Young's Literal Translation
Then
the
LORD
said
to
me, “
Take a large
scroll
and write on
it with an
ordinary
stylus:
Maher-shalal-hash-baz
.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
me, `
Take to
thee
a great
tablet,
and write upon
it with a
graving
tool
of
man,
To
haste
spoil,
enjoy
prey
. '
And I will
appoint
for
Myself
trustworthy
witnesses —
Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah
. ”
And I cause
faithful
witnesses to
testify
to
me,
Uriah the priest ,
and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah
.
And I had
relations
with
the prophetess, and she conceived
and gave
birth
to
a son .
The
LORD
said
to
me, “
Name him
Maher-shalal-hash-baz .
And I draw
near
unto
the prophetess, and she conceiveth,
and beareth
a son ;
and
Jehovah
saith
unto
me, `Call
his
name Maher-shalal-hash-baz ,
For before the boy
knows
how
to cry ‘
Father ’
or
‘
Mother, ’
the wealth of Damascus and the plunder
of Samaria will
be
carried
off
by
the king of Assyria
. ”
for before the youth
doth
know
to cry ,
My
father ,
and
My
mother, one
taketh
away
the wealth of Damascus and the spoil
of Samaria ,
before
the king of Asshur
. '
And the
LORD
spoke
to me further
:
And Jehovah
addeth
to speak
unto
me again,
saying
:
“
Because this people has
rejected
the gently
flowing
waters of Shiloah and rejoiced
in
Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
`
Because that
this people hath
refused
The waters of Shiloah that
go
softly,
And is
rejoicing
with
Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
the Lord will
surely
bring
against
them the mighty
floodwaters
of the Euphrates
—
the king of Assyria
and all his pomp.
It will
overflow
its channels
and overrun
its banks.
Therefore,
lo,
the Lord is
bringing
up
on
them ,
The waters
of the river,
the mighty
and
the
great,
(The
king of Asshur,
and all his glory,)
And
it hath
gone
up
over
all
its streams,
And hath
gone
on
over
all
its banks.
It will
pour
into Judah, swirling
and sweeping
over it
, reaching
up
to
the neck ;
its spreading
streams
will
cover
your
entire
land, O Immanuel
!
And
it hath
passed
on
into Judah, It
hath
overflown
and passed
over, Unto
the neck it
cometh,
And
the
stretching
out
of
its wings
Hath
been
the
fulness
of
the
breadth
of
thy
land, O Emmanu-El
!
Huddle
together
, O peoples
, and be shattered;
pay
attention
, all you
distant
lands;
prepare
for
battle
, and be shattered;
prepare
for
battle
, and be shattered!
Be
friends
, O nations
, and be broken
, And
give
ear,
all ye
far
off
ones
of
earth
, Gird
yourselves,
and be broken
, Gird
yourselves,
and be broken.
Devise
a
plan
, but
it will
be
thwarted;
state
a proposal
, but
it will
not happen.
For
God
is
with
us.”
Take
counsel
, and
it is
broken,
Speak
a word
, and
it doth
not stand,
Because
of
Emmanu-El!'
For this
is
what
the
LORD
has
spoken to
me with a
strong
hand, instructing
me not
to
walk
in the way of this people :
For thus
hath
Jehovah
spoken unto
me with strength
of
hand, and
instructeth
me against
walking
in the way of this people ,
saying,
“
Do not call
conspiracy
everything
these
people regard
as
conspiracy.
Do
not
fear
what
they
fear ;
do not live
in
dread
.
`Ye
do not say,
A
confederacy,
To
all
to
whom
this
people saith,
A
confederacy,
And
its
fear ye
do not fear,
Nor
declare
fearful
.
The
LORD
of Hosts is
the
One
you
shall
regard
as
holy.
Only
He should
be
feared;
only
He should
be
dreaded.
Jehovah
of Hosts --
Him
ye
do
sanctify,
And
He `is'
your
Fear,
and
He your
Dread,
And He will
be
a sanctuary —
but
to
both
houses
of
Israel
a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense
, to the dwellers
of Jerusalem
a trap
and a snare.
And He hath
been
for
a sanctuary ,
And
for
a stone of stumbling ,
and for
a rock of falling
, To the two
houses
of Israel,
For
a gin
and for
a snare to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
.
Many will
stumble
over
these;
they
will
fall
and be
broken ;
they
will
be
ensnared
and captured. ”
And
many among
them
have
stumbled
and fallen,
And
been
broken ,
and snared,
and
captured.
Bind up the testimony and
seal the law among my disciples.
Bind up the testimony ,
Seal the law among My disciples.
I will
wait
for the
LORD
, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob .
I will
put
my
trust
in
Him.
And
I have
waited
for Jehovah
, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob ,
And
I have
looked
for
Him.
Here
am
I, and the children the
LORD
has
given me as
signs and symbols
in Israel from the
LORD
of Hosts, who dwells
on
Mount Zion.
Lo,
I, and the children whom
Jehovah
hath
given to
me ,
`Are'
for
signs and for
wonders
in Israel ,
From Jehovah
of Hosts, who is
dwelling
in
Mount Zion.
When men
tell
you to
consult
the
spirits of
the
dead
and the
spiritists
who whisper
and mutter, shouldn’t
a people consult
their
God instead
? Why
consult
the
dead
on
behalf
of
the living ?
And
when they
say
unto
you ,
`Seek
unto
those
having
familiar
spirits ,
And unto
wizards,
who chatter
and mutter, Doth
not
a people seek
unto
its
God? --
For
the living unto
the
dead!
To the law and to the testimony! If they
do
not speak
according
to
this word
, they
have
no light
of
dawn.
To the law and to the testimony! If not ,
let
them
say
after
this manner
, `That
there
is
no dawn to
it
. '
They
will
roam
the
land
, dejected
and hungry .
When
they
are
famished
, they
will
become
enraged;
and looking
upward
, they
will
curse
their
king and their
God.
--
And
it
hath
passed
over
into
it
, hardened
and hungry, And it
hath
come
to
pass
, That
it
is
hungry,
and
hath
been
wroth,
And
made
light
of
its
king ,
and of
its
God ,
And
hath
looked
upwards
.
Then
they
will
look
to
the earth
and see
only
distress
and darkness and
the
gloom
of
anguish.
And they
will
be
driven
into
utter
darkness .
And
unto
the land
it
looketh
attentively,
And lo,
adversity
and darkness !
--
Dimness,
distress,
and thick
darkness is
driven
away,
But
not
the
dimness
for
which
she
is
in
distress!
