Isa 51
1 The LORD Promises Deliverance and Justice
Hearken to me! O ones pursuing the just
thing, and seeking the
LORD. Look unto the solid rock! which you quarried, and into the pit of the well which you dug.
2Look unto Abraham your father! and unto Sarah the one travailing you. For he was one
person, and I called him, and blessed him, and loved him, and multiplied him.
3And [
3you
1now
2I will comfort], O Zion. And I comforted all her desolate
places; and I will make her desolate
places as a park; and her western
places as a park of
the LORD. [
2gladness
3and
4a leap for joy
1They shall find] in her -- acknowledgment and a voice of praise.
4Hear me! Hear me O my people! and O kings [
2to
3me
1give ear]! For a law [
2from
3me
1shall go forth], and my judgment for a light of nations.
5[
2approaches
3quickly
1My righteousness], and [
2shall go forth
3as
4light
1my deliverance], and on my arm they shall hope. [
3for me
1Islands
2shall wait], and on my arm they shall hope.
6Lift up [
2unto
3the
4heaven
1your eyes], and look unto the earth below! For the heaven
is as smoke having been solidified. And the earth as a cloak shall be old, and the ones inhabiting [
2as
3these
1shall die]. But the deliverance of mine [
2into
3the
4eon
1shall be], and the righteousness of mine in no way shall fail.
7Hear me, O ones knowing equity! a people of whom my law is in their heart. Do not fear
the scorning of men, and [
2their disparagement
3not
1let] vanquish
you!
8For as a garment will be eaten upon time, and as wool shall be eaten by a moth; but the righteousness of mine [
2into
3the
4eon
1will be]; and the deliverance of mine for generations of generations.
9Awaken! Awaken! O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of your arm! Awaken as in
the beginning of days, as a generation of an eon! [
2not
3you
1Are] her being quarried in width, being torn up by
the dragon?
10[
3not
2you
1Are] her making desolate
the sea, [
3water
2of
the deep
1the abundance], the one putting the depths of the sea for a way of a ford to
the ones being rescued,
11and
the ones being ransomed? For by
the LORD they shall be returned, and shall come unto Zion with gladness, and [
2leap for joy
1an everlasting]. [
2upon
4head
1For
3their] praise and gladness shall overtake them. [
6ran away
1Grief
2and
3distress
4and
5moaning].
12 The LORD Promises Comfort
I am, I am he, the one comforting you. Know who is being! that you should be fearful from [
2man
1mortal], and from a son of man -- the ones who as grass were dried up.
13And you forgot God, the one making you, the one making the heaven, and laying the foundation for the earth. And fear continually all the days in front of the rage of the one afflicting you! in which manner he planned to carry you away. And now where
is the rage of the one afflicting you?
14For in your being delivered, he shall not stop nor pass time. And he shall not kill for hurt, and in no way shall he lack his bread.
15For I
am your God, the one disturbing the sea, and resounding its waves.
The LORD of Hosts
is my name.
16I will put my words into your mouth. And under the shadow of my hand I will shelter you, in which I established the heaven, and founded the earth. And he shall say to Zion, [
2my people
1You are].
17Awaken! Awaken! Rise up, O Jerusalem! the one drinking from
the hand of
the LORD the cup of his rage. [
2the
3cup
1For] of the blow, the drinking cup of rage you drank and emptied out.
18And there was no
one comforting you from all your children whom you gave birth. And there was none taking hold of your hand, nor of all your sons whom you raised.
19Therefore these
things are adverse to you. Who will grieve with you? A calamitous downfall, and defeat, hunger, and sword; who will comfort you?
20 Your sons, the ones being perplexed, the ones sleeping upon
the top of all
the streets, as [
2beet
1a half-boiled]; the ones full of
the rage of
the LORD, fainting from
the LORD God.
21On account of this, hear! O one being humbled, and O one being intoxicated not from wine.
22Thus says
the LORD God, the one judging his people, Behold, I took from out of your hand the cup of the blow, the drinking cup of my rage; and you shall not proceed to drink it any longer.
23And I give it into the hand of the ones wronging you, and of the ones humbling you;
the ones who said
to your soul, Bow! that we should go by. And you put [
3equal
4to the
5ground
1the
things 2in your midst] outside to the ones coming near.
