Isaiah 49

1 Listen, islands, to me. Listen, you peoples, from afar: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name.

Listen O islands to me and pay attention O peoples from a distance Yahweh from [the] womb he called me from [the] inward parts of mother my he has brought to remembrance name my.

2 He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

And he made mouth my like a sword sharp in [the] shadow of hand his he hid me and he made me an arrow polished in quiver his he concealed me.

3 He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”

And he said to me [are] servant my you Israel whom by you I will get glory for myself.

4 But I said, “I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength in vain for nothing; yet surely the justice due to me is with Yahweh, and my reward with my God.”

And I I said to emptiness I have labored to nothingness and futility strength my I have caused to fail nevertheless justice my [is] with Yahweh and recompense my [is] with God my.

5 Now Yahweh, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, says to bring Jacob again to him, and to gather Israel to him, for I am honorable in Yahweh’s eyes, and my God has become my strength.

And now - he says Yahweh [who] formed me from [the] womb a servant of him to bring back Jacob to him and Israel (to him *QK) it will be gathered and I may be honored in [the] eyes of Yahweh and God my he has been strength my.

6 Indeed, he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”

And he said it is [too] trifling for being you of me servant to raise up [the] tribes of Jacob (and [the] preserved [ones] of *QK) Israel to bring back and I will make you a light of [the] nations to be salvation my to [the] end of the earth.

7 Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

Thus he says Yahweh [the] redeemer of Israel holy [one] its to despise life to [one who] abhors a nation to a servant of rulers kings they will see and they will stand up princes so they may bow down on account of Yahweh who [is] faithful [the] holy [one] of Israel and he has chosen you.

8 Yahweh says, “I have answered you in an acceptable time. I have helped you in a day of salvation. I will preserve you and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage,

Thus - he says Yahweh in a time of favor I will answer you and on a day of salvation I will help you and I will watch over you and I will make you a covenant of [the] people to raise up [the] land to give as inheritance inheritances desolate.

9 saying to those who are bound, ‘Come out!’; to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves!’ “They shall feed along the paths, and their pasture shall be on all treeless heights.

To say to [the] prisoners come out to [those] who [are] in darkness reveal yourselves on roads they will graze and [will be] on all bare heights pasture their.

10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them, for he who has mercy on them will lead them. He will guide them by springs of water.

Not they will be hungry and not they will be thirsty and not it will strike them burning heat and sun for [one who] has compassion on them he will guide them and to springs of water he will lead them.

11 I will make all my mountains a road, and my highways shall be exalted.

And I will make all mountains my into road and highways my they will be lifted up!

12 Behold, these shall come from afar, and behold, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.”

Here! these from a distance they will come and here! these from [the] north and from [the] west and these from [the] land of Sinim.

13 Sing, heavens, and be joyful, earth! Break out into singing, mountains! For Yahweh has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.

Shout for joy O heaven and be glad O earth (and break forth *QK) O mountains a shout of joy for he has comforted Yahweh people his and afflicted [people] his he has compassion on.

14 But Zion said, “Yahweh has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.”

And it said Zion he has forsaken me Yahweh and [the] Lord he has forgotten me.

15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!

¿ Will she forget a woman sucking child her from having compassion on [the] child of womb her also these they will forget and I not I will forget you.

16 Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands. Your walls are continually before me.

Here! on palms of hands I have inscribed you walls your [are] before me continually.

17 Your children hurry. Your destroyers and those who devastated you will leave you.

They have made haste children your [those who] tear down you and [those who] make desolate you from you they will go out.

18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live,” says Yahweh, “you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.

Lift up all around eyes your and see all of them they have gathered together they have come to you [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh that all of them like ornament[s] you will put on and you will tie on them like bride.

19 “For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now that land will be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up will be far away.

For waste places your and desolate [places] your and [the] land of destruction your for now you will be [too] cramped for [the] inhabitant[s] and they will be far away [those who] swallowed up you.

20 The children of your bereavement will say in your ears, ‘This place is too small for me. Give me a place to live in.’

Yet they will say in ears your [the] children of bereavement your it is cramped for me the place draw near! for me so let me dwell.

21 Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children and am alone, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought these up? Behold, I was left alone. Where were these?’”

And you will say in heart your who? did he father for me these [children] and I [was] bereaved and barren gone into exile - and thrust away and these [children] who? did he bring up here! I I remained to alone me these [children] where? [are] they.

22 The Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and lift up my banner to the peoples. They shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I will lift up to [the] nations hand my and to peoples I will raise standard my and they will bring sons your in a bosom and daughters your on a shoulder they will be carried.

23 Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me won’t be disappointed.”

And they will be kings foster-fathers your and princesses their wet nurses your faces ground they will bow down to you and [the] dust of feet your they will lick up and you will know that I [am] Yahweh whom not they will be ashamed [those who] wait for me.

24 Shall the plunder be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?

¿ Will it be taken from a warrior booty and or? [the] captive[s] of [the] righteous will it escape.

25 But Yahweh says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce, for I will contend with him who contends with you and I will save your children.

For thus - he says Yahweh also a captive of a warrior he will be taken and [the] booty of a ruthless [person] it will be delivered and opponent your I I will oppose and children your I I will save.

26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they will be drunk on their own blood, as with sweet wine. Then all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

And I will cause to eat [those who] maltreat you own flesh their and like sweet wine own blood their they will become drunk! and they will know all flesh that I [am] Yahweh deliverer your and redeemer your [the] mighty one of Jacob.
