Isaiah 66

1 thus to say LORD [the] heaven throne my and [the] land: country/planet footstool foot my where? this house: temple which to build to/for me and where? this place resting my

This is what Yahweh says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where then is the house you will build for me? Where is the place where I may rest?

My hand has made all these things; that is how these things came to be—this is Yahweh's declaration. This is the man of whom I approve, the broken and contrite in spirit, and who trembles at my word.

3 to slaughter [the] cattle to smite man to sacrifice [the] sheep to break the neck dog to ascend: offer up offering blood swine to remember frankincense to bless evil: wickedness also they(masc.) to choose in/on/with way: conduct their and in/on/with abomination their soul their to delight in

He who slaughters an ox also murders a man; he who sacrifices a lamb also breaks a dog's neck; he who offers a grain offering offers swine's blood; he who offers a memorial of incense also blesses wickedness. They have chosen their own ways, and they take pleasure in their abominations.

4 also I to choose in/on/with caprice their and fear their to come (in): bring to/for them because to call: call to and nothing to answer to speak: speak and not to hear: hear and to make: do [the] bad: evil in/on/with eye my and in/on/with in which not to delight in to choose

In the same way I will choose their own punishment; I will bring on them what they fear, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, no one listened. They did what was evil in my sight, and chose to do what displeases me.”

Hear the word of Yahweh, you who tremble at his word, “Your brothers who hate and exclude you for my name's sake have said, 'May Yahweh be glorified, then we will see your joy,' but they will be put to shame.

6 voice: sound roar from city voice: sound from temple voice: sound LORD to complete recompense to/for enemy his

A sound of battle tumult comes from the city, a sound from the temple, the sound of Yahweh paying back his enemies.

Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Will a land be born in one day? Can a nation be established in one moment? Yet as soon as Zion goes into labor, she gives birth to her children.

9 I to break and not to beget to say LORD if: surely no I [the] to beget and to restrain to say God your

Do I bring a baby to the birth opening and not permit the child to be born?—asks Yahweh. Or do I bring a child to moment of delivery and then hold it back?—asks your God.”

13 like/as man which mother his to be sorry: comfort him so I to be sorry: comfort you and in/on/with Jerusalem to be sorry: comfort

As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you, and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”

14 and to see: see and to rejoice heart your and bone your like/as grass to sprout and to know hand: power LORD with servant/slave his and be indignant [obj] enemy his

You will see this, and your heart will rejoice, and your bones will sprout like the tender grass. The hand of Yahweh will be made known to his servants, but he will show his anger against his enemies.

For Yahweh executes judgment on mankind by fire and with his sword. Those killed by Yahweh will be many.

They consecrate themselves and make themselves pure, so they may enter the gardens, following the one in the middle of those who eat the flesh of pig and abominable things like mice. “They will come to an end—this is Yahweh's declaration.

18 and I deed their and plot their to come (in): come to/for to gather [obj] all [the] nation and [the] tongue: language and to come (in): come and to see: see [obj] glory my

For I know their deeds and their thoughts. The time is coming when I will gather all nations and languages. They will come and will see my glory.

I will set a mighty sign among them. Then I will send survivors from them to the nations: To Tarshish, Put, and Lud, archers who draw their bows, to Tubal, Javan, and to the distant coastlands where they have not heard about me nor seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory among the nations.

20 and to come (in): bring [obj] all brother: compatriot your from all [the] nation offering to/for LORD in/on/with horse and in/on/with chariot and in/on/with litter and in/on/with mule and in/on/with dromedary upon mountain: mount holiness my Jerusalem to say LORD like/as as which to come (in): bring son: descendant/people Israel [obj] [the] offering in/on/with article/utensil pure house: temple LORD

They will bring back all your brothers out of all the nations, as an offering to Yahweh.

For the people of Israel will bring a grain offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh.

Some of these I will even choose as priests and Levites—says Yahweh.
