이사야 27
1 그 날에 여호와께서 그 견고하고 크고 강한 칼로 날랜 뱀 리워야단 곧 꼬불꼬불한 뱀 리워야단을 벌하시며 바다에 있는 용을 죽이시리라
At that time, Yahweh will punish Leviathan, the swift-moving monster/dragon, that coiling serpent that lives in the sea. Yahweh will kill it with his sharp, huge, and powerful sword.
2 그 날에 너희는 아름다운 포도원을 두고 노래를 부를지어다
At that time, [Yahweh will say], “You [Israeli people, who are like] [MET] a fruitful vineyard, must sing!
3 나 여호와는 포도원지기가 됨이여 때때로 물을 주며 밤낮으로 간수하여 아무든지 상해하지 못하게 하리로다
I will [protect you] [like a farmer] [MET] waters his crops carefully [in order that they will grow well]. I will guard you day and night, in order that no one harms you.
4 포도원에 대하여 노함이 없나니 질려와 형극이 나를 대적하여 싸운다하자 내가 그것을 밟고 모아 불사르리라
I am no [longer] angry [with my people]; [if any of your enemies try to injure you like briers and thorns injure people] [MET], I will attack them [in battles]; I will get rid of them completely,
5 그리하지 아니할것 같으면 나의 힘을 의지하고 나와 화친하며 나로 더불어 화친할 것이니라
unless they request me to protect them; I strongly invite them to make peace with me [DOU]!”
6 후일에는 야곱의 뿌리가 박히며 이스라엘의 움이 돋고 꽃이 필것이라 그들이 그 결실로 지면에 채우리로다
There will be a time when the (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) will [prosper like] a plant that has good roots; they will be like [MET] trees that bud and blossom and bear a lot of fruit; [what they do will bless] all the people in the world.
7 주께서 그 백성을 치셨은들 그 백성을 친 자들을 치심과 같았겠으며 백성이 살륙을 당하였은들 백성을 도륙한 자의 살륙을 당함과 같았겠느냐
[But now I ask], has Yahweh punished us Israelis like he punished our enemies? Has he punished us as much as he punished them?
8 주께서 백성을 적당하게 견책하사 쫓아내실 때에 동풍 부는 날에폭풍으로 그들을 옮기셨느니라
[No, he has not done that], [but] he punished us Israeli people and (exiled us/forced us to leave our country); we were taken away from our land as though [SIM] we were struck by a windstorm from the east.
9 야곱의 불의가 속함을 얻으며 그 죄를 없이 함을 얻을 결과는 이로 인하나니 곧 그가 제단의 모든 돌로 부숴진 횟돌 같게 하며 아세라와 태양상으로 다시 서지 못하게 함에 있는 것이라
Yahweh did that in order to punish us for our sins, and remove our guilt. As a result [of our being exiled], all the altars to other gods [in Israel] will be demolished, and we will be forgiven for the sins that we have committed. There will be no more poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah, or altars for burning incense to other gods; they will all be torn down.
10 대저 견고한 성읍은 적막하고 거처가 황무하며 버림이 되어 광야와 같았은즉 송아지가 거기서 먹고 거기 누우며 그 나무 가지를 먹어 없이하리라
The cities that have strong walls around them will be empty; like the desert, they will have no one living in them. The houses will be abandoned, and the streets will be full of weeds. Calves will eat grass there and lie down there; they will chew up all the leaves on the trees.
11 가지가 마르면 꺾이나니 여인이 와서 그것을 불사를 것이라 이 백성이 지각이 없으므로 그들을 지으신 자가 불쌍히 여기지 아니하시며 그들을 조성하신 자가 은혜를 베풀지 아니하시리라
[The Israeli people are like] [MET] dry branches on a tree; women break them off and use them to make fires [under their cooking pots]. Our Israeli people do not have any sense; so Yahweh, who created them, will not act mercifully toward them or be kind to them.
12 너희 이스라엘 자손들아 그 날에 여호와께서 창일하는 하수에서부터 애굽 시내에까지 과실을 떠는 것 같이 너희를 일일이 모으시리라
[However], there will be a time when Yahweh will gather them together [again; he will separate them from the people who have conquered them, like people] separate wheat from chaff. He will bring them [back to Israel], one by one, from [the land between] the Euphrates River [in the northeast] and the brook at the border of Egypt [in the southwest].
13 그날에 큰 나팔을 울려 불리니 앗수르 땅에서 파멸케 된 자와 애굽 땅으로 쫓겨난 자가 돌아와서 예루살렘 성산에서 여호와께 경배하리라
At that time, a trumpet will be blown very loudly. And those who were exiled to Assyria and Egypt and who almost died there will return to Jerusalem, to worship Yahweh on [Zion], his holy hill.
