Jesaja 25
Schlachter 2000
Lob Gottes angesichts der Segnungen des messianischen Friedensreiches
25 O Herr, du bist mein Gott; dich will ich erheben! Ich lobe deinen Namen, denn du hast Wunder getan; deine Ratschlüsse von alters her sind zuverlässig und wahrhaftig!
2 Denn du hast die Stadt zum Steinhaufen gemacht, die feste Burg zum Trümmerhaufen, den Palast der Fremden zu einer untergegangenen Stadt; ewiglich wird sie nicht mehr aufgebaut werden.
3 Darum ehrt dich auch ein mächtiges Volk, die Städte gewalttätiger Nationen fürchten dich;
4 denn du bist dem Schwachen eine Zuflucht geworden, eine Zuflucht dem Armen in seiner Not, ein Schirm vor dem Wolkenbruch, ein Schatten vor der Hitze, als der Zornhauch der Tyrannen wie ein Unwetter gegen eine Wand [daherkam].
5 Wie die Sonnenglut in einer dürren Gegend, so dämpfst du das Toben der Fremden; wie die Sonnenglut durch den Schatten einer Wolke, so legt sich der Triumphgesang der Tyrannen.
6 Und der Herr der Heerscharen wird auf diesem Berg allen Völkern ein Mahl von fetten Speisen bereiten, ein Mahl von alten Weinen, von fetten, markigen Speisen, von alten, geläuterten Weinen.
7 Und er wird auf diesem Berg die Schleierhülle wegnehmen[a], die alle Völker verhüllt, und die Decke, womit alle Nationen bedeckt sind.
8 Er wird den Tod auf ewig verschlingen. Und Gott, der Herr, wird die Tränen abwischen von jedem Angesicht und die Schmach seines Volkes hinwegnehmen von der ganzen Erde. Ja, der Herr hat [es] gesprochen.
9 Und an jenem Tag wird man sagen: Seht, das ist unser Gott, auf den wir gehofft haben, dass er uns rette; das ist der Herr, auf den wir hofften; nun lasst uns frohlocken und fröhlich sein in seiner Rettung!
10 Denn die Hand des Herrn wird auf diesem Berg ruhen; Moab aber wird unter ihm zertreten werden, wie Stroh in der Mistlache zertreten wird.
11 Und sollte es auch seine Hände ausbreiten, wie ein Schwimmer sie ausbreitet, um zu schwimmen, so wird Er seinen Hochmut erniedrigen trotz der Kunstgriffe seiner Hände.
12 Deine festen, hochragenden Mauern wird er niederwerfen, abreißen und zu Boden stoßen, in den Staub.

New King James Version
Praise to God
25 O Lord, You are my God.
(A)I will exalt You,
I will praise Your name,
(B)For You have done wonderful things;
(C)Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For You have made (D)a city a ruin,
A fortified city a ruin,
A palace of foreigners to be a city no more;
It will never be rebuilt.
3 Therefore the strong people will (E)glorify You;
The city of the [a]terrible nations will fear You.
4 For You have been a strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
(F)A refuge from the storm,
A shade from the heat;
For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 You will reduce the noise of aliens,
As heat in a dry place;
As heat in the shadow of a cloud,
The song of the terrible ones will be [b]diminished.
6 And in (G)this mountain
(H)The Lord of hosts will make for (I)all people
A feast of [c]choice pieces,
A feast of [d]wines on the lees,
Of fat things full of marrow,
Of well-refined wines on the lees.
7 And He will destroy on this mountain
The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And (J)the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 He will (K)swallow up death forever,
And the Lord God will (L)wipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.
9 And it will be said in that day:
“Behold, this is our God;
(M)We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
(N)We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
10 For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,
And (O)Moab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
11 And He will spread out His hands in their midst
As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their (P)pride
Together with the trickery of their hands.
12 The (Q)fortress of the high fort of your walls
He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.

New International Version
Praise to the Lord
25 Lord, you are my God;(A)
I will exalt you and praise your name,(B)
for in perfect faithfulness(C)
you have done wonderful things,(D)
things planned(E) long ago.
2 You have made the city a heap of rubble,(F)
the fortified(G) town a ruin,(H)
the foreigners’ stronghold(I) a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.(J)
3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you;(K)
cities of ruthless(L) nations will revere you.
4 You have been a refuge(M) for the poor,(N)
a refuge for the needy(O) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm(P)
and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless(Q)
is like a storm driving against a wall
5 and like the heat of the desert.
You silence(R) the uproar of foreigners;(S)
as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless(T) is stilled.
6 On this mountain(U) the Lord Almighty will prepare
a feast(V) of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
the best of meats and the finest of wines.(W)
7 On this mountain he will destroy
the shroud(X) that enfolds all peoples,(Y)
the sheet that covers all nations;
8 he will swallow up death(Z) forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears(AA)
from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace(AB)
from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.(AC)
9 In that day(AD) they will say,
“Surely this is our God;(AE)
we trusted(AF) in him, and he saved(AG) us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice(AH) and be glad in his salvation.”(AI)
10 The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain;(AJ)
but Moab(AK) will be trampled in their land
as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will stretch out their hands in it,
as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim.
God will bring down(AL) their pride(AM)
despite the cleverness[a] of their hands.
12 He will bring down your high fortified walls(AN)
and lay them low;(AO)
he will bring them down to the ground,
to the very dust.

- Isaiah 25:11 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.
Isaiah 25
English Standard Version
God Will Swallow Up Death Forever
25 O Lord, (A)you are my God;
(B)I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,
(C)plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
2 For you have made the city (D)a heap,
the fortified city a ruin;
the foreigners' palace is a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.
3 (E)Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
cities of ruthless nations will fear you.
4 (F)For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
(G)a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
(H)for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
5 (I)like heat in a dry place.
You subdue the noise of the foreigners;
as heat by the shade of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless is put down.
6 (J)On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
(K)of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
7 And he will swallow up (L)on this mountain
the covering that is cast over all peoples,
(M)the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 (N)He will swallow up death forever;
and (O)the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
and (P)the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
(Q)for the Lord has spoken.
9 It will be said on that day,
“Behold, this is our God; (R)we have waited for him, that he might save us.
This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
(S)let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest (T)on this mountain,
and (U)Moab shall be trampled down in his place,
as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.[a]
11 (V)And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it
as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim,
but the Lord (W)will lay low his pompous pride together with the skill[b] of his hands.
12 And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down,
lay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust.
