  54:1 ¶
Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that dost not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said, |
|
54:1 ¶
Sing,ºº
O barren,º
thou [that] didst notº
bear;ºº
break forthºº
into singing,º
and cry aloud,ºº
thou [that] didst notº
travail with child:ºº
forº
moreº
[are] the childrenº
of the desolateºº
than the childrenºº
of the married wife,ºº
saithºº
Yahweh.º |
|
54:2
Enlarge the placed of thy tent, and of thy curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy pins; |
|
54:2
Enlargeºº
the placeº
of thy tent,º
and let them stretch forthºº
the curtainsº
of thine habitations:º
spareºº
not,º
lengthenºº
thy cords,º
and strengthenºº
thy stakes;º |
|
54:3
spread forth [thy tent] yet to the right and the left: for thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and thou shalt make the desolate cities to be inhabited. |
|
54:3
Forº
thou shalt break forthºº
on the right handº
and on the left;º
and thy seedº
shall inheritºº
the Gentiles,º
and make the desolateºº
citiesº
to be inhabited.ºº |
|
54:4
Fear not, because thou has been put to shame, neither be confounded, because thou was reproached: for thou shalt forget thy former shame, and shalt no more at all remember the reproach of thy widowhood. |
|
54:4
Fearºº
not;º
forº
thou shalt notº
be ashamed:ºº
neitherº
be thou confounded;ºº
forº
thou shalt notº
be put to shame:ºº
forº
thou shalt forgetºº
the shameº
of thy youth,º
and shalt notº
rememberºº
the reproachº
of thy widowhoodº
any more.º |
|
54:5
For [it is] the Lord that made thee; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered thee, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth. |
|
54:5
Forº
thy Makerºº
[is] thine husband;ºº
Yahwehº
Sabaothº
[is] his name;º
and thy Redeemerºº
the Holy Oneº
of Israel;º
The Elohimº
of the wholeº
earthº
shall he be called.ºº |
|
54:6
The Lord has not called thee as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, saith thy God. |
|
54:6
Forº
Yahwehº
hath calledºº
thee as a womanº
forsakenºº
and grievedºº
in spirit,º
and a wifeº
of youth,º
whenº
thou wast refused,ºº
saithºº
thy Elohim.º |
|
54:7
For a little while I left thee: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon thee. |
|
54:7
For a smallº
momentº
have I forsakenºº
thee; but with greatº
merciesº
will I gatherºº
thee. |
|
54:8
In a little wrath I turned away my face from thee; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon thee, saith the Lord that delivers thee. |
|
54:8
In a littleº
wrathº
I hidºº
my faceº
fromº
thee for a moment;º
but with everlastingº
kindnessº
will I have mercyºº
on thee, saithºº
Yahwehº
thy Redeemer.ºº |
|
54:9
From the time of the water of Noah{gr.Noe} this is my [purpose]: as I sware to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be wroth with thee, neither when thou art threatened, |
|
54:9
Forº
thisº
[is as] the watersº
of Noahº
unto me: forº
[as] I have swornºº
that the watersº
of Noahº
should no moreº
goºº
overººº
the earth;º
soº
have I swornºº
that I would not be wrothººº
withº
thee, nor rebukeººº
thee. |
|
54:10
shall the mountains depart, nor shall thy hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail thee, nor shall the covenant of thy peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to thee has spoken [it]. |
|
54:10
Forº
the mountainsº
shall depart,ºº
and the hillsº
be removed;ºº
but my kindnessº
shall notº
departºº
fromºº
thee, neitherº
shall the covenantº
of my peaceº
be removed,ºº
saithºº
Yahwehº
that hath mercyºº
on thee. |
|
54:11 ¶
Afflicted and outcast thou has not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] thy stones, and sapphire for thy foundations; |
|
54:11 ¶
O thou afflicted,º
tossed with tempest,ºº
[and] notº
comforted,ºº
behold,º
Iº
will layºº
thy stonesº
with fair colours,º
and lay thy foundationsºº
with sapphires.º |
|
54:12
and I will make thy buttresses jasper, and thy gates crystal, and thy border precious stones. |
|
54:12
And I will makeºº
thy windowsº
of agates,º
and thy gatesº
of carbuncles,ºº
and allº
thy bordersº
of pleasantº
stones.º |
|
54:13
And [I will cause] all thy sons [to be] taught of God, and thy children [to be] in great peace. |
|
54:13
And allº
thy childrenº
[shall be] taughtº
of Yahweh;º
and greatº
[shall be] the peaceº
of thy children.º |
|
54:14
And thou shalt be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and thou shalt not fear; and trembling shall not come nigh thee. |
|
54:14
In righteousnessº
shalt thou be established:ºº
thou shalt be farºº
from oppression;ºº
forº
thou shalt notº
fear:ºº
and from terror;ºº
forº
it shall notº
come nearººº
thee. |
|
54:15
Behold, strangers shall come to thee by me, and shall sojourn with thee, and shall run to thee for refuge. |
|
54:15
Behold,º
they shall surelyºº
gather together,ºº
[but] notº
byºº
me: whosoeverº
shall gather togetherºº
againstº
thee shall fallºº
forº
thy sake. |
|
54:16
Behold, I have created thee, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created thee, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [thee]. |
|
54:16
Behold,º
Iº
have createdºº
the smithº
that blowethºº
the coalsº
in the fire,º
and that bringeth forthºº
an instrumentº
for his work;º
and Iº
have createdºº
the wasterºº
to destroy.ºº |
|
54:17 ¶
I will not suffer any weapon formed against thee to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against tee for judgment, thou shalt vanquish them all; and thine adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and ye shall be righteous before me, saith the Lord. |
|
54:17 ¶
Noºº
weaponº
that is formedºº
againstº
thee shall prosper;ºº
and everyº
tongueº
[that] shall riseºº
againstº
thee in judgmentº
thou shalt condemn.ºº
Thisº
[is] the heritageº
of the servantsº
of Yahweh,º
and their righteousnessº
[is] ofºº
me, saithºº
Yahweh.º |
