Isaiah 50
New International Version
Isaiah 50
New International Version
Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience
50 This is what the Lord says:
“Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce(A)
with which I sent her away?
Or to which of my creditors
did I sell(B) you?
Because of your sins(C) you were sold;(D)
because of your transgressions your mother was sent away.
2 When I came, why was there no one?
When I called, why was there no one to answer?(E)
Was my arm too short(F) to deliver you?
Do I lack the strength(G) to rescue you?
By a mere rebuke(H) I dry up the sea,(I)
I turn rivers into a desert;(J)
their fish rot for lack of water
and die of thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with darkness(K)
and make sackcloth(L) its covering.”
4 The Sovereign Lord(M) has given me a well-instructed tongue,(N)
to know the word that sustains the weary.(O)
He wakens me morning by morning,(P)
wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.(Q)
5 The Sovereign Lord(R) has opened my ears;(S)
I have not been rebellious,(T)
I have not turned away.
6 I offered my back to those who beat(U) me,
my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;(V)
I did not hide my face
from mocking and spitting.(W)
7 Because the Sovereign Lord(X) helps(Y) me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,(Z)
and I know I will not be put to shame.(AA)
8 He who vindicates(AB) me is near.(AC)
Who then will bring charges against me?(AD)
Let us face each other!(AE)
Who is my accuser?
Let him confront me!
9 It is the Sovereign Lord(AF) who helps(AG) me.
Who will condemn(AH) me?
They will all wear out like a garment;
the moths(AI) will eat them up.
10 Who among you fears(AJ) the Lord
and obeys(AK) the word of his servant?(AL)
Let the one who walks in the dark,
who has no light,(AM)
trust(AN) in the name of the Lord
and rely on their God.
11 But now, all you who light fires
and provide yourselves with flaming torches,(AO)
go, walk in the light of your fires(AP)
and of the torches you have set ablaze.
This is what you shall receive from my hand:(AQ)
You will lie down in torment.(AR)

Israels synd och Herrens lydige tjänare
50 Så säger Herren:
”Var är skilsmässobrevet,
genom vilket jag försköt er mor?
Eller till vilken av mina fordringsägare
fick jag sälja er?
Nej, ni såldes för era synders skull,
och er mor försköts för era överträdelser.
2 Varför var ingen där när jag kom?
Varför svarade ingen när jag ropade?
Är min arm för kort för att befria er?
Har jag inte makt att hjälpa?
Jag kan befalla havet och det torkar ut,
och förvandla floderna till öken.
Fisken ruttnar av brist på vatten
och dör av törst.
3 Jag klär himlen i mörker
och höljer den i sorgdräkt.”
4 Herren, Herren har gett mig lärdomens ord
så att jag vet hur jag ska stödja den trötte.
Varje morgon väcker han mig
till att lyssna på lärjungavis.
5 Herren, Herren har fått mig att lyssna,
och jag har inte varit upprorisk,
jag har inte vänt mig bort.
6 Jag böjde min rygg mot dem som slog mig
och vände ansiktet mot dem som ryckte mig i skägget.
Jag gömde inte mitt ansikte
för hån och spott.
7 Därför att Herren, Herren hjälper mig,
känner jag mig inte förödmjukad.
Jag har gjort mitt ansikte hårt som flinta,
och jag vet att jag inte kommer att bli sviken.
8 Han som rättfärdiggör mig är nära.
Vem kan gå till rätta med mig?
Låt oss mötas!
Vem är min motpart?
Låt honom träda fram!
9 Herren, Herren hjälper mig.
Vem kan döma mig?
De ska alla slitas ut som klädesplagg,
som malätna kläder.
10 Vem bland er fruktar Herren
och lyder hans tjänare?
Om någon vandrar i mörker utan någon strimma av ljus,
låt då denne lita på Herren
och förtrösta på sin Gud!
11 Men ni, som gör upp eld
och förser er med brinnande pilar,
gå genom lågorna av er egen eld
och era brinnande pilar!
Detta är vad min hand ska ge er,
och ni kommer att ligga i plågor.

50 Adonai says:
“Where is your mother’s divorce document
which I gave her when I divorced her?
Or: to which of my creditors
did I sell you?
You were sold because of your sins;
because of your crimes was your mother divorced.
2 Why was no one here when I came?
Why, when I called, did nobody answer?
Is my arm too short to redeem?
Have I too little power to save?
With my rebuke I dry up the sea;
I turn rivers into desert,
their fish rot for lack of water
and they die of thirst;
3 I dress the heavens in black to mourn
and make their covering sackcloth.”
4 Adonai Elohim has given me
the ability to speak as a man well taught,
so that I, with my words,
know how to sustain the weary.
Each morning he awakens my ear
to hear like those who are taught.
5 Adonai Elohim has opened my ear,
and I neither rebelled nor turned away.
6 I offered my back to those who struck me,
my cheeks to those who plucked out my beard;
I did not hide my face
from insult and spitting.
7 For Adonai Elohim will help.
This is why no insult can wound me.
This is why I have set my face like flint,
knowing I will not be put to shame.
8 My vindicator is close by;
let whoever dares to accuse me
appear with me in court!
Let whoever has a case against me step forward!
9 Look, if Adonai Elohim helps me,
who will dare to condemn me?
Here, they are all falling apart
like old, moth-eaten clothes.
10 Who among you fears Adonai?
Who obeys what his servant says?
Even when he walks in the dark,
without any light,
he will trust in Adonai’s reputation
and rely on his God.
11 But all of you who are lighting fires
and arming yourselves with firebrands:
go, walk in the flame of your own fire,
among the firebrands you lit!
From my hands this [fate] awaits you:
you will lie down in torment.
