Yasha'Yahu (Isaiah) — 51

A Call to Trust YAHUAH

1 “Listen to me, all who hope for deliverance, all who seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH! Consider the rock from which you were cut, the quarry from which you were mined.

2 Yes, think about Abraham, your father, and Sarah, who gave birth to your nation, Abraham was only one man when I called him. But when I baraked him, he became a great nation.”

3 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will comfort Yashar'AL again and have pity on her ruins, Her desert will blossom like Adan, her barren wilderness like the garden of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, Joy and gladness will be found there, Songs of thanksgiving will fill the air.

4 “Listen to me, my people, Hear me Yashar'AL, for my law will be proclaimed, and my justice will become a light to the nations.

5 My mercy and justice are coming soon, My salvation is on the way, My strong arm will bring justice to the nations, All distant lands will look to me and wait in hope for my powerful arm.

6 Look up to the skies above, and gaze down on the Arath below, for the skies will disappear like smoke, and the Arath will wear out like a piece of clothing, the people of the Arath will die like flies, but my salvation lasts forever, My righteous rule will never end!

7 This is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar, Listen to me, you who know right from wrong, you who cherish my law in your hearts, Do not be afraid of people’s scorn, nor fear their insults.

8 For the moth will devour them as it devours clothing, The worm will eat at them as it eats wool, but my righteousness will last forever, My salvation will continue from generation to generation.”

9 Wake up, wake up, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH! Clothe yourself with strength! Flex your mighty right arm! Rouse yourself as in the days of old when you slew Mitzraym, the dragon of the Nile.

10 Are you not the same today, the one who dried up the sea, making a path of escape through the depths so that your people could cross over?

11 Those who have been ransomed by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will return, They will enter Yahushalam singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Sorrow and mourning will disappear, and they will be filled with joy and gladness.

12 “Yes, I am the one who comforts you, So why are you afraid of mere man, who wither like the grass and disappear?

13 Yet you have forgotten 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, your Creator, the one who stretched out the sky like a canopy and laid the foundations of the Arath, will you remain in constant dread of man's oppressors? Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies? Where is their fury and anger now? It is gone!

14 Soon all you captives will be released!    Imprisonment, starvation, and death will not be your fate!

15 For I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH  your 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar, My Name is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut.

16 And I have put my Dabar in your mouth and hidden you safely in my hand, I stretched out the sky like a canopy and laid the foundations of the Arath, I Am the One who says to Yashar'AL, ‘You are my people!’”

17 Wake up, wake up, O Yahushalam! You have drunk in the cup of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s fury, you have drunk in the cup of terror, tipping out its last drops.

18 Not one of your children is left alive to take your hand and guide you.

19 These two calamities have fallen on you: desolation and destruction, famine and war, and who is left to sympathize with you? who is left to comfort you?

20 For your children have fainted and lie in the streets, helpless as antelopes caught in a net, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has poured out his fury; their 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH has rebuked them.

21 But now listen to this, you afflicted ones who sit in a drunken stupor, though not from drinking wine.

22 This is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, your 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH and Defender Dabar: See, I have taken the terrible cup from your hands. You will drink no more of my fury.

23 Instead, I will hand that cup to your tormentors, those who said, ‘We will trample you into the dust and walk on your backs.’”
