1. Lo, My servant, I take hold on him, My chosen one -- My soul hath accepted, I have put My Spirit upon him, Judgment to nations he bringeth forth.
|
1. Behold H2005 my servant H5650 , whom I uphold H8551 ; mine elect H972 , in whom my soul H5315 delighteth H7521 ; I have put H5414 my spirit H7307 upon H5921 him : he shall bring forth H3318 judgment H4941 to the Gentiles H1471 .
|
|
2. He doth not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause his voice to be heard, in the street.
|
2. He shall not H3808 cry H6817 , nor H3808 lift up H5375 , nor H3808 cause his voice H6963 to be heard H8085 in the street H2351 .
|
|
3. A bruised reed he breaketh not, And dim flax he quencheth not, To truth he bringeth forth judgment.
|
3. A bruised H7533 reed H7070 shall he not H3808 break H7665 , and the smoking H3544 flax H6594 shall he not H3808 quench H3518 : he shall bring forth H3318 judgment H4941 unto truth H571 .
|
|
4. He doth not become weak nor bruised, Till he setteth judgment in the earth, And for his law isles wait with hope.
|
4. He shall not H3808 fail H3543 nor H3808 be discouraged H7533 , till H5704 he have set H7760 judgment H4941 in the earth H776 : and the isles H339 shall wait H3176 for his law H8451 .
|
|
5. Thus said God, Jehovah, preparing The heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.
|
5. Thus H3541 saith H559 God H410 the LORD H3068 , he that created H1254 the heavens H8064 , and stretched them out H5186 ; he that spread forth H7554 the earth H776 , and that which cometh out H6631 of it ; he that giveth H5414 breath H5397 unto the people H5971 upon H5921 it , and spirit H7307 to them that walk H1980 therein:
|
|
6. I, Jehovah, did call thee in righteousness, And I lay hold on thy hand, and keep thee, And I give thee for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.
|
6. I H589 the LORD H3068 have called H7121 thee in righteousness H6664 , and will hold H2388 thine hand H3027 , and will keep H5341 thee , and give H5414 thee for a covenant H1285 of the people H5971 , for a light H216 of the Gentiles H1471 ;
|
|
7. To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth from prison the bound one, From the house of restraint those sitting in darkness.
|
7. To open H6491 the blind H5787 eyes H5869 , to bring out H3318 the prisoners H616 from the prison H4480 H4525 , and them that sit H3427 in darkness H2822 out of the prison H3608 house H4480 H1004 .
|
|
8. I am Jehovah, this is My name, And Mine honour to another I give not, Nor My praise to graven images.
|
8. I H589 am the LORD H3068 : that H1931 is my name H8034 : and my glory H3519 will I not H3808 give H5414 to another H312 , neither my praise H8416 to graven images H6456 .
|
|
9. The former things, lo, have come, And new things I am declaring, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
|
9. Behold H2009 , the former things H7223 are come to pass H935 , and new things H2319 do I H589 declare H5046 : before H2962 they spring forth H6779 I tell H8085 you of them.
|
|
10. Sing to Jehovah a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, Ye who are going down to the sea, and its fulness, Isles, and their inhabitants.
|
10. Sing H7891 unto the LORD H3068 a new H2319 song H7892 , and his praise H8416 from the end H4480 H7097 of the earth H776 , ye that go down H3381 to the sea H3220 , and all that is therein H4393 ; the isles H339 , and the inhabitants H3427 thereof.
|
|
11. The wilderness and its cities do lift up the voice, The villages Kedar doth inhabit, Sing do the inhabitants of Sela, From the top of mountains they cry.
|
11. Let the wilderness H4057 and the cities H5892 thereof lift up H5375 their voice , the villages H2691 that Kedar H6938 doth inhabit H3427 : let the inhabitants H3427 of the rock H5553 sing H7442 , let them shout H6681 from the top H4480 H7218 of the mountains H2022 .
|
|
12. They ascribe to Jehovah honour, And His praise in the isles they declare.
|
12. Let them give H7760 glory H3519 unto the LORD H3068 , and declare H5046 his praise H8416 in the islands H339 .
|
|
13. Jehovah as a mighty one goeth forth. As a man of war He stirreth up zeal, He crieth, yea, He shrieketh, Against His enemies He showeth Himself mighty.
|
13. The LORD H3068 shall go forth H3318 as a mighty man H1368 , he shall stir up H5782 jealousy H7068 like a man H376 of war H4421 : he shall cry H7321 , yea H637 , roar H6873 ; he shall prevail H1396 against H5921 his enemies H341 .
|
|
14. I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain myself, As a travailing woman I cry out, I desolate and swallow up together.
|
14. I have long time H4480 H5769 holden my peace H2814 ; I have been still H2790 , and refrained myself H662 : now will I cry H6463 like a travailing woman H3205 ; I will destroy H5395 and devour H7602 at once H3162 .
|
|
15. I make waste mountains and hills, And all their herbs I dry up, And I have made rivers become isles, And ponds I dry up.
|
15. I will make waste H2717 mountains H2022 and hills H1389 , and dry up H3001 all H3605 their herbs H6212 ; and I will make H7760 the rivers H5104 islands H339 , and I will dry up H3001 the pools H98 .
|
|
16. And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These are the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.
|
16. And I will bring H1980 the blind H5787 by a way H1870 that they knew H3045 not H3808 ; I will lead them H1869 in paths H5410 that they have not H3808 known H3045 : I will make H7760 darkness H4285 light H216 before H6440 them , and crooked things H4625 straight H4334 . These H428 things H1697 will I do H6213 unto them , and not H3808 forsake H5800 them.
|
|
17. Removed backward -- utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a graven image, Those saying to a molten image, `Ye are our gods.`
|
17. They shall be turned H5472 back H268 , they shall be greatly ashamed H954 H1322 , that trust H982 in graven images H6459 , that say H559 to the molten images H4541 , Ye H859 are our gods H430 .
|
|
18. Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look to see.
|
18. Hear H8085 , ye deaf H2795 ; and look H5027 , ye blind H5787 , that ye may see H7200 .
|
|
19. Who is blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who is blind as he who is at peace, Yea, blind, as the servant of Jehovah?
|
19. Who H4310 is blind H5787 , but H3588 H518 my servant H5650 ? or deaf H2795 , as my messenger H4397 that I sent H7971 ? who H4310 is blind H5787 as he that is perfect H7999 , and blind H5787 as the LORD H3068 's servant H5650 ?
|
|
20. Seeing many things, and thou observest not, Opening ears, and he heareth not.
|
20. Seeing H7200 many things H7227 , but thou observest H8104 not H3808 ; opening H6491 the ears H241 , but he heareth H8085 not H3808 .
|
|
21. Jehovah hath delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifieth law, and maketh honourable.
|
21. The LORD H3068 is well pleased H2654 for his righteousness' sake H4616 H6664 ; he will magnify H1431 the law H8451 , and make it honorable H142 .
|
|
22. And this is a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes -- all of them, And in houses of restraint they were hidden, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, `Restore.`
|
22. But this H1931 is a people H5971 robbed H962 and spoiled H8154 ; they are all H3605 of them snared H6351 in holes H2352 , and they are hid H2244 in prison H3608 houses H1004 : they are H1961 for a prey H957 , and none H369 delivereth H5337 ; for a spoil H4933 , and none H369 saith H559 , Restore H7725 .
|
|
23. Who among you giveth ear to this? Attendeth, and heareth afterwards.
|
23. Who H4310 among you will give ear H238 to this H2063 ? who will hearken H7181 and hear H8085 for the time to come H268 ?
|
|
24. Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not Jehovah -- He against whom we sinned? Yea, they have not been willing in His ways to walk, Nor have they hearkened to His law.
|
24. Who H4310 gave H5414 Jacob H3290 for a spoil H4933 , and Israel H3478 to the robbers H962 ? did not H3808 the LORD H3068 , he against whom H2098 we have sinned H2398 ? for they would H14 not H3808 walk H1980 in his ways H1870 , neither H3808 were they obedient H8085 unto his law H8451 .
|
|
25. And He poureth on him fury, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it setteth him on fire round about, And he hath not known, And it burneth against him, and he layeth it not to heart!
|
25. Therefore he hath poured H8210 upon H5921 him the fury H2534 of his anger H639 , and the strength H5807 of battle H4421 : and it hath set him on fire H3857 round about H4480 H5439 , yet he knew H3045 not H3808 ; and it burned H1197 him , yet he laid H7760 it not H3808 to H5921 heart H3820 .
