Isaiah 51
51:1Hearken to me! O ones pursuing the just thing, and seeking the lord. Look unto the solid rock! which you quarried, and into the pit of the well which you dug.
51:2Look unto Abraham your father! and unto Sarah the one travailing you. For he was one person, and I called him, and blessed him, and loved him, and multiplied him.
51:3And now I will comfort you, O Zion. And I comforted all her desolate places; and I will make her desolate places as a park; and her western places as a park of the lord. They shall find gladness and a leap for joy in her -- acknowledgment and a voice of praise.
51:4Hear me! Hear me O my people! and O kings give ear to me! For a law shall go forth from me, and my judgment for a light of nations.
51:5My righteousness approaches quickly, and my deliverance shall go forth as light, and on my arm they shall hope. Islands shall wait for me, and on my arm they shall hope.
51:6Lift up your eyes unto the heaven, and look unto the earth below! For the heaven is as smoke having been solidified. And the earth as a cloak shall be old, and the ones inhabiting shall die as these. But the deliverance of mine shall be into the eon, and the righteousness of mine in no way shall fail.
51:7Hear me, O ones knowing equity! a people of whom my law is in their heart. Do not fear the scorning of men, and let their disparagement not vanquish you!
51:8For as a garment will be eaten upon time, and as wool shall be eaten by a moth; but the righteousness of mine will be into the eon; and the deliverance of mine for generations of generations.
51:9Awaken! Awaken! O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of your arm! Awaken as in the beginning of days, as a generation of an eon! Are not you her being quarried in width, being torn up by the dragon?
51:10Are you not her making desolate the sea, the abundance of the deep water, the one putting the depths of the sea for a way of a ford to the ones being rescued,
51:11and the ones being ransomed? For by the lord they shall be returned, and shall come unto Zion with gladness, and an everlasting leap for joy. For upon their head praise and gladness shall overtake them. Grief and distress and moaning ran away.
51:12I am, I am he, the one comforting you. Know who is being! that you should be fearful from mortal man, and from a son of man -- the ones who as grass were dried up.
51:13And you forgot God, the one making you, the one making the heaven, and laying the foundation for the earth. And fear continually all the days in front of the rage of the one afflicting you! in which manner he planned to carry you away. And now where is the rage of the one afflicting you?
51:14For in your being delivered, he shall not stop nor pass time. And he shall not kill for hurt, and in no way shall he lack his bread.
51:15For I am your God, the one disturbing the sea, and resounding its waves. The lord of Hosts is my name.
51:16I will put my words into your mouth. And under the shadow of my hand I will shelter you, in which I established the heaven, and founded the earth. And he shall say to Zion, You are my people.
51:17Awaken! Awaken! Rise up, O Jerusalem! the one drinking from the hand of the lord the cup of his rage. For the cup of the blow, the drinking cup of rage you drank and emptied out.
51:18And there was no one comforting you from all your children whom you gave birth. And there was none taking hold of your hand, nor of all your sons whom you raised.
51:19Therefore these things are adverse to you. Who will grieve with you? A calamitous downfall, and defeat, hunger, and sword; who will comfort you?
51:20Your sons, the ones being perplexed, the ones sleeping upon the top of all the streets, as a half-boiled beet; the ones full of the rage of the lord, fainting from the lord God.
51:21On account of this, hear! O one being humbled, and O one being intoxicated not from wine.
51:22Thus says the lord God, the one judging his people, Behold, I took from out of your hand the cup of the blow, the drinking cup of my rage; and you shall not proceed to drink it any longer.
51:23And I give it into the hand of the ones wronging you, and of the ones humbling you; the ones who said to your soul, Bow! that we should go by. And you put the things in your midst equal to the ground outside to the ones coming near.
