바빌론에 대한 예언

13 이것은 아모스의 아들 이사야가 바빌론에 대하여 하나님께 받은 말씀이다:

이스라엘아, 너희는 벌거숭이 산꼭대기에 기를 세우고 군인들에게 소리치고 손을 흔들어 [a]바빌론 귀족들의 집을 공격하라는 신호를 보내라.

여호와께서 용감한 자기 군대를 불러 그를 노하게 한 자를 벌하게 하실 것이다.

산에서 떠들어대는 소리를 들어 보라. 여러 민족이 모여서 떠드는 소리이니 전능하신 여호와께서 전쟁을 위하여 군대를 소집하는 소리이다.

그들은 바빌론을 치기 위해 멀리 땅 끝에서 왔으니 여호와의 분노를 터뜨릴 무기이다.

너희는 통곡하라! 여호와의 날이 가까웠다. 전능하신 여호와께서 너희를 파멸시키실 것이다.

모든 사람들이 두려워서 손에 힘이 빠지고 용기를 잃게 될 것이다.

그들은 모두 두려워하며 공포와 슬픔에 사로잡혀 해산하는 여자처럼 몸부림치고 서로 놀라 바라보며 겁에 질린 나머지 그들의 [b]얼굴빛이 새파랗게 될 것이다.

여호와의 날이 다가오고 있으니 땅을 황폐하게 하고 죄인들을 멸망시킬 잔인한 분노의 날이다.

10 하늘의 모든 별들이 빛을 내지 않을 것이며 해가 떠올라도 어둡고 달도 빛을 내지 않을 것이다.

11 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “내가 세상에 재앙을 내려 악인들의 죄에 대하여 그들을 벌할 것이며 교만한 자들의 콧대를 꺾고 거만하고 잔인한 자들을 낮출 것이니

12 살아 남는 자들은 극소수에 불과하여 오빌의 순금보다 더 희귀할 것이다.

13 전능한 나 여호와가 무서운 분노로 하늘을 진동시키고 땅을 흔들어 제자리에서 움직이게 할 것이다.

14 바빌론에 살고 있는 외국인들은 사냥꾼에 쫓기는 노루나 목자 없는 양처럼 뿔뿔이 흩어져 자기 나라로 달아날 것이다.

15 침략군에게 붙들리는 사람은 누구든지 무자비하게 학살당할 것이며

16 그들의 어린 아이들은 그들이 보는 앞에서 메어침을 당하고 그들의 집은 약탈당하며 그들의 아내는 강간당할 것이다.

17 “보라! 내가 은이나 금을 대수롭지 않게 여기는 메디아 사람을 충동하여 바빌론을 치게 하겠다.

18 그들은 활로 젊은 사람들을 죽일 것이며 젖먹이나 어린 아이들도 불쌍히 여기지 않고 무자비하게 죽일 것이다.

19 바빌로니아는 모든 나라 중에서도 가장 화려한 나라이며 갈대아 사람들의 자랑거리이지만 소돔과 고모라처럼 멸망당할 것이다.

20 다시는 그 땅에 사람이 살지 않을 것이며 아랍의 유목민들도 그 곳에 천막을 치지 않고 목자들도 거기서 양떼를 먹이지 않을 것이다.

21 그 땅은 사막의 짐승들이 사는 곳이 될 것이며 가옥에는 올빼미가 득실거리고 타조가 거기서 살며 폐허가 된 땅에 들염소가 뛰어다니고

22 그들의 요새와 호화로운 궁전에는 늑대와 여우의 울음 소리가 메아리칠 것이다. 바빌론이 망할 때가 되었으니 그 날이 머지않았다.”

A Prophecy Against Babylon

13 A prophecy(A) against Babylon(B) that Isaiah son of Amoz(C) saw:(D)

Raise a banner(E) on a bare hilltop,
    shout to them;
beckon to them
    to enter the gates(F) of the nobles.
I have commanded those I prepared for battle;
    I have summoned my warriors(G) to carry out my wrath(H)
    those who rejoice(I) in my triumph.

Listen, a noise on the mountains,
    like that of a great multitude!(J)
Listen, an uproar(K) among the kingdoms,
    like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty(L) is mustering(M)
    an army for war.
They come from faraway lands,
    from the ends of the heavens(N)
the Lord and the weapons(O) of his wrath(P)
    to destroy(Q) the whole country.

Wail,(R) for the day(S) of the Lord is near;
    it will come like destruction(T) from the Almighty.[a](U)
Because of this, all hands will go limp,(V)
    every heart will melt with fear.(W)
Terror(X) will seize them,
    pain and anguish will grip(Y) them;
    they will writhe like a woman in labor.(Z)
They will look aghast at each other,
    their faces aflame.(AA)

See, the day(AB) of the Lord is coming
    —a cruel(AC) day, with wrath(AD) and fierce anger(AE)
to make the land desolate
    and destroy the sinners within it.
10 The stars of heaven and their constellations
    will not show their light.(AF)
The rising sun(AG) will be darkened(AH)
    and the moon will not give its light.(AI)
11 I will punish(AJ) the world for its evil,
    the wicked(AK) for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty(AL)
    and will humble(AM) the pride of the ruthless.(AN)
12 I will make people(AO) scarcer than pure gold,
    more rare than the gold of Ophir.(AP)
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;(AQ)
    and the earth will shake(AR) from its place
at the wrath(AS) of the Lord Almighty,
    in the day of his burning anger.(AT)

14 Like a hunted(AU) gazelle,
    like sheep without a shepherd,(AV)
they will all return to their own people,
    they will flee(AW) to their native land.(AX)
15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
    all who are caught will fall(AY) by the sword.(AZ)
16 Their infants(BA) will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
    their houses will be looted and their wives violated.(BB)

17 See, I will stir up(BC) against them the Medes,(BD)
    who do not care for silver
    and have no delight in gold.(BE)
18 Their bows(BF) will strike down the young men;(BG)
    they will have no mercy(BH) on infants,
    nor will they look with compassion on children.(BI)
19 Babylon,(BJ) the jewel of kingdoms,(BK)
    the pride and glory(BL) of the Babylonians,[b]
will be overthrown(BM) by God
    like Sodom and Gomorrah.(BN)
20 She will never be inhabited(BO)
    or lived in through all generations;
there no nomads(BP) will pitch their tents,
    there no shepherds will rest their flocks.
21 But desert creatures(BQ) will lie there,
    jackals(BR) will fill her houses;
there the owls(BS) will dwell,
    and there the wild goats(BT) will leap about.
22 Hyenas(BU) will inhabit her strongholds,(BV)
    jackals(BW) her luxurious palaces.
Her time is at hand,(BX)
    and her days will not be prolonged.(BY)

13 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.

The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.

15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
