Jesajan 47
Raamattu 1933/38
47 Astu alas ja istu tomuun, sinä neitsyt, tytär Baabel, istu maahan, valtaistuinta vailla, sinä Kaldean tytär; sillä ei sinua enää kutsuta hempeäksi ja hekumalliseksi.
2 Tartu käsikiviin ja jauha jauhoja, riisu huntusi, nosta helmuksesi, paljasta sääresi, kahlaa jokien poikki.
3 Häpysi paljastuu, häpeäsi näkyy; minä kostan enkä ainoatakaan armahda.
4 Meidän lunastajamme nimi on Herra Sebaot, Israelin Pyhä.
5 Istu äänetönnä ja väisty pimeään, sinä Kaldean tytär; sillä ei sinua enää kutsuta valtakuntien valtiattareksi.
6 Minä vihastuin kansaani, annoin häväistä perintöni, minä annoin heidät sinun käsiisi; et osoittanut sinä heille sääliä, vanhuksellekin sinä teit ikeesi ylen raskaaksi.
7 Ja sinä sanoit: "Iäti minä olen valtiatar", niin ettet näitä mieleesi pannut, et loppua ajatellut.
8 Mutta nyt kuule tämä, sinä hekumassa-eläjä, joka istut turvallisena, joka sanot sydämessäsi: "Minä, eikä ketään muuta! Minä en ole leskenä istuva enkä lapsettomuudesta tietävä."
9 Mutta nämä molemmat tulevat sinun osaksesi äkisti, yhtenä päivänä: lapsettomuus ja leskeys; ne kohtaavat sinua täydeltänsä, huolimatta velhouksiesi paljoudesta, loitsujesi suuresta voimasta.
10 Sinä luotit pahuuteesi, sinä sanoit: "Ei kukaan minua näe". Sinun viisautesi ja tietosi, ne sinut eksyttivät, ja niin sinä sanoit sydämessäsi: "Minä, eikä ketään muuta!"
11 Sentähden kohtaa sinua onnettomuus, jota et osaa manata pois; sinut yllättää tuho, josta et lunnailla pääse, äkkiä kohtaa sinua perikato, aavistamattasi.
12 Astu esiin loitsuinesi ja paljoine velhouksinesi, joilla olet vaivannut itseäsi nuoruudestasi asti: ehkä hyvinkin saat avun, ehkä herätät pelkoa.
13 Sinä olet väsyttänyt itsesi paljolla neuvottelullasi. Astukoot esiin ja auttakoot sinua taivaan mittaajat, tähtien tähystäjät, jotka kuu kuulta ilmoittavat, mitä sinulle tapahtuva on.
14 Katso, he ovat kuin kuivat korret: tuli polttaa heidät; he eivät pelasta henkeään liekin vallasta. Se ei ole hiillos heidän lämmitelläkseen eikä valkea, jonka ääressä istutaan.
15 Tämän saat sinä niistä, joista olet vaivaa nähnyt: ne, joiden kanssa olet kauppaa käynyt hamasta nuoruudestasi asti, harhailevat kukin haarallensa, ei kukaan sinua pelasta.

Isaiah 47
New International Version
The Fall of Babylon
47 “Go down, sit in the dust,(A)
Virgin Daughter(B) Babylon;
sit on the ground without a throne,
queen city of the Babylonians.[a](C)
No more will you be called
tender or delicate.(D)
2 Take millstones(E) and grind(F) flour;
take off your veil.(G)
Lift up your skirts,(H) bare your legs,
and wade through the streams.
3 Your nakedness(I) will be exposed
and your shame(J) uncovered.
I will take vengeance;(K)
I will spare no one.(L)”
5 “Sit in silence,(Q) go into darkness,(R)
queen city of the Babylonians;(S)
no more will you be called
queen(T) of kingdoms.(U)
6 I was angry(V) with my people
and desecrated my inheritance;(W)
I gave them into your hand,(X)
and you showed them no mercy.(Y)
Even on the aged
you laid a very heavy yoke.
7 You said, ‘I am forever(Z)—
the eternal queen!’(AA)
But you did not consider these things
or reflect(AB) on what might happen.(AC)
8 “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure,
lounging in your security(AD)
and saying to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.(AE)
I will never be a widow(AF)
or suffer the loss of children.’
9 Both of these will overtake you
in a moment,(AG) on a single day:
loss of children(AH) and widowhood.(AI)
They will come upon you in full measure,
in spite of your many sorceries(AJ)
and all your potent spells.(AK)
10 You have trusted(AL) in your wickedness
and have said, ‘No one sees me.’(AM)
Your wisdom(AN) and knowledge mislead(AO) you
when you say to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
11 Disaster(AP) will come upon you,
and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly(AQ) come upon you.
12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,(AR)
which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror.
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!(AS)
Let your astrologers(AT) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(AU) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(AV)
the fire(AW) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.(AX)
These are not coals for warmth;
this is not a fire to sit by.
15 That is all they are to you—
these you have dealt with
and labored(AY) with since childhood.
All of them go on in their error;
there is not one that can save(AZ) you.

Isaiah 47
King James Version
Isaiah 47
King James Version
47 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
4 As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
