Isaiah 22

1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

[the] oracle of [the] valley of Vision what? [is] to you then that you have gone up all of you to the roofs.

2 O thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.

Noises - full O city turbulent O town jubilant slain [ones] your not [are] slain of a sword and not [are] dead of battle.

3 All thy rulers fled away together, they were bound by the archers: all that were found of thee were bound together, they fled afar off.

All rulers your they have fled together from a bow they have been captured all found [ones] your they were captured together from a distance they had fled.

4 Therefore said I, Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me, for the spoiling of the daughter of my people.

There-fore I said look away from me I will show bitterness with weeping may not you insist to comfort me on [the] devastation of [the] daughter of people my.

5 For it is a day of discomfiture, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the LORD of hosts, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.

6 And Elam bare the quiver, with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

And Elam it took up a quiver with chariotry of a man horsemen and Kir it uncovered a shield.

7 And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.

And it was [the] choicest of valleys your they were full chariotry and the horsemen certainly they took a stand the gate towards.

8 And he took away the covering of Judah; and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest.

And he uncovered [the] covering of Judah and you looked in the day that to [the] weaponry of [the] House of the Forest.

9 And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

And [the] breaches of [the] city of David you saw that they were many and you gathered [the] waters of the pool lower.

10 and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye brake down the houses to fortify the wall.

And [the] houses of Jerusalem you counted and you pulled down the houses to fortify the city wall.

11 ye made also a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye looked not unto him that had done this, neither had ye respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

And a reservoir - you made between the two walls for [the] water of the pool old and not you looked to [the] [one who] made it and [the] [one who] planned it from distant [time] not you considered.

12 And in that day did the Lord, the LORD of hosts, call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

And he called [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts in the day that for weeping and for wailing and for baldness and for girding of sackcloth.

13 and behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.

And there! - joy and gladness they are killing - cattle and they are slaughtering sheep they are eating meat and they are drinking wine we will eat and we will drink for tomorrow we will die.

14 And the LORD of hosts revealed himself in mine ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

And he has revealed himself in ears my Yahweh of hosts if it will be atoned for the iniquity this for you until you will die! he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.

15 Thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, [and say],

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts come go to the steward this to Shebna who [is] over the house.

16 What doest thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a sepulchre? hewing him out a sepulchre on high, graving an habitation for himself in the rock!

What? [belongs] to you here and who? [belongs] to you here that you have dug out for yourself here a tomb digging out high place tomb his cutting in the rock a dwelling for himself.

17 Behold, the LORD will hurl thee away violently as a [strong] man; yea, he will wrap thee up closely.

There! Yahweh [is] about to hurl away you hurling O man and [is] about to grasp you completely.

18 He will surely turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of thy lord’s house.

Certainly he will wind up you a winding a ball to a land broad of both hands there you will die and there [the] chariots of splendor your [will be] [the] disgrace of [the] house of master your.

19 And I will thrust thee from thine office, and from thy station shall he pull thee down.

And I will push you from office your and from post your he will tear down you.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

And it will be in the day that and I will summon servant my Eliakim [the] son of Hilkiah.

21 and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

And I will clothe him tunic your and sash your I will make firm on him and authority your I will put in hand his and he will become a father of [the] inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem and of [the] house of Judah.

22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

And I will put [the] key of [the] house of David on shoulder his and he will open and there not [will be one who] shuts and he will shut and there not [will be one who] opens.

23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.

And I will drive him a tent peg in a place firm and he will become a seat of honor for [the] house of father his.

24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.

And they will hang on him all - [the] honor of [the] house of father his the descendants and the offshoot all [the] vessels of the small from [the] vessels of the bowls and unto all [the] vessels of the jars.

25 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the LORD hath spoken it.
