Isaías 29
Lutherbibel Bolsinger (1545)
1Wehe Ariel, Ariel, du Stadt des Lagers Davids! Ihr haltet Jahrzeiten und feiert Feste.
2Aber ich will den Ariel angsten, dad er traurig und jammerig sei, und soil mir ein rechter Ariel sein.
3Denn ich will dich belagern rings umher und will dich angsten mit Bollwerk und will Walle urn dich auffuhren lassen.
4Alsdann sollst du geniedriget werden und aus der Erde reden und aus dem Staube mit deiner Rede murmeln, dad deine Stimme sei wie eines Zauberers aus der Erde und deine Rede aus dem Staube wispele.
5Und die Menge, die dich zerstreuen, werden so viel sein als ein dunner Staub und die Menge der Tyrannen wie eine webende Spreu; und das soil plotzlich bald geschehen.
6Denn du wirst vom HERRN Zebaoth heimgesucht werden mit Wetter und Erdbeben und grodem Donner, mit Windwirbel und Ungewitter und mit Flammen des verzehrenden Feuers.
7Aber wie ein Nachtgesicht im Traum, so soil sein die Menge aller Heiden, so wider Ariel streiten, samt all ihrem Heer und Bollwerk, und die ihn angsten.
8Denn gleichwie einem Hungrigen traumet, dad er esse, wenn er aber aufwacht, so ist seine Seele noch leer, und wie einem Durstigen traumet, dad er trinke, wenn er aber aufwacht, ist er matt und durstig: also sollen sein die Menge aller Heiden, die wider den Berg Zion streiten.
9Erstarret und werdet besturzt, verblendet euch und werdet trunken, doch nicht vom Wein; taumelt, doch nicht von starkem Getranke.
10Denn der HERR hat euch einen Geist des harten Schlafs eingeschenkt und eure Augen zugetan; eure Propheten und Fursten samt den Sehern hat er geblendet,
11dad euch aller (Propheten) Gesichte sein werden wie die Worte eines versiegelten Buchs, welches, so man's gabe einem, der lesen kann, und sprache: Lieber, lies das! und er sprache: Ich kann nicht, denn es ist versiegelt,
12Oder gleich als wenn man's gabe dem, der nicht lesen kann, und sprache: Lieber, lies das! und er sprache: Ich kann nicht lesen.
13Und der HERR spricht: Darum dad dies Volk zu mir nahet mit seinem Munde und mit seinen Lippen mich ehret, aber ihr Herz feme von mir ist, und mich furchten nach Menschengebot, die sie lehren,
14so will ich auch mit diesem Volk wunderlich umgehen, aufs wunderlichste und seltsamste, dad die Weisheit seiner Weisen untergehe und der Verstand seiner Klugen verblendet werde.
15Wehe, die verborgen sein wollen vordem HERRN, ihr Vornehmen zu verhehlen, und ihr Tun, im Finstern halten und sprechen: Wersiehet uns? und wer kennet uns?
16Wie seid ihr so verkehrt! Gleich als wenn des Topfers Ton gedachte und ein Werk sprache von seinem Meister: Er hat mich nicht gemacht, und ein Gemachte sprache von seinem Topfer: Er kennet mich nicht.
17Wohlan, es ist noch urn ein klein wenig zu tun, so soil Libanon ein Feld werden, und das Feld soil ein Wald gerechnet werden.
18Denn zurselbigen Zeit werden die Tauben hdren die Worte des Buchs, und die Augen der Blinden werden aus dem Dunkel und Finsternis sehen,
19und die Elenden werden wieder Freude haben am HERRN, und die Armen unterden Menschen werden frohlich sein in dem Heiligen Israels,
20wenn die Tyrannen ein Ende haben, und mit den Spottern aus sein wird, und vertilget sein werden alle die, so wachen, Muhe anzurichten,
21welche die Leute sundigen machen durchs Predigen und stellen dem nach, der sie straft im Tor, weichen durch Lugen vom Gerechten.
22Darum spricht der HERR, der Abraham erloset hat, zum Hause Jakob also: Jakob soil nicht mehr zuschanden werden, und sein Antlitz soil sich nicht mehrschamen.
23Denn wenn sie sehen werden ihre Kinder, die Werke meiner Hande unter ihnen, werden sie meinen Namen heiligen und werden den Heiligen in Jakob heiligen und den Gott Israels furchten.
24Denn die, so irrigen Geist haben, werden Verstand annehmen, und die Schwatzer werden sich lehren lassen.
Reina-Valera 1909
1¡AY de Ariel, ciudad donde habitó David! Añadid un año á otro, mátense víctimas.
2Mas yo pondré á Ariel en apretura, y será desconsolada y triste; y será á mí como Ariel.
3Porque asentaré campo contra ti en derredor, y te combatiré con ingenios, y levantaré contra ti baluartes.
4Entonces serás humillada, hablarás desde la tierra, y tu habla saldrá del polvo; y será tu voz de la tierra como de pythón, y tu habla susurrará desde el polvo.
5Y la muchedumbre de tus extranjeros será como polvo menudo, y la multitud de los fuertes como tamo que pasa; y será repentinamente, en un momento.
6De Jehová de los ejércitos serás visitada con truenos y con terremotos y con gran ruido, con torbellino y tempestad, y llama de fuego consumidor.
7Y será como sueño de visión nocturna la multitud de todas las gentes que pelearán contra Ariel, y todos los que pelearán contra ella y sus ingenios, y los que la pondrán en apretura.
8Y será como el que tiene hambre y sueña, y parece que come; mas cuando despierta, su alma está vacía; ó como el que tiene sed y sueña, y parece que bebe; mas cuando se despierta, hállase cansado, y su alma sedienta: así será la multitud de todas las gentes que pelearán contra el monte de Sión.
9Deteneos y maravillaos; ofuscaos y cegad; embriagaos, y no de vino; titubead, y no de sidra.
10Porque Jehová extendió sobre vosotros espíritu de sueño, y cerró vuestros ojos: cubrió vuestros profetas, y vuestros principales videntes.
11Y os será toda visión como palabras de libro sellado, el cual si dieren al que sabe leer, y le dijeren: Lee ahora esto; él dirá: No puedo, porque está sellado.
12Y si se diere el libro al que no sabe leer, diciéndole: Lee ahora esto; él dirá: No sé leer.
13Dice pues el Señor: Porque este pueblo se me acerca con su boca, y con sus labios me honra, mas su corazón alejó de mí, y su temor para conmigo fué enseñado por mandamiento de hombres:
14Por tanto, he aquí que nuevamente excitaré yo la admiración de este pueblo con un prodigio grande y espantoso; porque perecerá la sabiduría de sus sabios, y se desvanecerá la prudencia de sus prudentes.
15¡Ay de los que se esconden de Jehová, encubriendo el consejo, y sus obras son en tinieblas, y dicen: ¿Quién nos ve, y quién nos conoce?
16Vuestra subversión ciertamente será reputada como el barro del alfarero. ¿La obra dirá de su hacedor, No me hizo; y dirá el vaso de aquel que lo ha formado, No entendió?
17¿No será tornado de aquí á muy poco tiempo el Líbano en Carmelo, y el Carmelo será estimado por bosque?
18Y en aquel tiempo los sordos oirán las palabras del libro, y los ojos de los ciegos verán en medio de la oscuridad y de las tinieblas.
19Entonces los humildes crecerán en alegría en Jehová, y los pobres de los hombres se gozarán en el Santo de Israel.
20Porque el violento será acabado, y el escarnecedor será consumido: serán talados todos los que madrugaban á la iniquidad.
21Los que hacían pecar al hombre en palabra; los que armaban lazo al que reprendía en la puerta, y torcieron lo justo en vanidad.
22Por tanto, Jehová que redimió á Abraham, dice así á la casa de Jacob: No será ahora confundido Jacob, ni su rostro se pondrá pálido;
23Porque verá á sus hijos, obra de mis manos en medio de sí, que santificarán mi nombre; y santificarán al Santo de Jacob, y temerán al Dios de Israel.
24Y los errados de espíritu aprenderán inteligencia, y los murmuradores aprenderán doctrina.
King James Version
1Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
3And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
4And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
9Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
11And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
13Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
22Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
World English Bible
1Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
2then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
3I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
4You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
5But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
6She will be visited by the LORD of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
7The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
9Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.
11All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed;”
12and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t read.”
13The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;
14therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”
15Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from the LORD, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
16You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay, that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
17Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
18In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19The humble also will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—
21who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for one who reproves in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
22Therefore the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
23But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”
