Yeşaya 25

¹Ey Tanrım olan Rab, seni yücelteceğim, adını ilahilerle öveceğim; çünkü harika işler, kadim ve sadık tasarılar gerçekleştirdin; öyle olsun, ey Rab.

²Çünkü kentleri toprak yığınına, temelleri çökmesin diye tahkim edilmiş güçlü kentleri harabeye çevirdin; yasa tanımazların kenti sonsuza dek bir daha asla inşa edilmeyecektir.

³Bu yüzden yoksul halk seni kutsayacak ve haksızlığa uğrayan insanların kentleri seni övecektir.

⁴Çünkü sen her mazlum kente yardımcı, yoksunluktan ötürü cesareti kırılanlara sığınak oldun; onları kötü insanlardan kurtaracaksın; sen susayanların sığınağı ve haksızlığa uğrayan insanların ruhusun.

⁵Bizi kendilerine teslim ettiğin o tanrısız insanlar yüzünden, Siyon'da susayan cesaretsiz insanlar gibiydik.

⁶Ve Her Şeye Egemen Rab bu dağda bütün uluslara hazırlayacak; coşku içecekler, şarap içecekler.

⁷Bu dağda güzel kokulu yağlar sürünecekler; bunların hepsini uluslara ilet, çünkü bu tasarı bütün ulusların üzerinedir.

⁸Ölüm güç kazanarak yuttu ve Rab Tanrı her yüzden her gözyaşını yine sildi; halkının utancını bütün yeryüzünden kaldırdı, çünkü bunu Rab'bin ağzı söyledi.

⁹Ve o gün şöyle diyecekler: "İşte Tanrımız! O'na umut bağlamıştık ve coşmuştuk, O bizi kurtaracak; Rab O'dur, O'nu sabırla beklemiştik; O'nun kurtarışıyla coşup sevineceğiz."

¹⁰Çünkü Tanrı bu dağda huzur verecek ve harman yerinin arabalarla çiğnendiği gibi, Moav ülkesi de ayaklar altında çiğnenecek.

¹¹Ve yok etmek için kendisi nasıl alçalttıysa, ellerini de öyle uzatacak; ellerini uzattığı her şeye karşı onun küstahlığını alçaltacak.

¹²Ve surlarının sığınağının yüksekliğini alçaltacak, onlar da yere, toprağa kadar inecek.

¹ΚΥΡΙΕ ὁ Θεός μου, δοξάσω σε, ὑμνήσω τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι ἐποίησας θαυμαστὰ πράγματα, βουλὴν ἀρχαίαν ἀληθινήν· γένοιτο, Κύριε·

²ὅτι ἔθηκας πόλεις εἰς χῶμα, πόλεις ὀχυρὰς τοῦ μὴ πεσεῖν αὐτῶν τὰ θεμέλια· τῶν ἀσεβῶν πόλις εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐ μὴ οἰκοδομηθῇ.

³διὰ τοῦτο εὐλογήσει σε ὁ λαὸς ὁ πτωχός, καὶ πόλεις ἀνθρώπων ἀδικουμένων εὐλογήσουσί σε·

⁴ἐγένου γὰρ πάσῃ πόλει ταπεινῇ βοηθὸς καὶ τοῖς ἀθυμήσασι δι᾿ ἔνδειαν σκέπη, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων πονηρῶν ῥύσῃ αὐτούς, σκέπη διψώντων καὶ πνεῦμα ἀνθρώπων ἀδικουμένων.

⁵ὡς ἄνθρωποι ὀλιγόψυχοι διψῶντες ἐν Σιών, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων ἀσεβῶν, οἷς ἡμᾶς παρέδωκας.

⁶καὶ ποιήσει Κύριος σαβαὼθ πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τοῦτο. πίονται εὐφροσύνην, πίονται οἶνον.

⁷Χρίσονται μύρον ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ. παράδος ταῦτα πάντα τοῖς ἔθνεσιν· ἡ γὰρ βουλὴ αὕτη ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.

⁸κατέπιεν ὁ θάνατος ἰσχύσας, καὶ πάλιν ἀφεῖλε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς πᾶν δάκρυον ἀπὸ παντὸς προσώπου· τὸ ὄνειδος τοῦ λαοῦ ἀφεῖλεν ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς, τὸ γὰρ στόμα Κυρίου ἐλάλησε.

⁹καὶ ἐροῦσι τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· ἰδοὺ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐφ᾿ ᾧ ἠλπίζομεν καὶ ἠγαλλιώμεθα, καὶ σώσει ἡμᾶς. οὗτος Κύριος, ὑπεμείναμεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀγαλλιασόμεθα καὶ ἐφρανθησόμεθα ἐπὶ τῇ σωτηρίᾳ ἡμῶν,

¹⁰ὅτι ἀνάπαυσιν δώσει ὁ Θεὸς ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τοῦτο, καὶ καταπατηθήσεται ἡ Μωαβῖτις, ὃν τρόπον πατοῦσιν ἅλωνα ἐν ἁμάξαις·

¹¹καὶ ἀνήσει τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ, ὃν τρόπον καὶ αὐτὸς ἐταπείνωσε τοῦ ἀπολέσαι, καὶ ταπεινώσει τὴν ὕβριν αὐτοῦ, ἐφ᾿ ἃ τὰς χεῖρας ἐπέβαλε·

¹²καὶ τὸ ὕψος τῆς καταφυγῆς τοῦ τοίχου ταπεινώσει, καὶ καταβήσεται ἕως τοῦ ἐδάφους.

¹O Lord God, I will glorify thee, I will sing to thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, [even] an ancient [and] faithful counsel. So be it.

²For thou hast made cities a heap, [even] cities [made] strong that their foundations should not fall: the city of ungodly men shall not be built for ever.

³Therefore shall the poor people bless thee, and cities of injured men shall bless thee.

⁴For thou hast been a helper to every lowly city, and a shelter to them that were disheartened by reason of poverty: thou shalt deliver them from wicked men: [thou hast been] a shelter of them that thirst, and a refreshing air to injured men.

⁵[We were] as faint-hearted men thirsting in Sion, by reason of ungodly men to whom thou didst deliver us.

⁶And the Lord of hosts shall make [a feast] for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine:

⁷they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart thou all these things to the nations; for this is [God’s] counsel upon all the nations.

⁸Death has prevailed and swallowed [men] up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of [his] people from all the earth: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.

⁹And in that day they shall say, behold our God in whom we have trusted, and he shall save us: this [is] the Lord; we have waited for him, and we have exulted, and will rejoice in our salvation.

¹⁰God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down, as they tread the floor with waggons.

¹¹And he shall spread forth his hands, even as he also brings down [man] to destroy [him]: and he shall bring low his pride [in regard to the thing] on which he has laid his hands.

¹²And he shall bring down the height of the refuge of the wall, and it shall come down even to the ground.
