Esias 45
1 Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
Thus he says Yahweh to anointed his to Cyrus whom I have taken hold on right [hand] his to subdue before him nations and [the] loins of kings I will loosen to open before him doors and gates not they will be shut.
2 I will go before you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
I before you I will go and [the] mountainous land (I will make smooth *Q(K)*) doors of bronze I will break and bars of iron I will cut through.
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness, I will open to you hidden, unseen [treasures], that you may know that I, the Lord your God, that call you by name, am the God of Israel.
And I will give to you treasures of darkness and hidden treasures of secret places so that you may know that I [am] Yahweh who calls by name your [the] God of Israel.
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call you by your name, and accept you: but you have not known me.
For [the] sake of servant my Jacob and Israel chosen one my and I summoned you by name your I will give a title you and not you know me.
5 For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have not known me.
I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet besides me there not [is] a god I will gird you and not you know me.
6 That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
So that they may know from [the] rising of [the] sun (and from setting place its *LAH(b)*) that nothing [is] apart from me I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet.
7 I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
[who] forms Light and [who] creates darkness [who] brings about well-being and [who] creates calamity I [am] Yahweh [who] does all these [things].
8 Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created you.
Drip down O heaven above and clouds let them flow righteousness let it open up [the] earth so they may bear fruit salvation and righteousness let it cause to sprout together I Yahweh I have created it.
9 What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the ploughman plough the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
Woe to! [one who] contends with [the one who] formed him a potsherd with potsherds of [the] ground ¿ does it say clay to [the one who] forms it what? are you making and work your not hands [belong] to him.
10 As though one should say to [his] father, What will you beget me? and to his mother, What are you bringing forth?
Woe to! [one who] says to a father what? are you fathering and to a woman what? are you in labor with!
11 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
Thus he says Yahweh [the] holy [one] of Israel and [the] [one who] formed it the coming [things] ask me on children my and on [the] work of hands my you command me.
12 I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
I I made [the] earth and humankind on it I created I hands my they stretched out [the] heavens and all host their I commanded.
13 I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord of hosts.
I I have stirred up him in righteousness and all ways his I will make smooth he he will build city my and exile[s] my he will let go not for hire and not for a bribe he says Yahweh of hosts.
14 Thus says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for you]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall do obeisance to you, and make supplication to you: because God is in you; and there is no God beside you, [O Lord].
Thus - he says Yahweh [the] produce of Egypt and [the] traffic of Cush and [the] Sabeans people of stature to you they will pass over and to you they will belong behind you they will walk in fetters they will pass over and to you they will bow down to you they will pray surely [is] among you God and there not [is] yet there not [are] gods.
15 For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
Truly you [are] a God [who] hides himself O God of Israel deliverer.
16 All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: you isles, keep a feast to me.
They will be ashamed and also they will be put to shame all of them alike they will walk in ignominy craftsmen of images.
17 Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
Israel it has been saved by Yahweh a salvation of everlastingness not you will be ashamed and not you will be put to shame until everlastingness of perpetuity.
18 Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
For thus he says Yahweh [who] created the heavens he [is] God [who] formed the earth and [who] made it he he established it not a wasteland he created it to dwell in he formed it I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet.
19 I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
Not in secrecy I spoke in a place of a land of darkness not I said to [the] offspring of Jacob emptiness seek me I Yahweh [am] speaking righteousness [I am] declaring uprightness.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, you that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
Gather together and come draw near together O fugitives of the nations not they know those [who] carry [the] wood of idol their and [those who] pray to a god [which] not it will save.
21 If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
Declare and bring near also let them take counsel together who? did he proclaim this from antiquity from then did he declare? it ¿ not [was it] I Yahweh and there not again [is] a god except me [is] a God righteous and a deliverer there not besides me.
22 Turn you to me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
Turn to me and be saved O all [the] ends of [the] earth for I [am] God and there not [is] yet.
23 By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
By myself I swear it goes forth from mouth my righteousness a word and not it will return that to me it will bow down every knee it will swear every tongue.
24 saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
Only [are] in Yahweh of me anyone will say righteousness and strength to him everyone will go and they may be ashamed all those [who] are angry with him.
25 By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
By Yahweh they will be justified and they may boast all [the] offspring of Israel.
