The Redemption of Israel

27 In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong (A)sword will punish (B)Leviathan the fleeing serpent, (C)Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay (D)the dragon that is in the sea.

In that day,
(E)“A pleasant vineyard,[a] (F)sing of it!
    I, the Lord, am its keeper;
    every moment I water it.
    Lest anyone punish it,
I keep it night and day;
    I have no wrath.
(G)Would that I had thorns and briers to battle!
    I would march against them,
    I would burn them up together.
Or let them lay hold of my protection,
    let them make peace with me,
    let them make peace with me.”

(H)In days to come[b] Jacob shall take root,
    Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots
    and fill the whole world with fruit.

(I)Has he struck them (J)as he struck those who struck them?
    Or have they been slain (K)as their slayers were slain?
(L)Measure by measure,[c] by exile you contended with them;
    (M)he removed them with his fierce breath[d] in the day of the east wind.
Therefore by this (N)the guilt of Jacob will be atoned for,
    and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:[e]
(O)when he makes all the stones of the altars
    like chalkstones crushed to pieces,
    no (P)Asherim or incense altars will remain standing.
10 (Q)For the fortified city is solitary,
    a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
there the calf grazes;
    there it lies down and strips its branches.
11 When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
    women come and make a fire of them.
(R)For this is a people without discernment;
    therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
    he who formed them will show them no favor.

12 In that day (S)from the river Euphrates[f] to the Brook of Egypt the Lord will thresh out the grain, and you will be gleaned one by one, O people of Israel. 13 And in that day (T)a great trumpet will be blown, (U)and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt (V)will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

Restaurarea lui Israel

27 În ziua aceea
    Domnul va pedepsi,
        cu sabia Sa aspră, mare şi puternică,
Leviatanul, şarpele fugar,
    Leviatanul, şarpele încolăcit.
        Va ucide monstrul Tanin din mare![a]

În ziua aceea
    va exista o vie aleasă:
        «Cântaţi despre ea!
Eu, Domnul, sunt veghetorul ei:
    o ud tot timpul
şi o păzesc zi şi noapte,
    pentru ca nimeni să nu-i facă rău.
Nu sunt mânios deloc.
Dar dacă voi găsi spini şi mărăcini,
    voi mărşălui la luptă împotriva lor
        şi îi voi arde pe toţi.
Afară doar dacă aceştia vor căuta ocrotirea Mea
    şi vor urmări să se împace cu Mine;
        da, să se împace cu Mine.»

În zilele care vin, Iacov va prinde rădăcină,
    Israel va înflori, va da lăstari
        şi va umple întreaga lume cu rod.

L-a lovit oare Domnul
    cum i-a lovit pe cei ce-l loveau?
A fost el ucis
    cum au fost ucişi cei ce-l ucideau?
Izgonindu-l[b], trimiţându-l în exil, Te-ai luptat cu el!
    Cu suflarea Sa năprasnică l-a strămutat
        în ziua când a suflat vântul de răsărit.

Prin urmare, astfel va fi ispăşită vina lui Iacov,
    acesta va fi rodul deplin al îndepărtării păcatului său:
când El va face din toate pietrele altarelor
    nişte pietre de var zdrobite în bucăţi,
        nu vor mai rămâne în picioare nici aşerele[c] şi nici altarele pentru tămâiere.

10 Cetatea fortificată este pustie;
    a ajuns o locuinţă abandonată şi pustiită ca un deşert.
Acolo pasc viţeii,
    acolo se odihnesc
        şi-i mănâncă ramurile.
11 Când ramurile i se usucă, sunt rupte,
    iar femeile vin şi fac foc cu ele.
Fiindcă acesta este un popor fără minte,
    Creatorul lor nu va avea milă de ei,
        Făcătorul lor nu se va îndura de ei.

12 În ziua aceea Domnul va treiera de la cursul Eufratului[d] până la Râul Egiptului[e], iar voi, israeliţi, veţi fi adunaţi unul câte unul. 13 În ziua aceea o trâmbiţă mare va suna, iar cei ce au pierit în Asiria şi cei exilaţi în ţara Egiptului vor veni şi se vor închina Domnului pe muntele cel sfânt, în Ierusalim.

Leviathan Slain

27 On that day the Lord with His harsh, great, and strong sword, will bring judgment on Leviathan,(A) the fleeing serpent—Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea.(B)

The Lord’s Vineyard

On that day
sing about a desirable vineyard:(C)
I, Yahweh, watch over it;
I water it regularly.
I guard it night and day
so that no one disturbs it.
I am not angry,
but if it produces thorns and briers(D) for Me,
I will fight against it, trample it,
and burn it to the ground.
Or let it take hold of My strength;
let it make peace with Me—
make peace with Me.
In days to come, Jacob will take root.(E)
Israel will blossom and bloom(F)
and fill the whole world with fruit.

Did the Lord strike Israel
as He struck the one who struck Israel?(G)
Was he killed like those killed by Him?
You disputed with her
by banishing and driving her away.[a]
He removed her with His severe storm
on the day of the east wind.
Therefore Jacob’s iniquity(H) will be purged in this way,
and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:(I)
when he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 For the fortified city will be deserted,
pastures abandoned and forsaken like a wilderness.
Calves will graze there,
and there they will spread out and strip its branches.
11 When its branches dry out, they will be broken off.
Women will come and make fires with them,
for they are not a people with understanding.(J)
Therefore their Maker(K) will not have compassion on them,
and their Creator will not be gracious to them.

12 On that day(L)
the Lord will thresh grain from the Euphrates River
as far as the Wadi of Egypt,(M)
and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.
13 On that day
a great trumpet(N) will be blown,
and those lost in the land of Assyria will come,
as well as those dispersed in the land of Egypt;
and they will worship the Lord
at Jerusalem on the holy mountain.

Deliverance of Israel

27 In that day,(A)

the Lord will punish with his sword(B)
    his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan(C) the gliding serpent,(D)
    Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster(E) of the sea.

In that day(F)

“Sing(G) about a fruitful vineyard:(H)
    I, the Lord, watch over it;
    I water(I) it continually.
I guard(J) it day and night
    so that no one may harm(K) it.
    I am not angry.
If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!
    I would march against them in battle;
    I would set them all on fire.(L)
Or else let them come to me for refuge;(M)
    let them make peace(N) with me,
    yes, let them make peace with me.”

In days to come Jacob will take root,(O)
    Israel will bud and blossom(P)
    and fill all the world with fruit.(Q)

Has the Lord struck her
    as he struck(R) down those who struck her?
Has she been killed
    as those were killed who killed her?
By warfare[a] and exile(S) you contend with her—
    with his fierce blast he drives her out,
    as on a day the east wind(T) blows.
By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned(U) for,
    and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:(V)
When he makes all the altar stones(W)
    to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles[b](X) or incense altars(Y)
    will be left standing.
10 The fortified city stands desolate,(Z)
    an abandoned settlement, forsaken(AA) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(AB)
    there they lie down;(AC)
    they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off(AD)
    and women come and make fires(AE) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;(AF)
    so their Maker has no compassion on them,
    and their Creator(AG) shows them no favor.(AH)

12 In that day the Lord will thresh(AI) from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,(AJ) and you, Israel, will be gathered(AK) up one by one. 13 And in that day(AL) a great trumpet(AM) will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled(AN) in Egypt(AO) will come and worship(AP) the Lord on the holy mountain(AQ) in Jerusalem.

  2. Isaiah 27:9 That is, wooden symbols of the goddess Asherah

27 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.

12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
