< Isaiah 48 >

1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Listen to this O house of Jacob those [who] are called by [the] name of Israel and from [the] waters of Judah they came out those [who] swear - by [the] name of Yahweh and [the] God of Israel they bring to remembrance not in truth and not in righteousness.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
For from [the] city of holiness they have called themselves and on [the] God of Israel they have supported themselves [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth from my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
The former [things] from then I declared and from mouth my they went out and I proclaimed them suddenly I acted and they came.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
For knew I that [were] stubborn you and [was] a sinew of iron neck your and forehead your [was] bronze.
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I showed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, My idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
And I declared [them] to you from then before it came I proclaimed to you lest you should say idol my it did them and carved image my and molten image my it commanded them.
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have showed ye new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
You have heard look at all of it and you ¿ not will you tell I will proclaim to you new [things] from now and secret [things] and not you have known them.
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
Now they have been created and not from then and before a day and not you had heard of them lest you should say here! I knew them.
8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thy ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
Neither not you heard nor not you knew nor from then not it opened ear your for I knew certainly you will act treacherously and a rebel from [the] womb it has been called to you.
9 For my name’s sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I restrain it for thee, that I cut thee not off.
For [the] sake of name my I will make long anger my and praise my I will restrain myself to you to not to cut off you.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Here! I have refined you and not silver I have chosen you in a furnace of affliction.
11 For my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be profaned? and I will not give my glory to another.
For own sake my for own sake my I will act for how? will it be profaned and glory my to another not I will give.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Listen to me O Jacob and Israel called [one] my I [am] he I [am] first also I [am] last.
13 My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
Also hand my it founded [the] earth and right [hand] my it spread out [the] heavens [am] calling I to them they stand together.
14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; who among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
Gather together all of you and listen who? among them has he declared these [things] Yahweh he loves him he will execute pleasure his on Babylon and arm his [the] Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
I I I have spoken also I have summoned him I have brought him and he will make successful way his.
16 Come ye near to me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
Draw near to me listen to this not from [the] beginning in secrecy I have spoken from [the] time happened it [was] there I and now [the] Lord Yahweh he has sent me and spirit his.
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
Thus he says Yahweh redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel I [am] Yahweh God your [who] teaches you to profit [who] leads you in [the] way [which] you will go.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
If you had paid attention to commandments my and it was like river peace your and righteousness your like [the] waves of the sea.
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy body like its gravel; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
And it was like the sand offspring your and [the] descendants of inward parts your like grains its not it will be cut off and not it will be destroyed name its from to before me.
20 Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Go out from Babylon flee from [the] Chaldeans with a sound of a shout of joy declare proclaim this send out it to [the] end of the earth say he has redeemed Yahweh servant his Jacob.
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
And not they were thirsty [when] in [the] waste places he led them water from a rock he caused to flow for them and he split open a rock and they flowed out waters.
22 There is no peace, saith the LORD, to the wicked.
Not peace he says Yahweh [belongs] to wicked [people].
