Isaia 25
Nuova Riveduta 1994
Lode al Signore
25 (A)Signore, tu sei il mio Dio;
io ti esalterò, loderò il tuo nome,
perché hai fatto cose meravigliose;
i tuoi disegni, concepiti da tempo, sono fedeli e stabili.
2 Poiché tu hai ridotto la città[a] in un mucchio di pietre,
la città forte in un monte di rovine;
il castello degli stranieri non è piú una città,
non sarà mai piú ricostruito.
3 Perciò il popolo forte ti glorifica,
le città delle nazioni possenti ti temono,
4 perché tu sei stato una fortezza per il povero,
una fortezza per l'indifeso nella sua angoscia,
un rifugio contro la tempesta,
un'ombra contro l'arsura;
poiché il soffio dei tiranni
era come una tempesta che batte la muraglia.
5 Come il calore è domato in una terra arida,
cosí tu hai domato il tumulto degli stranieri;
come il calore è diminuito dall'ombra d'una nuvola,
cosí il canto dei tiranni è stato attenuato.
6 (B)Il Signore degli eserciti preparerà per tutti i popoli su questo monte
un convito di cibi succulenti,
un convito di vini vecchi,
di cibi pieni di midollo,
di vini vecchi raffinati.
7 Distruggerà su quel monte il velo che copre la faccia di tutti i popoli
e la coperta stesa su tutte le nazioni.
8 Annienterà per sempre la morte;
il Signore, Dio, asciugherà le lacrime da ogni viso,
toglierà via da tutta la terra la vergogna del suo popolo,
perché il Signore ha parlato.
9 In quel giorno, si dirà:
«Ecco, questo è il nostro Dio; in lui abbiamo sperato,
ed egli ci ha salvati.
Questo è il Signore in cui abbiamo sperato;
esultiamo, rallegriamoci per la sua salvezza!»
10 Infatti la mano del Signore riposerà su questo monte,
mentre *Moab sarà trebbiato sulla sua terra
come si pigia la paglia nel letamaio.
11 Dal letamaio egli stenderà le mani
come le stende il nuotatore per nuotare,
ma il Signore farà cadere la sua superbia
con le trame che ha ordite.
12 Demolirà l'alta fortezza delle tue mura,
l'abbatterà fin nella polvere.

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.

Praise to God
25 O Lord, You are my God.
(A)I will exalt You,
I will praise Your name,
(B)For You have done wonderful things;
(C)Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For You have made (D)a city a ruin,
A fortified city a ruin,
A palace of foreigners to be a city no more;
It will never be rebuilt.
3 Therefore the strong people will (E)glorify You;
The city of the [a]terrible nations will fear You.
4 For You have been a strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
(F)A refuge from the storm,
A shade from the heat;
For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 You will reduce the noise of aliens,
As heat in a dry place;
As heat in the shadow of a cloud,
The song of the terrible ones will be [b]diminished.
6 And in (G)this mountain
(H)The Lord of hosts will make for (I)all people
A feast of [c]choice pieces,
A feast of [d]wines on the lees,
Of fat things full of marrow,
Of well-refined wines on the lees.
7 And He will destroy on this mountain
The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And (J)the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 He will (K)swallow up death forever,
And the Lord God will (L)wipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.
9 And it will be said in that day:
“Behold, this is our God;
(M)We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
(N)We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
10 For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,
And (O)Moab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
11 And He will spread out His hands in their midst
As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their (P)pride
Together with the trickery of their hands.
12 The (Q)fortress of the high fort of your walls
He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.
