Isaia 48
Albanian Bible
48 Dëgjoni këtë, o shtëpi e Jakobit, ju që ju thërrasin me emrin e Izraelit dhe që keni dalë nga burimet e Judës, ju që betoheni për emrin e Zotit dhe që përmendni Perëndinë e Izraelit, por jo me të vërtetë dhe me drejtësi.
2 Duke qenë se quhen me emrin e qytetit të shenjtë dhe mbështeten mbi Perëndinë e Izraelit, emri i të cilit është Zoti i ushtrive;
3 "Unë i shpalla gjërat e kaluara që në fillim; kishin dalë nga goja ime dhe kisha bërë që t’i dëgjonin; pastaj veprova papritmas dhe ato ndodhën.
4 Sepse e dija që ishe kokëfortë, që qafa jote ishte një brez i hekurt dhe balli yt prej bronzi,
5 t’i kam njoftuar që në fillim, bëra që t’i dëgjosh para se të ndodhnin, që të mos kishe për të thënë: "I ka bërë idhulli im, i ka urdhëruar shëmbëlltyra ime e gdhendur dhe shëmbëlltyra ime e shkrirë".
6 Ti e ke dëgjuar dhe e ke parë tërë këtë gjë. A nuk do ta shpallni? Që tani bëj që të dëgjosh gjëra të reja, gjëra të fshehta që ti nuk i njihje.
7 Ato janë krijuar tashti dhe jo që në fillim; para ditës së sotme nuk i kishe dëgjuar dhe kështu nuk mund të thuash: "Ja, unë i dija".
8 Jo, ti as nuk i ke dëgjuar as nuk i ke ditur, as veshi yt nuk ishte i hapur atëherë, sepse e dija që ti do të veproje me pabesi dhe që do të quheshe "rebel" që në bark të nënës.
9 Për hir të emrit tim do ta shtyj për më vonë zemërimin tim, dhe për hir të lavdisë sime do ta frenoj që të mos të të shfaros.
10 Ja, unë të kam rafinuar, por jo si argjendi; të kam provuar në poçen e pikëllimit.
11 Për hir të vetvetes, për hir të vetvetes e bëj këtë; si mund të lë, pra, që të përdhoset emri im? Nuk do t’ia jap lavdinë time asnjë tjetri".
12 "Dëgjomë, o Jakob, dhe Izrael, që unë kam thirrur. Unë jam ai që është; unë jam i pari dhe jam i fundit gjithashtu.
13 Dora ime ka themeluar tokën dhe dora ime e djathtë ka shpalosur qiejtë; kur unë i thërras, paraqiten bashkë.
14 Mblidhuni, ju të gjithë, dhe dëgjoni! Kush prej tyre ka shpallur këto gjëra? Ai që Zoti dashuron do të kryejë vullnetin e tij kundër Babilonisë dhe do të ngrerë krahun e tij kundër Kaldeasve.
15 Unë, unë i fola, po, unë e thirra, e bëra të vijë dhe do të bëj që veprimi i tij të shkojë mbarë.
16 Afrohuni tek unë, dëgjoni këtë: "Qysh në fillim nuk fola në fshehtësi; kur këto fakte ndodhnin, unë isha atje. Dhe tani Zoti, Zoti, dhe Fryma e tij më kanë dërguar"".
17 Kështu thotë Zoti, Çliruesi yt, i Shenjti i Izraelit: "Unë jam Zoti, Perëndia yt, që të mëson për të mirën tënde, që të udhëheq nëpër rrugën që duhet të ndjekësh.
18 Ah, sikur t’u kishe kushtuar kujdes urdhërimeve të mia! Paqja jote do të ishte si një lumë dhe drejtësia jote si valët e detit.
19 Trashëgimia jote do të ishte si rëra dhe ata që kanë lindur nga të përbrëndëshmet e tua do të ishin të pallogaritshëm si kokrrizat e saj; emri i tij nuk do të fshihej as do të shkatërrohej para meje".
20 Dilni nga Babilonia, ikni nga Kaldeasit! Me një zë të gëzuar kumtojeni, shpalleni këtë gjë, përhapeni deri në skajet e tokës. Thoni: "Zoti ka çliruar shërbëtorin e tij Jakob".
21 Ata nuk patën etje kur i çoi nëpër shkretëtirë. Ai bëri që të burojë për ta ujë nga shkëmbi; e çau shkëmbin dhe dolën ujërat.
22 "Nuk ka paqe për të pabesët," thotë Zoti.
Isaiah 48
King James Version
Isaiah 48
King James Version
48 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The Lord of hosts is his name.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The Lord hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22 There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.

My Glory I Will Not Give to Another
48 “(A)Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name Israel
And who came forth from the [a](B)loins of Judah,
Who (C)swear by the name of Yahweh
And bring to remembrance the God of Israel,
But not in truth or in (D)righteousness.
2 For they call themselves after the (E)holy city
And (F)are supported by the God of Israel;
Yahweh of hosts is His name.
3 I (G)declared the former things long ago,
And they went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to be heard.
(H)Suddenly I acted, and they (I)came to pass.
4 Because I know that you are [b](J)stiff,
And your (K)neck is an iron sinew
And your (L)forehead bronze,
5 Therefore I declared them to you long ago,
Before [c]they happened I caused them to be heard by you,
Lest you say, ‘My (M)idol has done them,
And my graven image and my molten image have commanded them.’
6 You have heard; look at all this.
And you, will you not declare it?
I caused you to hear (N)new things from this time,
Even hidden things which you have not known.
7 They are created now and not long ago;
And before today you have not heard them,
Lest you say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
8 Indeed, you have not (O)heard; indeed, you have not known.
Indeed, even from long ago your ear has not been open
Because I knew that you would deal very treacherously;
And you have been called a [d](P)transgressor from the [e]womb.
9 (Q)For the sake of My name I (R)delay My anger,
And for My praise I restrain it for you,
In order not to cut you off.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but (S)not as silver;
I have tested you in the (T)furnace of affliction.
11 (U)For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act;
For how can My name be profaned?
And My (V)glory I will not give to another.
Yahweh Redeems Jacob
12 “Hear Me, O Jacob, even Israel [f]whom I called;
(W)I am He, (X)I am the first, I am also the last.
13 Also, My hand (Y)founded the earth,
And My right hand spread out the heavens;
When I (Z)call to them, they stand together.
14 (AA)Assemble, all of you, and hear!
(AB)Who among them has declared these things?
Yahweh loves him; he will (AC)carry out His good pleasure on (AD)Babylon,
And His arm will be against the Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken; indeed I have (AE)called him,
I have brought him, and He will make his ways successful.
16 (AF)Draw near to Me, hear this:
From the first I have (AG)not spoken in secret,
(AH)From the time it took place, I was there.
So now (AI)Lord Yahweh has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
17 Thus says Yahweh, your (AJ)Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
“I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit,
Who (AK)leads you in the way you should go.
18 If only you had (AL)paid attention to My commandments!
Then your (AM)peace would have been like a river,
And your (AN)righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Your (AO)seed would have been like the sand,
And the offspring from your loins like its grains;
(AP)Their name would never be cut off or destroyed from My presence.”
20 (AQ)Go forth from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans!
Declare with the sound of (AR)joyful shouting, cause this to be heard,
(AS)Bring it forth to the end of the earth;
Say, “(AT)Yahweh has redeemed His servant Jacob.”
21 And they did not (AU)thirst when He led them through the waste places.
He (AV)made the water flow out of the rock for them;
He split the rock, and (AW)the water gushed forth.
22 “(AX)There is no peace for the wicked,” says Yahweh.

Stubborn Israel
48 “Listen to this, you descendants of Jacob,
you who are called by the name of Israel(A)
and come from the line of Judah,(B)
you who take oaths(C) in the name of the Lord(D)
and invoke(E) the God of Israel—
but not in truth(F) or righteousness—
2 you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city(G)
and claim to rely(H) on the God of Israel—
the Lord Almighty is his name:(I)
3 I foretold the former things(J) long ago,
my mouth announced(K) them and I made them known;
then suddenly(L) I acted, and they came to pass.
4 For I knew how stubborn(M) you were;
your neck muscles(N) were iron,
your forehead(O) was bronze.
5 Therefore I told you these things long ago;
before they happened I announced(P) them to you
so that you could not say,
‘My images brought them about;(Q)
my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
“From now on I will tell you of new things,(R)
of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created(S) now, and not long ago;(T)
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew(U) of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(V)
from of old your ears(W) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(X) you are;
you were called a rebel(Y) from birth.
9 For my own name’s sake(Z) I delay my wrath;(AA)
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to destroy you completely.(AB)
10 See, I have refined(AC) you, though not as silver;
I have tested(AD) you in the furnace(AE) of affliction.
11 For my own sake,(AF) for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?(AG)
I will not yield my glory to another.(AH)
Israel Freed
12 “Listen(AI) to me, Jacob,
Israel, whom I have called:(AJ)
I am he;(AK)
I am the first and I am the last.(AL)
13 My own hand laid the foundations of the earth,(AM)
and my right hand spread out the heavens;(AN)
when I summon them,
they all stand up together.(AO)
14 “Come together,(AP) all of you, and listen:
Which of the idols has foretold(AQ) these things?
The Lord’s chosen ally(AR)
will carry out his purpose(AS) against Babylon;(AT)
his arm will be against the Babylonians.[a]
15 I, even I, have spoken;
yes, I have called(AU) him.
I will bring him,
and he will succeed(AV) in his mission.
16 “Come near(AW) me and listen(AX) to this:
“From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret;(AY)
at the time it happens, I am there.”
17 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer,(BC) the Holy One(BD) of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches(BE) you what is best for you,
who directs(BF) you in the way(BG) you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention(BH) to my commands,
your peace(BI) would have been like a river,(BJ)
your well-being(BK) like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants(BL) would have been like the sand,(BM)
your children like its numberless grains;(BN)
their name would never be blotted out(BO)
nor destroyed from before me.”
20 Leave Babylon,
flee(BP) from the Babylonians!
Announce this with shouts of joy(BQ)
and proclaim it.
Send it out to the ends of the earth;(BR)
say, “The Lord has redeemed(BS) his servant Jacob.”
21 They did not thirst(BT) when he led them through the deserts;
he made water flow(BU) for them from the rock;
he split the rock
and water gushed out.(BV)
