1 Shamai (hearken / hear), ayayam (islands), to me; and listen, you laamayam (peoples), from rachawaq (far): Yahawah () has qaraa (called) me from the batan (womb); from the maiy (bowels) of my am (mother) has he zakar (remember) mention of my sham (name):
2 And he has shawam (place / establish / appoint) my pah (mouth) like a chad (sharp) charab (sword); in the tzal (shadow) of his yad (hand), he has chabaa (hidden) me: and he has shawam (place / establish / appoint) me a barar (polished) chatz (shaft); in his ashapah (quiver) has he sathar (kept) me close:
3 And he amar (said) to me, “You are my ibad (servant); Yashar-Al (Israel), in whom I will be paar (glorified).”
4 But I amar (spoke), “I have labored in rayaq (vain), I kalah (complete / finish) spent my kach (strength / mighty / power) for thahaw (formless) and habal (vanity); yet akan (surely) the mashapat (justice) due to me is with Yahawah (), and my pailah (reward) with my Alahayam ().”
5 Now amar (spoke) Yahawah () who yatzar (formed) me from the batan (womb) to be his ibad (servant), to shawab (turn back / repent) Yaiqab (Jacob) again to him, and that Yashar-Al (Israel) be asap (gathered) to him (for I am honorable in the iyanay (eyes) of Yahawah, and my Alahayam has become my iz (strength / might / refuge));
6 Yes, he amar (said), “It is too qalal (light) a thing that you should be my ibad (servant) to qawam (rise up) up the shabatay (tribes) of Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch), and to shawab (turn) the natzayar (preserved) of Yashar-Al (Israel): I will also nathan (give) you for a awar (light) to the gawayam (heathen), that you may be my yashawaih (salvation) to the qatzah (end / extremity / border) of the aratz (Earth/land).”
7 Thus amar (spoke) Yahawah (), the gaal (redeemer) of Yashar-Al (Israel), and his qadawash (holy) One, to him whom napash (soul) bazah (despises), to him whom the gaway (heathen / nation) thaib (abhors), to a ibad (servant) of mashalayam (rulers): “malakayam (kings) shall raah (see) and qawam (rise up); sharayam (princes), and they shall shachah (worship); because of Yahawah () who is aman (believe / have faith), even the qadawash (holy) One of Yashar-Al (Israel), who has bachar (chosen) you.”
8 “Thus amar (spoke) Yahawah (), In an ratzawan (acceptable) ith (time) have I inah (answer / respond) you, and in a yawam (day) of yashawaih (salvation) have I izar (helped) you; and I will natzar (preserve) you, and nathan (give) you for a barayath (covenant) of the im (nation / people), to qawam (rise up) up the aratz (Earth/land), to nachal (make) them inherit the shamam (desolate) nachalah (heritage):
9 Amar (said) to those who are asar (bound), ‘yatzaa (go out / come out) out!’; to those who are in chashak (darkness), ‘Show yourselves!’ “They shall raih (feed) in the darakayam (ways), and on all bare heights shall be their maraiyath (pasture).
10 They shall not raib (hunger) nor tzamaa (thirst); neither shall the sharab (heat) nor shamash (sun) nakah (strike) them: for he who has racham (show mercy / love) on them will nahag (lead) them, even by mabawaiy (springs) of mayam (Waters) he will nahal (guide) them.
11 I will shawam (place / establish / appoint) all my har (mountain) a darak (way), and my masalah (highways) shall be rawam (will lift up).
12 Behold, these shall bawaa (bring) from rachawaq (far); and behold, these from the tzapawan (north) and from the yam (sea/waters); and these from the aratz (Earth/land) of Sayanayam (Sinim).”
13 Ranan (sing), shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens); and be gayal (joyful), aratz (Earth/land); and patzach (break) forth into ranah (singing), harayam (mountains): for Yahawah () has nacham (turn away / repent) his im (nation / people), and will racham (show mercy / love) compassion on his inay (afflicted).
14 But Tzayawan (Zion) amar (spoke), “Yahawah () has forsaken me, and the Adawan () has shakach (forgotten) me.”
15 “Can a ayashah (woman / wife) shakach (forget) her nursing iwal (child), that she should not racham (show mercy / love) compassion on the ban (son) of her batan (womb)? Yes, these may shakach (forget), yet I will not shakach (forget) you!
16 Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my kapayam (hands); your chawamah (walls) are continually before me.
17 Your ban (son) mahar (make) haste; your destroyers and those who charab (made) you waste shall yatzaa (go out / come out) forth from you.
18 Nashaa (lift) up your iyan (eye) all around, and raah (see): all these qabatz (gather) themselves together, and bawaa (come) to you. As I chay (life),” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah (), “you shall surely labash (clothe) yourself with them all as with an iday (ornament / adornment), and dress yourself with them, like a kalah (complete / finish).
19 “For, as for your charabah (waste) and your shamam (desolate) places, and your aratz (Earth/land) that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the yashab (inhabit/dwell), and those who balai (swallowed) you up shall be rachaq (far) away.
20 The banay (my son) of your bereavement shall yet amar (said) in your azan (ear), ‘The maqawam (place) is too tzar (oppressor / distressor) for me; nagash (give) maqawam (place) to me that I may yashab (inhabit/dwell).’
21 Then you will amar (said) in your labab (heart), ‘Who has conceived these for me, since I have been shakal (bereaved) of my children, and am galamawad (solitary), an galah (exile), and wandering sawar (back) and forth? Who has gadal (brought) up these? Behold, I was shaar (left) alone; these, ayapah (where) were they?’”
22 Thus amar (spoke) the Adanay () Yahawah (), “Behold, I will nashaa (lift) up my yad (hand) to the gawayam (nations), and rawam (will lift up) up my nas (banner) to the imayam (peoples); and they shall bawaa (come) your ban (son) in their bosom, and your banath (daughter) shall be nashaa (lift) on their kathap (shoulders).
23 Malakayam (kings) shall be your aman (believe / have faith) fathers, and their sharah (queens) your yanaq (nursing) mothers: they shall shachah (bow) down to you with their apayam (faces) to the aratz (Earth/land), and lachak (lick) the ipar (dust) of your ragal (feet / foot); and you shall yadai (know) that I am Yahawah (); and those who qawah (gather/wait) for me shall not be disappointed.”
24 Shall the malaqawach (prey) be laqach (take / seize) from the gabawar (mighty), or the tzadayaq (righteous) shabay (captives) be malat (delivered)?
25 But thus amar (spoke) Yahawah (), “Even the shabay (captives) of the gabawar (mighty) shall be laqach (take / seize) away, and the malaqawach (prey) of the irayatz (terrible) shall be malat (delivered); for I will rayab (contend) with him who rayab (contends) with you, and I will yashai (salvation) your ban (son).
26 I will akal (eat) those who yanah (oppress) you with their own bashar (flesh); and they shall be shakar (drunken) with their own dam (blood), as with sweet isayas (wine): and all bashar (flesh) shall yadai (know) that I, Yahawah (), am your Savior, and your gaal (redeemer), the abayar (mighty) One of Yaiqab (Jacob).”
