  49:1 ¶
Hearken to me, ye islands; and attend, ye Gentiles; after a long time it shall come to pass, saith the Lord: from my mother's womb he has called my name: |
|
49:1 ¶
Listen,°°
O isles,°
unto°
me; and hearken,°°
ye people,°
from far;°°
Yahweh°
hath called°°
me from the womb;°°
from the bowels°°
of my mother°
hath he made mention°°
of my name.° |
|
49:2
and he has made my mouth as a sharp sword, and he has hid me under the shadow of his hand; he has made me as a choice shaft, and he has hid me in his quiver; |
|
49:2
And he hath made°°
my mouth°
like a sharp°
sword;°
in the shadow°
of his hand°
hath he hid°°
me, and made°°
me a polished°°
shaft;°
in his quiver°
hath he hid°°
me; |
|
49:3
and said to me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, and in thee I will be glorified. |
|
49:3
And said°°
unto me, Thou°
[art] my servant,°
O Israel,°
in whom°
I will be glorified.°° |
|
49:4
Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have given my strength for vanity and for nothing: therefore is my judgement with the Lord, and my labour before my God. |
|
49:4
Then I°
said,°°
I have laboured°°
in vain,°
I have spent°°
my strength°
for nought,°
and in vain:°
[yet] surely°
my judgment°
[is] with°
Yahweh,°
and my work°
with°
my Elohim.° |
|
49:5 ¶
And now, thus saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his own servant, to gather Jacob to him and Israel. I shall be gathered and glorified before the Lord, and my God shall be my strength. |
|
49:5 ¶
And now,°
saith°°
Yahweh°
that formed°°
me from the womb°°
[to be] his servant,°
to bring°°
Jacob°
again°°°
to°
him, Though Israel°
be not gathered,°°
yet shall I be glorious°°
in the eyes°
of Yahweh,°
and my Elohim°
shall be°
my strength.° |
|
49:6
And he said to me, [It is] a great thing for thee to be called my servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel: behold, I have given thee for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth. |
|
49:6
And he said,°°
It is a light thing°°
that thou shouldest be°°
my servant°
to raise up°°°
the tribes°
of Jacob,°
and to restore°°
the preserved°°°°
of Israel:°
I will also give°°
thee for a light°
to the Gentiles,°
that thou mayest be°
my salvation°
unto°
the end°
of the earth.° |
|
49:7
Thus saith the Lord that delivered thee, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that despises his life, him that is abhorred by the nations that are the servants of princes: kings shall behold him, and princes shall arise, and shall worship him, for the Lord's sake: for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen thee. |
|
49:7
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
the Redeemer°°
of Israel,°
[and] his Holy One,°
to him whom man°
despiseth,°
to him whom the nation°
abhorreth,°°
to a servant°
of rulers,°°
Kings°
shall see°°
and arise,°°
princes°
also shall worship,°°
because of°
Yahweh°
that°
is faithful,°°
[and] the Holy One°
of Israel,°
and he shall choose°°
thee. |
|
49:8
Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I succored thee: and I have formed thee, and given thee for a covenant of the nations, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desert heritages: |
|
49:8
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
In an acceptable°
time°
have I heard°°
thee, and in a day°
of salvation°
have I helped°°
thee: and I will preserve°°
thee, and give°°
thee for a covenant°
of the people,°
to establish°°
the earth,°
to cause to inherit°°
the desolate°°
heritages;° |
|
49:9
saying to them that are in bonds, Go forth; and [bidding] them that are in darkness shew themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths [shall be] their pasture. |
|
49:9
That thou mayest say°°
to the prisoners,°°
Go forth;°°
to them that°
[are] in darkness,°
Shew°°
yourselves.°
They shall feed°°
in°
the ways,°
and their pastures°
[shall be] in all°
high places.° |
|
49:10
They shall not hunger, neither shall they thirst; neither shall the heat nor the sun smite them; but he that has mercy on them shall comfort [them], and by fountains of waters shall he lead them. |
|
49:10
They shall not°
hunger°°
nor°
thirst;°°
neither°
shall the heat°
nor sun°
smite°°
them: for°
he that hath mercy°°
on them shall lead°°
them, even by°
the springs°
of water°
shall he guide°°
them. |
|
49:11
And I will make every mountain a way, and every path a pasture to them. |
|
49:11
And I will make°°
all°
my mountains°
a way,°
and my highways°
shall be exalted.°° |
|
49:12
Behold, these shall come from far: [and] these from the north and the west, and others from the land of the Persians. |
|
49:12
Behold,°
these°
shall come°°
from far:°°
and, lo,°
these°
from the north°°
and from the west;°°
and these°
from the land°°
of Sinim.° |
|
49:13 ¶
Rejoice, ye heavens; and let the earth be glad: let the mountains break forth [with] joy; for the Lord has had mercy on his people, and has comforted the lowly ones of his people. |
|
49:13 ¶
Sing,°°
O heavens;°
and be joyful,°°
O earth;°
and break forth°°
into singing,°
O mountains:°
for°
Yahweh°
hath comforted°°
his people,°
and will have mercy°°
upon his afflicted.° |
|
49:14
But Zion{gr.Sion} said, The Lord has forsaken me, and, The Lord has forgotten me. |
|
49:14
But Zion°
said,°°
Yahweh°
hath forsaken°°
me, and Yahweh°
hath forgotten°°
me. |
|
49:15
Will a woman forget her child, so as not to have compassion upon the offspring of her womb? but if a woman should even forget these, yet I will not forget thee, saith the Lord. |
|
49:15
Can a woman°
forget°°
her sucking child,°
that she should not have compassion°°°
on the son°
of her womb?°
yea,°
they°
may forget,°°
yet will I°
not°
forget°°
thee. |
|
49:16
Behold, I have painted thy walls on my hands, and thou art continually before me. |
|
49:16
Behold,°
I have graven°°
thee upon°
the palms of [my] hands;°
thy walls°
[are] continually°
before°
me. |
|
49:17
And thou shalt soon be built by those by whom thou were destroyed, and they that made thee desolate shall go forth of thee. |
|
49:17
Thy children°
shall make haste;°°
thy destroyers°°
and they that made thee waste°°
shall go forth°°
of°
thee. |
|
49:18 ¶
Lift up thine eyes round about, and look on them all; behold, they are gathered together, and are come to thee. [As] I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt clothe thyself with them all as with an ornament, and put them on as a bride her attire. |
|
49:18 ¶
Lift up°°
thine eyes°
round about,°
and behold:°°
all°
these gather themselves together,°°
[and] come°°
to thee. [As] I°
live,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
thou shalt surely°
clothe°°
thee with them all,°
as with an ornament,°
and bind°°
them [on thee], as a bride°
[doeth]. |
|
49:19
For thy desert and marred and ruined [places] shall now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that devoured thee shall be removed far from thee. |
|
49:19
For°
thy waste°
and thy desolate places,°°
and the land°
of thy destruction,°
shall even°
now°
be too narrow°°
by reason of the inhabitants,°°°
and they that swallowed thee up°°
shall be far away.°° |
|
49:20
For thy sons whom thou hast lost shall say in thine ears, The place [is too] narrow for me: make room for me that I may dwell. |
|
49:20
The children°
which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost°
the other,°
shall say°°
again°
in thine ears,°
The place°
[is] too strait°
for me: give°°
place°°
to me that I may dwell.°° |
|
49:21
And thou shalt say in thine heart, Who has begotten me these? whereas I [was] childless, and a widow; but who has brought up these for me? and I was left alone; but whence came these to me? |
|
49:21
Then shalt thou say°°
in thine heart,°
Who°
hath begotten°°
me°
these,°
seeing I°
have lost my children,°°°
and am desolate,°
a captive,°°
and removing to and fro?°°
and who°
hath brought up°°
these?°
Behold,°
I°
was left°°
alone;°
these,°
where°
[had] they°
[been]? |
|
49:22
Thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lift up mine hand to the nations, and I will lift up my signal to the islands: and they shall bring thy sons in [their] bosom, and shall bear thy daughters on [their] shoulders. |
|
49:22
Thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh,°
Behold,°
I will lift up°°
mine hand°
to°
the Gentiles,°
and set up°°
my standard°
to°
the people:°
and they shall bring°°
thy sons°
in [their] arms,°
and thy daughters°
shall be carried°°
upon°
[their] shoulders.° |
|
49:23
And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their princesses thy nurses, they shall bow down to thee on the face of the earth, and shall lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and they that wait on me shall not be ashamed. |
|
49:23
And kings°
shall be°
thy nursing fathers,°°
and their queens°
thy nursing mothers:°°
they shall bow down°°
to thee with [their] face°
toward the earth,°
and lick up°°
the dust°
of thy feet;°
and thou shalt know°°
that°
I°
[am] Yahweh:°
for they°
shall not°
be ashamed°°
that wait°°
for me. |
|
49:24 ¶
Will any one take spoils from a giant? and if one should take [a man] captive unjustly, shall he be delivered? |
|
49:24 ¶
Shall the prey°
be taken°°
from the mighty,°°
or°
the lawful°
captive°
delivered?°° |
|
49:25
For thus saith the Lord, If one should take a giant captive, he shall take spoils, and he who takes [them] from a mighty [man] shall be delivered: for I will plead thy cause, and I will deliver thy children. |
|
49:25
But°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
Even°
the captives°
of the mighty°
shall be taken away,°°
and the prey°
of the terrible°
shall be delivered:°°
for I°
will contend°°
with°
him that contendeth°
with°
thee, and I°
will save°°
thy children.° |
|
49:26
And they that afflicted thee shall eat their own flesh; and they shall drink their own blood as new wine, and shall be drunken: and all flesh shall perceive that I am the Lord that delivers thee, and that upholds the strength of Jacob. |
|
49:26
And I will feed°°°
them that oppress°°
thee with°
their own flesh;°
and they shall be drunken°°
with their own blood,°
as with sweet wine:°
and all°
flesh°
shall know°°
that°
I°
Yahweh°
[am] thy Saviour°°
and thy Redeemer,°°
the mighty One°
of Jacob.° |
