Isaiah 51

1 Listen to me O [those who] pursue righteousness [those who] seek Yahweh look to [the] rock [which] you were dug and to [the] excavation of [the] pit [which] you were dug out.

Hearken to me, ye that pursue righteousness. Ye that seek Jehovah! Look to the rock whence ye were hewn, To the pit-quarry whence ye were digged!

2 Look to Abraham ancestor your and to Sarah [who] she gave birth to you if one [person] I called him and I blessed him and I multiplied him.

Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah that bore you! For I called him when only one, And blessed him, and multiplied him.

3 For he will comfort Yahweh Zion he will comfort all waste places its and he made wilderness its like Eden and desert plain its like [the] garden of Yahweh joy and gladness it will be found in it thanksgiving and [the] sound of music.

Thus will Jehovah have pity upon Zion; He will have pity upon all her desolations. He will make her wilderness like Eden, Her desert like the garden of Jehovah. Joy and gladness shall be found therein; Thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

4 Pay attention to me O people my and O nation my to me give ear for law from with me it will go out and justice my a light of peoples I will make suddenly.

Hearken to me, O my people! And give ear to me, O my nation! For a law shall proceed from me, And I will establish my statutes for the light of the nations.

5 [is] near Righteousness my it has gone out salvation my and arms my peoples they will judge to me islands they will wait and to arm my they will hope!

My help is near; my salvation goeth forth; My arm shall judge the nations; Distant lands shall wait for me, And in my arm shall they trust.

6 Lift up to the heavens eyes your and look to the earth beneath for [the] heavens like smoke they will be dispersed and the earth like garment it will wear out and inhabitants its like gnat[s] they will die! and salvation my for ever it will be and righteousness my not it will be broken.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, And look down upon the earth beneath! For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, And the earth shall decay like a garment, And its inhabitants shall perish like flies. But my salvation shall endure forever, And my goodness shall not decay.

7 Listen to me O [those who] know righteousness a people [which] law my [is] in heart their may not you fear [the] reproach of humankind and from reviling words their may not you be dismayed.

Hearken to me, ye that know righteousness, The people in whose heart is my law! Fear ye not the reproach of men, Nor be disheartened by their revilings!

8 For like garment it will eat them moth and like wool it will eat them clothes-moth and righteousness my for ever it will be and salvation my to a generation of generations.

For the moth shall consume them like a garment, And the worm shall eat them like wool. But my goodness shall endure forever, And my salvation from generation to generation.

9 Awake awake put on strength O arm of Yahweh awake like days of antiquity generations of antiquiti ¿ not [are] you she who cut in pieces Rahab [who] pierced [the] sea monster.

Awake! awake! clothe thyself with strength, O arm of Jehovah! Awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old!

10 ¿ Not [are] you she who dried up [the] sea [the] water of [the] deep great who made [the] depths of [the] sea a way to pass over redeemed [people].

Art thou not the same that smote Rahab, And wounded the dragon? Art thou not the same that dried up the sea, The waters of the great deep, —That made the depths of the sea a path for the redeemed to pass through?

11 And [the] [people] ransomed of Yahweh they will return! and they will come Zion with a shout of joy and gladness of perpetuity [will be] on head their joy and gladness they will overtake [them]! they will flee sorrow and sighing.

Thus shall the ransomed of Jehovah return; They shall come to Zion with singing; Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; They shall obtain gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

12 I I [am] he [who] comforts you who? [are] you and you have been afraid from a person [who] he dies and from a child of humankind [who] grass he is made.

I, even I, am he that hath pity upon you; Who art thou, that thou art afraid of man, that shall die, Of the son of man, that shall perish like grass,

13 And you have forgotten Yahweh [who] made you [who] stretched out [the] heavens and [who] founded [the] earth and you have been in dread continually all the day of [the] anger of the oppressor when he has prepared to destroy and where? [is] [the] anger of the oppressor.

And forgettest Jehovah thy maker, That stretched out the heavens, And founded the earth, And fearest continually every day, On account of the fury of the oppressor, As if he were taking aim to destroy thee? Where now is the fury of the oppressor?

14 He will hasten [one who] stoops to be let loose and not he will die to the pit and not he will lack food his.

Soon shall the enchained be loosed; He shall not die in the pit, Nor shall his bread fail.

15 And I [am] Yahweh God your [who] stirs up the sea and they roared waves its [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.

For I am Jehovah thy God, That rebuketh the sea when his waves roar; Jehovah of hosts is his name.

16 And I have put words my in mouth your and with [the] shadow of hand my I have covered you to plant [the] heavens and to found [the] earth and to say to Zion [are] people my you.

I have put my words into thy mouth, And have covered thee with the shadow of my hand, To establish the heavens, and to found the earth. And to say to Zion, “Thou art my people!”

17 Rouse yourself rouse yourself arise O Jerusalem who you have drunk from [the] hand of Yahweh [the] cup of anger his [the] bowl of [the] cup of staggering you have drunk you have drained.

Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem! Thou that hast drunk from the hand of Jehovah the cup of his fury, Thou that hast drunk to the dregs the cup of giddiness!

18 There not [is one who] leads her of all [the] children [whom] she has borne and there not [is one who] takes hold on hand her from all [the] children [whom] she has brought up.

There is not one to lead her, of all the sons which she hath brought forth, Nor is there one to take her by the hand, of all the sons which she hath nurtured.

19 Two [things] they [have] happened to you who? does he show sympathy to you the devastation and the destruction and the famine and the sword who? do I comfort you.

These two things have come upon thee, And who bemoaneth thee? Desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword; How shall I comfort thee?

20 Children your they have become faint they have lain down at [the] head of all [the] streets like an antelope of a net which [are] full [the] anger of Yahweh [the] rebuke of God your.

Thy sons have fainted; they lie at the head of all the streets, Like a deer in the net; They are full of the wrath of Jehovah, Of the rebuke of thy God.

21 Therefore hear please this O afflicted [one] and O drunken [one] and not from wine.

Therefore, hear this, thou afflicted, Thou drunken, and not with wine!

22 Thus he says lord your Yahweh and God your [who] he conducts a case for people his here! I have taken from hand your [the] cup of staggering [the] bowl of [the] cup of anger my not you will repeat to drink it again.

Thus saith thy Lord, Jehovah, And thy God, that defendeth the cause of his people. Behold, I will take from thy hand the cup of giddiness, The cup of my wrath; Thou shalt drink no more of it.

23 And I will put it in [the] hand of [those who] torment you who they said to self your lie down so let us pass over [you] and you made like the ground back your and like the street for [those who] pass over.

And I will put it into the hand of them that have afflicted thee; That have said to thee, “Bow down, that we may pass over!” And thou madest thy body as the ground, And as the street, to them that passed over.
