| Isaiah 45 Text (WEB)
|
- Thus says Yahweh to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their armor; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
- "I will go before you, and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of brass in pieces, and cut apart the bars of iron.
- I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who call you by your name, even the God of Israel.
- For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
- I am Yahweh, and there is none else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me;
- that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
- I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
- Distil, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Yahweh, have created it.
- Woe to him who strives with his Maker-- a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, 'What are you making?' or your work, 'He has no hands?'
- Woe to him who says to a father, 'What have you become the father of?' or to a mother, 'To what have you given birth?'"
- Thus says Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
- I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and I have commanded all their army.
- I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward," says Yahweh of Armies.
- Thus says Yahweh: "The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains; and they will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: 'Surely God is in you; and there is none else. There is no other god.
- Most certainly you are a God who hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.'"
- They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
- Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
- For thus says Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn't create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited: "I am Yahweh; and there is no other.
- I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn't say to the seed of Jacob, 'Seek me in vain.' I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
- "Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can't save.
- Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven't I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; There is no one besides me.
- "Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
- I have sworn by myself, the word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
- They will say of me, 'There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.'" Even to him shall men come; and all those who were incensed against him shall be disappointed.
- In Yahweh shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

- כה־אמר יהוה למשיחו לכורש אשר־החזקתי בימינו לרד־לפניו גוים ומתני מלכים אפתח לפתח לפניו דלתים ושערים לא יסגרו׃
- אני לפניך אלך והדורים דלתות נחושה אשבר ובריחי ברזל אגדע׃
- ונתתי לך אוצרות חשך ומטמני מסתרים למען תדע כי־אני יהוה הקורא בשמך אלהי ישראל׃
- למען עבדי יעקב וישראל בחירי ואקרא לך בשמך אכנך ולא ידעתני׃
- אני יהוה ואין עוד זולתי אין אלהים אאזרך ולא ידעתני׃
- למען ידעו ממזרח־שמש וממערבה כי־אפס בלעדי אני יהוה ואין עוד׃
- יוצר אור ובורא חשך עשה שלום ובורא רע אני יהוה עשה כל־אלה׃ ס
- הרעיפו שמים ממעל ושחקים יזלו־צדק תפתח־ארץ ויפרו־ישע וצדקה תצמיח יחד אני יהוה בראתיו׃ ס
- הוי רב את־יצרו חרש את־חרשי אדמה היאמר חמר ליצרו מה־תעשה ופעלך אין־ידים לו׃ ס
- הוי אמר לאב מה־תוליד ולאשה מה־תחילין׃ ס
- כה־אמר יהוה קדוש ישראל ויצרו האתיות שאלוני על־בני ועל־פעל ידי תצוני׃
- אנכי עשיתי ארץ ואדם עליה בראתי אני ידי נטו שמים וכל־צבאם צויתי׃
- אנכי העירתהו בצדק וכל־דרכיו אישר הוא־יבנה עירי וגלותי ישלח לא במחיר ולא בשחד אמר יהוה צבאות׃ ף
- כה אמר יהוה יגיע מצרים וסחר־כוש וסבאים אנשי מדה עליך יעברו ולך יהיו אחריך ילכו בזקים יעברו ואליך ישתחוו אליך יתפללו אך בך אל ואין עוד אפס אלהים׃
- אכן אתה אל מסתתר אלהי ישראל מושיע׃
- בושו וגם־נכלמו כלם יחדו הלכו בכלמה חרשי צירים׃
- ישראל נושע ביהוה תשועת עולמים לא־תבשו ולא־תכלמו עד־עולמי עד׃ ף
- כי כה אמר־יהוה בורא השמים הוא האלהים יצר הארץ ועשה הוא כוננה לא־תהו בראה לשבת יצרה אני יהוה ואין עוד׃
- לא בסתר דברתי במקום ארץ חשך לא אמרתי לזרע יעקב תהו בקשוני אני יהוה דבר צדק מגיד מישרים׃
- הקבצו ובאו התנגשו יחדו פליטי הגוים לא ידעו הנשאים את־עץ פסלם ומתפללים אל־אל לא יושיע׃
- הגידו והגישו אף יועצו יחדו מי השמיע זאת מקדם מאז הגידה הלוא אני יהוה ואין־עוד אלהים מבלעדי אל־צדיק ומושיע אין זולתי׃
- פנו־אלי והושעו כל־אפסי־ארץ כי אני־אל ואין עוד׃
- בי נשבעתי יצא מפי צדקה דבר ולא ישוב כי־לי תכרע כל־ברך תשבע כל־לשון׃
- אך ביהוה לי אמר צדקות ועז עדיו יבוא ויבשו כל הנחרים בו׃
- ביהוה יצדקו ויתהללו כל־זרע ישראל׃

| Isaiah 45 Text (Latin)
|
- Hæc dicit Dominus christo meo Cyro, cujus apprehendi dexteram, ut subjiciam ante faciem ejus gentes, et dorsa regum vertam, et aperiam coram eo januas, et portæ non claudentur :
- ego ante te ibo, et gloriosos terræ humiliabo ; portas æreas conteram, et vectes ferreos confringam ;
- et dabo tibi thesauros absconditos, et arcana secretorum, ut scias quia ego Dominus, qui voco nomen tuum, Deus Israël,
- propter servum meum Jacob, et Israël, electum meum ; et vocavi te nomine tuo : assimilavi te, et non cognovisti me.
- Ego Dominus, et non est amplius ; extra me non est Deus ; accinxi te, et non cognovisti me ;
- ut sciant hi qui ab ortu solis et qui ab occidente, quoniam absque me non est : ego Dominus, et non est alter ;
- formans lucem et creans tenebras, faciens pacem et creans malum : ego Dominus faciens omnia hæc.
- Rorate, cæli, desuper, et nubes pluant justum ; aperiatur terra, et germinet Salvatorem, et justitia oriatur simul : ego Dominus creavi eum.
- Væ qui contradicit fictori suo, testa de samiis terræ ! Numquid dicet lutum figulo suo : Quid facis, et opus tuum absque manibus est ?
- Væ qui dicit patri : Quid generas ? et mulieri : Quid parturis ?
- Hæc dicit Dominus, Sanctus Israël, plastes ejus : Ventura interrogate me ; super filios meos et super opus manuum mearum mandate mihi.
- Ego feci terram, et hominem super eam creavi ego : manus meæ tetenderunt cælos, et omni militiæ eorum mandavi.
- Ego suscitavi eum ad justitiam, et omnes vias ejus dirigam ; ipse ædificabit civitatem meam, et captivitatem meam dimittet, non in pretio neque in muneribus, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.
- Hæc dicit Dominus : Labor Ægypti, et negotiatio Æthiopiæ, et Sabaim viri sublimes ad te transibunt, et tui erunt ; post te ambulabunt, vincti manicis pergent, et te adorabunt, teque deprecabuntur. Tantum in te est Deus, et non est absque te Deus.
- Vere tu es Deus absconditus, Deus Israël, salvator.
- Confusi sunt, et erubuerunt omnes, simul abierunt in confusionem fabricatores errorum.
- Israël salvatus est in Domino salute æterna ; non confundemini, et non erubescetis usque in sæculum sæculi.
- Quia hæc dicit Dominus creans cælos, ipse Deus formans terram et faciens eam, ipse plastes ejus ; non in vanum creavit eam, ut habitaretur formavit eam : Ego Dominus, et non est alius.
- Non in abscondito locutus sum, in loco terræ tenebroso ; non dixi semini Jacob frustra : Quærite me ; ego Dominus loquens justitiam, annuntians recta.
- Congregamini, et venite, et accedite simul qui salvati estis ex gentibus : nescierunt qui levant lignum sculpturæ suæ, et rogant deum non salvantem.
- Annuntiate, et venite, et consiliamini simul. Quis auditum fecit hoc ab initio, ex tunc prædixit illud ? Numquid non ego Dominus, et non est ultra Deus absque me ? Deus justus, et salvans non est præter me.
- Convertimini ad me, et salvi eritis, omnes fines terræ, quia ego Deus, et non est alius.
- In memetipso juravi ; egredietur de ore meo justitiæ verbum, et non revertetur :
- Ergo in Domino, dicet, meæ sunt justitiæ et imperium ; ad eum venient, et confundentur omnes qui repugnant ei.
- In Domino justificabitur, et laudabitur omne semen Israël.

| Isaiah 45 Text (KJV)
|
- Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
- I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
- And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
- For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
- I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
- That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
- I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
- Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
- Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
- Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
- Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
- I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
- I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
- Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
- Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
- They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
- But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
- For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
- I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
- Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
- Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
- Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
- I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
- Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
- In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
