Syner: domar och löften
(1:1—5:30)
Budskap till ett upproriskt folk
1 Detta är de syner som Jesaja, Amos[a] son, såg om Juda och Jerusalem, när Ussia, Jotam, Achas och Hiskia var kungar i Juda.
2 Hör, himlar, och lyssna, jord,
för Herren talar.
”Barn som jag har fostrat och vårdat
har vänt sig emot mig.
3 Oxen känner sin ägare
och åsnan sin herres krubba,
men Israel känner inget,
mitt folk förstår inte.”
4 Ve detta syndiga folk,
tyngt av skuld,
de gudlösas avkomma,
dessa vanartiga barn.
De har övergett Herren,
föraktat Israels Helige
och vänt honom ryggen.
5 Har ni inte blivit tillräckligt slagna,
när ni fortsätter med ert trots?
Hela huvudet är sjukt
och hela hjärtat försvagat.
6 Från foten till huvudet finns det ingenting helt,
bara blåmärken, ärr och infekterade sår,
som inte är urkramade,
som är utan förband,
som inte är behandlade med olja.
7 Ert land ligger i ruiner,
och era städer är nerbrända.
Medan ni ser på förtär främlingar era åkrar.
Landet ligger skövlat som efter främlingars framfart[b].
8 Dotter Sion har lämnats
som en hydda i en vingård
eller ett vaktskjul på gurkfältet,
som en belägrad stad.
9 Om härskarornas Herre inte hade lämnat en liten rest av oss,
hade vi blivit som Sodom
och skulle likna Gomorra.
10 Lyssna till Herrens ord, ni Sodoms furstar,
hör vår Guds lag, ni Gomorras folk!
11 ”Vad angår mig alla era slaktoffer?
säger Herren.
Jag har fått nog av brännoffer av baggar
och av det feta från gödda djur.
Jag har ingen glädje av blodet
från tjurar, lamm och getter.
12 Vem har begärt av er,
att ni ska klampa in så här över mina förgårdar,
när ni kommer inför mig?
13 Sluta att komma med era meningslösa offer,
offerröken är avskyvärd för mig.
Nymånadsfester och sabbater, era utlysta högtider –
jag står inte ut med era sammankomster!
De är besudlade med orätt.
14 Jag hatar era nymånadsfester och högtider,
de har blivit en börda för mig,
och jag orkar inte bära den.
15 När ni sträcker upp era händer
döljer jag min blick.
Hur mycket ni än ber lyssnar jag inte.
Era händer är täckta med blod.
16 Tvätta er, bli rena!
Låt mig slippa se era onda gärningar,
sluta upp med er ondska!
17 Lär er att göra det goda,
sök rättvisa.
Uppmuntra den förtryckte[c],
ställ upp för faderlösa,
och för änkans talan.
18 Kom och låt oss göra upp med varandra!”
säger Herren.
”Även om era synder är blodröda
ska de bli vita som snö,
även om de är purpurröda
ska de bli vita som ull.
19 Om ni är villiga att lyda mig,
ska ni få äta av landets goda.
20 Men om ni vägrar och är upproriska,
kommer ni att förgöras med svärd.” Herren har talat.
Sions berg
21 Se, hur den trogna staden blivit en hora!
Den var full av rätt,
och rättfärdighet bodde därinne,
men nu bor där bara mördare.
22 Ditt silver har blivit slagg,
ditt vin är utspätt med vatten.
23 Dina ledare är upprorsmakare
och vänner med tjuvar.
Allesammans tar de mutor
och jagar efter vinning.
De bryr sig inte om att försvara den faderlöse,
och änkors sak tar de sig inte an.
24 Därför säger Herren, härskarornas Herre,
Israels mäktige:
”Ve! Jag ska frigöra mig från mina fiender,
och min hämnd ska drabba mina motståndare.
25 Jag ska vända min hand mot dig,
smälta bort ditt slagg som med lut
och avlägsna all din orenhet.
26 Sedan ska jag ge dig domare,
sådana som du en gång hade,
och rådgivare som de du hade förr.
Då ska du kallas ’rättfärdighetens stad’
och ’den trogna staden.’ ”
27 Genom rätt ska Sion räddas,
genom rättfärdighet de som vänder åter.
28 Men överträdarna och syndarna ska gå under,
de som överger Herren ska förgås.
29 ”Då ska ni få skämmas
över de ekar som var er lust
och vanhedras för de lundar
som ni har utvalt.
30 Ni ska bli som en terebint med vissnade löv,
som en lund utan vatten.
31 Den mäktige ska bli som fnöske
och hans ogärningar som en gnista.
Tillsammans ska de brinna upp i en eld
som ingen kan släcka.”

Isaiah 1
GOD’S WORD Translation
Isaiah 1
GOD’S WORD Translation
1 This is the vision which Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem at the time of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.
The Lord Accuses Israel of Sin
2 Listen, heaven, and pay attention, earth!
The Lord has spoken,
“I raised ⌞my⌟ children and helped them grow,
but they have rebelled against me.
3 Oxen know their owners,
and donkeys know where their masters feed them.
But Israel doesn’t know ⌞its owner⌟.
My people don’t understand ⌞who feeds them⌟.
4 “How horrible it will be for a nation that sins.
⌞Its⌟ people are loaded down with guilt.
They are descendants of evildoers
and destructive children.
They have abandoned the Lord.
They have despised the Holy One of Israel.
They have turned their backs on him.
5 “Why do you still want to be beaten?
Why do you continue to rebel?
Your whole head is infected.
Your whole heart is failing.
6 From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head
there is no healthy spot left on your ⌞body⌟—
only bruises, sores, and fresh wounds.
They haven’t been cleansed, bandaged,
or soothed with oil.
7 “Your country is devastated.
Your cities are burned down.
Your fields are destroyed right before your eyes by foreigners.
Your fields are devastated and taken over by foreigners.
8 My people Zion are left like a hut in a vineyard,
like a shack in a cucumber field,
like a city under attack.”
9 If the Lord of Armies hadn’t left us a few survivors,
we would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah.
Israel’s Corrupt Religion
10 Listen to the Lord’s word, you rulers of Sodom!
Pay attention to the teachings from our God, you people of Gomorrah!
11 The Lord asks, “What do your many animal sacrifices mean to me?
I’ve had enough of your burnt offerings of rams
and enough fat from your fattened calves.
I’m not pleased with the blood of bulls, lambs, or male goats.
12 When you appear in my presence,
who asked you to trample on my courtyards?
13 Don’t bring any more worthless grain offerings.
Your incense is disgusting to me,
so are your New Moon Festivals, your days of rest—holy days,
and the assemblies you call.
I can’t stand your evil assemblies.
14 I hate your New Moon Festivals and your appointed festivals.
They’ve become a burden to me,
and I’m tired of putting up with them.
15 So when you stretch out your hands ⌞in prayer⌟,
I will turn my eyes away from you.
Even though you offer many prayers,
I will not listen because your hands are covered with blood.
The Lord Invites Israel to Turn Away from Sin
16 “Wash yourselves! Become clean!
Get your evil deeds out of my sight.
Stop doing evil.
17 Learn to do good.
Seek justice.
Arrest oppressors.
Defend orphans.
Plead the case of widows.”
18 “Come on now, let’s discuss this!” says the Lord.
“Though your sins are bright red,
they will become as white as snow.
Though they are dark red,
they will become as white as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the best from the land.
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
you will be destroyed by swords.”
The Lord has spoken.
Jerusalem’s Future
21 How the faithful town has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice,
and righteousness lived in her.
But now murderers live there!
22 Your silver is not pure.
Your wine is watered down.
23 Your rulers are rebels, friends with thieves.
They all love bribes and run after gifts.
They never defend orphans.
They don’t notice the widows’ pleas.
24 That’s why the Lord, the Lord of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says,
“How horrible it will be when I take revenge on my opponents!
I will avenge myself against my enemies.
25 I will turn my power against you.
I will remove your impurities with bleach.
I will get rid of all your impurities.
26 I will give you judges like you had long ago,
advisers like you had in the beginning.
After that you will be called the Righteous City,
the Faithful Town.”
27 Zion will be pardoned by ⌞the Lord’s⌟ justice,
and those who return will be pardoned
by ⌞the Lord’s⌟ righteousness.
28 Rebels and sinners will be crushed at the same time,
and those who abandon the Lord will come to an end.
29 You will be ashamed of the oaks that you wanted to worship
and embarrassed by the garden that you have chosen for your gods.
30 You will be like an oak whose leaves wither
and like a garden without water.
31 Strong people will become tinder for a fire,
and their work will be the spark.
Both of them will burn together,
and there will be no one to put out the fire.
Isaiah 1
New International Version
Isaiah 1
New International Version
1 The vision(A) concerning Judah and Jerusalem(B) that Isaiah son of Amoz saw(C) during the reigns of Uzziah,(D) Jotham,(E) Ahaz(F) and Hezekiah,(G) kings of Judah.
A Rebellious Nation
2 Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!(H)
For the Lord has spoken:(I)
“I reared children(J) and brought them up,
but they have rebelled(K) against me.
3 The ox knows(L) its master,
the donkey its owner’s manger,(M)
but Israel does not know,(N)
my people do not understand.(O)”
4 Woe to the sinful nation,
a people whose guilt is great,(P)
a brood of evildoers,(Q)
children given to corruption!(R)
They have forsaken(S) the Lord;
they have spurned the Holy One(T) of Israel
and turned their backs(U) on him.
5 Why should you be beaten(V) anymore?
Why do you persist(W) in rebellion?(X)
Your whole head is injured,
your whole heart(Y) afflicted.(Z)
6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head(AA)
there is no soundness(AB)—
only wounds and welts(AC)
and open sores,
not cleansed or bandaged(AD)
or soothed with olive oil.(AE)
7 Your country is desolate,(AF)
your cities burned with fire;(AG)
your fields are being stripped by foreigners(AH)
right before you,
laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.(AI)
8 Daughter Zion(AJ) is left(AK)
like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut(AL) in a cucumber field,
like a city under siege.
9 Unless the Lord Almighty
had left us some survivors,(AM)
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.(AN)
10 Hear the word of the Lord,(AO)
you rulers of Sodom;(AP)
listen to the instruction(AQ) of our God,
you people of Gomorrah!(AR)
11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?” says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;(AS)
I have no pleasure(AT)
in the blood of bulls(AU) and lambs and goats.(AV)
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,(AW)
this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!(AX)
Your incense(AY) is detestable(AZ) to me.
New Moons,(BA) Sabbaths and convocations(BB)—
I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
14 Your New Moon(BC) feasts and your appointed festivals(BD)
I hate with all my being.(BE)
They have become a burden to me;(BF)
I am weary(BG) of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands(BH) in prayer,
I hide(BI) my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.(BJ)
16 Wash(BM) and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;(BN)
stop doing wrong.(BO)
17 Learn to do right;(BP) seek justice.(BQ)
Defend the oppressed.[a](BR)
Take up the cause of the fatherless;(BS)
plead the case of the widow.(BT)
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”(BU)
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;(BV)
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.(BW)
19 If you are willing and obedient,(BX)
you will eat the good things of the land;(BY)
20 but if you resist and rebel,(BZ)
you will be devoured by the sword.”(CA)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(CB)
21 See how the faithful city
has become a prostitute!(CC)
She once was full of justice;
righteousness(CD) used to dwell in her—
but now murderers!(CE)
22 Your silver has become dross,(CF)
your choice wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels,(CG)
partners with thieves;(CH)
they all love bribes(CI)
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.(CJ)
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
the Mighty One(CK) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
and avenge(CL) myself on my enemies.(CM)
25 I will turn my hand against you;[b](CN)
I will thoroughly purge(CO) away your dross(CP)
and remove all your impurities.(CQ)
26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old,(CR)
your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called(CS)
the City of Righteousness,(CT)
the Faithful City.(CU)”
27 Zion will be delivered with justice,
her penitent(CV) ones with righteousness.(CW)
28 But rebels and sinners(CX) will both be broken,
and those who forsake(CY) the Lord will perish.(CZ)
29 “You will be ashamed(DA) because of the sacred oaks(DB)
in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens(DC)
that you have chosen.
30 You will be like an oak with fading leaves,(DD)
like a garden without water.
31 The mighty man will become tinder
and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
with no one to quench the fire.(DE)”
