Isaiah 10
Modern English Version
Isaiah 10
Modern English Version
10 Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees
and who write unjust judgments which they have prescribed
2 to turn aside the needy from justice
and to take away the right from the poor of My people,
that widows may be their prey,
and that they may rob the fatherless!
3 And what will you do in the day of punishment
and in the desolation which shall come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help,
and where will you leave your wealth?
4 Nothing remains but to bow down among the prisoners,
and they shall fall among the slain.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
and His hand is stretched out still.
Judgment on Assyria
5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
and the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,
and against the people of My wrath I will give him a command,
to seize the plunder, to take the prey,
and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 However he does not so intend,
nor does he plan so in his heart;
but his purpose is to destroy
and to cut off many nations.
8 For he says, “Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 Is not Kalno as Carchemish?
Is not Hamath as Arpad?
Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols
whose graven images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols,
so do to Jerusalem and her idols?”
12 When the Lord has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria and the glory of his high looks.” 13 For he says:
“By the strength of my hand and by my wisdom,
I have done it, for I am prudent;
and I have removed the bounds of the people,
and have robbed their treasures,
and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.
14 And my hand has found as a nest
the riches of the people,
and as one gathers eggs that are left,
I have gathered all the earth
and there was no one who moved the wing
or opened the mouth or peeped.”
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him who hews with it?
Or shall the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
That is as if the rod wields itself against those who lift it up,
or as if the staff should lift itself up as if it were not wood.
16 Therefore the Lord, God of Hosts,
shall send leanness among his stout ones,
and under his glory he shall kindle a burning
like the burning of a fire.
17 The light of Israel shall be a fire,
and his Holy One a flame,
and it shall burn and devour
his thorns and his briers in one day,
18 and shall consume the glory of his forest,
and of his fruitful field, both soul and body;
and it shall be as when a sick man faints.
19 The rest of the trees of his forest shall be so few
that a child may write them down.
The Returning Remnant of Israel
20 In that day the remnant of Israel
and those who have escaped of the house of Jacob
shall never again depend on him
who struck them,
but shall depend on the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob,
to the mighty God.
22 For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea,
yet a remnant of them shall return;
the destruction is decreed,
overflowing with righteousness.
23 For the Lord God of Hosts shall make a complete destruction,
as decreed, in the midst of all the land.
24 Therefore, thus says the Lord God of Hosts:
O My people who dwell in Zion,
do not be afraid of the Assyrian.
He shall strike you with a rod
and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease,
and My anger will be directed to their destruction.
26 The Lord of Hosts shall stir up a scourge for him
according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb;
and as His rod was over the sea, so shall He lift it up
after the manner of Egypt.
27 In that day his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder,
and his yoke from off your neck;
and the yoke shall be destroyed
because of the anointing oil.
28 He has come against Aiath,
he has passed through Migron;
at Mikmash he has laid up his carriages.
29 They are gone over the pass,
they have taken up their lodging at Geba.
Ramah is afraid,
Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim.
Listen, Laishah
and poor Anathoth.
31 Madmenah has fled,
the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 Yet today he shall remain at Nob;
he shakes his fist
against the mount of the daughter of Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33 See, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts,
shall lop the bough with terror;
and the tall ones of stature shall be hewn down,
and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
and Lebanon shall fall by the Mighty One.
Исая 10
Библия, ревизирано издание
Исая 10
Библия, ревизирано издание
10 (A)Горко на тези, които постановяват неправедни наредби,
и на писачите, които пишат извратеност,
2 за да лишат сиромасите от правосъдието
и да отнемат правото на сиромасите от народа Ми,
така че вдовиците да им станат плячка
и те да съблекат сирачетата!
3 (B)И какво ще направите в деня, когато ще бъдете наказани[a],
и в опустошението, което ще дойде отдалеч?
Към кого ще прибягвате за помощ?
И къде ще оставите славата си?
4 (C)Нищо не им остава освен да се наведат между пленниците
и да паднат под убитите.
При все това гневът Му не се отвърна,
а ръката Му е още протегната.
Присъдата над Асирия
5 (D)Горко на асириеца, жезъла на гнева Ми,
тоягата, в чиято ръка е Моето негодувание!
6 (E)Ще го изпратя против един нечестив народ
и ще му дам заръка против народа, на който се гневя,
за да извърши грабеж и да улови плячка,
и да ги стъпче като калта по пътищата.
7 (F)Обаче намерението му не е да направи така,
нито мисли така сърцето му;
а в сърцето му е
да съсипе и да изтреби не малко народи.
8 (G)Защото казва: Всичките Ми князе не са ли царе?
9 (H)Халне не е ли както Кархемис?
Емат не е ли както Арфад?
Самария не е ли както Дамаск?
10 Както ръката ми е стигнала царствата на идолите,
чиито изваяни идоли бяха повече от йерусалимските и самарийските,
11 няма ли да направя на Йерусалим и на неговите кумири,
както направих на Самария и на нейните идоли?
12 (I)Затова, когато Господ завърши цялото Си дело
над хълма Сион и над Йерусалим,
ще накажа, казва Той, плода на надменното сърце на асирийския цар
и славенето на надигнатите му погледи.
13 (J)Защото той казва:
Със силата на своята ръка извърших това
и с мъдростта си, понеже съм разумен;
и преместих границите на народите,
разграбих съкровищата им
и като силен свалих седящите нависоко;
14 (K)и ръката ми намери, като гнездо, богатството на племената;
и както някой събира оставени яйца, така аз събрах целия свят.
И никой не поклати крило, не отвори уста, нито нададе звук.
15 (L)Дали секирата ще се възвеличава против този,
който сече с нея?
Ще се големее ли трионът против този, който го движи? –
Като че ли жезълът би поклатил тези, които го вдигат.
Или тоягата би повдигнала този, който не е дърво!
16 (M)Затова Господ, Господ на Силите,
ще прати на тлъстите му мършавост
и под славата му ще се запали пожар
като пожар от огън.
17 (N)Светлината на Израил ще бъде за огън
и Святият Негов – за пламък;
и ще изгори и пояде тръните му
и глоговете му в един ден;
18 (O)ще погуби и славата на гората му и на плодовитото му поле,
и душа, и тяло;
и ще бъде, както когато изнемощее болен.
19 А останалите дървета от гората му ще са малко,
дотолкова, че да може дете да ги запише.
20 (P)И в онзи ден останалите от Израил и избавените от Якововия дом
няма вече да се облягат на този, който ги порази,
а ще се облягат с истина на Господа, Святия Израилев.
21 (Q)Останалото, останалото от Яков,
ще се обърне към могъщия Бог,
22 (R)защото, ако и да е народът ти, Израилю, като морския пясък,
само остатък от тях ще се върне;
взето е решение за погубване, препълнено с Божията правда.
23 (S)Защото Господ, Бог на Силите, ще извърши
според решението погубване над цялата страна.
24 (T)Затова така казва Господ, Бог на Силите:
Народе Мой, който живееш в Сион,
не се бойте от асириеца,
дори и да ви удари с жезъл
и вдигне тоягата си против вас,
според както я издигна над Египет;
25 (U)защото още твърде малко – и негодуването Ми ще престане
и гневът Ми ще се обърне за тяхна погибел.
26 (V)И Господ на Силите ще подбуди против него бич,
както в порязването на Мадиам при канарата Орив;
и жезълът му ще се издигне над морето
и ще го възвиси, както го възвиси над Египет.
27 (W)В онзи ден товарът му ще се премести от плещите ти
и хомотът му – от врата ти,
и хомотът ще се строши поради помазанието ти.
28 Той дойде в Гаят, мина през Мигрон,
в Михмас разтваря вещите си.
29 (X)Минаха през прохода, нощуваха в Гава;
Рама трепери, Гавая Саулова се разбягва.
30 (Y)Извикай с висок глас, Галимова дъще!
Слушай, Лаисе! И ти, бедни Анатоте!
31 (Z)Мадмина е бежанец,
жителите на Гевим се събират на бяг.
32 (AA)И като престои само днес в Ноб,
ще помаха с ръката си към хълма на сионовата дъщеря,
към хълма на Йерусалим.
33 (AB)Ето, Господ Йехова на Силите
ще изкастри хубавите клончета със страшна сила;
високо израсналите ще бъдат отсечени
и издигнатите ще се снишат.
34 Ще изсече с желязо горските гъсталаци;
и Ливан ще падне чрез Могъщия.

Isaiah 10
Complete Jewish Bible
Isaiah 10
Complete Jewish Bible
10 Woe to those who enact unjust decrees
and draft oppressive legislation
2 to deprive the impoverished of justice
and rob my people’s poor of their rights,
looting widows and preying on orphans!
3 What will you do on the day of punishment,
when calamity comes from afar?
To whom will you flee for help?
Where will you leave your wealth,
4 so as not to squat among the prisoners
or fall among the slain?
Even after all this, his anger remains,
his upraised hand still threatens.
5 “Oh Ashur, the rod expressing my anger!
The club in their hands is my fury!
6 I am sending him against a hypocritical nation,
ordering him to march against a people who enrage me,
to take the spoil and the plunder
and trample them down like mud in the street.
7 That is not what Ashur intends,
that is not what they think;
rather, they mean to destroy,
to cut down nation after nation.
8 For [their king] says,
‘Aren’t all my commanders kings?
9 Hasn’t Kalno [suffered] like Kark’mish,
Hamat like Arpad, Shomron like Dammesek?
10 Just as my hand reached the kingdoms of non-gods,
with more images than in Yerushalayim and Shomron;
11 so won’t I do to Yerushalayim and her non-gods
what I did to Shomron and her idols?’”
12 Therefore when Adonai has done everything he intends to do to Mount Tziyon and Yerushalayim, “I will punish the king of Ashur for the boasting that comes from his proud heart and from reveling in his arrogant looks. 13 For he says,
“‘With my own strong arm I have done this,
and with my wisdom, because I’m so clever!
I erased the boundaries between peoples,
I plundered their stores for the future;
as a mighty man, I subjugated the inhabitants.
14 My hand found the riches of the peoples like a nest;
and as one gathers abandoned eggs,
I gathered the whole earth!
Not one wing fluttered,
not one beak opened or let out a chirp!’”
15 Should the axe glorify itself
over the one who chops with it?
Should the saw magnify itself
over the one who moves it?
It’s as if a stick could wave
the hand that raises it up,
or as if a wooden staff could lift
[a person, who is] not made of wood.
16 Therefore the Lord, Adonai-Tzva’ot,
will send leanness to his well-fed ones;
and in place of his glory,
a fire will be kindled that will burn and burn.
17 The light of Isra’el will become a fire
and his Holy One a flame,
burning and devouring
his thorns and briars in a single day.
18 The glory of his forest
and of his fertile land
he will consume body and soul,
like an invalid wasting away.
19 So few forest trees will remain
that a child could list them.
20 On that day the remnant of Isra’el,
those of the house of Ya‘akov who escaped,
will no longer rely
on the man who struck them down,
but will truly rely on Adonai,
the Holy One of Isra’el.
21 A remnant will return,
the remnant of Ya‘akov,
to the mighty God.
22 For, although your people, Isra’el,
are like the sand of the sea,
only a remnant of them will return.
Destruction is decreed, overflowing with justice.
23 Adonai Elohim-Tzva’ot
will bring about this decreed destruction
throughout all the land.
24 Therefore Adonai Elohim-Tzva’ot says:
“My people living in Tziyon,
don’t be afraid of Ashur,
even when he strikes you with a stick
and raises his staff against you,
the way it was in Egypt.
25 For in but a little while, my fury will end;
and my anger will have destroyed them.”
26 Adonai-Tzva’ot will wield a whip against them, as he did when striking Midyan at the Rock of ‘Orev; as his staff was over the sea, he will raise it, the way it was in Egypt.
27 On that day his burden will fall from your shoulders
and his yoke from your neck;
the yoke will be destroyed
by your prosperity.
28 He has come to ‘Ayat
and passed through Migron.
He has stored his equipment at Mikhmas.
29 They have crossed the pass,
then lodged at Geva.
Ramah is shaking,
Giv‘at-Sha’ul has fled.
30 Cry, shriek, Bat-Gallim!
Listen, Layish! Poor ‘Anatot!
31 Madmenah is in flight,
The people of Gevim take cover.
32 This very day he will stop at Nov;
and he will shake his fist
at the mountain of the daughter of Tziyon,
at the hill of Yerushalayim.
33 See how Adonai Elohim-Tzva’ot
lops off the branches with terrible violence!
The ones standing highest are chopped down,
the lofty are laid low.
34 He will hack down the forest underbrush with an axe,
and the L’vanon in its splendor falls.
Isaiah 10
New International Version
Isaiah 10
New International Version
10 Woe(A) to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,(B)
2 to deprive(C) the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,(D)
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless.(E)
3 What will you do on the day of reckoning,(F)
when disaster(G) comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help?(H)
Where will you leave your riches?
4 Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives(I)
or fall among the slain.(J)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,(K)
his hand is still upraised.
God’s Judgment on Assyria
5 “Woe(L) to the Assyrian,(M) the rod(N) of my anger,
in whose hand is the club(O) of my wrath!(P)
6 I send him against a godless(Q) nation,
I dispatch(R) him against a people who anger me,(S)
to seize loot and snatch plunder,(T)
and to trample(U) them down like mud in the streets.
7 But this is not what he intends,(V)
this is not what he has in mind;
his purpose is to destroy,
to put an end to many nations.
8 ‘Are not my commanders(W) all kings?’ he says.
9 ‘Has not Kalno(X) fared like Carchemish?(Y)
Is not Hamath(Z) like Arpad,(AA)
and Samaria(AB) like Damascus?(AC)
10 As my hand seized the kingdoms of the idols,(AD)
kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria—
11 shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images
as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?(AE)’”
12 When the Lord has finished all his work(AF) against Mount Zion(AG) and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria(AH) for the willful pride(AI) of his heart and the haughty look(AJ) in his eyes. 13 For he says:
“‘By the strength of my hand(AK) I have done this,(AL)
and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
I plundered their treasures;(AM)
like a mighty one I subdued[a] their kings.(AN)
14 As one reaches into a nest,(AO)
so my hand reached for the wealth(AP) of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;(AQ)
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.(AR)’”
15 Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?(AS)
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club(AT) brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease(AU) upon his sturdy warriors;(AV)
under his pomp(AW) a fire(AX) will be kindled
like a blazing flame.
17 The Light of Israel will become a fire,(AY)
their Holy One(AZ) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
his thorns(BA) and his briers.(BB)
18 The splendor of his forests(BC) and fertile fields
it will completely destroy,(BD)
as when a sick person wastes away.
19 And the remaining trees of his forests(BE) will be so few(BF)
that a child could write them down.
The Remnant of Israel
20 In that day(BG) the remnant of Israel,
the survivors(BH) of Jacob,
will no longer rely(BI) on him
who struck them down(BJ)
but will truly rely(BK) on the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel.(BL)
21 A remnant(BM) will return,[b](BN) a remnant of Jacob
will return to the Mighty God.(BO)
22 Though your people be like the sand(BP) by the sea, Israel,
only a remnant will return.(BQ)
Destruction has been decreed,(BR)
overwhelming and righteous.
23 The Lord, the Lord Almighty, will carry out
the destruction decreed(BS) upon the whole land.(BT)
24 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:
“My people who live in Zion,(BU)
do not be afraid(BV) of the Assyrians,
who beat(BW) you with a rod(BX)
and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 Very soon(BY) my anger against you will end
and my wrath(BZ) will be directed to their destruction.(CA)”
26 The Lord Almighty will lash(CB) them with a whip,
as when he struck down Midian(CC) at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff(CD) over the waters,(CE)
as he did in Egypt.
27 In that day(CF) their burden(CG) will be lifted from your shoulders,
their yoke(CH) from your neck;(CI)
the yoke(CJ) will be broken
because you have grown so fat.[c]
28 They enter Aiath;
they pass through Migron;(CK)
they store supplies(CL) at Mikmash.(CM)
29 They go over the pass, and say,
“We will camp overnight at Geba.(CN)”
Ramah(CO) trembles;
Gibeah(CP) of Saul flees.(CQ)
30 Cry out, Daughter Gallim!(CR)
Listen, Laishah!
Poor Anathoth!(CS)
31 Madmenah is in flight;
the people of Gebim take cover.
32 This day they will halt at Nob;(CT)
they will shake their fist(CU)
at the mount of Daughter Zion,(CV)
at the hill of Jerusalem.
