Esias 42

1 Jacob is my servant, I will help him: Israel is my chosen, my soul has accepted him; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

Here! servant my [whom] I support him chosen one my [whom] it is pleased with self my I have put spirit my on him justice to the nations he will bring forth.

2 He shall not cry, nor lift up [his voice], nor shall his voice be heard without.

Not he will cry out and not he will lift up and not he will make heard in the street voice his.

3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench; but he shall bring forth judgment to truth.

A reed crushed not he will break and a wick dim not he will extinguish it to faithfulness he will bring forth justice.

4 He shall shine out, and shall not be discouraged, until he have set judgment on the earth: and in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

Not he will grow dim and not he will be crushed until he will establish on the earth justice and for instruction his islands they will wait.

5 Thus says the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:

Thus he says God - Yahweh [who] created the heavens and [who] stretched out them [who] spread out the earth and produce its [who] gives breath to the people on it and spirit to [those who] walk on it.

6 I the Lord God have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will strengthen you: and I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles:

I Yahweh I have called you in righteousness and I may take hold on hand your and I may watch over you and I may make you a covenant of [the] people a light of [the] nations.

7 to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.

To open eyes blind to bring out from prison prisoner[s] from a house of imprisonment [those who] dwell of darkness.

8 I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.

I [am] Yahweh that [is] name my and glory my to another not I will give and praise my to images.

9 Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and [so will] the new things which I tell you: yes, before I tell [them] they are made known to you.

The former [things] there! they have come and new [things] I [am] about to tell before they will spring up I will cause to hear [them] you.

10 Sing a new hymn to the Lord: you [who are] his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.

Sing to Yahweh a song new praise his from [the] end of the earth O [those who] go down the sea and what fills it O islands and inhabitants their.

11 Rejoice, you wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.

Let them lift up [the] wilderness and cities its [the] villages [where] it dwells Kedar let them shout for joy [the] inhabitants of Sela from [the] top of [the] mountains let them cry aloud.

12 They shall give glory to God, [and] shall proclaim his praises in the islands.

Let them give to Yahweh glory and praise his in the islands let them declare.

13 The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy, and shall shout mightily against his enemies.

Yahweh like warrior he will go forth like a man of war he will stir up zeal he will raise a war-cry also he will raise a battle-shout over enemies his he will prevail.

14 I have been silent: shall I also always be silent and forbear: I have endured like a travailing [woman]: I will [now] amaze and wither at once.

I have been silent from a long time I have kept silent I have restrained myself like [woman] giving birth I groan I puff and I may pant together.

15 I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.

I will lay waste mountains and hills and all vegetation their I will dry up and I will make rivers islands and pools I will dry up.

16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.

And I will lead blind [people] by a way [which] not they have known by paths [which] not they have known I will guide them I will make [the] dark place before them light and rough places level ground these [are] the things [which] I will do them and not I will abandon them.

17 But they are turned back: be you utterly ashamed that trust in graven [images], who say to the molten [images], You are our gods.

They will be turned back backwards they will be ashamed shame those [who] trust in idol those [who] say to a molten image you [are] god our.

18 Hear, you deaf, and look up, you blind, to see.

O deaf [people] listen and O blind [people] look to see.

19 And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yes, the servants of God have been made blind.

Who? [is] blind that except servant my and deaf like messenger my [whom] I will send who? [is] blind like [one] in a covenant and blind like [the] servant of Yahweh.

20 You have often seen, and have not taken heed; [your] ears have been opened, and you have not heard.

(You have seen *Q(K)*) many [things] and not you keep [them] they are open ears and not he listens.

21 The Lord God has taken counsel that he might be justified, and might magnify [his] praise.

Yahweh he was pleased for [the] sake of righteousness his he will make great [the] law so he may make [it] glorious.

22 And I saw, and the people were spoiled and plundered: for [there is] a snare in the secret chambers everywhere, and in the houses also, where they have hidden them: they became a spoil, and there was no one that delivered the prey, and there was none who said, Restore.

And it [is] a people despoiled and plundered they are trapped in holes all of them and in houses of imprisonment they are hidden they have become spoil and there not [is] a deliverer plunder and there not [is one who] says bring [it] back.

23 Who [is there] among you that will give ear to these things? listen you to the things which are coming to pass.

Who? among you will he give ear to this will he pay attention? and he may listen? to afterwards.

24 For what did he give to Jacob up to spoil, and Israel to them that plundered him? Did not God [do it] against whom they sinned? [and] they would not walk in his ways, nor listen to his law.

Who? has he given (to plunder *Q(K)*) Jacob and Israel to despoilers ¿ not [was it] Yahweh whom we have sinned to him and not they were willing in ways his to walk and not they listened to law his.

25 So he brought upon them the fury of his wrath; and the war, and those that burnt round about them, prevailed against them; yet no one of them knew [it], neither did they lay [it] to heart.

And he poured out on it rage anger his and [the] fierceness of battle and it set ablaze it from round about and not it knew and it burned it and not it put [it] on heart.
