이사야 24

1여호와께서 땅을 공허하게 하시며 황무하게 하시며 뒤집어 엎으시고 그 거민을 흩으시리니 2백성과 제사장이 일반일 것이며 종과 상전이 일반일 것이며 비자와 가모가 일반일 것이며 사는 자와 파는 자가 일반일 것이며 채급하는 자와 채용하는 자가 일반일 것이며 이자를 받는 자와 이자를 내는 자가 일반일 것이라 3땅이 온전히 공허하게 되고 온전히 황무하게 되리라 여호와께서 이 말씀을 하셨느니라 4땅이 슬퍼하고 쇠잔하며 세계가 쇠약하고 쇠잔하며 세상 백성 중에 높은 자가 쇠약하며 5땅이 또한 그 거민 아래서 더럽게 되었으니 이는 그들이 율법을 범하며 율례를 어기며 영원한 언약을 파하였음이라 6그러므로 저주가 땅을 삼켰고 그 중에 거하는 자들이 정죄함을 당하였고 땅의 거민이 불타서 남은 자가 적으며 7새 포도즙이 슬퍼하고 포도나무가 쇠잔하며 마음이 즐겁던 자가 다 탄식하며 8소고치는 기쁨이 그치고 즐거워하는 자의 소리가 마치고 수금 타는 기쁨이 그쳤으며 9노래하며 포도주를 마시지 못하고 독주는 그 마시는 자에게 쓰게 될 것이며 10약탈을 당한 성읍이 훼파되고 집마다 닫히었고 들어가는 자가 없으며 11포도주가 없으므로 거리에서 부르짖으며 모든 즐거움이 암흑하여졌으며 땅의 기쁨이 소멸되었으며 12성읍이 황무하고 성문이 파괴되었느니라 13세계 민족 중에 이러한 일이 있으리니 곧 감람나무를 흔듦 같고 포도를 거둔 후에 그 남은 것을 주움 같을 것이니라 14무리가 소리를 높여 부를 것이며 여호와의 위엄을 인하여 바다에서부터 크게 외치리니 15그러므로 너희가 동방에서 여호와를 영화롭게 하며 바다 모든 섬에서 이스라엘 하나님 여호와의 이름을 영화롭게 할 것이라 16땅 끝에서부터 노래하는 소리가 우리에게 들리기를 의로우신 자에게 영광을 돌리세 하도다 그러나 나는 이르기를 나는 쇠잔하였고 나는 쇠잔하였으니 내게 화가 있도다 궤휼자가 궤휼을 행하도다 궤휼자가 심히 궤휼을 행하도다 하였도다 17땅의 거민아 두려움과 함정과 올무가 네게 임하였나니 18두려운 소리를 인하여 도망하는 자는 함정에 빠지겠고 함정 속에서 올라오는 자는 올무에 걸리리니 이는 위에 있는 문이 열리고 땅의 기초가 진동함이라 19땅이 깨어지고 깨어지며 땅이 갈라지고 땅이 흔들리고 흔들리며 20땅이 취한 자 같이 비틀비틀하며 침망 같이 흔들리며 그 위의 죄악이 중하므로 떨어지고 다시 일지 못하리라 21그 날에 여호와께서 높은 데서 높은 군대를 벌하시며 땅에서 땅 왕들을 벌하시리니 22그들이 죄수가 깊은 옥에 모임 같이 모음을 입고 옥에 갇혔다가 여러 날 후에 형벌을 받을 것이라 23그 때에 달이 무색하고 해가 부끄러워하리니 이는 만군의 여호와께서 시온산과 예루살렘에서 왕이 되시고 그 장로들 앞에서 영광을 나타내실 것임이니라

1Behold, Yahweh makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants. 2It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest. 3The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for Yahweh has spoken this word. 4The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish. 5The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant. 6Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. 7The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh. 8The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases. 9They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it. 10The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in. 11There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone. 12The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction. 13For it will be so in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done. 14These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea. 15Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea! 16From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously. 17Fear, the pit, and the snare, are on you who inhabitant the earth. 18It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble. 19The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently. 20The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again. 21It shall happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth. 22They shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited. 23Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders will be glory.

1Ziet, de HEERE maakt het land ledig, en Hij maakt het woest; en Hij keert deszelfs gestaltenis om, en Hij verstrooit zijn inwoners. 2En gelijk het volk, alzo zal de priester wezen; gelijk de knecht, alzo zijn heer; gelijk de dienstmaagd, alzo haar vrouw; gelijk de koper, alzo de verkoper; gelijk de lener, alzo de ontlener; gelijk de woekeraar, alzo die, van welken hij woeker ontvangt. 3Dat land zal ganselijk ledig gemaakt worden, en het zal ganselijk beroofd worden; want de HEERE heeft dit woord gesproken. 4Het land treurt, het verwelkt; het aardrijk kweelt, het verwelkt; de hoogsten van het volk des lands kwelen. 5Want het land is bevlekt vanwege zijn inwoners; want zij overtreden de wetten, zij veranderen de inzettingen, zij vernietigen het eeuwig verbond. 6Daarom verteert de vloek het land, en die daarin wonen, zullen verwoest worden; daarom zullen de inwoners des lands verbrand worden, en er zullen weinig mensen overblijven. 7De most treurt, de wijnstok kweelt, allen die blijhartig waren, zuchten. 8De vreugde der trommelen rust; het geluid der vrolijk huppelenden houdt op, de vreugde der harp rust. 9Zij zullen geen wijn drinken met gezang; de sterke drank zal bitter zijn dengenen, die hem drinken. 10De woeste stad is verbroken, al de huizen staan gesloten, dat er niemand inkomen kan. 11Er is een klagelijk geroep op de straten, om des wijns wil; alle blijdschap is verduisterd, de vreugde des lands is heengevaren. 12Verwoesting is in de stad overgebleven, en met gekraak wordt de poort in stukken verbroken. 13Want in het binnenste van het land, in het midden dezer volken, zal het alzo wezen, gelijk de afschudding des olijfbooms, gelijk de nalezingen, wanneer de wijnoogst geeindigd is. 14Die zullen hun stem opheffen, zij zullen vrolijk zingen; vanwege de heerlijkheid des HEEREN zullen zij juichen van de zee af. 15Daarom eert den HEERE in de valleien, in de eilanden der zee den Naam des HEEREN, des Gods van Israel. 16Van het uiterste einde der aarde horen wij psalmen, tot verheerlijking des Rechtvaardigen. Doch nu zeg ik: Ik word mager, ik word mager, wee mij! de trouwelozen handelen trouwelooslijk, en met trouweloosheid handelen de trouwelozen trouwelooslijk. 17De vrees, en de kuil, en de strik over u, o inwoners des lands! 18En het zal geschieden, zo wie voor de stem der vreze vlieden zal, die zal in den kuil vallen; en die uit den kuil opklimt, die zal in den strik gevangen worden; want de sluizen in de hoogte zijn opengedaan, en de fondamenten der aarde zullen beven. 19De aarde zal ganselijk verbroken worden, de aarde zal ganselijk vaneen gescheurd worden, de aarde zal ganselijk bewogen worden. 20De aarde zal ganselijk waggelen, gelijk een dronkaard, en zij zal heen en weder bewogen worden, gelijk een nachthut; en haar overtreding zal zwaar op haar zijn, en zij zal vallen, en niet weder opstaan. 21En het zal geschieden te dien dage, dat de HEERE bezoeking doen zal over de heirscharen des hogen in de hoogte, en over de koningen des aardbodems op den aardbodem. 22En zij zullen samenvergaderd worden, gelijk de gevangenen in een put, en zij zullen besloten worden in een gevangenis, maar na vele dagen weder bezocht worden. 23En de maan zal schaamrood worden, en de zon zal beschaamd worden, als de HEERE der heirscharen regeren zal op den berg Sion en te Jeruzalem, en voor zijn oudsten zal heerlijkheid zijn.
