1Kayo'y magsipakinig sa akin, Oh mga pulo; at inyong pakinggan, ninyong mga bayan, sa malayo: tinawag ako ng Panginoon mula sa bahay-bata; mula sa bahay-bata ng aking ina ay binanggit niya ang aking pangalan: 2At kaniyang ginawa ang aking bibig na parang matalas na tabak; sa lilim ng kaniyang kamay ay ikinubli niya ako: at ginawa niya akong makinang na pana; sa kaniyang lalagyan ng pana ay itinago niya ako: 3At sinabi niya sa akin, Ikaw ay aking lingkod; Israel, na siyang aking ikaluluwalhati. 4Nguni't aking sinabi, Ako'y gumawang walang kabuluhan, aking ginugol ang aking lakas sa wala, at sa walang kabuluhan; gayon ma'y tunay na ang kahatulan sa akin ay nasa Panginoon, at ang kagantihan sa akin ay nasa aking Dios. 5At ngayo'y sinasabi ng Panginoon na naganyo sa akin mula sa bahay-bata upang maging kaniyang lingkod, upang dalhin uli ang Jacob sa kaniya, at ang Israel ay mapisan sa kaniya: (sapagka't ako'y marangal sa mga mata ng Panginoon, at ang aking Dios ay naging aking kalakasan;) 6Oo, kaniyang sinasabi, Totoong magaan ang bagay na ikaw ay naging aking lingkod upang ibangon ang mga lipi ng Jacob, at isauli ang iningatan ng Israel, ikaw ay aking ibibigay na pinakailaw sa mga Gentil upang ikaw ay maging aking kaligtasan hanggang sa wakas ng lupa. 7Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Manunubos ng Israel, na kaniyang Banal, doon sa hinahamak ng tao, doon sa kinayayamutan ng bansa, sa lingkod ng mga pinuno, Ang mga hari at ang mga pangulo, ay mangakakakita at magsisibangon, at sila'y magsisisamba; dahil sa Panginoon na tapat, sa Banal ng Israel, na siyang pumili sa iyo. 8Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Sa kalugodlugod na panahon ay sinagot kita, at sa araw ng pagliligtas ay tinulungan kita: at aking iningatan ka, at ibibigay kita na pinakatipan sa bayan, upang ibangon ang lupain, upang ipamana sa kanila ang mga sirang mana; 9Na nagsasabi sa kanilang nangabibilanggo, Kayo'y magsilabas; sa kanilang nangasa kadiliman, Pakita kayo. Sila'y magsisikain sa mga daan, at ang lahat na luwal na kaitaasan ay magiging kanilang pastulan. 10Sila'y hindi mangagugutom, o mangauuhaw man; at hindi man sila mangapapaso ng init, o ng araw man: sapagka't siyang may awa sa kanila ay papatnubay sa kanila, sa makatuwid baga'y sa tabi ng mga bukal ng tubig ay papatnubayan niya sila. 11At aking gagawing daan ang lahat ng aking mga bundok, at ang aking mga lansangan ay patataasin. 12Narito, ang mga ito'y manggagaling sa malayo; at, narito, ang mga ito ay mula sa hilagaan, at mula sa kalunuran; at ang mga ito ay mula sa lupain ng Sinim. 13Ikaw ay umawit, Oh langit; at magalak, Oh lupa; at kayo'y biglang magsiawit, Oh mga bundok: sapagka't inaliw ng Panginoon ang kaniyang bayan, at mahahabag sa kaniyang nagdadalamhati. 14Nguni't sinabi ng Sion, Pinabayaan ako ni Jehova, at nilimot ako ng Panginoon. 15Malilimutan ba ng babae ang kaniyang batang pasusuhin; na siya'y hindi mahahabag sa anak ng kaniyang bahay-bata? oo, ito'y makalilimot, nguni't hindi kita kalilimutan. 16Narito aking inanyuan ka sa mga palad ng aking mga kamay; ang iyong mga kuta ay laging nangasa harap ko. 17Ang iyong mga anak ay mangagmamadali; ang mga manghahamak sa iyo at ang sumisira sa iyo ay aalis sa iyo. 18Imulat mo ang iyong mga mata sa palibot, at tingnan mo: lahat ng mga ito ay nagpipipisan, at naparirito sa iyo. Buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoon, ikaw ay mabibihisan ng lahat ng mga yaon, na parang pinakagayak, at mabibigkisan ka ng mga yaon na parang isang kasintahang babae. 19Sapagka't tungkol sa iyong mga sira at sa iyong mga gibang dako at sa iyong lupain na nawasak, tunay na ikaw ngayon ay magiging totoong napakakipot sa mga mananahan, at silang nagsisisakmal sa iyo ay mangalalayo. 20Ang mga anak ng inyong kapanglawan ay mangagsasabi pa sa iyong mga pakinig, Ang dako ay totoong makipot sa ganang akin: bigyan mo ako ng dako upang aking matahanan. 21Kung magkagayo'y sasabihin mo sa iyong sarili, Sinong nanganak ng mga ito sa akin, dangang nawalan ako ng aking mga anak, at ako'y nagiisa, tapon, at lumalaboy na paroo't parito? at sinong nagpalaki ng mga ito? Narito, ako'y naiwang magisa; mga ito, saan nangandoon? 22Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Narito, aking ikakaway ang aking kamay sa mga bansa, at itatayo ko ang aking watawat sa mga bayan; at sila'y kakalong ng iyong mga anak na lalake sa kanilang sinapupunan, at ang iyong mga anak na babae ay papasanin ng kanilang mga balikat. 23At mga hari ang magiging iyong mga taga kandiling ama, at ang kanilang mga reina, ay iyong mga taga kandiling ina: sila'y magsisiyukod sa iyo ng kanilang mga mukha sa lupa, at hihimuran ang alabok ng inyong mga paa: at iyong makikilala, na ako ang Panginoon, at ang nangaghihintay sa akin ay hindi mangapapahiya. 24Makukuha baga ang huli sa makapangyarihan, o maliligtas ang mga talagang nabihag? 25Nguni't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Pati ng mga bihag ng makapangyarihan ay kukunin, at ang huli ng kakilakilabot ay maliligtas; sapagka't ako'y makikipaglaban sa kaniya na nakikipaglaban sa iyo, at aking ililigtas ang iyong mga anak. 26At aking pakakanin silang nagsisipighati sa iyo ng kanilang sariling laman; at sila'y mangalalango ng kanilang sariling dugo, na gaya ng matamis na alak: at makikilala ng lahat ng tao, na akong Panginoon ay iyong Tagapagligtas, at iyong Manunubos, na Makapangyarihan ng Jacob.
1Listen, islands, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name: 2and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me: and he has made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he kept me close: 3and he said to me, “You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified.” 4But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with Yahweh, and my reward with my God.” 5Now says Yahweh who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God has become my strength); 6yes, 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 for a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.” 7Thus says Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.” 8Thus says Yahweh, “In an acceptable time have I answered you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you; and 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: 9saying to those who are bound, ‘Come out!’; to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves!’ “They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture. 10They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them. 11I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. 12Behold, these shall come from far; and behold, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.” 13Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break out into singing, mountains: for Yahweh has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted. 14But Zion said, “Yahweh has forsaken me, and the Lord 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! 16Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me. 17Your children make haste; your destroyers and those who made you waste shall go out from you. 18Lift 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. 19“For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away. 20The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell. 21Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?’” 22Thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders. 23Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed.” 24Shall the plunder be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered? 25But thus says Yahweh, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children. 26I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
1Hoort naar Mij, gij eilanden! en luistert toe, gij volken van verre! De HEERE heeft Mij geroepen van den buik af, van Mijner moeders ingewand af heeft Hij Mijn Naam gemeld. 2En Hij heeft Mijn mond gemaakt als een scherp zwaard, onder de schaduw Zijner hand heeft Hij Mij bedekt; en Hij heeft Mij tot een zuiveren pijl gesteld, in Zijn pijlkoker heeft Hij Mij verborgen. 3En Hij heeft tot Mij gezegd: Gij zijt Mijn Knecht, Israel, door Welken Ik verheerlijkt zal worden. 4Doch Ik zeide: Ik heb te vergeefs gearbeid, Ik heb Mijn kracht onnuttelijk en ijdelijk toegebracht; gewisselijk, Mijn recht is bij den HEERE, en Mijn werkloon is bij Mijn God. 5En nu zegt de HEERE, Die Mij Zich van moeders buik af tot een Knecht geformeerd heeft, dat Ik Jakob tot Hem wederbrengen zou; maar Israel zal zich niet verzamelen laten; nochtans zal Ik verheerlijkt worden in de ogen des HEEREN, en Mijn God zal Mijn Sterkte zijn. 6Verder zeide Hij: Het is te gering, dat Gij Mij een Knecht zoudt zijn, om op te richten de stammen van Jakob, en om weder te brengen de bewaarden in Israel; Ik heb U ook gegeven tot een Licht der heidenen, om Mijn heil te zijn tot aan het einde der aarde. 7Alzo zegt de HEERE, de Verlosser van Israel, Zijn Heilige, tot de verachte ziel, tot Dien, aan Welken het volk een gruwel heeft, tot den Knecht dergenen, die heersen: Koningen zullen het zien en opstaan, ook vorsten, en zij zullen zich voor U buigen; om des HEEREN wil, Die getrouw is, om den Heilige Israels, Die U verkoren heeft. 8Alzo zegt de HEERE: In dien tijd des welbehagens heb Ik U verhoord, en ten dage des heils heb Ik U geholpen; en Ik zal U bewaren, en Ik zal U geven tot een verbond des volks, om het aardrijk op te richten, om de verwoeste erfenissen te doen beerven; 9Om te zeggen tot de gebondenen: Gaat uit; tot hen, die in duisternis zijn: Komt te voorschijn; zij zullen op de wegen weiden, en op alle hoge plaatsen zal hun weide wezen. 10Zij zullen niet hongeren, noch dorsten, en de hitte en de zon zal hen niet steken; want hun Ontfermer zal ze leiden, en Hij zal hen aan de springaders der wateren zachtjes leiden. 11En Ik zal al Mijn bergen tot een weg maken, en Mijn banen zullen verhoogd zijn. 12Zie, deze zullen van verre komen; en zie, die van het noorden en van het westen, en geen uit het land van Sinim. 13Juicht, gij hemelen! en verheug u, gij aarde! en gij bergen! maakt gedreun met gejuich; want de HEERE heeft Zijn volk vertroost, en Hij zal Zich over Zijn ellendigen ontfermen. 14Doch Sion zegt: De HEERE heeft mij verlaten, en de HEERE heeft mij vergeten. 15Kan ook een vrouw haar zuigeling vergeten, dat zij zich niet ontferme over den zoon haars buiks? Ofschoon deze vergate, zo zal Ik toch u niet vergeten. 16Zie, Ik heb u in de beide handpalmen gegraveerd; uw muren zijn steeds voor Mij. 17Uw zonen zullen zich haasten; maar uw verstoorders en uw verwoesters zullen van u uitgaan. 18Hef uw ogen op rondom, en zie, alle deze vergaderen zich, zij komen tot u; Zo waarachtig als Ik leef, spreekt de HEERE, zekerlijk, gij zult u met alle dezen als met een sieraad bekleden, en gij zult ze u aanbinden, gelijk een bruid. 19Want in uw woeste en uw eenzame plaatsen, en uw verstoord land, gewisselijk, nu zult gij benauwd worden van inwoners; en die u verslonden, zullen zich verre van u maken. 20Nog zullen de kinderen, waarvan gij beroofd waart, zeggen voor uw oren: De plaats is mij te nauw, wijk van mij, dat ik wonen moge. 21En gij zult zeggen in uw hart: Wie heeft mij dezen gegenereerd, aangezien ik van kinderen beroofd en eenzaam was? Ik was in de gevangenis gegaan, en weggeweken; wie heeft mij dan deze opgevoed? Ziet, ik was alleen overgelaten, waar waren dezen? 22Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: Ziet, Ik zal Mijn hand opheffen tot de heidenen, en tot de volken zal Ik Mijn banier opsteken; dan zullen zij uw zonen in de armen brengen, en uw dochters zullen op den schouders gedragen worden. 23En koningen zullen uw voedsterheren zijn, hun vorstinnen uw zoogvrouwen; zij zullen zich voor u buigen met het aangezicht ter aarde, en zij zullen het stof uwer voeten lekken; en gij zult weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben, dat zij niet beschaamd zullen worden die Mij verwachten. 24Zou ook een machtige de vangst ontnomen worden, of zouden de gevangenen eens rechtvaardigen ontkomen? 25Doch alzo zegt de HEERE: Ja, de gevangenen des machtigen zullen hem ontnomen worden, en de vangst des tirans zal ontkomen; want met uw twisters zal Ik twisten, en uw kinderen zal Ik verlossen. 26En Ik zal uw verdrukkers spijzen met hun eigen vlees, en van hun eigen bloed zullen zij dronken worden, als van zoeten wijn; en alle vlees zal gewaar worden, dat Ik, de HEERE, uw Heiland ben, en uw Verlosser, de Machtige Jakobs.
