1. Thus said Jehovah, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Yea, loins of kings I loose, To open before him two-leaved doors, Yea, gates are not shut:
|
1. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 to his anointed H4899 , to Cyrus H3566 , whose H834 right hand H3225 I have holden H2388 , to subdue H7286 nations H1471 before H6440 him ; and I will loose H6605 the loins H4975 of kings H4428 , to open H6605 before H6440 him the two leaved gates H1817 ; and the gates H8179 shall not H3808 be shut H5462 ;
|
|
2. `I go before thee, and crooked places make straight, Two-leaved doors of brass I shiver, And bars of iron I cut asunder,
|
2. I H589 will go H1980 before H6440 thee , and make the crooked places straight H3474 H1921 : I will break in pieces H7665 the gates H1817 of brass H5154 , and cut in sunder H1438 the bars H1280 of iron H1270 :
|
|
3. And have given to thee treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that thou knowest that I, Jehovah, Who am calling on thy name -- am the God of Israel.
|
3. And I will give H5414 thee the treasures H214 of darkness H2822 , and hidden riches H4301 of secret places H4565 , that H4616 thou mayest know H3045 that H3588 I H589 , the LORD H3068 , which call H7121 thee by thy name H8034 , am the God H430 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
4. For the sake of my servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I call also thee by thy name, I surname thee, And thou hast not known Me.
|
4. For Jacob H3290 my servant's sake H4616 H5650 , and Israel H3478 mine elect H972 , I have even called H7121 thee by thy name H8034 : I have surnamed H3655 thee , though thou hast not H3808 known H3045 me.
|
|
5. I am Jehovah, and there is none else, Except Me there is no God, I gird thee, and thou hast not known Me.
|
5. I H589 am the LORD H3068 , and there is none H369 else H5750 , there is no H369 God H430 beside H2108 me : I girded H247 thee , though thou hast not H3808 known H3045 me:
|
|
6. So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I am Jehovah, and there is none else,
|
6. That H4616 they may know H3045 from the rising H4480 H4217 of the sun H8121 , and from the west H4480 H4628 , that H3588 there is none H657 beside H1107 me. I H589 am the LORD H3068 , and there is none H369 else H5750 .
|
|
7. Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and preparing evil, I am Jehovah, doing all these things.`
|
7. I form H3335 the light H216 , and create H1254 darkness H2822 : I make H6213 peace H7965 , and create H1254 evil H7451 : I H589 the LORD H3068 do H6213 all H3605 these H428 things .
|
|
8. Drop, ye heavens, from above, And clouds do cause righteousness to flow, Earth openeth, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, Jehovah, have prepared it.
|
8. Drop down H7491 , ye heavens H8064 , from above H4480 H4605 , and let the skies H7834 pour down H5140 righteousness H6664 : let the earth H776 open H6605 , and let them bring forth H6509 salvation H3468 , and let righteousness H6666 spring up H6779 together H3162 ; I H589 the LORD H3068 have created H1254 it.
|
|
9. Wo to him who is striving with his Former, (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Doth clay say to its Framer, `What dost thou?` And thy work, `He hath no hands?`
|
9. Woe H1945 unto him that striveth H7378 with H854 his Maker H3335 ! Let the potsherd H2789 strive with H854 the potsherds H2789 of the earth H127 . Shall the clay H2563 say H559 to him that fashioneth H3335 it, What H4100 makest H6213 thou? or thy work H6467 , He hath no H369 hands H3027 ?
|
|
10. Wo to him who is saying to a father, `What dost thou beget?` Or to a wife, `What dost thou bring forth?
|
10. Woe H1945 unto him that saith H559 unto his father H1 , What H4100 begettest H3205 thou? or to the woman H802 , What H4100 hast thou brought forth H2342 ?
|
|
11. Thus said Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Yea, concerning the work of My hands, ye command Me.`
|
11. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 , and his Maker H3335 , Ask H7592 me of things to come H857 concerning H5921 my sons H1121 , and concerning H5921 the work H6467 of my hands H3027 command H6680 ye me.
|
|
12. I made earth, and man on it prepared, I -- My hands stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded.
|
12. I H595 have made H6213 the earth H776 , and created H1254 man H120 upon H5921 it: I H589 , even my hands H3027 , have stretched out H5186 the heavens H8064 , and all H3605 their host H6635 have I commanded H6680 .
|
|
13. I have stirred him up in righteousness, And all his ways I make straight, He doth build My city, and My captivity doth send out, Not for price, nor for bribe, said Jehovah of Hosts.
|
13. I H595 have raised him up H5782 in righteousness H6664 , and I will direct H3474 all H3605 his ways H1870 : he H1931 shall build H1129 my city H5892 , and he shall let go H7971 my captives H1546 , not H3808 for price H4242 nor H3808 reward H7810 , saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 .
|
|
14. Thus said Jehovah, `The labour of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim -- men of measure, Unto thee pass over, and thine they are, After thee they go, in fetters they pass over, And unto thee they bow themselves, Unto thee they pray: Only in thee is God, And there is none else, no other God.
|
14. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , The labor H3018 of Egypt H4714 , and merchandise H5505 of Ethiopia H3568 and of the Sabeans H5436 , men H376 of stature H4060 , shall come over H5674 unto H5921 thee , and they shall be H1961 thine : they shall come H1980 after H310 thee ; in chains H2131 they shall come over H5674 , and they shall fall down H7812 unto H413 thee , they shall make supplication H6419 unto H413 thee, saying , Surely H389 God H410 is in thee ; and there is none H369 else H5750 , there is no H657 God H430 .
|
|
15. Surely Thou art a God hiding Thyself, God of Israel -- Saviour!
|
15. Verily H403 thou H859 art a God H410 that hidest thyself H5641 , O God H430 of Israel H3478 , the Savior H3467 .
|
|
16. They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed -- all of them, Together gone in confusion have those carving images.
|
16. They shall be ashamed H954 , and also H1571 confounded H3637 , all H3605 of them : they shall go H1980 to confusion H3639 together H3162 that are makers H2796 of idols H6736 .
|
|
17. Israel hath been saved in Jehovah, A salvation age-during! Ye are not ashamed nor confounded Unto the ages of eternity!
|
17. But Israel H3478 shall be saved H3467 in the LORD H3068 with an everlasting H5769 salvation H8668 : ye shall not H3808 be ashamed H954 nor H3808 confounded H3637 world without end H5704 H5769 H5703 .
|
|
18. For thus said Jehovah, Creator of heaven, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it -- not empty He prepared it, For inhabiting He formed it: `I am Jehovah, and there is none else.
|
18. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 that created H1254 the heavens H8064 ; God H430 himself H1931 that formed H3335 the earth H776 and made H6213 it; he H1931 hath established H3559 it , he created H1254 it not H3808 in vain H8414 , he formed H3335 it to be inhabited H3427 : I H589 am the LORD H3068 ; and there is none H369 else H5750 .
|
|
19. Not in secret have I spoken, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, In vain seek ye Me, I am Jehovah, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
|
19. I have not H3808 spoken H1696 in secret H5643 , in a dark H2822 place H4725 of the earth H776 : I said H559 not H3808 unto the seed H2233 of Jacob H3290 , Seek H1245 ye me in vain H8414 : I H589 the LORD H3068 speak H1696 righteousness H6664 , I declare H5046 things that are right H4339 .
|
|
20. Be gathered, and come in, Come nigh together, ye escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their graven image, And praying unto a god that saveth not.
|
20. Assemble yourselves H6908 and come H935 ; draw near H5066 together H3162 , ye that are escaped H6412 of the nations H1471 : they have no knowledge H3045 H3808 that set up H5375 H853 the wood H6086 of their graven image H6459 , and pray H6419 unto H413 a god H410 that cannot H3808 save H3467 .
|
|
21. Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time hath declared it? Is it not I -- Jehovah? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save Me.
|
21. Tell H5046 ye , and bring them near H5066 ; yea H637 , let them take counsel H3289 together H3162 : who H4310 hath declared H8085 this H2063 from ancient time H4480 H6924 ? who hath told H5046 it from that time H4480 H227 ? have not H3808 I H589 the LORD H3068 ? and there is no H369 God H430 else H5750 beside H4480 H1107 me ; a just H6662 God H410 and a Savior H3467 ; there is none H369 beside H2108 me.
|
|
22. Turn to Me, and be saved, all ends of the earth, For I am God, and there is none else.
|
22. Look H6437 unto H413 me , and be ye saved H3467 , all H3605 the ends H657 of the earth H776 : for H3588 I H589 am God H410 , and there is none H369 else H5750 .
|
|
23. By Myself I have sworn, Gone out from my mouth in righteousness hath a word, And it turneth not back, That to Me, bow doth every knee, every tongue swear.
|
23. I have sworn H7650 by myself , the word H1697 is gone out H3318 of my mouth H4480 H6310 in righteousness H6666 , and shall not H3808 return H7725 , That H3588 unto me every H3605 knee H1290 shall bow H3766 , every H3605 tongue H3956 shall swear H7650 .
|
|
24. Only in Jehovah, said hath one, Have I righteousness and strength, Unto Him he cometh in, And ashamed are all those displeased with Him.
|
24. Surely H389 , shall one say H559 , in the LORD H3068 have I righteousness H6666 and strength H5797 : even to H5704 him shall men come H935 ; and all H3605 that are incensed H2734 against him shall be ashamed H954 .
|
|
25. In Jehovah are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.`
|
25. In the LORD H3068 shall all H3605 the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 be justified H6663 , and shall glory H1984 .
