Isaia 34
La Nuova Diodati
34 Avvicinatevi, o nazioni, per ascoltare, o popoli, fate attenzione. Ascolti la terra e tutto ciò che è in essa, il mondo e tutto ciò che produce.
2 Poiché l'Eterno è adirato contro tutte le nazioni, è sdegnato contro tutti i loro eserciti, egli le vota allo sterminio, le abbandona al massacro.
3 I loro uccisi saranno gettati via, i loro cadaveri esaleranno fetore e i monti si scioglieranno col loro sangue.
4 Tutto l'esercito del cielo si dissolverà, i cieli si arrotoleranno come un libro, ma tutto il loro esercito cadrà, come cade la foglia dalla vite, come cade un frutto appassito dal fico.
5 Poiché la mia spada si è inebriata nel cielo, ecco essa sta per piombare su Edom, sul popolo che ho votato allo sterminio, per fare giustizia.
6 La spada dell'Eterno è piena di sangue, è satolla di grasso, del sangue di agnelli e di capri, del grasso dei reni di montoni; poiché l'Eterno fa un sacrificio a Botsrah e un grande massacro nel paese di Edom.
7 Con essi cadono bufali, torelli insieme con tori; la loro terra è imbevuta di sangue, la loro polvere è satolla di grasso.
8 Poiché è il giorno della vendetta dell'Eterno, l'anno della retribuzione per la causa di Sion.
9 I torrenti saranno mutati in pece, la sua polvere in zolfo, la sua terra diventerà pece ardente.
10 Non si spegnerà né notte né giorno, il suo fumo salirà per sempre; rimarrà deserta di generazione in generazione, nessuno piú vi passerà.
11 Ne prenderanno possesso il pellicano e il porcospino e vi abiteranno la civetta e il corvo. L'Eterno stenderà su di essa la corda della desolazione, il livello del vuoto.
12 Chiameranno i nobili al regno, ma non ve ne sarà alcuno, e tutti i suoi principi saranno ridotti a nulla.
13 Nei suoi palazzi cresceranno le spine, nelle sue fortezze ortiche e cardi; diventerà una dimora di sciacalli, un recinto per gli struzzi.
14 Le bestie del deserto s'incontreranno con le bestie che ululano, i capri si chiameranno l'un l'altro; vi si stabiliranno anche le civette e vi troveranno un luogo di riposo.
15 Vi farà il suo nido il serpente-freccia, vi deporrà le uova, le farà schiudere e raccoglierà i suoi piccoli alla sua ombra; là si raduneranno anche gli avvoltoi, ciascuno col suo compagno.
16 Cercate nel libro dell'Eterno e leggete: nessuno di essi mancherà, nessuno sarà privo del suo compagno, perché la sua bocca l'ha comandato e il suo Spirito li ha radunati.
17 Egli stesso ha gettato la sorte per essi, e la sua mano lo ha diviso tra loro con la linea per misurare; lo possederanno per sempre, vi abiteranno di generazione in generazione.

Isaiah 34
World English Bible
34 Come near, you nations, to hear!
Listen, you peoples.
Let the earth and all it contains hear,
the world, and everything that comes from it.
2 For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations,
and angry with all their armies.
He has utterly destroyed them.
He has given them over for slaughter.
3 Their slain will also be cast out,
and the stench of their dead bodies will come up.
The mountains will melt in their blood.
4 All of the army of the sky will be dissolved.
The sky will be rolled up like a scroll,
and all its armies will fade away,
as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky.
Behold, it will come down on Edom,
and on the people of my curse, for judgment.
6 Yahweh’s sword is filled with blood.
It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams;
for Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 The wild oxen will come down with them,
and the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
and their land will be drunken with blood,
and their dust made greasy with fat.
8 For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 Its streams will be turned into pitch,
its dust into sulfur,
and its land will become burning pitch.
10 It won’t be quenched night or day.
Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation, it will lie waste.
No one will pass through it forever and ever.
11 But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it.
The owl and the raven will dwell in it.
He will stretch the line of confusion over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there;
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 Thorns will come up in its palaces,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses;
and it will be a habitation of jackals,
a court for ostriches.
14 The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves,
and the wild goat will cry to his fellow.
Yes, the night creature[a] shall settle there,
and shall find herself a place of rest.
15 The arrow snake will make her nest there,
and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade.
Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
16 Search in the book of Yahweh, and read:
not one of these will be missing.
None will lack her mate.
For my mouth has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 He has cast the lot for them,
and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line.
They shall possess it forever.
From generation to generation they will dwell in it.

Judgment Against the Nations
34 Come near, you nations, and listen;(A)
pay attention, you peoples!(B)
Let the earth(C) hear, and all that is in it,
the world, and all that comes out of it!(D)
2 The Lord is angry with all nations;
his wrath(E) is on all their armies.
He will totally destroy[a](F) them,
he will give them over to slaughter.(G)
3 Their slain(H) will be thrown out,
their dead bodies(I) will stink;(J)
the mountains will be soaked with their blood.(K)
4 All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(L)
and the heavens rolled up(M) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(N)
like withered(O) leaves from the vine,
like shriveled figs from the fig tree.
5 My sword(P) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(Q)
the people I have totally destroyed.(R)
6 The sword(S) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice(T) in Bozrah(U)
and a great slaughter(V) in the land of Edom.
7 And the wild oxen(W) will fall with them,
the bull calves and the great bulls.(X)
Their land will be drenched with blood,(Y)
and the dust will be soaked with fat.
8 For the Lord has a day(Z) of vengeance,(AA)
a year of retribution,(AB) to uphold Zion’s cause.
9 Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
her dust into burning sulfur;(AC)
her land will become blazing pitch!
10 It will not be quenched(AD) night or day;
its smoke will rise forever.(AE)
From generation to generation(AF) it will lie desolate;(AG)
no one will ever pass through it again.
11 The desert owl[b](AH) and screech owl[c] will possess it;
the great owl[d] and the raven(AI) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom(AJ)
the measuring line of chaos(AK)
and the plumb line(AL) of desolation.
12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
all her princes(AM) will vanish(AN) away.
13 Thorns(AO) will overrun her citadels,
nettles and brambles her strongholds.(AP)
She will become a haunt for jackals,(AQ)
a home for owls.(AR)
14 Desert creatures(AS) will meet with hyenas,(AT)
and wild goats will bleat to each other;
there the night creatures(AU) will also lie down
and find for themselves places of rest.
15 The owl will nest there and lay eggs,
she will hatch them, and care for her young
under the shadow of her wings;(AV)
there also the falcons(AW) will gather,
each with its mate.
16 Look in the scroll(AX) of the Lord and read:
None of these will be missing,(AY)
not one will lack her mate.
For it is his mouth(AZ) that has given the order,(BA)
and his Spirit will gather them together.
17 He allots their portions;(BB)
his hand distributes them by measure.
They will possess it forever
and dwell there from generation to generation.(BC)
