Jesaja 45
Icelandic Bible
45 Svo segir Drottinn við sinn smurða, við Kýrus, sem ég held í hægri höndina á, til þess að leggja að velli þjóðir fyrir augliti hans og spretta belti af lendum konunganna, til þess að opna fyrir honum dyrnar og til þess að borgarhliðin verði eigi lokuð:
2 Ég mun ganga á undan þér og jafna hólana, ég mun brjóta eirhliðin og mölva járnslárnar.
3 Ég mun gefa þér hina huldu fjársjóðu og hina fólgnu dýrgripi, svo að þú kannist við, að það er ég, Drottinn, sem kalla þig með nafni þínu, ég Ísraels Guð.
4 Vegna þjóns míns Jakobs og vegna Ísraels, míns útvalda, kallaði ég þig með nafni þínu, nefndi þig sæmdarnafni, þó að þú þekktir mig ekki.
5 Ég er Drottinn og enginn annar. Enginn Guð er til nema ég. Ég hertygjaði þig, þó að þú þekktir mig ekki,
6 svo að menn skyldu kannast við það bæði í austri og vestri, að enginn er til nema ég. Ég er Drottinn og enginn annar.
7 Ég tilbý ljósið og framleiði myrkrið, ég veiti heill og veld óhamingju. Ég er Drottinn, sem gjöri allt þetta.
8 Drjúpið, þér himnar, að ofan, og láti skýin réttlæti niður streyma. Jörðin opnist og láti hjálpræði fram spretta og réttlæti blómgast jafnframt. Ég, Drottinn, kem því til vegar.
9 Vei þeim, sem þráttar við skapara sinn, sjálfur leirbrot innan um önnur leirbrot jarðar! Hvort má leirinn segja við leirmyndarann: "Hvað getur þú?" eða handaverk hans: "Hann hefir engar hendur."
10 Vei þeim, sem segir við föður sinn: "Hvað munt þú fá getið!" eða við konuna: "Hvað ætli þú getir fætt!"
11 Svo segir Drottinn, Hinn heilagi í Ísrael og sá er hann hefir myndað: Spyrjið mig um hið ókomna og felið mér að annast sonu mína og verk handa minna!
12 Ég hefi til búið jörðina og skapað mennina á henni. Mínar hendur hafa þanið út himininn og ég hefi kallað fram allan hans her.
13 Ég hefi vakið hann upp í réttlæti og ég mun greiða alla hans vegu. Hann skal byggja upp borg mína og gefa útlögum mínum heimfararleyfi, og það án endurgjalds og án fégjafa, _ segir Drottinn allsherjar.
14 Svo segir Drottinn: Auður Egyptalands og verslunargróði Blálands og Sebainga, hinna hávöxnu manna, skal ganga til þín og verða þín eign. Þeir skulu fylgja þér, í fjötrum skulu þeir koma, og þeir skulu falla fram fyrir þér og grátbæna þig og segja: "Guð er hjá þér einum, enginn annar er til, enginn annar guð."
15 Sannlega ert þú Guð, sem hylur þig, Ísraels Guð, frelsari.
16 Skurðgoðasmiðirnir verða sér til skammar, já, til háðungar allir saman, þeir ganga allir sneyptir.
17 En Ísrael frelsast fyrir Drottin eilífri frelsun. Þér skuluð eigi verða til skammar né háðungar að eilífu.
18 Já, svo segir Drottinn, sá er himininn hefir skapað _ hann einn er Guð, sá er jörðina hefir myndað og hana til búið, hann, sem hefir grundvallað hana og hefir eigi skapað hana til þess, að hún væri auðn, heldur myndað hana svo, að hún væri byggileg: Ég er Drottinn, og enginn annar.
19 Ég hefi ekki talað í leynum, einhvers staðar í landi myrkranna. Ég hefi eigi sagt við Jakobsniðja: "Leitið mín út í bláinn!" Ég, Drottinn, tala það sem rétt er og kunngjöri sannmæli.
20 Safnist saman og komið, nálægið yður, allir þér af þjóðunum, sem undan hafið komist: Skynlausir eru þeir, sem burðast með trélíkneski sitt og biðja til guðs, er eigi getur hjálpað.
21 Gjörið kunnugt og segið til! Já, ráðfæri þeir sig hver við annan! Hver hefir boðað þetta frá öndverðu og kunngjört það fyrir löngu? Hefi ég, Drottinn, ekki gjört það? Enginn Guð er til nema ég. Fyrir utan mig er enginn sannur Guð og hjálpari til.
22 Snúið yður til mín og látið frelsast, þér gjörvöll endimörk jarðarinnar, því að ég er Guð og enginn annar.
23 Ég hefi svarið við sjálfan mig, af munni mínum er sannleikur út genginn, orð, er eigi mun bregðast: Fyrir mér skal sérhvert kné beygja sig, sérhver tunga sverja mér trúnað.
24 "Hjá Drottni einum," mun um mig sagt verða, "er réttlæti og vald." Allir fjendur hans skulu til hans koma og blygðast sín.
25 Allir Ísraelsniðjar skulu réttlætast fyrir Drottin og miklast af honum.
Isaiah 45
New International Version
Isaiah 45
New International Version
45 “This is what the Lord says to his anointed,(A)
to Cyrus,(B) whose right hand I take hold(C) of
to subdue nations(D) before him
and to strip kings of their armor,
to open doors before him
so that gates will not be shut:
2 I will go before you(E)
and will level(F) the mountains[a];
I will break down gates(G) of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.(H)
3 I will give you hidden treasures,(I)
riches stored in secret places,(J)
so that you may know(K) that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.(L)
4 For the sake of Jacob my servant,(M)
of Israel my chosen,
I summon you by name
and bestow on you a title of honor,
though you do not acknowledge(N) me.
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;(O)
apart from me there is no God.(P)
I will strengthen you,(Q)
though you have not acknowledged me,
6 so that from the rising of the sun
to the place of its setting(R)
people may know(S) there is none besides me.(T)
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 I form the light and create darkness,(U)
I bring prosperity and create disaster;(V)
I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 “You heavens above, rain(W) down my righteousness;(X)
let the clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open wide,
let salvation(Y) spring up,
let righteousness flourish with it;
I, the Lord, have created it.
9 “Woe to those who quarrel(Z) with their Maker,(AA)
those who are nothing but potsherds(AB)
among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,(AC)
‘What are you making?’(AD)
Does your work say,
‘The potter has no hands’?(AE)
10 Woe to the one who says to a father,
‘What have you begotten?’
or to a mother,
‘What have you brought to birth?’
11 “This is what the Lord says—
the Holy One(AF) of Israel, and its Maker:(AG)
Concerning things to come,
do you question me about my children,
or give me orders about the work of my hands?(AH)
12 It is I who made the earth(AI)
and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;(AJ)
I marshaled their starry hosts.(AK)
13 I will raise up Cyrus[b](AL) in my righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.(AM)
He will rebuild my city(AN)
and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,(AO)
says the Lord Almighty.”
14 This is what the Lord says:
“The products(AP) of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,[c]
and those tall Sabeans(AQ)—
they will come over to you(AR)
and will be yours;
they will trudge behind you,(AS)
coming over to you in chains.(AT)
They will bow down before you
and plead(AU) with you, saying,
‘Surely God is with you,(AV) and there is no other;
there is no other god.(AW)’”
15 Truly you are a God who has been hiding(AX) himself,
the God and Savior(AY) of Israel.
16 All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced;(AZ)
they will go off into disgrace together.
17 But Israel will be saved(BA) by the Lord
with an everlasting salvation;(BB)
you will never be put to shame or disgraced,(BC)
to ages everlasting.
18 For this is what the Lord says—
he who created the heavens,
he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth,(BD)
he founded it;
he did not create it to be empty,(BE)
but formed it to be inhabited(BF)—
he says:
“I am the Lord,
and there is no other.(BG)
19 I have not spoken in secret,(BH)
from somewhere in a land of darkness;(BI)
I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,(BJ)
‘Seek(BK) me in vain.’
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
I declare what is right.(BL)
20 “Gather together(BM) and come;
assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant(BN) are those who carry(BO) about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.(BP)
21 Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold(BQ) this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?(BR)
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no God apart from me,(BS)
a righteous God(BT) and a Savior;(BU)
there is none but me.
22 “Turn(BV) to me and be saved,(BW)
all you ends of the earth;(BX)
for I am God, and there is no other.(BY)
23 By myself I have sworn,(BZ)
my mouth has uttered in all integrity(CA)
a word that will not be revoked:(CB)
Before me every knee will bow;(CC)
by me every tongue will swear.(CD)
24 They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone
are deliverance(CE) and strength.(CF)’”
All who have raged against him
will come to him and be put to shame.(CG)
25 But all the descendants(CH) of Israel
will find deliverance(CI) in the Lord
and will make their boast in him.(CJ)

King James Version
45 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;
2 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:
3 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.
4 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.
5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 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.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
8 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.
9 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?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 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.
19 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.
20 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.
21 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.
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 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.
24 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.
25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
