Isaiah 28
English Standard Version
Judgment on Ephraim and Jerusalem
28 Ah, the proud crown of (A)the drunkards of Ephraim,
and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the rich valley of those overcome with wine!
2 Behold, the Lord has (B)one who is mighty and strong;
like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest,
like (C)a storm of mighty, overflowing waters,
he casts down to the earth with his hand.
3 (D)The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim
will be trodden underfoot;
4 (E)and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the rich valley,
will be like (F)a first-ripe fig[a] before the summer:
when someone sees it, he swallows it
as soon as it is in his hand.
5 (G)In that day the Lord of hosts will be a crown of glory,[b]
and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people,
6 and (H)a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
and (I)strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
7 (J)These also reel with wine
and (K)stagger with strong drink;
the priest and (L)the prophet reel with strong drink,
they are swallowed by[c] wine,
they stagger with strong drink,
they reel in vision,
they stumble in giving judgment.
8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit,
with no space left.
9 (M)“To whom will he teach knowledge,
and to whom will he explain the message?
Those who are weaned from the milk,
those taken from the breast?
10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little.”
11 (N)For by people of strange lips
and with a foreign tongue
the Lord will speak to this people,
12 to whom he has said,
(O)“This is rest;
give rest to the weary;
and this is repose”;
yet they would not hear.
13 And the word of the Lord will be to them
precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little,
(P)that they may go, and fall backward,
and be broken, and snared, and taken.
A Cornerstone in Zion
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you (Q)scoffers,
who rule this people in Jerusalem!
15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
and with Sheol we have an agreement,
when the (R)overwhelming whip passes through
it will not come to us,
for we have made (S)lies our refuge,
and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;
16 therefore thus says the Lord God,
(T)“Behold, I am the one who has laid[d] as a foundation (U)in Zion,
a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’
17 And I will make justice (V)the line,
and righteousness (W)the plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”
18 Then (X)your covenant with death will be annulled,
and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be beaten down by it.
19 As often as it passes through it will take you;
(Y)for morning by morning it will pass through,
by day and by night;
and it will be (Z)sheer terror to understand the message.
20 For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on,
and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.
21 For the Lord will rise up (AA)as on Mount Perazim;
(AB)as in the Valley of (AC)Gibeon he will be roused;
to do his deed—strange is his deed!
and to work his work—alien is his work!
22 Now therefore do not (AD)scoff,
lest your bonds be made strong;
for I have heard (AE)a decree of destruction
from the Lord God of hosts against the whole land.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice;
give attention, and hear my speech.
24 Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?
Does he continually open and harrow his ground?
25 (AF)When he has leveled its surface,
does he not scatter dill, sow cumin,
and put in wheat in rows
and barley in its proper place,
and emmer[e] as the border?
26 (AG)For he is rightly instructed;
his God teaches him.
27 Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin,
but dill is beaten out with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
28 Does one crush grain for bread?
No, he does not thresh it forever;[f]
when he drives his cart wheel over it
with his horses, he does not crush it.
29 This also comes from the Lord of hosts;
he is (AH)wonderful in counsel
and excellent in wisdom.

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
28 Sa aba ng putong ng kapalaluan ng mga manglalasing sa Ephraim, at ng lipas na bulaklak ng kaniyang maluwalhating kagandahan, na nasa ulunan ng mainam na libis nila na nadaig ng alak!
2 Narito, ang Panginoon ay may isang makapangyarihan at malakas na sugo parang bagyo ng granizo, na manggigibang bagyo, parang unos ng bumubugsong tubig na bumabaha, ay ibubuwal niya sa lupa sa pamamagitan ng malakas na kamay.
3 Ang putong ng kapalaluan ng mga manglalasing sa Ephraim ay mayayapakan ng paa:
4 At ang lipas na bulaklak ng kaniyang maluwalhating kagandahan, na nasa ulunan ng mainam na libis, magiging gaya ng maagang hinog na bunga ng igos bago magtaginit; na kung nakikita ng tumitingin, samantalang na sa kaniyang kamay pa, kinakain na niya.
5 Sa araw na yaon ay magiging putong ng kaluwalhatian ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo, at pinakadiadema ng kagandahan, sa nalabi sa kaniyang bayan;
6 At pinaka diwa ng kahatulan sa kaniya na nauupo sa kahatulan, at pinakalakas sa kanila na umuurong sa pakikipagbaka hanggang sa pintuang-daan.
7 Gayon man ang mga ito ay gumigiray dahil sa alak, at dahil sa matapang na alak ay pahapayhapay; ang saserdote at ang propeta ay gumigiray dahil sa matapang na alak, sila'y nangasakmal ng alak, sila'y pahapayhapay dahil sa matapang na alak: sila'y nangamamali sa pangitain, sila'y nangatitisod sa paghatol.
8 Sapagka't lahat ng mga dulang ay puno ng suka, at ng karumihan, na anopa't walang dakong malinis.
9 Kanino siya magtuturo ng kaalaman? at kanino niya ipatatalastas ang balita? silang nangalayo sa gatas, at nangahiwalay sa suso?
10 Sapagka't utos at utos: utos at utos; bilin at bilin, bilin at bilin; dito'y kaunti, doo'y kaunti.
11 Hindi, kundi sa pamamagitan ng mga taong may ibang pangungusap at may iba't ibang wika ay sasalitain niya sa bayang ito.
12 Na kaniyang pinagsabihan, Ito ang kapahingahan, papagpahingahin ninyo siya na pagod; at ito ang kaginhawahan: gayon ma'y hindi nila pinakinggan.
13 Kaya't ang salita ng Panginoon ay magiging sa kanila'y utos at utos, utos at utos; bilin at bilin, bilin at bilin; dito'y kaunti, doo'y kaunti; upang sila'y mangakayaon, at mangapahinga, at mangabalian, at mangasilo, at mangahuli.
14 Kaya't iyong dinggin ang salita ng Panginoon, ninyong mga mangduduwahaging tao, na nangagpupuno sa bayang ito na nasa Jerusalem:
15 Sapagka't inyong sinabi, Tayo'y nakipagtipan sa kamatayan, at sa Sheol ay nakipagkasundo tayo; pagka ang mahigpit na kasakunaan ay dumaan, hindi darating sa atin; sapagka't ating ginawang pinakakanlungan natin ang mga kabulaanan, at sa ilalim ng kasinungalingan ay nangagkubli tayo,
16 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Narito, aking inilalagay sa Sion na pinakapatibayan ang isang bato, isang batong subok, isang mahalagang batong panulok na may matibay na patibayan: ang naniniwala ay hindi magmamadali.
17 At aking ilalagay na pinakapising panukat ang katuwiran, at pinakapabato ang kabanalan: at papalisin ng granizo ang kanlungan ng mga kabulaanan, at aapawan ng tubig ang taguang dako.
18 At ang inyong tipan sa kamatayan ay mawawalan ng kabuluhan, at ang iyong pakikipagkasundo sa Sheol ay hindi mamamalagi; pagka ang mahigpit na kasakunaan ay daraan, kayo nga'y ipapahamak niyaon.
19 Sa tuwing dadaan, tatangayin kayo; sapagka't tuwing umaga ay daraan, sa araw at sa gabi: at mangyayari na ang balita ay magiging kakilakilabot na matalastas.
20 Sapagka't ang higaan ay lalong maikli na hindi maunatan ng tao; at ang kumot ay lalong makitid na hindi makabalot sa kaniya.
21 Sapagka't ang Panginoon ay babangon na gaya sa bundok ng Perasim, siya'y napopoot na gaya sa libis ng Gabaon; upang kaniyang magawa ang kaniyang gawain, ang kaniyang kakaibang gawain, at papangyarihin ang kaniyang gawain, ang kaniyang kakaibang gawain.
22 Huwag nga kayong mapagtuya, baka ang mga panali sa inyo ay magsitibay: sapagka't ang paglipol na ipinasiya, narinig ko sa Panginoon, sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo, sa buong lupa.
23 Pakinggan ninyo, at dinggin ninyo ang aking tinig, inyong dinggin, at pakinggan ang aking pananalita.
24 Nag-aararo bagang lagi ang mang-aararo upang maghasik? Kaniya bagang laging binubungkal at dinudurog ang kaniyang lupa.
25 Pagka kaniyang napatag ang ibabaw niyaon hindi ba niya binibinhian ng eneldo, at ikinakalat ang binhing comino, at inihahanay ang trigo, at ang cebada sa takdang dako, at ang espelta sa hangganan niyaon?
26 Sapagka't itinuturong matuwid sa kaniya ng kaniyang Dios, at itinuturo sa kaniya:
27 Sapagka't ang eneldo ay hindi ginigiik ng panggiik na matalas, o ang gulong man ng karo ay gugulong sa comino; kundi ang eneldo ay hinahampas ng tungkod, at ang comino ay ng pamalo.
28 Ang trigong ginagawang tinapay ay ginigiling; sapagka't hindi laging magigiik: at bagaman pangalatin yaon ng gulong ng kaniyang karo at ng kaniyang mga kabayo, hindi niya ginigiling.
29 Gayon ma'y ito'y mula rin sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na kamanghamangha sa payo, at marilag sa karunungan.
Исаия 28
Библия, синодално издание
Исаия 28
Библия, синодално издание
28 Горко на венеца, с който се гордеят пияните ефремци! Горко на увяхналото цвете – неговото гиздаво украшение – цвете сред торната долина на замаяните от вино!
2 (A)Ето, якият и силният у Господа като проливен дъжд с град, като пагубен вихър, като разляно наводнение от бурни води, със сила го повали наземи.
3 (B)С нозе се тъпче венецът, с който се гордеят пияните ефремци.
4 (C)И с увяхналото цвете – неговото гиздаво украшение – цвете сред торната долина, става същото, каквото бива със смокиня, рано узряла: щом някой я зърне, веднага я взима в ръка и я лапва.
5 (D)В оня ден Господ Саваот ще бъде красив венец и славна корона за остатъка от Своя народ,
6 дух на правосъдие за седещия в съдилище и мъжество за ония, които отблъсват неприятеля до портите.
7 (E)Но и тия се клатушкат от вино и объркват пътя си от сикер: свещеник и пророк се спъват от силни пития; победени са от вино, обезумели от сикер, във видение се бъркат, в съждение се спъват.
8 Защото всички трапези са пълни с гнусен бълвоч, няма чисто място.
9 А казват: „кого иска той да учи на знание? и кого да вразумява с проповед? Отбити от гръдно мляко ли, отделени от майчини гърди ли?
10 (F)Защото всичко е заповед върху заповед, заповед върху заповед, правило върху правило, нравило върху правило, тук малко и там малко.“
11 (G)Затова с мънкащи уста и на чужди език ще говорят към тоя народ.
12 (H)Говориха им: „ето – покой, дайте покой на отрудения, и ето – успокоение.“ Но те не искаха да слушат.
13 (I)И стана у тях според словото Господне: заповед върху заповед, заповед върху заповед, правило върху правило, правило върху правило, тук малко, там малко, – тъй че те ще отидат, ще паднат ничком и ще се разбият, ще паднат в примка и ще бъдат уловени.
14 (J)И тъй, слушайте словото Господне, хулители, управници на тоя народ, който е в Иерусалим.
15 (K)Понеже говорите: „сключили сме съюз със смъртта и с преизподнята сме договор направили: кога всепоражаващият бич минава, той не ще дойде до нас, защото лъжата направихме наше прибежище и с измама ще се прикрием“, –
16 (L)затова тъй казва Господ Бог: ето, Аз полагам на Сион в основата камък, – камък изпитан, краеъгълен, драгоценен, здраво утвърден: който вярва в него, няма да се посрами.
17 И ще поставя съда за мерило и правдата за къпони; и град ще изтреби прибежището на лъжата, и води ще потопят мястото на укривателството.
18 (M)И съюзът ви със смъртта ще се унищожи, и договорът ви с преизподнята не ще устои. Кога мине всепоражаващият бич, вие ще бъдете стъпкани.
19 (N)Щом той мине, ще ви хване; а той ще ходи всяка заран, денем и нощем, и само слухът за него ще внушава ужас.
20 Твърде къса ще бъде постелката, за да се протяга; твърде тясна и завивката, за да се завие с нея.
21 (O)Защото Господ ще се вдигне, както на Перацим планина; ще се разгневи, както в Гаваонската долина, за да извърши делото Си, необикновено дело, и да свърши действието Си, чудното Си действие.
22 (P)И тъй, не кощунствувайте, за да не станат оковите ви по-яки; защото аз чух от Господа, Бога Саваота, че е определено изтреба за цяла земя.
23 (Q)Приклонете ухо и послушайте гласа ми; бъдете внимателни, и изслушайте речта ми.
24 Земеделецът винаги ли оре, за да посее, винаги ли бразди и брани земята си?
25 Не; като уравни лицето ѝ, той сее милат, или пръсва кимион, или хвърля пшеница на редове, и ечемик в определеното място и редом с него лимец.
26 (R)И на такъв ред го учи неговият Бог; Той го наставлява.
27 (S)Защото не вършеят милат с диканя, нито вършечни колелета газят кимион, но с тояга очукват милата, и с тояга – кимиона.
28 Житото вършеят, но го не трошат; разкарват по него вършечни колелета с конете им, но го не смачкват.
29 (T)И това става от Господа Саваота: чудни са Неговите съдби, велика е Неговата премъдрост!
Isaiah 28
New International Version
Isaiah 28
New International Version
Woe to the Leaders of Ephraim and Judah
28 Woe(A) to that wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(B) drunkards,
to the fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley(C)—
to that city, the pride of those laid low by wine!(D)
2 See, the Lord has one who is powerful(E) and strong.
Like a hailstorm(F) and a destructive wind,(G)
like a driving rain and a flooding(H) downpour,
he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
3 That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(I) drunkards,
will be trampled(J) underfoot.
4 That fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley,(K)
will be like figs(L) ripe before harvest—
as soon as people see them and take them in hand,
they swallow them.
5 In that day(M) the Lord Almighty
will be a glorious(N) crown,(O)
a beautiful wreath
for the remnant(P) of his people.
6 He will be a spirit of justice(Q)
to the one who sits in judgment,(R)
a source of strength
to those who turn back the battle(S) at the gate.
7 And these also stagger(T) from wine(U)
and reel(V) from beer:
Priests(W) and prophets(X) stagger from beer
and are befuddled with wine;
they reel from beer,
they stagger when seeing visions,(Y)
they stumble when rendering decisions.
8 All the tables are covered with vomit(Z)
and there is not a spot without filth.
9 “Who is it he is trying to teach?(AA)
To whom is he explaining his message?(AB)
To children weaned(AC) from their milk,(AD)
to those just taken from the breast?
10 For it is:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that[a];
a little here, a little there.(AE)”
11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues(AF)
God will speak to this people,(AG)
12 to whom he said,
“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;(AH)
and, “This is the place of repose”—
but they would not listen.
13 So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there(AI)—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured(AJ) and snared and captured.(AK)
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord,(AL) you scoffers(AM)
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,(AN)
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(AO)
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie(AP) our refuge
and falsehood[b] our hiding place.(AQ)”
16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,(AR) a tested stone,(AS)
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;(AT)
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.(AU)
17 I will make justice(AV) the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;(AW)
hail(AX) will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow(AY) your hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.(AZ)
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(BA)
you will be beaten down(BB) by it.
19 As often as it comes it will carry you away;(BC)
morning after morning,(BD) by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.(BE)
20 The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.(BF)
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(BG)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(BH)—
to do his work,(BI) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22 Now stop your mocking,(BJ)
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed(BK) against the whole land.(BL)
23 Listen(BM) and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.
24 When a farmer plows for planting,(BN) does he plow continually?
Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?
25 When he has leveled the surface,
does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin?(BO)
Does he not plant wheat in its place,[c]
barley(BP) in its plot,[d]
and spelt(BQ) in its field?
26 His God instructs him
and teaches(BR) him the right way.
27 Caraway is not threshed(BS) with a sledge,(BT)
nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin;
caraway is beaten out with a rod,(BU)
and cumin with a stick.
28 Grain must be ground to make bread;
so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart(BV) may be rolled over it,
but one does not use horses to grind grain.
29 All this also comes from the Lord Almighty,
whose plan is wonderful,(BW)
whose wisdom is magnificent.(BX)
