YLT
Young's Literal Translation
This
is
the burden against
Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz received
:
The burden of
Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz hath
seen
:
Raise
a
banner
on a barren
hilltop;
call
aloud
to them .
Wave your
hand, that
they may
enter
the gates
of the
nobles.
`
On a high
mountain
lift
ye
up
an
ensign,
Raise
the
voice
to them ,
wave the
hand, And
they go
in
to
the openings
of nobles.
I have commanded
My sanctified ones ;
I have even
summoned
My
warriors
to
execute
My
wrath
and
exult
in
My triumph
.
I have given
charge
to
My sanctified ones ,
Also
I have called
My mighty
ones
for
Mine
anger,
Those
rejoicing
at
Mine
excellency
. '
Listen,
a tumult
on
the mountains, like
that
of a great
multitude!
Listen
, an
uproar
among
the kingdoms ,
like
nations gathered together!
The
LORD
of Hosts is
mobilizing
an
army
for
war.
A voice
of
a
multitude
in
the mountains, A
likeness
of a numerous
people
, A
voice
of
noise
from
the kingdoms of
nations who
are
gathered ,
Jehovah
of Hosts inspecting
a
host
of
battle!
They are coming from faraway
lands
, from the ends
of the heavens —
the
LORD
and the weapons
of His wrath—
to destroy the whole
country
.
They are coming in
from a
land
afar
off
, From the end
of the heavens ,
Jehovah
and the instruments
of His indignation,
To destroy all
the land
.
Wail
, for the Day of the
LORD
is
near;
it
will
come
as destruction from the Almighty
.
Howl
ye
, for near
`is'
the day of Jehovah,
As destruction from the Mighty
it
cometh
.
Therefore all hands will
fall
limp
, and every man’s
heart will
melt.
Therefore ,
all hands do
fail
, And every heart of
man
doth
melt.
Terror,
pain
, and anguish
will
seize
them;
they will
writhe
like
a woman in
labor.
They will
look
at one
another
, their faces flushed
with
fear.
And
they
have
been
troubled
, Pains
and pangs
they take,
As
a travailing
woman they are
pained,
A
man
at his
friend
they
marvel
, The
appearance
of
flames
--
their faces !
Behold
, the Day of the
LORD
is
coming—
cruel
, with fury
and burning
anger —
to make the earth
a desolation and
to
destroy
the
sinners
within
it.
Lo
, the day of Jehovah
doth
come
, Fierce,
with wrath,
and heat
of
anger ,
To make the land
become
a desolation ,
Yea,
its
sinning
ones
He
destroyeth
from
it.
For the stars of heaven
and their constellations will
not give
their light .
The rising
sun will
be
darkened
, and the moon will
not give
its light.
For the stars of the
heavens,
and their constellations ,
Cause
not their light to
shine,
Darkened
hath
been
the sun in
its
going
out
, And the moon causeth
not its light to
come
forth
.
I will
punish
the world for
its
evil and the wicked for
their iniquity .
I
will
end
the haughtiness
of the arrogant
and lay
low
the pride
of the ruthless
.
And
I have
appointed
on
the world evil ,
And on
the wicked their iniquity ,
And
have
caused
to
cease
the excellency
of the proud,
And the excellency
of the terrible
I
make
low
.
I will
make man scarcer
than pure
gold, and mankind
rarer
than the
gold of Ophir.
I make man more
rare
than fine
gold, And a
common
man
than pure
gold of Ophir.
Therefore I
will
make
the heavens tremble, and the earth will
be
shaken
from its place at
the wrath of the
LORD
of Hosts on
the
day of His burning
anger.
Therefore the heavens I
cause
to
tremble, And the earth doth
shake
from its place ,
In
the wrath of Jehovah
of Hosts ,
And
in
a
day of the
heat
of
his anger.
Like
a
hunted
gazelle
, like
a sheep
without
a shepherd
, each will
return
to
his own
people, each will
flee
to
his native
land.
And
it
hath
been
, as
a roe
driven
away,
And
as
a flock
that
hath
no
gatherer
, Each unto
his people --
they
turn
, And
each unto
his land --
they
flee
.
Whoever
is caught
will
be
stabbed
, and whoever
is captured
will
die
by the
sword.
Every
one
who
is found
is
thrust
through
, And every
one
who
is added
falleth
by sword.
Their infants
will
be
dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses will
be
looted
, and their wives will
be
ravished
.
And
their sucklings
are
dashed to pieces before their eyes, Spoiled
are
their houses, and their wives lain
with
.
Behold
, I will
stir
up against them the Medes, who have
no
regard
for
silver and no
desire
for
gold.
Lo
, I am
stirring
up against them the Medes, Who silver esteem
not,
And gold --
they
delight
not
in
it
.
Their
bows will
dash young men to pieces ;
they
will
have
no
mercy
on
the fruit of the womb ;
they will
not
look
with
pity on the
children
.
And
bows dash young men to pieces ,
And
the fruit of the womb they pity not,
On sons
their
eye
hath
no
pity
.
And Babylon, the jewel
of the
kingdoms, the glory of
the pride
of the Chaldeans, will
be
overthrown by God like
Sodom and Gomorrah.
And Babylon, the beauty
of kingdoms, The glory ,
the excellency
of the Chaldeans, Hath
been
as
overthrown by God ,
With
Sodom and with
Gomorrah.
She will
never
be
inhabited
or
settled
from
generation
to
generation;
no
nomad
will
pitch his
tent there, no
shepherd
will
rest
his
flock
there.
She doth
not
sit
for
ever,
Nor
continueth
unto
many
generations,
Nor
doth
Arab
pitch tent there, And
shepherds
lie
not
down
there.
But
desert
creatures
will
lie
down there, and howling
creatures
will
fill
her
houses .
Ostriches
will
dwell
there, and wild
goats will
leap
about
.
And
Ziim
have
lain
down there, And full
have
been
their
houses of
howlings,
And
dwelt
there have
daughters
of
an
ostrich
, And goats do
skip
there
.
Hyenas
will
howl
in her
fortresses
and jackals
in her
luxurious
palaces .
Babylon’s
time
is at
hand
, and her days will
not be
prolonged.
And
Aiim
have
responded
in his
forsaken
habitations,
And dragons
in palaces of
delight,
And
near
to
come
`
is '
her
time
, And her days are
not drawn
out!
