이사야 54

1잉태치 못하며 생산치 못한 너는 노래할지어다 구로치 못한 너는 외쳐 노래할지어다 홀로 된 여인의 자식이 남편 있는 자의 자식보다 많음이니라 여호와의 말이니라 2네 장막터를 넓히며 네 처소의 휘장을 아끼지 말고 널리 펴되 너의 줄을 길게 하며 너의 말뚝을 견고히 할지어다 3이는 네가 좌우로 퍼지며 네 자손은 열방을 얻으며 황폐한 성읍들로 사람 살 곳이 되게 할 것임이니라 4두려워 말라 네가 수치를 당치 아니하리라 놀라지 말라 네가 부끄러움을을 보지 아니하니라 네가 네 청년 때의 수치를 잊겠고 과부 때의 치욕을 다시 기억함이 없으리니 5이는 너를 지으신 자는 네 남편이시라 그 이름은 만군의 여호와시며 네 구속자는 이스라엘의 거룩한 자시라 온 세상의 하나님이라 칭함을 받으실 것이며 6여호와께서 너를 부르시되 마치 버림을 입어 마음에 근심하는 아내 곧 소시에 아내 되었다가 버림을 입은 자에게 함 같이 하실 것임이니라 네 하나님의 말씀이니라 7내가 잠시 너를 버렸으나 큰 긍휼로 너를 모을 것이요 8내가 넘치는 진노로 내 얼굴을 네게서 잠시 가리웠으나 영원한 자비로 너를 긍휼히 여기리라 네 구속자 여호와의 말이니라 9이는 노아의 홍수에 비하리로다 내가 다시는 노아의 홍수로 땅 위에 범람치 않게 하리라 맹세한 것 같이 내가 다시는 너를 노하지 아니하며 다시는 너를 책망하지 아니하기로 맹세하였노니 10산들은 떠나며 작은 산들은 옮길지라도 나의 인자는 네게서 떠나지 아니하며 화평케 하는 나의 언약은 옮기지 아니하리라 너를 긍휼히 여기는 여호와의 말이니라 11너 곤고하며 광풍에 요동하여 안위를 받지 못한 자여 보라 내가 화려한 채색으로 네 돌 사이에 더하며 청옥으로 네 기초를 쌓으며 12홍보석으로 네 성첩을 지으며 석류석으로 네 성문을 만들고 네 지경을 다 보석으로 꾸밀 것이며 13네 모든 자녀는 여호와의 교훈을 받을 것이니 네 자녀는 크게 평강할 것이며 14너는 의로 설 것이며 학대가 네게서 멀어질 것인즉 네가 두려워 아니할 것이며 공포 그것도 너를 가까이 못할 것이라 15그들이 모일지라도 나로 말미암지 아니한 것이니 누구든지 모여 너를 치는 자는 너를 인하여 패망하리라 16숯불을 불어서 자기가 쓸만한 기계를 제조하는 장인도 내가 창조하였고 파괴하며 진멸하는 자도 내가 창조하였은즉 17무릇 너를 치려고 제조된 기계가 날카롭지 못할 것이라 무릇 일어나 너를 대적하여 송사하는 혀는 네게 정죄를 당하리니 이는 여호와의 종들의 기업이요 이는 그들이 내게서 얻은 의니라 여호와의 말이니라

1“Sing, barren, you who didn’t bear; break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says Yahweh. 2“Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. 3For you shall spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 4“Don’t be afraid; for you shall not be ashamed: neither be confounded; for you shall not be disappointed: for you shall forget the shame of your youth; and the reproach of your widowhood you shall remember no more. 5For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called. 6For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God. 7“For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you. 8In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness will I have mercy on you,” says Yahweh your Redeemer. 9“For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. 10For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed,” says Yahweh who has mercy on you. 11“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires. 12I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. 13All your children shall be taught of Yahweh; and great shall be the peace of your children. 14In righteousness you shall be established: you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. 15Behold, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of you. 16“Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings out a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. 17No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness which is of me,” says Yahweh.

1Zing vrolijk, gij onvruchtbare, die niet gebaard hebt! maak geschal met vrolijk gezang, en juich, die geen barensnood gehad hebt! want de kinderen der eenzame zijn meer, dan de kinderen der getrouwde, zegt de HEERE. 2Maak de plaats uwer tenten wijd, en dat men de gordijnen uwer woningen uitbreide, verhinder het niet; maak uw koorden lang, en steek uw pinnen vast in. 3Want gij zult uitbreken ter rechterhand en ter linkerhand; en uw zaad zal de heidenen erven, en zij zullen de verwoeste steden doen bewonen. 4Vrees niet, want gij zult niet beschaamd worden, en word niet schaamrood, want gij zult niet te schande worden; maar gij zult de schaamte uwer jonkheid vergeten, en den smaad uws weduwschaps zult gij niet meer gedenken. 5Want uw Maker is uw Man, HEERE der heirscharen is Zijn Naam; en de Heilige Israels is uw Verlosser; Hij zal de God des gansen aardbodems genaamd worden. 6Want de HEERE heeft u geroepen, als een verlaten vrouw en bedroefde van geest; nochtans zijt gij de huisvrouw der jeugd, hoewel gij versmaad zijt geweest, zegt uw God. 7Voor een klein ogenblik heb Ik u verlaten; maar met grote ontfermingen zal Ik u vergaderen. 8In een kleinen toorn heb Ik Mijn aangezicht van u een ogenblik verborgen; maar met eeuwige goedertierenheid zal Ik Mij uwer ontfermen, zegt de HEERE, uw Verlosser. 9Want dat zal Mij zijn als de wateren van Noach, toen Ik zwoer, dat de wateren van Noach niet meer over de aarde zouden gaan; alzo heb Ik gezworen, dat Ik niet meer op u toornen, noch u schelden zal. 10Want bergen zullen wijken, en heuvelen wankelen; maar Mijn goedertierenheid zal van u niet wijken, en het verbond Mijns vredes zal niet wankelen, zegt de HEERE, uw Ontfermer. 11Gij verdrukte, door onweder voortgedrevene, ongetrooste! zie, Ik zal uw stenen gans sierlijk leggen, en Ik zal u op saffieren grondvesten. 12En uw glasvensters zal Ik kristallijnen maken, en uw poorten van robijnstenen, en uw ganse landpale van aangename stenen. 13En al uw kinderen zullen van den HEERE geleerd zijn, en de vrede uwer kinderen zal groot zijn. 14Gij zult door gerechtigheid bevestigd worden; wees verre van verdrukking, want gij zult niet vrezen; en verre van verschrikking, want zij zal tot u niet naken. 15Ziet, zij zullen zich zekerlijk vergaderen, doch niet uit Mij; wie zich tegen u vergaderen zal, die zal om uwentwil vallen. 16Zie, Ik heb den smid geschapen, die de kolen in het vuur opblaast, en die het instrument voortbrengt tot zijn werk; ook heb Ik den verderver geschapen, om te vernielen. 17Alle instrument, dat tegen u bereid wordt, zal niet gelukken, en alle tong, die in gericht tegen u opstaat, zult gij verdoemen; dit is de erve der knechten des HEEREN, en hun gerechtigheid is uit Mij, spreekt de HEERE.
