YLT
Young's Literal Translation
“Listen
to
Me, you
who
pursue
righteousness, you
who
seek
the
LORD:
Look to
the rock from
which
you
were
cut
, and to
the quarry
from
which
you
were
hewn
.
Hearken
unto
Me, ye
pursuing
righteousness, Seeking
Jehovah,
Look attentively
unto
the rock --
ye
have
been
hewn
, And unto
the hole
of
the
pit
--
ye
have
been
digged
.
Look to
Abraham your father, and to
Sarah who
gave
you birth.
When
I called him, he
was
but
one;
then
I blessed
him and multiplied
him.
Look attentively
unto
Abraham your father, And unto
Sarah --
she
bringeth
you forth,
For
--
one
--
I have
called him, And
I bless
him ,
and multiply
him.
For the
LORD
will
comfort
Zion and
will
look
with
compassion
on
all her ruins;
He will
make
her wilderness like
Eden and her desert like
the
garden of the
LORD.
Joy and
gladness will
be
found in her, thanksgiving
and melodious
song.
For Jehovah
hath
comforted
Zion ,
He
hath
comforted
all her wastes,
And
He setteth
her wilderness as
Eden ,
And her desert as
a
garden of Jehovah,
Joy ,
yea,
gladness is
found in her, Confession,
and the
voice
of
song.
Pay
attention
to
Me, My people, and listen
to
Me
, My nation ;
for a law will
go
out
from Me, and My justice
will
become
a
light
to the nations;
I will
bring
it
about
quickly
.
Attend
unto
Me, O
My people, And, O
My nation ,
unto
Me
give
ear.
For a law from Me goeth
out
, And My judgment
to the light,
Peoples
I do
cause
to
rest
.
My righteousness draws
near
, My salvation is
on
the
way,
and My
arms will
bring
justice
to
the
nations.
The
islands
will
look
for
Me and
wait in
hope
for
My
arm.
Near
`is'
My righteousness, Gone
out
hath
My salvation and Mine
arms ,
Peoples
they
judge,
on
Me isles
do
wait ,
Yea,
on
Mine
arm they
do
wait
with
hope
.
Lift up your
eyes
to the heavens, and look at
the earth below;
for the heavens will
vanish
like
smoke, the earth will
wear
out
like
a garment, and its people
will
die
like
gnats .
But
My salvation will
last
forever
, and My righteousness will
never
fail
.
Lift ye
up to the heavens your
eyes
, And look attentively
unto
the earth beneath,
For the heavens as
smoke have
vanished
, And
the earth as
a garment weareth
out
, And its inhabitants
as
gnats do
die,
And
My salvation is
to
the
age
, And My righteousness is
not
broken
.
Listen
to
Me, you
who know what
is
right
, you
people with
My law in
your
hearts:
Do
not
fear the scorn
of men ;
do
not
be
broken
by
their insults.
Hearken
unto
Me, ye
who know righteousness
, A
people ,
in
whose
heart
`is'
My law ,
Fear ye
not
the reproach
of men ,
And
for
their reviling
be
not
affrighted,
For the
moth
will
devour
them
like
a garment, and the
worm
will
eat them like
wool.
But
My righteousness will
last
forever
, My salvation through
all generations. ”
For as
a garment eat
them
doth
a
moth
, And as
wool
eat them doth
a
worm,
And
My righteousness is
to
the
age
, And
My salvation to
all generations.
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the
LORD.
Wake
up
as in days past
, as
in
generations of old.
Was
it
not You
who
cut
Rahab to
pieces
, who
pierced
through
the
dragon ?
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah,
Awake,
as `
in '
days of
old
, generations of the
ages,
Art
not Thou
it
that
is
hewing
down
Rahab, Piercing
a
dragon !
Was
it
not You
who
dried
up the
sea, the
waters of the
great deep ,
who
made a
road
in
the
depths
of the
sea for the redeemed to
cross
over
?
Art
not Thou
it
that
is
drying
up a
sea, Waters of a
great deep ?
That
hath
made deep
places
of a
sea A
way
for the passing
of
the
redeemed?
So
the redeemed
of the
LORD
will
return
and enter
Zion with singing, crowned
with
everlasting
joy .
Gladness and joy will
overtake
them
, and
sorrow and sighing will
flee.
And
the ransomed
of Jehovah
turn
back,
And they
have
come
to
Zion with singing, And
joy age-during
`is'
on
their
head,
Gladness and joy they
attain
, Fled
away
have
sorrow and sighing ,
“
I ,
even
I ,
am He who comforts
you.
Why
should
you
be
afraid of mortal
man ,
of a
son of man who
withers
like
grass ?
I --
I `
am '
He --
your
comforter,
Who `art'
thou
--
and
thou
art
afraid of man ?
he
dieth!
And
of the
son of man --
grass he
is
made!
But
you
have
forgotten
the
LORD,
your
Maker, who stretched
out the heavens and laid
the
foundations
of
the
earth .
You
live
in
terror
all day long
because of the fury of the oppressor who
is
bent
on
destruction
. But
where is the fury of the oppressor?
And
thou
dost
forget
Jehovah
thy
maker, Who is
stretching
out the heavens ,
and founding
earth ,
And
thou
dost
fear
continually
all the
day ,
Because of the fury of the oppressor ,
As
he
hath
prepared
to
destroy
. And
where `
is '
the fury of the oppressor?
The
captive
will
soon
be freed;
he will
not die in
the dungeon
, and his bread will
not be
lacking.
Hastened
hath
a
wanderer
to
be loosed,
And
he doth
not die at
the pit
, And his bread is
not lacking.
For
I am the
LORD
your
God who
stirs
up
the sea so
that
its waves
roar —
the
LORD
of Hosts is His name.
And
I `
am '
Jehovah
thy
God ,
Quieting
the sea ,
when
its billows
roar ,
Jehovah
of Hosts `
is '
His name.
I have
put My words in your
mouth, and covered
you
with the shadow of My hand, to establish
the heavens, to found the
earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You
are
My people. ’”
And
I put My words in thy
mouth, And with the shadow of My hand have
covered
thee
, To plant
the heavens, and
to found earth, And to say to Zion, `
My people `art'
thou
. '
Awake
, awake!
Rise up
, O
Jerusalem, you
who have
drunk from the hand of the
LORD
the cup of His fury ;
you
who
have
drained
the goblet to
the
dregs—
the cup that
makes
men
stagger
.
Stir
thyself
, stir
thyself,
rise, Jerusalem, Who hast
drunk from the hand of Jehovah
The cup of His fury ,
The goblet ,
the cup of
trembling,
thou
hast
drunk,
Thou
hast
wrung
out
.
Among
all
the
sons
she
bore,
there is no
one
to guide
her ;
among
all the sons she brought
up
, there is no
one
to
take
her hand.
There is not
a
leader
to her Out
of
all the sons she hath
borne
, And
there is none
laying
hold
on
her hand Out
of
all
the
sons
she
hath
nourished
.
These pairs
have
befallen
you:
devastation
and destruction ,
famine and sword .
Who
will
grieve
for
you?
Who can
comfort you
?
These two
are
meeting
thee,
who
is
moved
for
thee?
Spoiling
and destruction --
Famine and sword ,
who --
I
comfort thee
?
Your
sons have fainted;
they lie
at the head of every
street
, like
an
antelope
in a net .
They are full of the wrath
of the
LORD
, the rebuke of your
God.
Thy
sons have been
wrapt
up,
they have
lain
down,
At the head of all
out
places
, as
a
wild
ox
`
in '
a net ,
They are full of the fury
of Jehovah
, The rebuke of Thy
God.
Therefore now
hear this, you
afflicted one,
drunken, but
not with wine .
Therefore ,
hear ,
I
pray
thee,
this, O
afflicted and
drunken one
, and
not with wine ,
Thus says
your
Lord,
the
LORD, even
your
God, who
defends
His people: “See
, I have removed
from
your
hand the cup of staggering.
From
that
goblet, the cup of My fury, you
will
never
drink again
.
Thus said
thy
Lord Jehovah
, and
thy
God, He
pleadeth
`for'
his people: `Lo
, I have taken
out
of
thy
hand the cup of trembling,
The
goblet, the cup of My fury, Thou
dost
not
add
to
drink it
any
more
.
I will
place
it in
the hands
of your
tormentors
, who told
you:
‘Lie
down, so
we can
walk
over you
, ’
so
that
you
made
your
back
like
the ground
, like
a
street to be
traversed.”
And
I have
put
it into
the hand
of those
afflicting
thee
, Who have
said
to
thy
soul,
Bow
down, and
we pass
over, And
thou
makest
as
the earth
thy
body
, And
as
the
street to those
passing
by!'
