Isaiah 42

KJV

1  Behold2005 my servant,5650 whom I uphold;8551 mine elect,972 in whom my soul5315 delighteth;7521 I have put5414 my spirit7307 upon5921 him: he shall bring forth3318 judgment4941 to the Gentiles.1471

2  He shall not3808 cry,6817 nor3808 lift up,5375 nor3808 cause his voice6963 to be heard8085 in the street.2351

3  A bruised7533 reed7070 shall he not3808 break,7665 and the smoking3544 flax6594 shall he not3808 quench:3518 he shall bring forth3318 judgment4941 unto truth.571

4  He shall not3808 fail3543 nor3808 be discouraged,7533 till5704 he have set7760 judgment4941 in the earth:776 and the isles339 shall wait3176 for his law.8451

5  Thus3541 saith559 God410 the LORD,3068 he that created1254 the heavens,8064 and stretched them out;5186 he that spread forth7554 the earth,776 and that which cometh out6631 of it; he that giveth5414 breath5397 unto the people5971 upon5921 it, and spirit7307 to them that walk1980 therein:

6  I589 the LORD3068 have called7121 thee in righteousness,6664 and will hold2388 thine hand,3027 and will keep5341 thee, and give5414 thee for a covenant1285 of the people,5971 for a light216 of the Gentiles;1471

7  To open6491 the blind5787 eyes,5869 to bring out3318 the prisoners616 from the prison,4480 4525 and them that sit3427 in darkness2822 out of the prison3608 house.4480 1004

8  I589 am the LORD:3068 that1931 is my name:8034 and my glory3519 will I not3808 give5414 to another,312 neither my praise8416 to graven images.6456

9  Behold,2009 the former things7223 are come to pass,935 and new things2319 do I589 declare:5046 before2962 they spring forth6779 I tell8085 you of them.

10  Sing7891 unto the LORD3068 a new2319 song,7892 and his praise8416 from the end4480 7097 of the earth,776 ye that go down3381 to the sea,3220 and all that is therein;4393 the isles,339 and the inhabitants3427 thereof.

11  Let the wilderness4057 and the cities5892 thereof lift up5375 their voice, the villages2691 that Kedar6938 doth inhabit:3427 let the inhabitants3427 of the rock5553 sing,7442 let them shout6681 from the top4480 7218 of the mountains.2022

12  Let them give7760 glory3519 unto the LORD,3068 and declare5046 his praise8416 in the islands.339

13  The LORD3068 shall go forth3318 as a mighty man,1368 he shall stir up5782 jealousy7068 like a man376 of war:4421 he shall cry,7321 yea,637 roar;6873 he shall prevail1396 against5921 his enemies.341

14  I have long time4480 5769 holden my peace;2814 I have been still,2790 and refrained myself:662 now will I cry6463 like a travailing woman;3205 I will destroy5395 and devour7602 at once.3162

15  I will make waste2717 mountains2022 and hills,1389 and dry up3001 all3605 their herbs;6212 and I will make7760 the rivers5104 islands,339 and I will dry up3001 the pools.98

16  And I will bring1980 the blind5787 by a way1870 that they knew3045 not;3808 I will lead them1869 in paths5410 that they have not3808 known:3045 I will make7760 darkness4285 light216 before6440 them, and crooked things4625 straight.4334 These428 things1697 will I do6213 unto them, and not3808 forsake5800 them.

17  They shall be turned5472 back,268 they shall be greatly ashamed,954 1322 that trust982 in graven images,6459 that say559 to the molten images,4541 Ye859 are our gods.430

18  Hear,8085 ye deaf;2795 and look,5027 ye blind,5787 that ye may see.7200

19  Who4310 is blind,5787 but3588 518 my servant?5650 or deaf,2795 as my messenger4397 that I sent?7971 who4310 is blind5787 as he that is perfect,7999 and blind5787 as the LORD's3068 servant?5650

20  Seeing7200 many things,7227 but thou observest8104 not;3808 opening6491 the ears,241 but he heareth8085 not.3808

21  The LORD3068 is well pleased2654 for his righteousness' sake;4616 6664 he will magnify1431 the law,8451 and make it honorable.142

22  But this1931 is a people5971 robbed962 and spoiled;8154 they are all3605 of them snared6351 in holes,2352 and they are hid2244 in prison3608 houses:1004 they are1961 for a prey,957 and none369 delivereth;5337 for a spoil,4933 and none369 saith,559 Restore.7725

23  Who4310 among you will give ear238 to this?2063 who will hearken7181 and hear8085 for the time to come?268

24  Who4310 gave5414 Jacob3290 for a spoil,4933 and Israel3478 to the robbers?962 did not3808 the LORD,3068 he against whom2098 we have sinned?2398 for they would14 not3808 walk1980 in his ways,1870 neither3808 were they obedient8085 unto his law.8451

25  Therefore he hath poured8210 upon5921 him the fury2534 of his anger,639 and the strength5807 of battle:4421 and it hath set him on fire3857 round about,4480 5439 yet he knew3045 not;3808 and it burned1197 him, yet he laid7760 it not3808 to5921 heart.3820

1 Ιακωβ ὁ παῖς μου ἀντιλήμψομαι αὐτοῦ Ισραηλ ὁ ἐκλεκτός μου προσεδέξατο αὐτὸν ἡ ψυχή μου ἔδωκα τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν κρίσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐξοίσει

2 οὐ κεκράξεται οὐδὲ ἀνήσει οὐδὲ ἀκουσθήσεται ἔξω ἡ φωνὴ αὐτοῦ

3 κάλαμον τεθλασμένον οὐ συντρίψει καὶ λίνον καπνιζόμενον οὐ σβέσει ἀλλὰ εἰς ἀλήθειαν ἐξοίσει κρίσιν

4 ἀναλάμψει καὶ οὐ θραυσθήσεται ἕως ἂν θῇ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κρίσιν καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσιν

5 οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ πήξας αὐτόν ὁ στερεώσας τὴν γῆν καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ διδοὺς πνοὴν τῷ λαῷ τῷ ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς καὶ πνεῦμα τοῖς πατοῦσιν αὐτήν

6 ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐκάλεσά σε ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ κρατήσω τῆς χειρός σου καὶ ἐνισχύσω σε καὶ ἔδωκά σε εἰς διαθήκην γένους εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν

7 ἀνοῖξαι ὀφθαλμοὺς τυφλῶν ἐξαγαγεῖν ἐκ δεσμῶν δεδεμένους καὶ ἐξ οἴκου φυλακῆς καθημένους ἐν σκότει

8 ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεός τοῦτό μού ἐστιν τὸ ὄνομα τὴν δόξαν μου ἑτέρῳ οὐ δώσω οὐδὲ τὰς ἀρετάς μου τοῖς γλυπτοῖς

9 τὰ ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς ἰδοὺ ἥκασιν καὶ καινὰ ἃ ἐγὼ ἀναγγελῶ καὶ πρὸ τοῦ ἀνατεῖλαι ἐδηλώθη ὑμῖν

10 ὑμνήσατε τῷ κυρίῳ ὕμνον καινόν ἡ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ δοξάζετε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾽ ἄκρου τῆς γῆς οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ πλέοντες αὐτήν αἱ νῆσοι καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτάς

11 εὐφράνθητι ἔρημος καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῆς ἐπαύλεις καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Κηδαρ εὐφρανθήσονται οἱ κατοικοῦντες Πέτραν ἀπ᾽ ἄκρων τῶν ὀρέων βοήσουσιν

12 δώσουσιν τῷ θεῷ δόξαν τὰς ἀρετὰς αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς νήσοις ἀναγγελοῦσιν

13 κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων ἐξελεύσεται καὶ συντρίψει πόλεμον ἐπεγερεῖ ζῆλον καὶ βοήσεται ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ μετὰ ἰσχύος

14 ἐσιώπησα μὴ καὶ ἀεὶ σιωπήσομαι καὶ ἀνέξομαι ἐκαρτέρησα ὡς ἡ τίκτουσα ἐκστήσω καὶ ξηρανῶ ἅμα

15 καὶ θήσω ποταμοὺς εἰς νήσους καὶ ἕλη ξηρανῶ

16 καὶ ἄξω τυφλοὺς ἐν ὁδῷ ᾗ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν καὶ τρίβους οὓς οὐκ ᾔδεισαν πατῆσαι ποιήσω αὐτούς ποιήσω αὐτοῖς τὸ σκότος εἰς φῶς καὶ τὰ σκολιὰ εἰς εὐθεῖαν ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ποιήσω καὶ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψω αὐτούς

17 αὐτοὶ δὲ ἀπεστράφησαν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω αἰσχύνθητε αἰσχύνην οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τοῖς γλυπτοῖς οἱ λέγοντες τοῖς χωνευτοῖς ὑμεῖς ἐστε θεοὶ ἡμῶν

18 οἱ κωφοί ἀκούσατε καὶ οἱ τυφλοί ἀναβλέψατε ἰδεῖν

19 καὶ τίς τυφλὸς ἀλλ᾽ ἢ οἱ παῖδές μου καὶ κωφοὶ ἀλλ᾽ ἢ οἱ κυριεύοντες αὐτῶν καὶ ἐτυφλώθησαν οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ θεοῦ

20 εἴδετε πλεονάκις καὶ οὐκ ἐφυλάξασθε ἠνοιγμένα τὰ ὦτα καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε

21 κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐβούλετο ἵνα δικαιωθῇ καὶ μεγαλύνῃ αἴνεσιν καὶ εἶδον

22 καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ λαὸς πεπρονομευμένος καὶ διηρπασμένος ἡ γὰρ παγὶς ἐν τοῖς ταμιείοις πανταχοῦ καὶ ἐν οἴκοις ἅμα ὅπου ἔκρυψαν αὐτούς ἐγένοντο εἰς προνομήν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος ἅρπαγμα καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ λέγων ἀπόδος

23 τίς ἐν ὑμῖν ὃς ἐνωτιεῖται ταῦτα εἰσακούσεται εἰς τὰ ἐπερχόμενα

24 τίς ἔδωκεν εἰς διαρπαγὴν Ιακωβ καὶ Ισραηλ τοῖς προνομεύουσιν αὐτόν οὐχὶ ὁ θεός ᾧ ἡμάρτοσαν αὐτῷ καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλοντο ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ πορεύεσθαι οὐδὲ ἀκούειν τοῦ νόμου αὐτοῦ

25 καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ὀργὴν θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατίσχυσεν αὐτοὺς πόλεμος καὶ οἱ συμφλέγοντες αὐτοὺς κύκλῳ καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἕκαστος αὐτῶν οὐδὲ ἔθεντο ἐπὶ ψυχήν

Vul

1 [Ecce servus meus, suscipiam eum;
electus meus, complacuit sibi in illo anima mea:
dedi spiritum meum super eum:
judicium gentibus proferet.

2 Non clamabit, neque accipiet personam,
nec audietur vox ejus foris.

3 Calamum quassatum non conteret,
et linum fumigans non extinguet:
in veritate educet judicium.

4 Non erit tristis, neque turbulentus,
donec ponat in terra judicium;
et legem ejus insulæ exspectabunt.

5 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus,
creans cælos, et extendens eos;
formans terram, et quæ germinant ex ea;
dans flatum populo qui est super eam,
et spiritum calcantibus eam:

6 Ego Dominus vocavi te in justitia,
et apprehendi manum tuam,
et servavi te:
et dedi te in fœdus populi,
in lucem gentium,

7 ut aperires oculos cæcorum,
et educeres de conclusione vinctum,
de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris.

8 Ego Dominus,
hoc est nomen meum;
gloriam meam alteri non dabo,
et laudem meam sculptilibus.

9 Quæ prima fuerunt, ecce venerunt;
nova quoque ego annuntio:
antequam oriantur,
audita vobis faciam.]

10 [Cantate Domino canticum novum,
laus ejus ab extremis terræ,
qui descenditis in mare, et plenitudo ejus;
insulæ, et habitatores earum.

11 Sublevetur desertum et civitates ejus.
In domibus habitabit Cedar:
laudate, habitatores petræ;
de vertice montium clamabunt.

12 Ponent Domino gloriam,
et laudem ejus in insulis nuntiabunt.

13 Dominus sicut fortis egredietur,
sicut vir præliator suscitabit zelum;
vociferabitur, et clamabit:
super inimicos suos confortabitur.]

14 [Tacui semper,
silui, patiens fui:
sicut parturiens loquar;
dissipabo, et absorbebo simul.

15 Desertos faciam montes et colles,
et omne gramen eorum exsiccabo;
et ponam flumina in insulas,
et stagna arefaciam.

16 Et ducam cæcos in viam quam nesciunt,
et in semitis quas ignoraverunt ambulare eos faciam;
ponam tenebras coram eis in lucem,
et prava in recta;
hæc verba feci eis,
et non dereliqui eos.

17 Conversi sunt retrorsum, confundantur confusione,
qui confidunt in sculptili;
qui dicunt conflatili:
Vos dii nostri.

18 Surdi, audite,
et cæci, intuemini ad videndum.

19 Quis cæcus, nisi servus meus;
et surdus, nisi ad quem nuntios meos misi?
quis cæcus, nisi qui venundatus est?
et quis cæcus, nisi servus Domini?

20 Qui vides multa, nonne custodies?
qui apertas habes aures, nonne audies?

21 Et Dominus voluit ut sanctificaret eum,
et magnificaret legem, et extolleret.

22 Ipse autem populus direptus, et vastatus;
laqueus juvenum omnes,
et in domibus carcerum absconditi sunt;
facti sunt in rapinam, nec est qui eruat;
in direptionem, nec est qui dicat: Redde.

23 Quis est in vobis qui audiat hoc,
attendat, et auscultet futura?

24 Quis dedit in direptionem Jacob,
et Israël vastantibus?
nonne Dominus ipse, cui peccavimus?
Et noluerunt in viis ejus ambulare,
et non audierunt legem ejus.

25 Et effudit super eum indignationem furoris sui,
et forte bellum;
et combussit eum in circuitu, et non cognovit;
et succendit eum, et non intellexit.]
