Isaiah 45 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh says 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:
[2] “I will go before you and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces and cut apart the bars of iron.
[3] I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.
[4] For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though you have not known me.
[5] I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me,
[6] that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
[7] I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
[8] Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Yahweh, have created it.
[9] 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’?
[10] Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
[11] Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
[12] I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.
[13] I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.
[14] Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.
[15] Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”
[16] They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
[17] Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
[18] For 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 says: “I am Yahweh. There is no other.
[19] I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
[20] “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.
[21] 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.
[22] “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
[23] I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
[24] They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
[25] All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh, and will rejoice!

Isaiah 45 (KJVS)

[1] 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. ()

Isaiah 45 (BYZ)

[1] ουτως λεγει κυριος ο θεος τω χριστω μου κυρω ου εκρατησα της δεξιας επακουσαι εμπροσθεν αυτου εθνη και ισχυν βασιλεων διαρρηξω ανοιξω εμπροσθεν αυτου θυρας και πολεις ου συγκλεισθησονται
[2] εγω εμπροσθεν σου πορευσομαι και ορη ομαλιω θυρας χαλκας συντριψω και μοχλους σιδηρους συγκλασω
[3] και δωσω σοι θησαυρους σκοτεινους αποκρυφους αορατους ανοιξω σοι ινα γνως οτι εγω κυριος ο θεος ο καλων το ονομα σου θεος ισραηλ
[4] ενεκεν ιακωβ του παιδος μου και ισραηλ του εκλεκτου μου εγω καλεσω σε τω ονοματι σου και προσδεξομαι σε συ δε ουκ εγνως με
[5] οτι εγω κυριος ο θεος και ουκ εστιν ετι πλην εμου θεος και ουκ ηδεις με
[6] ινα γνωσιν οι απο ανατολων ηλιου και οι απο δυσμων οτι ουκ εστιν πλην εμου εγω κυριος ο θεος και ουκ εστιν ετι
[7] εγω ο κατασκευασας φως και ποιησας σκοτος ο ποιων ειρηνην και κτιζων κακα εγω κυριος ο θεος ο ποιων ταυτα παντα
[8] ευφρανθητω ο ουρανος ανωθεν και αι νεφελαι ρανατωσαν δικαιοσυνην ανατειλατω η γη ελεος και δικαιοσυνην ανατειλατω αμα εγω ειμι κυριος ο κτισας σε
[9] ποιον βελτιον κατεσκευασα ως πηλον κεραμεως μη ο αροτριων αροτριασει την γην ολην την ημεραν μη ερει ο πηλος τω κεραμει τι ποιεις οτι ουκ εργαζη ουδε εχεις χειρας
[10] ο λεγων τω πατρι τι γεννησεις και τη μητρι τι ωδινησεις
[11] οτι ουτως λεγει κυριος ο θεος ο αγιος ισραηλ ο ποιησας τα επερχομενα ερωτησατε με περι των υιων μου και περι των θυγατερων μου και περι των εργων των χειρων μου εντειλασθε μοι
[12] εγω εποιησα γην και ανθρωπον επ αυτης εγω τη χειρι μου εστερεωσα τον ουρανον εγω πασι τοις αστροις ενετειλαμην
[13] εγω ηγειρα αυτον μετα δικαιοσυνης βασιλεα και πασαι αι οδοι αυτου ευθειαι ουτος οικοδομησει την πολιν μου και την αιχμαλωσιαν του λαου μου επιστρεψει ου μετα λυτρων ουδε μετα δωρων ειπεν κυριος σαβαωθ
[14] ουτως λεγει κυριος σαβαωθ εκοπιασεν αιγυπτος και εμπορια αιθιοπων και οι σεβωιν ανδρες υψηλοι επι σε διαβησονται και σοι εσονται δουλοι και οπισω σου ακολουθησουσιν δεδεμενοι χειροπεδαις και προσκυνησουσιν σοι και εν σοι προσευξονται οτι εν σοι ο θεος εστιν και ερουσιν ουκ εστιν θεος πλην σου
[15] συ γαρ ει θεος και ουκ ηδειμεν ο θεος του ισραηλ σωτηρ
[16] αισχυνθησονται και εντραπησονται παντες οι αντικειμενοι αυτω και πορευσονται εν αισχυνη εγκαινιζεσθε προς με νησοι
[17] ισραηλ σωζεται υπο κυριου σωτηριαν αιωνιον ουκ αισχυνθησονται ουδε μη εντραπωσιν εως του αιωνος
[18] ουτως λεγει κυριος ο ποιησας τον ουρανον ουτος ο θεος ο καταδειξας την γην και ποιησας αυτην αυτος διωρισεν αυτην ουκ εις κενον εποιησεν αυτην αλλα κατοικεισθαι εγω ειμι και ουκ εστιν ετι
[19] ουκ εν κρυφη λελαληκα ουδε εν τοπω γης σκοτεινω ουκ ειπα τω σπερματι ιακωβ ματαιον ζητησατε εγω ειμι εγω ειμι κυριος λαλων δικαιοσυνην και αναγγελλων αληθειαν
[20] συναχθητε και ηκετε βουλευσασθε αμα οι σωζομενοι απο των εθνων ουκ εγνωσαν οι αιροντες το ξυλον γλυμμα αυτων και προσευχομενοι ως προς θεους οι ου σωζουσιν
[21] ει αναγγελουσιν εγγισατωσαν ινα γνωσιν αμα τις ακουστα εποιησεν ταυτα απ αρχης τοτε ανηγγελη υμιν εγω ο θεος και ουκ εστιν αλλος πλην εμου δικαιος και σωτηρ ουκ εστιν παρεξ εμου

[23] κατ εμαυτου ομνυω η μην εξελευσεται εκ του στοματος μου δικαιοσυνη οι λογοι μου ουκ αποστραφησονται οτι εμοι καμψει παν γονυ και εξομολογησεται πασα γλωσσα τω θεω
[24] λεγων δικαιοσυνη και δοξα προς αυτον ηξουσιν και αισχυνθησονται παντες οι αφοριζοντες εαυτους
[25] απο κυριου δικαιωθησονται και εν τω θεω ενδοξασθησονται παν το σπερμα των υιων ισραηλ
