Ézsaiás 1
1 Ésaiásnak, Ámós fiának látása, melyet látott Júda és Jeruzsálem felől, Uzziásnak, Jóthámnak, Akháznak és Ezékiásnak, a Júda királyainak napjaiban.
[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.
2 Halljátok egek, és vedd füleidbe föld! mert az Úr szól: Fiakat neveltem, s méltóságra emeltem, és ők elpártolának tőlem.
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.
3 Az ökör ismeri gazdáját, és a szamár az ő urának jászlát; Izráel nem ismeri, az én népem nem figyel reá!
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].”
4 Oh gonosz nemzetség, hamissággal megterheltetett nép, gonosz mag, nemtelen fiak! elhagyták az Urat, megútálták az Izráel Szentjét, és elfordultak tőle.
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.
5 Miért ostorozzalak tovább, holott a bűnt növelitek? Minden fej beteg, és minden szív erőtelen.
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.
6 Tetőtől talpig nincs e testben épség, csupa seb és dagadás és kelevény, a melyeket ki sem nyomtak, be sem kötöztek, olajjal sem lágyítottak.
[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].
7 Országtok pusztaság, városaitokat tűz perzselé föl, földeteket szemetek láttára idegenek emésztik, és pusztaság az, mint a hol idegenek dúltak;
[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].
8 És úgy maradt a Sion leánya, mint kunyhó a szőlőben, mint kaliba az ugorkaföldön, mint megostromlott város.
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.
9 Ha a seregeknek Ura valami keveset meg nem hagyott volna bennünk, úgy jártunk volna mint Sodoma, és Gomorához volnánk hasonlók.
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].
10 Halljátok az Úrnak beszédét, Sodoma fejedelmei, és vedd füleidbe Istenünk tanítását, Gomora népe!
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]!
11 Mire való nékem véres áldozataitoknak sokasága? ezt mondja az Úr; megelégeltem a kosok egészen égőáldozatait és a hízlalt barmok kövérét; s a tulkok, bárányok és bakok vérében nem gyönyörködöm;
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].
12 Ha eljöttök, hogy színem előtt megjelenjetek, ki kivánja azt tőletek, hogy pitvarimat tapossátok?
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.
13 Ne hozzatok többé hazug ételáldozatot, a jó illattétel útálat előttem; újhold, szombat s ünnepre-felhívás: bűnt és ünneplést el nem szenvedhetek.
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].
14 Újholdaitokat és ünnepeiteket gyűlöli lelkem; terhemre vannak, elfáradtam viselni.
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.
15 És ha kiterjesztitek kezeiteket, elrejtem szemeimet előletek; sőt ha megsokasítjátok is az imádságot, én meg nem hallgatom: vérrel rakvák kezeitek.
[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].
16 Mosódjatok, tisztuljatok meg, távoztassátok el szemeim elől cselekedeteitek gonoszságát, szünjetek meg gonoszt cselekedni;
Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
17 Tanuljatok jót tenni; törekedjetek igazságra, vezessétek jóra az erőszakoskodót, pártoljátok az árvák és özvegyek ügyét.
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].”
18 No jertek, törvénykezzünk, azt mondja az Úr! ha bűneitek skárlátpirosak, hófehérek lesznek, és ha vérszínűek, mint a karmazsin, olyanok lesznek, mint a gyapjú.
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].
19 Ha engedelemmel hallgatándotok, e föld javaival éltek;
If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
20 És ha vonakodtok, sőt pártot üttök, fegyver emészt meg; mert az Úr szája szólt!
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.”
21 Mint lett paráznává a hív város! teljes vala jogossággal, igazság lakozott benne, és most gyilkosok!
“[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.
22 Ezüstöd salakká lett, tiszta borod vízzel elegyítve:
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.
23 Fejedelmid megátalkodottak és lopóknak társai; mind szereti az ajándékot és vesztegetést hajhász, árvát nem pártolnak, és az özvegy ügye nem kerül eléjök.
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.
24 Ezért azt mondja az Úr, a seregeknek Ura, Izráel erős Istene: Jaj! mert vígasztalást veszek háborgatóimon, és bosszút állok ellenségimen!
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.
25 És kezemet ellened fordítom, és kiolvasztom mintegy lúggal salakodat, és eltávolítom minden ólmodat;
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.
26 És adok néked oly birákat, mint régen, és oly tanácsosokat, mint kezdetben, s ekkor azt mondják te néked: ez igaz város, ez hív város.
[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.”'”
27 Sion jogosság által váltatik meg, és megtérői igazság által;
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.
28 De elvesznek a bűnösök és gonoszok egyetemben, s megemésztetnek, a kik az Urat elhagyták.
But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
29 Mert szégyen éri őket a cserfákért, a melyekben gyönyörködétek, és pirulni fogtok a kertek miatt, a melyeket kedveltek;
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].
30 És hasonlatosok lesztek az elhullott levelű terpentinfához, és a víz nélkül való kerthez:
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.
31 És csepüvé lesz az erős, és munkája szikrává: mindketten égni fognak, és oltójok nem lészen.
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.
