Isaia 25
La Nuova Diodati
25 O Eterno, tu sei il mio DIO; io ti esalterò e celebrerò il tuo nome, perché hai fatto cose meravigliose, disegni concepiti molto tempo fa e adempiuti in fedeltà e verità.
2 Poiché hai ridotto la città a un mucchio di pietre, la città fortificata a un cumulo di rovine; la cittadella degli stranieri non è piú una città, non sarà mai piú ricostruita.
3 Perciò il popolo forte ti glorifica, la città di nazioni potenti ti teme.
4 perché tu sei stato una fortezza per il povero, una fortezza per il misero nella sua avversità, un rifugio contro la tempesta, un'ombra contro il caldo poiché il soffio dei tiranni è come una tempesta contro il muro.
5 Tu ridurrai il tumulto degli stranieri come il calore in un luogo arido; come il calore nell'ombra di una nuvola, cosí il canto dei tiranni sarà fatto tacere.
6 L'Eterno degli eserciti preparerà su questo monte a tutti i popoli un banchetto di cibi succulenti, un banchetto di vini vecchi, di cibi succulenti pieni di midollo, di vini vecchi e raffinati.
7 Distruggerà su questo monte la coltre che copriva tutti i popoli, e la coperta stesa su tutte le nazioni.
8 Distruggerà per sempre la morte; il Signore, l'Eterno asciugherà le lacrime da ogni viso, toglierà via da tutta la terra il vituperio del suo popolo, perché l'Eterno ha parlato.
9 In quel giorno si dirà: «Ecco, questo è il nostro DIO: in lui abbiamo sperato ed egli ci salverà. Questo è l'Eterno in cui abbiamo sperato; esultiamo e rallegriamoci nella sua salvezza!».
10 Poiché la mano dell'Eterno si poserà su questo monte, mentre Moab sarà calpestato sotto di lui come si calpesta la paglia su un letamaio.
11 Egli stenderà le sue mani nel suo mezzo, come le distende il nuotatore per nuotare, e abbasserà la sua superbia assieme alle macchinazioni ordite dalle sue mani.
12 La fortezza delle tue alte mura, egli la demolirà, l'abbatterà, la getterà a terra fin giú nella polvere.

A song to thank God
25 Lord, you are my God!
I will praise you
because your name is great.
You have done wonderful things.
You decided a long time ago what you would do.
And you have done exactly what you promised to do.
2 You have destroyed cities
so that they become a heap of stones.
You have destroyed the strongest cities.
The beautiful palaces in foreign lands have disappeared.
Nobody will build them again.
3 So people of strong nations will praise you.
The people of cruel nations will be afraid of you.
4 You Lord have been a safe place for poor people.
When helpless people were in trouble,
you have kept them safe.
You were a place for them to hide from the storm.
You gave them shade from the heat.
Yes, cruel people attack them
like a storm that hits against a wall.
5 and like strong heat in the desert.
You Lord stopped the proud noise of foreign people.
Like the shadow of a cloud that stops the heat of the sun,
you stopped our cruel enemy's songs.
You stopped them as they boasted of their strength.
6 The Lord Almighty will prepare a feast on this mountain.[a]
It will be a feast for all the nations of the world.
It will be a great feast, with plenty of meat and wine.
The best meat and the best wine will be there.
7 On this mountain the Lord will take away the things
that make all people sad.
He will remove the cloth
that covers the people of all nations.
8 The Almighty Lord will destroy death for ever.
He will clean away the tears in everyone's eyes.
His people will not feel ashamed any more.
Nobody in all the world will ever insult them again.
That is what the Lord has said.
9 At that time, people will say,
‘Look! This is our God!
We trusted him to keep us safe,
and he rescued us.
Yes, this is the Lord!
We trusted him to keep us safe.
We will sing with joy,
because he has saved us.’
10 The Lord's power will bless this mountain.
He will knock down Moab's people
and he will walk all over them.
He will walk on them,
as if they are straw in a heap of dung.
11 Moab's people will try to escape from that punishment.
They will push with their hands as they try to swim out!
But the Lord will make their proud strength useless,
whatever they do to escape.
12 He will knock down the high walls of Moab's city.
He will completely destroy their strong place.
It will all fall down into the dust on the ground.

Isaiah 25
King James Version
Isaiah 25
King James Version
25 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

Praise to the Lord
25 Lord, you are my God;(A)
I will exalt you and praise your name,(B)
for in perfect faithfulness(C)
you have done wonderful things,(D)
things planned(E) long ago.
2 You have made the city a heap of rubble,(F)
the fortified(G) town a ruin,(H)
the foreigners’ stronghold(I) a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.(J)
3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you;(K)
cities of ruthless(L) nations will revere you.
4 You have been a refuge(M) for the poor,(N)
a refuge for the needy(O) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm(P)
and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless(Q)
is like a storm driving against a wall
5 and like the heat of the desert.
You silence(R) the uproar of foreigners;(S)
as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless(T) is stilled.
6 On this mountain(U) the Lord Almighty will prepare
a feast(V) of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
the best of meats and the finest of wines.(W)
7 On this mountain he will destroy
the shroud(X) that enfolds all peoples,(Y)
the sheet that covers all nations;
8 he will swallow up death(Z) forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears(AA)
from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace(AB)
from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.(AC)
9 In that day(AD) they will say,
“Surely this is our God;(AE)
we trusted(AF) in him, and he saved(AG) us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice(AH) and be glad in his salvation.”(AI)
10 The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain;(AJ)
but Moab(AK) will be trampled in their land
as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will stretch out their hands in it,
as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim.
God will bring down(AL) their pride(AM)
despite the cleverness[a] of their hands.
12 He will bring down your high fortified walls(AN)
and lay them low;(AO)
he will bring them down to the ground,
to the very dust.
