Jesajan 3
1 Sillä katso, Herra, Herra Sebaot ottaa pois Jerusalemilta ja Juudalta varan ja turvan, kaiken leivänvaran ja kaiken vedenvaran,
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.
2 sankarin ja soturin, tuomarin ja profeetan, tietäjän ja vanhimman,
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,
3 viidenkymmenenpäämiehen ja arvomiehen, neuvonantajan, taitoniekan ja taikurin.
army officers and [other] officials, advisors and skilled craftsmen and those who perform rituals to predict the future.
4 Ja minä panen nuorukaiset heille päämiehiksi, ja pahankuriset hallitsevat heitä.
He will appoint boys to be your leaders; your children will rule you.
5 Kansassa sortaa kukin toistaan, jokainen lähimmäistään; nuorukainen rehentelee vanhusta vastaan, halpa-arvoinen arvollista vastaan.
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.
6 Kun veli tarttuu veljeensä isänsä talossa sanoen: "Sinulla on vielä vaatteet, rupea ruhtinaaksemme ja ota huostaasi tämä raunioläjä",
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!”
7 niin tämä sinä päivänä korottaa äänensä sanoen: "Ei minusta ole haavoja sitomaan; ei ole minun talossani leipää, ei vaatetta, älkää panko minua kansan ruhtinaaksi".
[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!”
8 Sillä Jerusalem kaatuu ja Juuda kukistuu, koska heidän kielensä ja heidän tekonsa ovat Herraa vastaan ja he uhittelevat hänen kunniansa kasvoja.
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.
9 Heidän kasvojensa hahmo todistaa heitä vastaan; syntinsä he tuovat julki niinkuin sodomalaiset, he eivät niitä salaa. Voi heitä! Itsellensä he pahaa tekevät.
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.
10 Sanokaa hurskaasta, että hänen käy hyvin, sillä he saavat nauttia tekojensa hedelmiä.
[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.
11 Voi jumalatonta! Hänen käy pahoin, sillä hänen kättensä teot maksetaan hänelle.
[But] terrible things will happen to wicked people; they will be (paid back/punished) for [the evil things that] [MTY] they have done.
12 Minun kansani käskijät ovat lapsia, ja naiset sitä hallitsevat. Kansani, sinun johtajasi ovat eksyttäjiä, he ovat hämmentäneet sinun polkujesi suunnan.
[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].
13 Herra asettuu käymään oikeutta, nousee kansoja tuomitsemaan.
[It is as though] Yahweh has sat in his place in a courtroom and is ready to judge his people.
14 Herra käy tuomiolle kansansa vanhinten ja sen päämiesten kanssa: Te olette raiskanneet viinitarhan; teidän taloissanne on kurjilta ryöstettyä tavaraa.
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.
15 Kuinka saatatte runnella minun kansaani ja ruhjoa kurjien kasvot? sanoo Herra, Herra Sebaot.
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.
16 Ja Herra sanoi: Koska Siionin tyttäret korskeilevat, kulkevat kaula kenossa ja silmillään vilkuillen, astua sipsuttelevat ja nilkkarenkaitaan kilistelevät,
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.
17 tekee Herra Siionin tytärten päälaen rupiseksi, ja Herra paljastaa heidän häpynsä.
So I, Yahweh, will cause sores to be on their heads, and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.”
18 Sinä päivänä Herra poistaa koreat nilkkarenkaat, otsanauhat, puolikuukorut,
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,
19 korvarenkaat, rannerenkaat, hunnut,
their earrings and bracelets and veils,
20 juhlapäähineet, jalkakäädyt, koruvyöt, hajupullot, taikahelyt,
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),
21 sormukset, nenärenkaat,
their signet rings and nose rings,
22 juhlavaatteet, kaavut, vaipat, kukkarot,
their nice robes and capes and cloaks and purses,
23 kuvastimet, aivinapaidat, käärelakit ja päällysharsot.
their mirrors and nice linen clothes and shawls.
24 Silloin tulee tuoksun sijaan löyhkä, vyön sijaan nuora, käherretyn tukan sijaan kaljuus, korupuvun sijaan säkkiverho, kauneuden sijaan polttomerkki.
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.
25 Sinun miehesi kaatuvat miekkaan ja sinun sankarisi sotaan.
Their husbands will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and their soldiers [will also die] in battles.
26 Ja Siionin portit valittavat ja vaikeroivat, ja typötyhjänä hän istuu maassa.
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.
