Isaiah 45
1 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.
Thus saith the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue nations before his face, and to turn the backs of kings, and to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut.
2 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.
I will go before thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst the bars of iron.
3 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.
And I will give thee hidden treasures, and the concealed riches of secret places: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel.
4 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.
For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have made a likeness of thee, and thou hast not known me.
5 I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet besides me there not [is] a god I will gird you and not you know me.
I am the Lord, and there is none else: there is no God, besides me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me:
6 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.
That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else:
7 [who] forms Light and [who] creates darkness [who] brings about well-being and [who] creates calamity I [am] Yahweh [who] does all these [things].
I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things.
8 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.
Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: I the Lord have created him.
9 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.
Woe to him that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and thy work is without hands?
10 Woe to! [one who] says to a father what? are you fathering and to a woman what? are you in labor with!
Woe to him that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?
11 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.
Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.
12 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.
I made the earth: and I created man upon it: my hand stretched forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.
13 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.
I have raised him up to justice, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and let go my captives, not for ransom, nor for presents, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
14 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.
Thus saith the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabaim, men of stature shall come over to thee, and shall be thins: they shall walk after thee, they shall go bound with manacles: and they shall worship thee, and shall make supplication to thee: only in thee is God, and there is no God besides thee.
15 Truly you [are] a God [who] hides himself O God of Israel deliverer.
Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel the saviour.
16 They will be ashamed and also they will be put to shame all of them alike they will walk in ignominy craftsmen of images.
They are all confounded and ashamed: the forgers of errors are gone together into confusion.
17 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.
Israel is saved in the Lord with as eternal salvation: you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever.
18 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.
For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: he did not create it in vain: he formed it to be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 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.
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I have not said to the seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things.
20 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.
Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, ye that are saved of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, and pray to a god that cannot save.
21 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.
Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.
22 Turn to me and be saved O all [the] ends of [the] earth for I [am] God and there not [is] yet.
Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.
23 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.
I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return: For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.
24 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.
Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.
25 By Yahweh they will be justified and they may boast all [the] offspring of Israel.
In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.
