Isaiah 66

1 Thus he says Yahweh the heavens [are] throne my and the earth [is] [the] footstool of feet my where? this [is the] house which you will build for me and where? this [is the] place rest my.

Thus said YHWH: “The heavens [are] My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where [is] this—the house that you build for Me? And where [is] this—the place—My rest?

2 And all these [things] hand my it made and they were all these [things] [the] utterance of Yahweh and to this one I will look to an afflicted [person] and a [person] stricken of spirit and a [person] trembling on word my.

And My hand has made all these, And all these things are,” A declaration of YHWH! “And to this one I look attentively, To the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.

3 [one who] slaughters Ox [one who] strikes down a person [one who] sacrifices lamb [one who] breaks [the] neck of a dog [one who] offers up a grain offering [the] blood of a pig [one who] offers as a memorial frankincense [one who] blesses wickedness also they they have chosen own ways their and detestable things their self their it has delighted.

Whoever slaughters the ox strikes a man, Whoever sacrifices the lamb beheads a dog, Whoever is bringing up a present—The blood of a sow, Whoever is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Indeed, they have fixed on their own ways, And their soul has delighted in their abominations.

4 Also I I will choose punishments their and fears their I will bring to them because I called and there not [was one who] answered I spoke and not they listened and they did the evil in view my and [that] which not I desired they chose.

I also—I fix on their distress, And I bring in their fears to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spoke, and they have not listened, And they do evil in My eyes, And on that which I did not desire—fixed.”

5 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O [people] trembling to word his they have said relatives your [who] hate you [who] exclude you for [the] sake of name my will be honored Yahweh so we may look on joy your and they they will be ashamed.

Hear a word of YHWH, You who are trembling at His word: “Your brothers who are hating you, Who are driving you out for My Name’s sake, have said, YHWH is honored, and we look on your joy, But they are ashamed.”

6 A sound of an uproar from [the] city a sound from [the] temple [the] sound of Yahweh repaying recompense to enemies his.

A voice of noise from the city, A voice from the temple, The voice of YHWH, Giving repayment to His enemies.

7 Before she was in labor she gave birth before it came labor-pain[s] to her and she delivered a male.

“Before she is pained she has brought forth, Before a pang comes to her, She has delivered a male.

8 Who? has he heard like this who? has he seen like these ¿ will it be brought forth a land in a day one or? will it be born a nation a time one for she was in labor also she gave birth to Zion children her.

Who has heard anything like this? Who has seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Is a nation born at once? For she has been pained, Zion has also borne her sons.

9 ¿ I do I bring to [the] birth and not I cause to bring forth he says Yahweh or? [am] I the [one who] causes to bring forth and do I restrain? he says God your.

Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?” says YHWH, “Am I not He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,” said your God.

10 Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad in it O all [those who] love it exult with it exultation O all those [who] mourn on it.

“Rejoice with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all you loving her, Rejoice with her for joy, All you who are mourning for her,

11 So that you may suck and you will be satisfied from [the] breast of consolations its so that you may suck and you will take delight from [the] nipple of abundance its.

So that you suckle, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that you wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her glory.”

12 For thus - he says Yahweh here I [am] about to extend to it like a river peace and like a torrent overflowing [the] abundance of nations and you will suck on a hip you will be carried and on knees you will be fondled.

For thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And the glory of nations as an overflowing stream, And you have sucked, You are carried on the side, And you are dandled on the knees.

13 Like a person whom mother his she comforts him so I I will comfort you and in Jerusalem you will be comforted.

As one whom his mother comforts, so do I comfort you, Indeed, you are comforted in Jerusalem.”

14 And you will see and it will exult heart your and bones your like grass they will sprout and it will be made known [the] hand of Yahweh with servants his and he will be indignant enemies his.

And you have seen, and your heart has rejoiced, And your bones flourish as tender grass, And the hand of YHWH has been known to His servants, And He has been indignant with His enemies.

15 For there! Yahweh in fire he will come and [will be] like the storm-wind chariots his to bring back with rage anger his and rebuke his with flames of fire.

For behold, YHWH comes in fire, And His chariots as a windstorm, To refresh His anger in fury, And His rebuke in flames of fire.

16 For by fire Yahweh [will] enter into judgment and by sword his with all flesh and they will be many [those] slain of Yahweh.

For by fire and by His sword, YHWH does judgment with all flesh. And many have been YHWH’s pierced ones.

17 Who consecrate themselves and who purify themselves to the gardens after (one *Q(K)*) in the middle [those who] eat [the] flesh of the pig and the detestable thing and the mouse all together they will come to an end [the] utterance of Yahweh.

“Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves [to go] to the gardens, One after another in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the muroid, Are consumed together,” A declaration of YHWH.

18 And I deeds their and thoughts their [is] coming to gather all the nations and the languages and they will come and they will see glory my.

“And I—their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My glory.

19 And I will perform among them a sign and I will send of them - survivors to the nations Tarshish Pul and Lud [those who] draw a bow Tubal and Javan the islands distant which not they have heard report my and not they have seen glory my and they will declare glory my among the nations.

And I have set a sign among them, And have sent out of them those escaping to the nations (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the islands that are far off), Who have not heard My fame, nor seen My glory, And they have declared My glory among nations.

20 And they will bring back all relatives your from all the nations - an offering - to Yahweh on horses and in chariot[s] and in wagons and on mules and on camels to [the] mountain of holiness my Jerusalem he says Yahweh just as they will bring [the] people of Israel the grain offering in a vessel pure [the] house of Yahweh.

And they have brought all your brothers out of all the nations, A present to YHWH, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, To My holy mountain Jerusalem,” said YHWH, “As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of YHWH.

21 And also some of them I will take to priests to Levites he says Yahweh.

And I also take of them for priests, For Levites,” said YHWH.

22 For just as the heavens new and the earth new which I [am] about to make [will] endure before me [the] utterance of Yahweh so it will endure offspring your and name your.

“For as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “So your seed and your name remain.

23 And it will be as often as a new moon in new moon its and as often as a sabbath in sabbath its it will come all flesh to bow down before me he says Yahweh.

And it has been from month to month, And from Sabbath to Sabbath, All flesh come to bow themselves before Me,” said YHWH.

24 And they will go out and they will look on [the] corpses of the people who rebelled against me for worm their not it will die and fire their not it will be extinguished and they will be an abhorrence to all flesh.

“And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcasses of the men Who are transgressing against Me, For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!”
