Isaiah 3
1 The Commander of the armies of angels is about to take away from Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea everything that you depend on— all your food and water.
Ja sieh! Der Herr, der Heeresscharen Herr, nimmt aus Jerusalem und Juda den Stab und Stock hinweg, jedwedes Stärkungsbrot, jedwedes Labewasser:
2 He will take away your heroes and your [other] soldiers, your judges and your prophets, people who do rituals to find out what will happen in the future and the elders,
die Ritter, Krieger, Richter und Propheten, Wahrsager, Älteste,
3 army officers and [other] officials, advisors and skilled craftsmen and those who perform rituals to predict the future.
Anführer, Angesehene, Ratsherren, Baukundige und Redefertige. -
4 He will appoint boys to be your leaders; your children will rule you.
"Ich aber gebe Knaben ihnen zu Beamten, und Kinder sollen ihrer walten. -
5 People will treat each other cruelly: people will fight against their neighbors. Young people will insult older people, and vulgar/dishonorable people will sneer at people who should be honored.
In harten Druck gerät das, Volk, der eine durch den anderen, der Nachbar durch den Nachbarn. Frech fährt den Greis der Knabe an, der Niedere den Angesehenen." -
6 At that time, someone will grab one of his brothers in his father’s house and say to him, “You have a coat, [which shows that you are respected]. [So] you be our leader! You rule this [city, which is now] a pile of ruins!”
Wenn einer seinen Blutsverwandten anhält mit den Worten: "Du hast noch ein Stück Tuch. Werd unser Oberhaupt, und untertan sein diese Trümmer dir!",
7 [But] his brother will reply, “[No], I cannot help you, [because] I do not have [any extra] food or clothes in this house. [So] do not appoint me to be your leader!”
so ruft er laut an jenem Tage - "Ich kann nicht Helfer sein. In meinem Hause gibt es weder Brot noch Tuch. Bestellt mich nicht zum Oberhaupt des Volkes!" -
8 Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah will be destroyed, because [everything] that the people do and say there opposes Yahweh, who is powerful and glorious, and they refuse to obey him. They rebel against him.
Jerusalem zerfällt in Trümmer, und Juda stürzt; denn ihre Reden, ihre Taten sind dem Herrn zuwider und reizen seine Hoheit. -
9 They even show on their faces that [they oppose Yahweh]. They are proud of their sins, like [the people of] Sodom were [long ago]; they do not try to hide their sins. [Because of their sins], terrible things will happen to them, [but] they will bring those disasters on themselves.
Parteilichkeit zeugt wider sie. Von ihren Sünden sprechen sie wie Sodom unverhohlen. Ein Wehe über sie! Sie tun sich selber Böses an.
10 [Yahweh told me to] tell the righteous people that good things will happen to them; they will enjoy the blessings that they will receive for their good deeds.
Bedenket, daß die Frommen Gutes, daß ihrer Taten Früchte sie genießen!
11 [But] terrible things will happen to wicked people; they will be (paid back/punished) for [the evil things that] [MTY] they have done.
Doch wehe über einen Frevler! Ihm wird Schlimmes, ihm wird jetzt seiner Taten Lohn zuteil. -
12 [Now], youths [who have become leaders] treat my people cruelly, and women rule over my people. My people, your leaders are misleading you; they are causing you to go down the wrong road [MET].
Mein Volk! Sein Herrscher ist ein Kind, und Weiber walten seiner. Mein Volk! Verführer sind die Führer dein, verwirrend deiner Wege Lauf.
13 [It is as though] Yahweh has sat in his place in a courtroom and is ready to judge his people.
Der Herr tritt auf, um Recht zu schaffen; er steht, das Volk zu richten, da.
14 He will stand up to declare why the elders and rulers of his people should be punished: [he says], “The people of Israel are [like] [MET] a vineyard that I planted, but you have ruined it! Your houses are full of things that you have stolen from poor people.
So geht der Herr denn ins Gericht mit seines Volkes Ältesten und Amtspersonen: - "Ihr habt den Weinberg abgeweidet. In euren Häusern ist geraubtes Armengut.
15 You should stop [RHQ] crushing my people! [It is as though] you are pushing the faces of poor people into the dirt!” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
Was fällt euch ein, mein Volk zu treten, der Armen Antlitz zu zermalmen?" - Ein Spruch des Herrn, des Herrn der Heeresscharen.
16 Yahweh says this: “The women of Jerusalem are haughty/proud; they walk around sticking their chins out, and flirting [with men] with their eyes. They walk with tiny steps with bracelets on their ankles that jingle.
So spricht der Herr: - "Weil Sions Töchter hochgetragen tun, gereckten Halses gehn und freche Blicke werfen und tänzelnd trippeln, mit den Füßen klirren, -
17 So I, Yahweh, will cause sores to be on their heads, and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.”
so macht der Herr der Sionstöchter Scheitel kahl; der Herr macht sie ganz bloß." -
18 At the time [that Yahweh does that], he will strip away everything that the women of Jerusalem wear to make themselves beautiful—the ornaments on their ankles and their headbands, their crescent necklaces,
An jenem Tage nimmt der Herr hinweg die wunderbaren die Schleier, Fußspangen, Stirnbänder, Halbmonde,
19 their earrings and bracelets and veils,
Ohrtropfen, Armketten, die Schleier,
20 their scarves and ankle bracelets and sashes, their perfumes and (charms/little things that they wear thinking that those things will protect them from evil),
Kopfbinden, die Schrittkettchen und Schleifen, Riechfläschchen, Amulette,
21 their signet rings and nose rings,
Fingerringe, Stirnreifen,
22 their nice robes and capes and cloaks and purses,
die Feierkleider, Mäntel, Überwürfe, Taschen,
23 their mirrors and nice linen clothes and shawls.
die Spiegel und die Linnentücher, Turbane samt den Schleiern.
24 Instead of their having a nice smell from perfume, they will stink; instead of nice sashes, they will have ropes [around their waists because they will be captives]. Instead of having fancy hairdos, they will be bald. Instead of fancy/beautiful robes, they will wear rough sackcloth, and instead of being beautiful, they will be branded.
Anstatt des Balsams gibt es Moderduft und statt des Gürtels einen Strick und statt des Lockenwerkes kahle Köpfe, anstatt des Prunkgewandes Sackumgürtung, Brandmale statt der Schönheitsmittel.
25 Their husbands will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and their soldiers [will also die] in battles.
So fallen deine Schwächlinge durchs Schwert und deine gute Mannschaft in dem Kampf. -
26 People [PRS] will mourn and cry at the gates [of the city]. The city will [be like] [MET] a woman who sits on the ground because everything that she owned is gone.
Und seine Tore seufzen trauernd; am Boden sitzt es, ausgeplündert.
