이사야 26

1그 날에 유다 땅에서 이 노래를 부르리라 우리에게 견고한 성읍이 있음이여 여호와께서 구원으로 성과 곽을 삼으시리로다 2너희는 문들을 열고 신을 지키는 의로운 나라로 들어오게 할지어다 3주께서 심지가 견고한 자를 평강에 평강으로 지키시리니 이는 그가 주를 의뢰함이니이다 4너희는 여호와를 영원히 의뢰하라 주 여호와는 영원한 반석이심이로다 5높은 데 거하는 자를 낮추시며 솟은 성을 헐어 땅에 엎으시되 진토에 미치게 하셨도다 6발이 그것을 밟으리니 곧 빈궁한 자의 발과 곤핍한 자의 걸음이리로다 7의인의 길은 정직함이여 정직하신 주께서 의인의 첩경을 평탄케 하시도다 8여호와여 주의 심판하시는 길에서 우리가 주를 기다렸사오며 주의 이름 곧 주의 기념 이름을 우리 영혼이 사모하나이다 9밤에 내 영혼이 주를 사모하였사온즉 내 중심이 주를 간절히 구하오리니 이는 주께서 땅에서 심판하시는 때에 세계의 거민이 의를 배움이니이다 10악인은 은총을 입을지라도 의를 배우지 아니하며 정직한 땅에서 불의를 행하고 여호와의 위엄을 돌아보지 아니하는도다 11여호와여 주의 손이 높이 들릴지라도 그들이 보지 아니하나이다마는 백성을 위하시는 주의 열성을 보면 부끄러워할 것이라 불이 주의 대적을 사르리이다 12여호와여 주께서 우리를 위하여 평강을 베푸시오리니 주께서 우리 모든 일을 우리를 위하여 이루심이니이다 13여호와 우리 하나님이시여 주 외에 다른 주들이 우리를 관할하였사오나 우리가 주만 의뢰하고 주의 이름을 부르리이다 14그들은 죽었은즉 다시 살지 못하겠고 사망하였은즉 일어나지 못할 것이니 이는 주께서 벌하여 멸하사 그 모든 기억을 멸절하였음이니이다 15여호와여 주께서 이 나라를 더 크게 하셨고 이 나라를 더 크게 하셨나이다 스스로 영광을 얻으시고 이 땅의 모든 경계를 확장하셨나이다 16여호와여 백성이 환난 중에 주를 앙모하였사오며 주의 징벌이 그들에게 임할 때에 그들이 간절히 주께 기도하였나이다 17여호와여 잉태한 여인이 산기가 임박하여 구로하며 부르짖음 같이 우리가 주의 앞에 이러하니이다 18우리가 잉태하고 고통하였을지라도 낳은 것은 바람 같아서 땅에 구원을 베풀지 못하였고 세계의 거민을 생산치 못하였나이다 19주의 죽은 자들은 살아나고 우리의 시체들은 일어나리이다 티끌에 거하는 자들아 너희는 깨어 노래하라 주의 이슬은 빛난 이슬이니 땅이 죽은 자를 내어 놓으리로다 20내 백성아 갈지어다 네 밀실에 들어가서 네 문을 닫고 분노가 지나기까지 잠간 숨을지어다 21보라 여호와께서 그 처소에서 나오사 땅의 거민의 죄악을 벌하실 것이라 땅이 그 위에 잦았던 피를 드러내고 그 살해당한 자를 다시는 가리우지 아니하리라

1In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks. 2Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith. 3You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you. 4Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock. 5For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust. 6The foot shall tread it down; Even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.” 7The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level. 8Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul. 9With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. 10Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see Yahweh’s majesty. 11Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries. 12Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us. 13Yahweh our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name. 14The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish. 15You have increased the nation, O Yahweh. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land. 16Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them. 17Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, Yahweh. 18We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. 19Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits. 20Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past. 21For, behold, Yahweh comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.

1Te dien dage zal dit lied gezongen worden in het land van Juda; Wij hebben een sterke stad, God stelt heil tot muren en voorschansen. 2Doet de poorten open, dat het rechtvaardige volk daarin ga, hetwelk de getrouwigheden bewaart. 3Het is een bevestigd voornemen, Gij zult allerlei vrede bewaren, want men heeft op U vertrouwd. 4Vertrouwt op den HEERE tot in der eeuwigheid; want in den Heere HEERE is een eeuwige rotssteen. 5Want Hij buigt de hooggezetenen neder, de verheven stad; Hij vernedert ze, Hij vernedert ze tot de aarde toe, Hij doet ze tot aan het stof reiken. 6De voet zal ze vertreden, de voeten des ellendigen, de treden der armen. 7Het pad des rechtvaardigen is geheel effen, den gang des rechtvaardigen weegt Gij recht. 8Wij hebben ook in den weg Uwer gerichten, U, o HEERE! verwacht; tot Uw Naam en tot Uw gedachtenis is de begeerte onzer ziel. 9Met mijn ziel heb ik U begeerd in den nacht, ook zal ik met mijn geest, die in het binnenste van mij is, U vroeg zoeken; want wanneer Uw gerichten op de aarde zijn, zo leren de inwoners der wereld gerechtigheid. 10Wordt den goddeloze genade bewezen, hij leert evenwel geen gerechtigheid, hij drijft onrecht in een gans richtig land, en hij ziet de hoogheid des HEEREN niet aan. 11HEERE! is Uw hand verhoogd, zij zien het niet; maar zij zullen het zien, en beschaamd worden, vanwege den ijver over Uw volk, ook zal het vuur Uw wederpartijders verteren. 12HEERE! Gij zult ons vrede bestellen, want Gij hebt ons ook al onze zaken uitgericht. 13HEERE, onze God! andere heren, behalve Gij, hebben over ons geheerst; doch door U alleen gedenken wij Uws Naams. 14Dood zijnde zullen zij niet weder leven, overleden zijnde zullen zij niet opstaan; daarom hebt Gij hen bezocht, en hebt hen verdelgd, en Gij hebt al hun gedachtenis doen vergaan. 15Gij, o HEERE! hadt dit volk vermeerderd, Gij hadt dit volk vermeerderd; Gij waart verheerlijkt geworden; maar Gij hebt hen in al de einden des aardrijks verre weggedaan. 16HEERE! in benauwdheid hebben zij U bezocht; zij hebben hun stil gebed uitgestort, als Uw tuchtiging over hen was. 17Gelijk een bevruchte vrouw, als zij nadert tot het baren, smarten heeft, en schreeuwt in haar weeen, alzo zijn wij geweest, o HEERE! vanwege Uw aangezicht. 18Wij waren bevrucht, wij hadden de smarten, maar wij hebben niet dan wind gebaard; wij deden het land geen behoudenis aan, en de inwoners der wereld vielen niet neder. 19Uw doden zullen leven, ook mijn dood lichaam, zij zullen opstaan; waakt op en juicht, gij, die in het stof woont! want uw dauw zal zijn als een dauw der moeskruiden, en het land zal de overledenen uitwerpen. 20Ga henen, mijn volk! ga in uw binnenste kamers, en sluit uw deuren na u toe; verberg u als een klein ogenblik, totdat de gramschap overga. 21Want ziet, de HEERE zal uit Zijn plaats uitgaan, om de ongerechtigheid van de inwoners der aarde over hen te bezoeken; en de aarde zal haar bloed ontdekken, en zal haar doodgeslagenen niet langer bedekt houden.
