< Isaiah 14 >

1 [But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
Sillä Herra armahtaa Jaakobia ja valitsee vielä Israelin ja sijoittaa heidät heidän omaan maahansa; muukalaiset liittyvät heihin ja yhtyvät Jaakobin heimoon.
2 People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
Kansat ottavat heidät ja tuovat heidät heidän kotiinsa, ja Israelin heimo saa heidät Herran maassa omiksensa, orjiksi ja orjattariksi, ja he vangitsevat vangitsijansa ja vallitsevat käskijöitänsä.
3 Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
Ja sinä päivänä, jona Herra päästää sinut rauhaan vaivastasi, tuskastasi ja siitä kovasta työstä, jota sinulla teetettiin,
4 When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
sinä virität tämän pilkkalaulun Baabelin kuninkaasta ja sanot: "Kuinka on käskijästä tullut loppu, tullut loppu ahdistuksesta!
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
Herra on murtanut jumalattomain sauvan, valtiaitten vitsan,
6 You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
joka kiukussa löi kansoja, löi lakkaamatta, joka vihassa vallitsi kansakuntia, vainosi säälimättä.
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
Kaikki maa on saanut levon ja rauhan, he puhkeavat riemuun.
8 [It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
Kypressitkin sinusta iloa pitävät sekä Libanonin setrit: 'Sinun maata mentyäsi ei nouse kukaan meitä hakkaamaan'.
9 The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
Tuonela tuolla alhaalla liikkuu sinun tähtesi, ottaaksensa sinut vastaan, kun tulet. Se herättää haamut sinun tähtesi, kaikki maan johtomiehet, nostattaa valtaistuimiltansa kaikki kansojen kuninkaat. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
Kaikki he lausuvat ja sanovat sinulle: 'Myös sinä olet riutunut niinkuin mekin, olet tullut meidän kaltaiseksemme'.
11 You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
Alas tuonelaan on vaipunut sinun komeutesi, sinun harppujesi helinä; sinun allasi ovat vuoteena madot, toukat ovat peittonasi. (Sheol h7585)
12 You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
Kuinka olet taivaalta pudonnut, sinä kointähti, aamuruskon poika! Kuinka olet maahan syösty, sinä kansojen kukistaja!
13 You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
Sinä sanoit sydämessäsi: 'Minä nousen taivaaseen, korkeammalle Jumalan tähtiä minä istuimeni korotan ja istun ilmestysvuorelle, pohjimmaiseen Pohjolaan.
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
Minä nousen pilvien kukkuloille, teen itseni Korkeimman vertaiseksi.'
15 [But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Mutta sinut heitettiin alas tuonelaan, pohjimmaiseen hautaan. (Sheol h7585)
16 The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
Jotka sinut näkevät, ne katsovat pitkään, tarkastavat sinua: 'Onko tämä se mies, joka järisytti maan, järkytti valtakunnat,
17 Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
joka teki maanpiirin erämaaksi ja hävitti sen kaupungit, joka ei päästänyt vankejansa kotiin?'
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
Kansojen kuninkaat kaikki lepäävät kunniassa, kukin kammiossansa.
19 but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
Mutta sinä olet kaukana haudastasi, poisviskattuna niinkuin hylkyvesa, olet peittynyt surmattujen, miekalla lävistettyjen, kiviseen kuoppaan suistuneitten alle, olet kuin tallattu raato.
20 Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
Et sinä saa yhtyä heidän kanssaan haudassa, sillä sinä olet maasi hävittänyt, kansasi tappanut. Ei ikinä enää mainita pahantekijäin sukua.
21 [People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
Laittakaa hänen lapsillensa verilöyly heidän isiensä pahain tekojen tähden, etteivät he nousisi ottamaan omaksensa maata ja täyttäisi maanpiiriä kaupungeilla."
22 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
Minä nousen heitä vastaan, sanoo Herra Sebaot, ja hävitän Baabelilta nimen ja jäännöksen, suvun ja jälkeläiset, sanoo Herra.
23 I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
Minä teen sen tuonenkurkien perinnöksi ja vesirämeeksi, minä lakaisen sen pois hävityksen luudalla, sanoo Herra Sebaot.
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
Herra Sebaot on vannonut sanoen: Totisesti, mitä minä olen ajatellut, se tapahtuu, mitä minä olen päättänyt, se toteutuu:
25 [When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
minä muserran Assurin maassani ja tallaan hänet vuorillani, niin että hänen ikeensä heltiää heidän päältään ja hänen kuormansa heltiää heidän hartioiltansa.
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
Tämä on päätös, päätetty kaikesta maasta, tämä on käsi, ojennettu kaikkien kansojen yli.
27 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
Sillä Herra Sebaot on päättänyt, -kuka sen tyhjäksi tekee? Hänen kätensä on ojennettu, -kuka sen torjuu?
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
Kuningas Aahaan kuolinvuotena tuli tämä ennustus:
29 You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
Älä iloitse, Filistea kaikkinesi, siitä että sauva, joka sinua löi, on murtunut. Sillä käärmeen juuresta kasvaa myrkkylisko, ja sen hedelmä on lentävä käärme.
30 Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
Vaivaisista kurjimmat löytävät laitumen, ja köyhät saavat turvassa levätä, mutta sinun juuresi minä tapan nälkään, ja sinun jäännöksesi surmataan.
31 [So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
Valita, portti, huuda, kaupunki; menehdy pelkoon, Filistea kaikkinesi, sillä pohjoisesta tulee savu; eikä yksikään erkane vihollisen riveistä.
32 If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
Ja mitä vastataan pakanakansan sanansaattajille? "Herra on perustanut Siionin, ja hänen kansansa kurjat saavat siinä turvan".
