Isaiah 1
1 [I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
Jesaian, Amotsin pojan näky, jonka hän näki Juudasta ja Jerusalemista, Ussian, Jotamin, Ahaksen ja Jehiskian, Juudan kuningasten aikana.
2 This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
Kuulkaat taivaat, ja maa ota korviis, sillä Herra puhuu: minä olen lapsia kasvattanut ja korottanut, ja he ovat minusta luopuneet.
3 Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
Härkä tuntee omistajansa ja aasi isäntänsä seimen; mutta Israel ei tunne, ja minun kansani ei ymmärrä.
4 Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
Voi syntistä kansaa, kansaa suuresta pahasta teosta, pahanilkistä siementä, vahingollisia lapsia, jotka Herran hylkäsivät ja Israelin Pyhää pilkkasivat, he poikkesivat takaperin.
5 Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
Mitä varten teitä enempi lyödään, koska te aina harhailette? Koko pää on sairas, ja koko sydän on väsynyt.
6 [It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
Hamasta kantapäästä niin kiireeseen asti ei hänessä ole tervettä; vaan haavat, sinimarjat ja veripahat, jotka ei ole puserretut, eikä sidotut, taikka öljyllä sivellyt.
7 [It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
Teidän maanne on autiona, teidän kaupunkinne ovat tulella poltetut; muukalaiset syövät peltonne silmäin edessä; ja on autio, niinkuin se, joka muukalaisilta raadeltu on.
8 The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
Mutta mitä vielä Zionin tyttärestä jäänyt on, se on niinkuin maja viinamäessä, ja niinkuin hakomaja yrttitarhassa, niinkuin hävitetty kaupunki.
9 If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
Ellei Herra Zebaot meille jotakin vähää jättäisi, niin me olisimme kuin Sodoma, ja olisimme Gomorran kaltaiset.
10 You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
Te Sodoman päämiehet, kuulkaat Herran sanaa: ottakaat korviinne meidän Jumalamme laki, sinä Gomorran kansa.
11 He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
Mitä minulle on teidän uhrienne paljoudesta? sanoo Herra: minä olen oinasten polttouhrista ja syöttiläin rasvasta ravittu, ja en tottele vasikkain, lammasten ja kauristen verta.
12 When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
Kuin te tulette ja ilmestytte minun kasvoini eteen, kuka senkaltaisia vaatii teidän käsistänne, että te vaeltaisitte minun esihuoneessani?
13 Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
Älkäät silleen turhaa ruokauhrianne tuoko edes, se suitsutus on minulle kauhistus: uudella kuulla ja sabbatina, kuin kokous kuulutetaan, en minä voi kärsiä vääryyttä ja julhapäivää yhdessä.
14 I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
Minun sieluni vihaa uusia kuitanne ja juhlapäiviänne, minä olen niistä suuttunut; minä väsyn niitä kärseissäni.
15 [So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
Ja kuin te parhaallansa käsiänne nostatte, niin minä kuitenkin käännän silmäni teistä pois; ja vaikka te paljon rukoilisitte, en minä kuitenkaan teitä kuule; teidän kätenne ovat verenvikoja täynnä.
16 Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
Peskäät teitänne, puhdistakaat teitänne, pankaat paha menonne pois minun silmäini edestä, lakatkaat pahaa tekemästä.
17 Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
Oppikaat tekemään hyvää, ja etsikäät oikeutta, auttakaat alaspainettua, saattakat orvoille oikeus, ja auttakaat lesken asiaa.
18 Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
Ja sitte tulkaat, ja katsokaamme, kummalla oikeus on, sanoo Herra. Jos teidän syntinne veriruskiat olisivat, niin heidän pitää lumivalkiaksi tuleman; ja vaikka he olisivat niinkuin ruusunkarvaiset, pitää heidän kuitenkin niinkuin villa tuleman.
19 If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
Jos te tahtoisitte ja (minua) kuulisitte, niin te maan hyvyyden nautita saisitte.
20 But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Mutta jos te estelette teitänne ja olette kovakorvaiset, niin miekan pitää teitä syömän; sillä Herran suu puhuu sen.
21 “[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
Kuinka se tapahtuu, että hurskas kaupunki on portoksi tullut? Hän oli täynnä oikeutta, vanhurskaus asui hänessä; mutta nyt murhaajat.
22 Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
Sinun hopias on karreksi tullut, sinun juomas on vedellä sekoitettu.
23 Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
Sinun päämiehes ovat vilpistelleet ja varasten kumppanit; kaikki he mielellänsä lahjoja ottavat, ja pyytävät antimia. Ei he orvoille oikeutta tee, ja leskein asia ei tule heidän eteensä.
24 Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
Sentähden sanoo Herra, Herra Zebaot, väkevä Israelissa: voi! minä tahdon itseni lohduttaa vihollisistani, ja vihamiehissäni vihani sammuttaa;
25 I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
Ja käännän käteni sinua vastaan, ja sinun kartes puhtaammaksi selitän, ja vien pois kaiken sinun tinas.
26 [After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
Ja saatan sinun tuomaris entisellensä, ja neuvonantajas niinkuin alustakin: sitte sinä kutsutaan vanhurskaaksi ja uskolliseksi kaupungiksi.
27 Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
Zion lunastetaan oikeudella, ja sen kääntyväiset vanhurskaudella,
28 But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
Että ylitsekäymärit ja syntiset ynnä särjetään, ja jotka Herran hylkäävät, hukutetaan.
29 You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
Sillä heidän täytyy häpiään tulla tammien tähden, joita he himoitsevat, ja häväistyksi tuleman yrttitarhain tähden, jotka he valitsivat.
30 You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
Ja te tulette niinkuin joku tammi surkastuneilla lehdillä, ja niinkuin joku vedetöin yrttitarha.
31 Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
Ja väkevä tulee niinkuin rohdin, ja hänen tekonsa niinkuin kipinä. Ja he sytytetään ynnä molemmat, jota ei kenkään sammuta.
