Isaiah 22

1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What — to thee, now, that thou hast gone up, All of thee — to the roofs?

[the] oracle of [the] valley of Vision what? [is] to you then that you have gone up all of you to the roofs.

2 Full of stirs — a noisy city — an exulting city, Thy pierced are not pierced of the sword, Nor dead in battle.

Noises - full O city turbulent O town jubilant slain [ones] your not [are] slain of a sword and not [are] dead of battle.

3 All thy rulers fled together from the bow, Bound have been all found of thee, They have been kept bound together, Afar off they have fled.

All rulers your they have fled together from a bow they have been captured all found [ones] your they were captured together from a distance they had fled.

4 Therefore I said, 'Look ye from me, I am bitter in my weeping, Haste not to comfort me, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.'

There-fore I said look away from me I will show bitterness with weeping may not you insist to comfort me on [the] devastation of [the] daughter of people my.

5 For a day of noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In the valley of vision, digging down a wall, And crying unto the mountain.

For a day of consternation and trampling and confusion [belongs] to [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts in [the] valley of vision a breaking down of a wall and a crying out to the mountain.

6 And Elam hath borne a quiver, In a chariot of men — horsemen, And Kir hath exposed a shield.

And Elam it took up a quiver with chariotry of a man horsemen and Kir it uncovered a shield.

7 And it cometh to pass, The choice of thy valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen place themselves diligently at the gate.

And it was [the] choicest of valleys your they were full chariotry and the horsemen certainly they took a stand the gate towards.

8 And one removeth the covering of Judah, And thou lookest in that day Unto the armour of the house of the forest,

And he uncovered [the] covering of Judah and you looked in the day that to [the] weaponry of [the] House of the Forest.

9 And the breaches of the city of David ye have seen, For they have become many, And ye gather the waters of the lower pool,

And [the] breaches of [the] city of David you saw that they were many and you gathered [the] waters of the pool lower.

10 And the houses of Jerusalem ye did number, And ye break down the houses to fence the wall.

And [the] houses of Jerusalem you counted and you pulled down the houses to fortify the city wall.

11 And a ditch ye made between the two walls, For the waters of the old pool, And ye have not looked unto its Maker, And its Framer of old ye have not seen.

And a reservoir - you made between the two walls for [the] water of the pool old and not you looked to [the] [one who] made it and [the] [one who] planned it from distant [time] not you considered.

12 And call doth the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of sackcloth,

And he called [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts in the day that for weeping and for wailing and for baldness and for girding of sackcloth.

13 And lo, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine, Eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

And there! - joy and gladness they are killing - cattle and they are slaughtering sheep they are eating meat and they are drinking wine we will eat and we will drink for tomorrow we will die.

14 And revealed it hath been in mine ears, [By] Jehovah of Hosts: Not pardoned is this iniquity to you, Till ye die, said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts.

And he has revealed himself in ears my Yahweh of hosts if it will be atoned for (the iniquity *LA(bh)*) this for you until you will die! he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.

15 Thus said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts: 'Go, enter in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who [is] over the house:

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts come go to the steward this to Shebna who [is] over the house.

16 What — to thee here? And who — to thee here? That thou hast hewn out to thee here — a sepulchre? Hewing on high his sepulchre, Graving in a rock a dwelling for himself.

What? [belongs] to you here and who? [belongs] to you here that you have dug out for yourself here a tomb digging out high place tomb his cutting in the rock a dwelling for himself.

17 Lo, Jehovah is casting thee up and down, A casting up and down, O mighty one,

There! Yahweh [is] about to hurl away you hurling O man and [is] about to grasp you completely.

18 And thy coverer covering, wrapping round, Wrappeth thee round, O babbler, On a land broad of sides — there thou diest, And there the chariots of thine honour [Are] the shame of the house of thy lord.

Certainly he will wind up you a winding a ball to a land broad of both hands there you will die and there [the] chariots of splendor your [will be] [the] disgrace of [the] house of master your.

19 And I have thrust thee from thy station, And from thine office he throweth thee down.

And I will push you from office your and from post your he will tear down you.

20 And it hath come to pass, in that day, That I have called to my servant, To Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

And it will be in the day that and I will summon servant my Eliakim [the] son of Hilkiah.

21 And I have clothed him with thy coat, And with thy girdle I strengthen him, And thy garment I give into his hand, And he hath been for a father to the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.

And I will clothe him tunic your and sash your I will make firm on him and authority your I will put in hand his and he will become a father of [the] inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem and of [the] house of Judah.

22 And I have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he hath opened, and none is shutting, And hath shut, and none is opening.

And I will put [the] key of [the] house of David on shoulder his and he will open and there not [will be one who] shuts and he will shut and there not [will be one who] opens.

23 And I have fixed him a nail in a stedfast place, And he hath been for a throne of honour To the house of his father.

And I will drive him a tent peg in a place firm and he will become a seat of honor for [the] house of father his.

24 And they have hanged on him All the honour of the house of his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all vessels of flagons.

And they will hang on him all - [the] honor of [the] house of father his the descendants and the offshoot all [the] vessels of the small from [the] vessels of the bowls and unto all [the] vessels of the jars.

25 In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Moved is the nail that is fixed In a stedfast place, Yea, it hath been cut down, and hath fallen, And cut off hath been the burden that [is] on it, For Jehovah hath spoken!'

In the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts it will be removed the tent peg that was driven in a place firm and it will be cut down and it will fall and it will be cut off the burden which [was] on it for Yahweh he has spoken.
