness.

Trust in the LORD forever; for in YAH, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.

5 For he will lay low [the] inhabitants of a high place a town set on high he will bring low it he will bring low it to [the] ground he will make touch it to [the] dust.

For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low to the ground. He casts it to the dust.

6 It will trample it a foot [the] feet of [the] afflicted [the] footsteps of poor [people].

The feet of the poor tramples it down, the footsteps of the needy."

7 [the] way Of the righteous [is] level paths O upright [one] [the] track of [the] righteous you make level.

The way of the righteous is level. O Just One, you make the path of the righteous smooth.

8 Also [the] way of judgments your O Yahweh we have waited for you [is] for name your and for memory your [the] desire of self.

Yes, in the path of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.

9 Self my I have desired you in the night also spirit my in inner being my I will seek you for when judgments your [are] to the earth righteousness they learn [the] inhabitants of [the] world.

With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, my spirit within me will seek you early, for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

10 He is shown favor [the] wicked not he learns righteousness in a land of straightforwardness he acts unjustly and not he sees [the] majesty of Yahweh.

Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD's majesty.

11 O Yahweh it is raised hand your not they behold! they will behold and they may be ashamed [the] zeal of a people also [the] fire of opponents your it will consume them.

LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see; they see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.

12 O Yahweh you will establish peace for us for also all works our you have done for us.

LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us.

13 O Yahweh God our they have ruled over us lords except you only in you we bring to remembrance name your.

LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.

14 Dead [ones] not they will live shades not they will rise therefore you have visited and you have destroyed them and you have destroyed all remembrance of them.

The dead shall not live, and the departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.

15 You have added to the nation O Yahweh you have added to the nation you have gained glory you have extended all [the] boundaries of [the] land.

You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation. You are glorified. You have enlarged all the borders of the land.

16 O Yahweh in distress people sought you they poured out! a whisper chastening your [was] to them.

LORD, in trouble they sought you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.

17 Like a pregnant [woman] [who] she brings near to give birth she is in labor she cries out in labor-pains her so we were because of you O Yahweh.

Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, LORD.

18 We were pregnant we were in labor like we gave birth to wind deliverance not we accomplish [the] earth and not they fall [the] inhabitants of [the] world.

We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

19 They will live dead [ones] your corpse my they will rise! awake and shout for joy O [those who] dwell of dust for [will be the] dew of lights dew your and [the] earth [the] shades it will make fall.

Your dead shall live; my dead bodies shall rise. Awake and shout for joy, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of the dawn, and the earth shall bring forth the departed spirits.

20 Come O people my go in rooms your and shut (door your *Q(K)*) behind you hide like a little of a moment until (it has passed by *Q(k)*) indignation.

Come, my people, enter into your chambers, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

21 For there! Yahweh [is] about to go forth from place his to visit [the] iniquity of [the] inhabitant[s] of the earth on him and it will reveal the earth blood its and not it will cover still over slain [ones] its.

For, look, the LORD comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
