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 [Praised]: “We have a strong city. God appoints yishu'ah ·salvation· for walls and bulwarks.
2 Open [the] gates so it may enter a nation righteous [which] keeps faithfulness.
Open the gates, that the upright 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 whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
4 Trust in Yahweh until perpetuity for [is] Yahweh Yahweh a rock of everlastingness.
Trust in Adonai forever; for in Yah, Adonai, 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. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
6 It will trample it a foot [the] feet of [the] afflicted [the] footsteps of poor [people].
The foot shall tread it down; Even the feet of the poor, and the steps 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 just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the upright level.
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 way of your judgments, Adonai, 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, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly; 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 Adonai’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.
Adonai, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. 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.
Adonai, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.
13 O Yahweh God our they have ruled over us lords except you only in you we bring to remembrance name your.
Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh 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. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have 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 Adonai. 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.
Adonai, in trouble they have visited 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, Adonai.
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 yishu'ah ·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 arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out 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 rooms, 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, behold, Adonai comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their depravity (moral evil). The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
