| 49 1 | Listen to me. O coastlands, and hearken, you peoples from afar. The Yahweh called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name. | Israel - a light to the nations. Is.49.1-7 | שִׁמְעוּ אִיִּים אֵלַי וְהַקְשִׁיבוּ לְאֻמִּים מֵרָחֹוק יְהוָה מִבֶּטֶן קְרָאָנִי מִמְּעֵי אִמִּי הִזְכִּיר שְׁמִי׃ |
| 2 | He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away. | וַיָּשֶׂם פִּי כְּחֶרֶב חַדָּה בְּצֵל יָדֹו הֶחְבִּיאָנִי וַיְשִׂימֵנִי לְחֵץ בָּרוּר בְּאַשְׁפָּתֹו הִסְתִּירָנִי׃ | |
| 3 | And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified." | וַיֹּאמֶר לִי עַבְדִּי־אָתָּה יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר־בְּךָ אֶתְפָּאָר׃ | |
| 4 | But I said, "I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my right is with Yahweh, and my recompense with my God." | וַאֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי לְרִיק יָגַעְתִּי לְתֹהוּ וְהֶבֶל כֹּחִי כִלֵּיתִי אָכֵן מִשְׁפָּטִי אֶת־יְהוָה וּפְעֻלָּתִי אֶת־אֱלֹהָי׃ | |
| 5 | And now Yahweh says, who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honoured in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God has become my strength - | וְעַתָּה אָמַר יְהוָה יֹצְרִי מִבֶּטֶן לְעֶבֶד לֹו לְשֹׁובֵב יַעֲקֹב אֵלָיו וְיִשְׂרָאֵל כ= לֹא ק= לֹו יֵאָסֵף וְאֶכָּבֵד בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וֵאלֹהַי הָיָה עֻזִּי׃ | |
| 6 | 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 give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." | וַיֹּאמֶר נָקֵל מִהְיֹותְךָ לִי עֶבֶד לְהָקִים אֶת־שִׁבְטֵי יַעֲקֹב כ= וּנְצִירֵי ק= וּנְצוּרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהָשִׁיב וּנְתַתִּיךָ לְאֹור גֹּויִם לִהְיֹות יְשׁוּעָתִי עַד־קְצֵה הָאָרֶץ׃ ס | |
| 7 | Thus says Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall prostrate themselves; because of Yahweh, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you." | כֹּה אָמַר־יְהוָה גֹּאֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל קְדֹושֹׁו לִבְזֹה־נֶפֶשׁ לִמְתָעֵב גֹּוי לְעֶבֶד מֹשְׁלִים מְלָכִים יִרְאוּ וָקָמוּ שָׂרִים וְיִשְׁתַּחֲוּוּ לְמַעַן יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר נֶאֱמָן קְדֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּבְחָרֶךָּ׃ | |
