Isaiah - Chapter: 42

>
42:1Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
42:2He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
42:3A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
42:4He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
42:5Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
42:6I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
42:7To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
42:8I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
42:9Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
42:10Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
42:11Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
42:12Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
42:13The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
42:14I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
42:15I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
42:16And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
42:17They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
42:18Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
42:19Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?
42:20Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
42:21The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
42:22But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
42:23Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
42:24Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
42:25Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

 

42:1הן עבדי אתמך בו בחירי רצתה נפשׁי נתתי רוחי עליו משׁפט לגוים יוציא׃

42:21יהוה חפץ למען צדקו יגדיל תורה ויאדיר׃
42:22והוא עם בזוז ושׁסוי הפח בחורים כלם ובבתי כלאים החבאו היו לבז ואין מציל משׁסה ואין אמר השׁב׃
42:23מי בכם יאזין זאת יקשׁב וישׁמע לאחור׃
42:24מי נתן למשׁוסה יעקב וישׂראל לבזזים הלוא יהוה זו חטאנו לו ולא אבו בדרכיו הלוך ולא שׁמעו בתורתו׃
42:25וישׁפך עליו חמה אפו ועזוז מלחמה ותלהטהו מסביב ולא ידע ותבער בו ולא ישׂים על לב׃

 

42:1Lo, 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.
42:2He doth not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause his voice to be heard, in the street.
42:3A bruised reed he breaketh not, And dim flax he quencheth not, To truth he bringeth forth judgment.
42:4He doth not become weak nor bruised, Till he setteth judgment in the earth, And for his law isles wait with hope.
42:5Thus 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.
42:6I, 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.
42:7To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth from prison the bound one, From the house of restraint those sitting in darkness.
42:8I `am' Jehovah, this `is' My name, And Mine honour to another I give not, Nor My praise to graven images.
42:9The former things, lo, have come, And new things I am declaring, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
42:10Sing 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.
42:11The 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.
42:12They ascribe to Jehovah honour, And His praise in the isles they declare.
42:13Jehovah 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.
42:14I 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.
42:15I make waste mountains and hills, And all their herbs I dry up, And I have made rivers become isles, And ponds I dry up.
42:16And 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.
42:17Removed backward -- utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a graven image, Those saying to a molten image, `Ye `are' our gods.'
42:18Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look to see.
42:19Who `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?
42:20Seeing many things, and thou observest not, Opening ears, and he heareth not.
42:21Jehovah hath delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifieth law, and maketh honourable.
42:22And 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.'
42:23Who among you giveth ear `to' this? Attendeth, and heareth afterwards.
42:24Who 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.
42:25And 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!
