ylt - Isaiah:48-50

ylt@Isaiah:48:1 @Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the name of Jehovah, And of the God of Israel make mention, Not in truth nor in righteousness.

ylt@Isaiah:48:2 @For from the Holy City they have been called, And on the God of Israel been supported, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.

ylt@Isaiah:48:3 @The former things from that time I declared, And from my mouth they have gone forth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it cometh.

ylt@Isaiah:48:4 @From my knowing that thou art obstinate, And a sinew of iron thy neck, And thy forehead brass,

ylt@Isaiah:48:5 @And I declare to thee from that time, Before it cometh I have caused thee to hear, Lest thou say, 'Mine idol hath done them, And my graven image, And my molten image did command them.

ylt@Isaiah:48:6 @Thou hast heard, see the whole of it, And ye, do ye not declare? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that ye knew not.

ylt@Isaiah:48:7 @Now they have been produced and not from that time, Yea, before the day, and thou hast not heard them, Lest thou say, 'Lo, I have known them.'

ylt@Isaiah:48:8 @Yea, thou hast not heard, Yea, thou hast not known, Yea, from that time not opened hath thine ear, For I have known thou dealest treacherously, And 'Transgressor from the belly,' One is crying to thee.

ylt@Isaiah:48:9 @For My name's sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off.

ylt@Isaiah:48:10 @Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee in a furnace of affliction.

ylt@Isaiah:48:11 @For My sake, for Mine own sake, I do [it], For how is it polluted? And Mine honour to another I give not.

ylt@Isaiah:48:12 @Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;

ylt@Isaiah:48:13 @Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand together.

ylt@Isaiah:48:14 @Be gathered all of you, and hear, Who among them did declare these things? Jehovah hath loved him, He doth His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.

ylt@Isaiah:48:15 @I -- I have spoken, yea, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he hath made prosperous his way.

ylt@Isaiah:48:16 @Come ye near unto me, hear this, Not from the beginning in secret spake I, From the time of its being, there [am] I, And now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and His Spirit.

ylt@Isaiah:48:17 @Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, 'I [am] Jehovah thy God, teaching thee to profit, Causing thee to tread in the way thou goest.

ylt@Isaiah:48:18 @O that thou hadst attended to My commands, Then as a river is thy peace, And thy righteousness as billows of the sea,

ylt@Isaiah:48:19 @And as sand is thy seed, And the offspring of thy bowels as its gravel, Not cut off nor destroyed his name before Me.

ylt@Isaiah:48:20 @Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, With a voice of singing declare, Cause ye this to be heard, Bring it forth unto the end of the earth, Say, Redeemed hath Jehovah His servant Jacob.

ylt@Isaiah:48:21 @And they have not thirsted in waste places, He hath caused them to go on, Waters from a rock he hath caused to flow to them, Yea, he cleaveth a rock, and flow do waters.

ylt@Isaiah:48:22 @There is no peace, said Jehovah, to the wicked!

ylt@Isaiah:49:1 @Hearken, O isles, unto me, And attend, O peoples, from afar, Jehovah from the womb hath called me, From the bowels of my mother He hath made mention of my name.

ylt@Isaiah:49:2 @And he maketh my mouth as a sharp sword, In the shadow of His hand He hath hid me, And He maketh me for a clear arrow, In His quiver He hath hid me.

ylt@Isaiah:49:3 @And He saith to me, 'My servant Thou art, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.'

ylt@Isaiah:49:4 @And I said, 'For a vain thing I laboured, For emptiness and vanity my power I consumed, But my judgment [is] with Jehovah, And my wage with my God.

ylt@Isaiah:49:5 @And now, said Jehovah, who is forming me from the belly for a servant to Him, To bring back Jacob unto Him, (Though Israel is not gathered, Yet I am honoured in the eyes of Jehovah, And my God hath been my strength.)

ylt@Isaiah:49:6 @And He saith, 'It hath been a light thing That thou art to Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given thee for a light of nations, To be My salvation unto the end of the earth.'

ylt@Isaiah:49:7 @Thus said Jehovah, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the abominated of a nation, To the servant of rulers: 'Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooseth thee.'

ylt@Isaiah:49:8 @Thus said Jehovah: 'In a time of good pleasure I answered thee, And in a day of salvation I helped thee, And I keep thee, and give thee, For a covenant of the people, To establish the earth, To cause to inherit desolate inheritances.

ylt@Isaiah:49:9 @To say to the bound, Go out, To those in darkness, Be uncovered. On the ways they feed, And in all high places is their pasture.

ylt@Isaiah:49:10 @They do not hunger, nor thirst, Nor smite them doth mirage and sun, For He who is pitying them doth lead them, And by fountains of waters doth tend them.

ylt@Isaiah:49:11 @And I have made all My mountains for a way, And My highways are lifted up.

ylt@Isaiah:49:12 @Lo, these from afar come in, And lo, these from the north, and from the sea, And these from the land of Sinim.

ylt@Isaiah:49:13 @Sing, O heavens, and joy, O earth, And break forth, O mountains, with singing, For comforted hath Jehovah His people, And His afflicted ones He doth pity.

ylt@Isaiah:49:14 @And Zion saith, 'Jehovah hath forsaken me, And my Lord hath forgotten me.'

ylt@Isaiah:49:15 @Forget doth a woman her suckling, The loved one -- the son of her womb? Yea, these forget -- but I -- I forget not thee.

ylt@Isaiah:49:16 @Lo, on the palms of the hand I have graven thee, Thy walls [are] before Me continually.

ylt@Isaiah:49:17 @Hastened have those building thee, Those destroying thee, and laying thee waste, go out from thee.

ylt@Isaiah:49:18 @Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have been gathered, They have come to thee. I live, an affirmation of Jehovah! Surely all of them as an ornament thou puttest on, And thou bindest them on like a bride.

ylt@Isaiah:49:19 @Because thy wastes, and thy desolate places, And the land of thy ruins, Surely now are straitened because of inhabitants, And far off have been those consuming thee.

ylt@Isaiah:49:20 @Again do the sons of thy bereavement say in thine ears: 'The place is too strait for me, Come nigh to me -- and I dwell.'

ylt@Isaiah:49:21 @And thou hast said in thy heart: 'Who hath begotten for me -- these? And I bereaved and gloomy, A captive, and turned aside, And these -- who hath nourished? Lo, I -- I was left by myself, these -- whence [are] they?

ylt@Isaiah:49:22 @Thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'Lo, I lift up unto nations My hand, And unto peoples I raise up Mine ensign, And they have brought thy sons in the bosom, And thy daughters on the shoulder are carried.

ylt@Isaiah:49:23 @And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth -- they bow down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.

ylt@Isaiah:49:24 @Is prey taken from the mighty? And the captive of the righteous delivered?

ylt@Isaiah:49:25 @For thus said Jehovah: Even the captive of the mighty is taken, And the prey of the terrible is delivered, And with thy striver I strive, and thy sons I save.

ylt@Isaiah:49:26 @And I have caused thine oppressors to eat their own flesh, And as new wine they drink their own blood, And known have all flesh that I, Jehovah, Thy saviour, and thy redeemer, [Am] the Mighty One of Jacob!'

ylt@Isaiah:50:1 @Thus said Jehovah: 'Where [is] this -- the bill of your mother's divorce, Whom I sent away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Lo, for your iniquities ye have been sold, And for your transgressions Hath your mother been sent away.

ylt@Isaiah:50:2 @Wherefore have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Hath My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not in me power to deliver? Lo, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stinketh, for there is no water, And dieth with thirst.

ylt@Isaiah:50:3 @I clothe the heavens [with] blackness, And sackcloth I make their covering.

ylt@Isaiah:50:4 @The Lord Jehovah hath given to me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary [by] a word, He waketh morning by morning, He waketh for me an ear to hear as taught ones.

ylt@Isaiah:50:5 @The Lord Jehovah opened for me the ear, And I rebelled not -- backward I moved not.

ylt@Isaiah:50:6 @My back I have given to those smiting, And my cheeks to those plucking out, My face I hid not from shame and spitting.

ylt@Isaiah:50:7 @And the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set my face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed.

ylt@Isaiah:50:8 @Near [is] He who is justifying me, Who doth contend with me? We stand together, who [is] mine opponent? Let him come nigh unto me.

ylt@Isaiah:50:9 @Lo, the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Who [is] he that declareth me wicked? Lo, all of them as a garment wear out, A moth doth eat them.

ylt@Isaiah:50:10 @Who [is] among you, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, And lean upon his God.

ylt@Isaiah:50:11 @Lo, all ye kindling a fire, girding on sparks, Walk ye in the light of your fire, And in the sparks ye have caused to burn, From my hand hath this been to you, In grief ye lie down!

ylt@Isaiah:51:1 @Hearken unto Me, ye pursuing righteousness, Seeking Jehovah, Look attentively unto the rock -- ye have been hewn, And unto the hole of the pit -- ye have been digged.
