 45:1 ¶
Thus saith the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed. |
|
 45:1 ¶
Thusº
saithºº
Yahwehº
to his anointed,º
to Cyrus,º
whoseº
right handº
I have holden,ºº
to subdueºº
nationsº
beforeº
him; and I will looseºº
the loinsº
of kings,º
to openºº
beforeº
him the two leaved gates;º
and the gatesº
shall notº
be shut;ºº |
 45:2
I will go before thee, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars. |
 45:2
Iº
will goººº
beforeº
thee, and makeºº
the crooked placesºº
straight:ººººº
I will break in piecesºº
the gatesº
of brass,º
and cut in sunderºº
the barsº
of iron:º |
 45:3
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, I will open to thee hidden, unseen [treasures], that thou mayest know that I, the Lord thy God, that call thee by name, am the God of Israel. |
 45:3
And I will giveºº
thee the treasuresº
of darkness,º
and hidden richesº
of secret places,º
thatº
thou mayest knowºº
thatº
I,º
Yahweh,º
which callºº
[thee] by thy name,º
[am] the Elohimº
of Israel.º |
 45:4
For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call thee by thy name, and accept thee: but thou hast not known me. |
 45:4
For Jacobº
my servant'sº
sake,ºº
and Israelº
mine elect,º
I have even calledºº
thee by thy name:º
I have surnamedºº
thee, though thou hast notº
knownºº
me. |
 45:5 ¶
For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened thee, and thou hast not known me. |
 45:5 ¶
Iº
[am] Yahweh,º
and [there is] noneº
else,º
[there is] noº
Elohimº
besideº
me: I girdedºº
thee, though thou hast notº
knownºº
me: |
 45:6
That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside. |
 45:6
Thatº
they may knowºº
from the risingºº
of the sun,º
and from the west,ºº
thatº
[there is] noneº
besideº
me. Iº
[am] Yahweh,º
and [there is] noneº
else.º |
 45:7
I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things. |
 45:7
I formºº
the light,º
and createºº
darkness:º
I makeºº
peace,º
and createºº
evil:º
Iº
Yahwehº
doºº
allº
theseº
[things]. |
 45:8
Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created thee. |
 45:8
Drop down,ºº
ye heavens,º
from above,ºº
and let the skiesº
pour downºº
righteousness:º
let the earthº
open,ºº
and let them bring forthºº
salvation,º
and let righteousnessº
spring upºº
together;º
Iº
Yahwehº
have createdºº
it. |
 45:9
What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the ploughman plough the earth all say? shall the clay say to the potter, What art thou doing that thou dost not work, nor hast hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it? |
 45:9
Woeº
unto him that strivethºº
withº
his Maker!ºº
[Let] the potsherdº
[strive] withº
the potsherdsº
of the earth.º
Shall the clayº
sayºº
to him that fashionethºº
it, Whatº
makestºº
thou? or thy work,º
He hath noº
hands?º |
 45:10
As though one should say to [his] father, What wilt thou beget me? and to his mother, What art thou bringing forth? |
 45:10
Woeº
unto him that saithºº
unto [his] father,º
Whatº
begettestºº
thou? or to the woman,º
Whatº
hast thou brought forth?ºº |
 45:11
For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me. |
 45:11
Thusº
saithºº
Yahweh,º
the Holy Oneº
of Israel,º
and his Maker,ºº
Askºº
me of things to comeºº
concerningº
my sons,º
and concerningº
the workº
of my handsº
commandºº
ye me. |
 45:12
I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars. |
 45:12
Iº
have madeºº
the earth,º
and createdºº
manº
uponº
it: I,º
[even] my hands,º
have stretched outºº
the heavens,º
and allº
their hostº
have I commanded.ºº |
 45:13
I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, saith the Lord of hosts. |
 45:13
Iº
have raised him upºº
in righteousness,º
and I will directºº
allº
his ways:º
heº
shall buildºº
my city,º
and he shall let goºº
my captives,º
notº
for priceº
norº
reward,º
saithºº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth.º |
 45:14
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Mizraim{gr.Egypt} has laboured [for thee]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to thee, and shall be thy servants; and they shall follow after thee bound in fetters, and shall pass over to thee, and shall do obeisance to thee, and make supplication to thee: because God is in thee; and there is no God beside thee, [O Lord]. |
 45:14
Thusº
saithºº
Yahweh,º
The labourº
of Egypt,º
and merchandiseº
of Ethiopiaº
and of the Sabeans,º
menºº
of stature,º
shall come overºº
untoº
thee, and they shall beº
thine: they shall comeººº
afterº
thee; in chainsº
they shall come over,ºº
and they shall fall downºº
untoº
thee, they shall make supplicationºº
untoº
thee, [saying], Surelyº
Elº
[is] in thee; and [there is] noneº
else,º
[there is] noº
Elohim.º |
 45:15
For thou art God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour. |
 45:15
Verilyº
thouº
[art] an Elº
that hidestºº
thyself,º
O Elohimº
of Israel,º
the Saviour.ºº |
 45:16
All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: ye isles, keep a feast to me. |
 45:16
They shall be ashamed,ºº
and alsoº
confounded,ºº
allº
of them: they shall goºº
to confusionº
togetherº
[that are] makersº
of idols.º |
 45:17
Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore. |
 45:17
[But] Israelº
shall be savedºº
in Yahwehº
with an everlastingº
salvation:º
ye shall notº
be ashamedºº
norº
confoundedºº
worldº
without end.ººº |
 45:18
Thus saith the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside. |
 45:18
Forº
thusº
saithºº
Yahwehº
that createdºº
the heavens;º
Elohimº
himselfº
that formedºº
the earthº
and madeºº
it; heº
hath establishedºº
it, he createdºº
it notº
in vain,º
he formedºº
it to be inhabited:ºº
Iº
[am] Yahweh;º
and [there is] noneº
else.º |
 45:19
I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth. |
 45:19
I have notº
spokenºº
in secret,º
in a darkº
placeº
of the earth:º
I saidºº
notº
unto the seedº
of Jacob,º
Seekºº
ye me in vain:º
Iº
Yahwehº
speakºº
righteousness,º
I declareºº
things that are right.º |
 45:20 ¶
Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, ye that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save. |
 45:20 ¶
Assembleºº
yourselvesº
and come;ºº
draw nearºº
together,º
ye [that are] escapedº
of the nations:º
they have no knowledgeººº
that set upººº
the woodº
of their graven image,º
and prayºº
untoº
an elº
[that] cannotº
save.ºº |
 45:21
If they will declare, let them draw nigh, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me. |
 45:21
Tellºº
ye, and bring [them] near;ºº
yea,º
let them take counselºº
together:º
whoº
hath declaredºº
thisº
from ancient time?ºº
[who] hath toldºº
it from that time?ºº
[have] notº
Iº
Yahweh?º
and [there is] noº
Elohimº
elseº
besideºº
me; a justº
Elº
and a Saviour;ºº
[there is] noneº
besideº
me. |
 45:22
Turn ye to me, and ye shall be saved, ye that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other. |
 45:22
Lookºº
untoº
me, and be ye saved,ºº
allº
the endsº
of the earth:º
forº
Iº
[am] El,º
and [there is] noneº
else.º |
 45:23
By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God, |
 45:23
I have swornºº
by myself, the wordº
is gone outºº
of my mouthºº
[in] righteousness,º
and shall notº
return,ºº
Thatº
unto me everyº
kneeº
shall bow,ºº
everyº
tongueº
shall swear.ºº |
 45:24
saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed. |
 45:24
Surely,º
shall [one] say,ºº
in Yahwehº
have I righteousnessº
and strength:º
[even] toº
him shall [men] come;ºº
and allº
that are incensedºº
against him shall be ashamed.ºº |
 45:25
By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified. |
 45:25
In Yahwehº
shall allº
the seedº
of Israelº
be justified,ºº
and shall glory.ºº |
