Isaiah 65
New International Version
Judgment and Salvation
65 “I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me;
I was found by those who did not seek me.(A)
To a nation(B) that did not call on my name,(C)
I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’
2 All day long I have held out my hands
to an obstinate people,(D)
who walk in ways not good,
pursuing their own imaginations(E)—
3 a people who continually provoke me
to my very face,(F)
offering sacrifices in gardens(G)
and burning incense(H) on altars of brick;
4 who sit among the graves(I)
and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;
who eat the flesh of pigs,(J)
and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
5 who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me,
for I am too sacred(K) for you!’
Such people are smoke(L) in my nostrils,
a fire that keeps burning all day.
6 “See, it stands written before me:
I will not keep silent(M) but will pay back(N) in full;
I will pay it back into their laps(O)—
7 both your sins(P) and the sins of your ancestors,”(Q)
says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
and defied me on the hills,(R)
I will measure into their laps
the full payment(S) for their former deeds.”
8 This is what the Lord says:
“As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes(T)
and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,
there is still a blessing in it,’
so will I do in behalf of my servants;(U)
I will not destroy them all.
9 I will bring forth descendants(V) from Jacob,
and from Judah those who will possess(W) my mountains;
my chosen(X) people will inherit them,
and there will my servants live.(Y)
10 Sharon(Z) will become a pasture for flocks,(AA)
and the Valley of Achor(AB) a resting place for herds,
for my people who seek(AC) me.
11 “But as for you who forsake(AD) the Lord
and forget my holy mountain,(AE)
who spread a table for Fortune
and fill bowls of mixed wine(AF) for Destiny,
12 I will destine you for the sword,(AG)
and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(AH)
for I called but you did not answer,(AI)
I spoke but you did not listen.(AJ)
You did evil in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(AK)
13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“My servants will eat,(AL)
but you will go hungry;(AM)
my servants will drink,(AN)
but you will go thirsty;(AO)
my servants will rejoice,(AP)
but you will be put to shame.(AQ)
14 My servants will sing(AR)
out of the joy of their hearts,
but you will cry out(AS)
from anguish of heart
and wail in brokenness of spirit.
15 You will leave your name
for my chosen ones to use in their curses;(AT)
the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,
but to his servants he will give another name.(AU)
16 Whoever invokes a blessing(AV) in the land
will do so by the one true God;(AW)
whoever takes an oath in the land
will swear(AX) by the one true God.
For the past troubles(AY) will be forgotten
and hidden from my eyes.
New Heavens and a New Earth
17 “See, I will create
new heavens and a new earth.(AZ)
The former things will not be remembered,(BA)
nor will they come to mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice(BB) forever
in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem(BC) to be a delight
and its people a joy.
19 I will rejoice(BD) over Jerusalem
and take delight(BE) in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying(BF)
will be heard in it no more.
20 “Never again will there be in it
an infant(BG) who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not live out his years;(BH)
the one who dies at a hundred
will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred
will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses(BI) and dwell in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(BJ)
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,(BK)
or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,(BL)
so will be the days(BM) of my people;
my chosen(BN) ones will long enjoy
the work of their hands.
23 They will not labor in vain,(BO)
nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;(BP)
for they will be a people blessed(BQ) by the Lord,
they and their descendants(BR) with them.
24 Before they call(BS) I will answer;(BT)
while they are still speaking(BU) I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb(BV) will feed together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox,(BW)
and dust will be the serpent’s(BX) food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,”(BY)
says the Lord.

Judgment and Salvation
65 (A)I was ready to be sought by (B)those who did not ask for me;
I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am, here I am,”
to a nation that was not called by[a] my name.
2 (C)I spread out my hands all the day
to a rebellious people,
who walk in a way that is not good,
following their own devices;
3 a people who provoke me
to my face continually,
(D)sacrificing in gardens
and making offerings on bricks;
4 who sit in tombs,
and spend the night in secret places;
(E)who eat pig's flesh,
and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels;
5 who say, “Keep to yourself,
do not come near me, for I am too holy for you.”
(F)These are a smoke in my nostrils,
a fire that burns all the day.
6 Behold, (G)it is written before me:
(H)“I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
(I)I will indeed repay into their lap
7 both your iniquities (J)and your fathers' iniquities together,
says the Lord;
(K)because they made offerings on the mountains
(L)and insulted me on the hills,
I will measure into their lap
payment for their former deeds.”[b]
8 Thus says the Lord:
(M)“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
and they say, ‘Do not destroy it,
for there is a blessing in it,’
so I will do for my servants' sake,
(N)and not destroy them all.
9 (O)I will bring forth offspring from Jacob,
and from Judah possessors of my mountains;
my chosen shall possess it,
and my servants shall dwell there.
10 (P)Sharon shall become a pasture for flocks,
and (Q)the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,
for my people (R)who have sought me.
11 But (S)you who forsake the Lord,
who forget (T)my holy mountain,
who (U)set a table for Fortune
and (V)fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny,
12 I will destine you to the sword,
and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,
(W)because, when I called, you did not answer;
when I spoke, you did not listen,
(X)but you did what was evil in my eyes
and chose what I did not delight in.”
13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, (Y)my servants shall eat,
but you shall be hungry;
behold, my servants shall drink,
but you shall be thirsty;
behold, my servants shall rejoice,
but you shall be put to shame;
14 behold, (Z)my servants shall sing for gladness of heart,
but you shall cry out for pain of heart
and shall wail for breaking of spirit.
15 You shall leave your name to (AA)my chosen (AB)for a curse,
and the Lord God will put you to death,
but his servants (AC)he will call by another name,
16 so that he who (AD)blesses himself in the land
shall bless himself by (AE)the God of truth,
and he who takes an oath in the land
shall swear by (AF)the God of truth;
(AG)because the former troubles are forgotten
and are hidden from my eyes.
New Heavens and a New Earth
17 “For behold, (AH)I create new heavens
and a new earth,
and the former things shall not be remembered
or come into mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever
in that which I create;
for behold, (AI)I create Jerusalem to be a joy,
and her people to be a gladness.
19 (AJ)I will rejoice in Jerusalem
and be glad in my people;
(AK)no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping
and the cry of distress.
20 No more shall there be in it
an infant who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not fill out his days,
for (AL)the young man shall die a hundred years old,
and (AM)the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 (AN)They shall build houses and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 (AO)They shall not build and another inhabit;
they shall not plant and another eat;
(AP)for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,
and my chosen shall long enjoy[c] the work of their hands.
23 (AQ)They shall not labor in vain
(AR)or bear children for calamity,[d]
for (AS)they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord,
and their descendants with them.
24 (AT)Before they call I will answer;
(AU)while they are yet speaking I will hear.
25 (AV)The wolf and the lamb shall graze together;
the lion shall eat straw like the ox,
and (AW)dust shall be the serpent's food.
(AX)They shall not hurt or destroy
in all my holy mountain,”
says the Lord.

Xukunka Iyo Badbaadada
65 Waxaan aqbalay kuwa aan wax i weyddiinayn, oo waxaa i helay kuwa aan i doondoonayn. Waxaa quruun aan magacayga loogu yeedhi jirin ku idhi, I eeg, i eeg. 2 Maalintii oo dhan waxaan gacmahayga u kala bixinayay dad caasi ah, oo jid aan wanaagsanayn ku socda, oo fikirradooda daba gala, 3 oo ah dad had iyo goorba badheedh iiga cadhaysiiya, iyagoo beero allabari ku bixiya, oo meelo leben laga sameeyey foox ku shida. 4 Waxay fadhiyaan xabaalaha dhexdooda, oo meelo qarsoon bayna ku hoydaan. Hilib doofaar bay cunaan oo weelashoodana waxaa ku jira maraq waxyaalo karaahiyo ah laga sameeyey, 5 oo waxay yidhaahdaan, Goonidaada u taagnow, oo ha ii soo dhowaanin, waayo, waan kaa quduusanahay. Kuwaasu waa qiiq sanka iga galay, iyo dab maalinta oo dhan qaxmaya. 6 Bal eega, tanu hortayday ku qoran tahay, Anigu iska aamusi maayo, laakiinse waan abaalmarin doonaa, oo waxaan abaalmarinta gelin doonaa laabtooda. 7 Xumaatooyinkiinnii iyo xumaatooyinkii awowayaashiinba isku mar baan idiinka abaalmarin doonaa, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay, waayo, iyagu buurahay foox ku shideen oo kurahay igu caayeen, sidaas daraaddeed laabtooda ayaan shuqulladoodii hore gelin doonaa.
8 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sida khamriga looga helo rucubka canabka dhexdiisa, oo mid u yidhaahdo, Ha hallaynin, waayo, barakaa ku dhex jirta, sidaas oo kalaan u samayn doonaa addoommadayda aawadood, si aanan dhammaantood u wada baabbi'in. 9 Waxaan reer Yacquub ka soo bixin doonaa farcan, oo Yahuudahna waxaan ka soo bixin doonaa mid buurahayga dhaxla, oo kuwayga aan doortay ayaa dhaxli doona, oo addoommadayda ayaa halkaas degi doona. 10 Shaaroon waxay noqon doontaa meel ay adhiyuhu daaqaan, oo dooxadii Caakoorna waxay noqon doontaa meel ay lo'yowgu fadhiistaan, dadkayga i doondoonay aawadood. 11 Laakiinse kuwiinna Rabbiga ka taga, oo buurtayda quduuska ah illoobay, oo Gaad miis u diyaariya, oo Menii khamri u qasa, 12 waxaan idinka dhigi doonaa kuwa seefta ku le'da, oo dhammaantiinna waxaad u wada foororsan doontaan in laydin gowraco, maxaa yeelay, markaan idiin yeedhay iima aydaan jawaabin, oo markaan idinla hadlayna, ima aydaan maqlin, laakiinse wax indhahayga hortooda shar ku ahaa baad samayseen, oo waxaad doorateen wax aanan ku farxin.
13 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, addoommadaydu wax bay cuni doonaan, idinkuse waad gaajaysnaan doontaan, addoommadaydu wax bay cabbi doonaan, idinkuse waad harraadsanaan doontaan, addoommadaydu way rayrayn doonaan, idinkuse waad ceeboobi doontaan, 14 addoommadaydu farxadda qalbigooda ayay la gabyi doonaan, idinkuse murugta qalbigiinna ayaad la ooyi doontaan, oo dhibta ruuxiinna ayaad la barooran doontaan. 15 Oo magiciinna ayaad kuwayga aan doortay ugu dayn doontaan, inuu habaar lagu dhaarto u noqdo, oo Sayidka Rabbiga ah ayaa idin layn doona, oo addoommadiisana magac kaluu u bixin doonaa. 16 Kii isagoo dalka jooga isu duceeyaa wuxuu isugu ducayn doonaa Ilaaha runta, oo kii isagoo dalka jooga dhaartaana wuxuu ku dhaaran doonaa Ilaaha runta, waayo, dhibaatooyinkii hore waa la illoobay, indhahaygana way ka qarsoon yihiin.
Samooyin Cusub Iyo Dhul Cusub
17 Waayo, bal eega, waxaan abuuri doonaa samooyin cuscusub iyo dhul cusub, oo waxyaalihii horena lama soo xusuusan doono, oo innaba maanka sooma ay geli doonaan. 18 Laakiinse farxa oo weligiinba waxa aan abuuro ku reyreeya, waayo, bal eega, Yeruusaalem waxaan u abuuraa rayrayn, dadkeedana farxad baan u abuuraa. 19 Oo Yeruusaalem baan ku rayrayn doonaa, oo dadkaygana waan ku farxi doonaa, oo codkii oohinta iyo codkii baroorashadana mar dambe dhexdeeda lagama maqli doono. 20 Oo markaas dabadeedna innaba dhexdeeda ilmo dhawr maalmood jira, amase oday aan cimrigiisa dhammaysan lagama heli doono, waayo, ilmuhu wuxuu dhiman doonaa isagoo boqol sannadood jira, dembilaha boqol sannadood jirase wuxuu ahaan doonaa mid inkaaran. 21 Guryay dhisan doonaan, wayna degi doonaan, oo beero canab ahna way beeran doonaan, midhahoodana way cuni doonaan. 22 Si uu mid kale u dego, guryo ma ay dhisi doonaan, oo si uu mid kale u cuno, beero ma ay beeran doonaan, waayo, dadkayga cimrigiisu wuxuu ahaan doonaa sidii geed cimrigiis, oo kuwayga aan doortayna wakhti dheer ayay shuqulka gacmahooda ku farxi doonaan. 23 Si aan waxba tarin uma ay hawshoon doonaan, oo masiibona carruur uma ay dhali doonaan, waayo, iyagu waa farcankii kuwii Rabbigu barakeeyey, iyaga iyo carruurtoodaba. 24 Intaanay dhawaaqin ayaan u jawaabi doonaa, oo intay weli hadlayaan ayaan maqli doonaa. 25 Yeyda iyo baraarku way isla wada daaqi doonaan, libaaxuna sida dibi oo kale caws buu u cuni doonaa, oo boodhkuna abeesada quudkeeduu ahaan doonaa. Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Buurtayda quduuska ah oo dhan waxba kuma yeeli doonaan, waxna kuma baabbi'in doonaan.
