Yasha'Yahu (Isaiah) — 45

Cyrus, YAHUAH’s Instrument

1 “Thus says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him, and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut:

2 ‘I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Who called you by your name,  I Am the 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH of Yashar'AL.

4 For Ya'aqub My servant’s sake, and Yashar'AL My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me.

5 I Am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and there is no other; There is no 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH besides Me, I will gird you, though you have not known Me,

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me, I Am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and there is no other;

7 I form the light and create darkness, I make Shalum and create calamity; I, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, do all these things.’

8 “Rain down, you Shamaym, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the Arath open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together, I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, I have created it.

9 “Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the pots herd strive with the pots herds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?

10 Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What are you begetting?’ or to the woman, ‘What have you brought forth?’ ”

11 Thus says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, The Qadash One of Yashar'AL, and his Maker: “Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; and concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.

12 I have made the Arath, and created man on it, My hands stretched out the Shamaym, and all their host I have commanded.

13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways; he shall build My city and let My people in exiles go free, not for price or reward,” Says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut.

YAHUAH, the Only Savior

14 Thus says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH: “The labor of Mitzraym and merchandise of Cush and of the Sabeans, men of stature, Shall come over to you, and they shall be yours; they shall walk behind you, they shall come over in chains; and they shall bow down to you, they will make supplication to you, saying, ‘Surely 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH is in you, and there is no other; There is no other 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH.’ ”

15 Truly You are 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH who hide Yourself, O 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH of Yashar'AL, the Savior!

16 They shall be ashamed and also disgraced, all of them; they shall go in confusion together, Who are makers of idols.

17 But Yashar'AL shall be saved by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH With an everlasting salvation; You shall not be ashamed or dishonor Forever and ever.

18 For thus says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Who created the Shamaym, I Am  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH the 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH Who formed the Arath and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited:“ I Am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and there is no other.

19 I have not spoken in secret, In a dark place of the Arath; I did not say to the seed of Ya'aqub, ‘Seek Me in vain’; I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

20 “Assemble yourselves and come; Draw near together, You who have escaped from the nations, they have no knowledge, Who carry the wood of their carved image, and pray to a idol that cannot save.

21 Tell and bring forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together, Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH? And there is no other 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH besides Me, a just 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH and a Savior; There is none besides Me.

22 “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the Arath! For I am 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, and there is no other.

23 I have sworn by Myself; The Dabar has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall take an oath.

24 The people will declare, “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is the source of all their righteousness and strength.” and all who were angry with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will come to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and be ashamed.

25 In 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH all the generations of Yashar'AL will be justified, and in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH they will boast.
