Yasha'Yahu (Isaiah) — 42
YAHUAH’s Chosen Servant
1 “Look at my servant, whom I strengthen, he is my chosen one, who pleases me, I have put my RUACH upon him, he will bring justice to the nations.
2 He will not shout or raise his voice in public.
3 He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle, he will bring justice to all who have been wronged.
4 He will not falter or lose heart until justice prevails throughout the Arath, Even distant lands beyond the sea will wait for his instruction.”
5 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, created the Shamaym and stretched them out, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH created the Arath and everything in it, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gives breath to everyone and life to everyone who walks the Arath, and it is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH who says,
6 “I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH who have called you to demonstrate my righteousness, I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the other nations,
7 You will open the eyes of the blind, you will free the captives from prison, releasing those who sit in dark dungeons.
8 “I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH; that is my Name! I will not give my Kabad (Esteem) to anyone else, nor share my Yadah (Praise) with carved idols.
9 Everything I prophesied has come true, and now I will prophesy again, I will tell you the future before it happens.”
A Song of Yadah to YAHUAH
10 Sing a new song to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH! Sing His Yadah from the ends of the Arath! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands.
11 Join in the chorus, you desert towns; let the villages of Kadar rejoice! Let the people of Sala sing for joy; shout Yadah from the mountaintops!
12 Let the whole world Yadah 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH; let the Arath sing Yadah to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
13 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will march forth like a mighty hero; and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will come out like a warrior, full of fury, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will shout His battle cry and crush all His enemies.
14 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will say, “I have long been silent; yes, I have restrained myself, But now, like a woman in labor, I will cry and groan and pant.
15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills, And dry up all their vegetation; I will make the rivers Coast lands, and I will dry up the pools.
16 I will lead blind Yashar'AL down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way, I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them, Yes I will indeed do these things; I will not forsake them.
17 But those who trust in idols, who say, ‘idols are their mighty ones,’ will be turned away in shame.
Yashar'AL’s Failure to Listen and See
18 “Listen, you who are deaf! Look and see, you blind!
19 Who is as blind as my own people, my servant? Who is as deaf as my messenger?Who is as blind as my chosen people, the servant of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH?
20 You see and recognize what is right but refuse to act on it, you hear with your ears, but you do not really listen.”
21 Because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is righteous, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has exalted His Esteemed law.
22 But His own people have been robbed and plundered, enslaved, imprisoned, and trapped, they are fair game for anyone and have no one to protect them, no one to take them back home.
23 Who will hear these lessons from the past and see the ruin that awaits you in the future?
24 Who allowed Yashar'AL to be robbed and hurt? It was 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, against whom we sinned, for the people would not walk in the path of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, nor would they obey the commandments of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
25 Therefore, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH poured out His fury on them and destroyed them in battle, they were enveloped in flames, but they still refused to understand, they were consumed by fire, but they did not learn their lesson.
