Isaiah 50 – KJV & NASV

King James Version

Isaiah 50:1-11

1Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. 2Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. 3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

4The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

5¶ The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. 6I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

7¶ For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. 8He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.50.8 mine…: Heb. the master of my cause? 9Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

10¶ Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. 11Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

ኢሳይያስ 50:1-11

የእስራኤል ኀጢአትና የእግዚአብሔር ባሪያ ታዛዥነት

1እግዚአብሔር እንዲህ ይላል፤

“እናታችሁን የፈታሁበት

የፍቺ ወረቀት የት አለ?

ወይስ እናንተን የሸጥኋችሁ

ለየትኛው አበዳሪዬ ነው?

እነሆ፤ ስለ ኀጢአታችሁ ተሸጣችኋል፤

ስለ መተላለፋችሁም እናታችሁ ተፈትታለች።

2በመጣሁ ጊዜ ለምን በዚያ ሰው አልነበረም?

በተጣራሁስ ጊዜ የሚመልስ ሰው እንዴት በዚያ ታጣ?

ስለ እናንተ ወጆ ለመክፈል ክንዴ ዐጥራ ነበርን?

እናንተንስ ለማዳን ኀይል አነሰኝን?

እነሆ፤ በተግሣጼ ባሕሩን አደርቃለሁ፤

ወንዞችን ምድረ በዳ አደርጋለሁ፤

ዓሦቻቸው ውሃ በማጣት ይሸታሉ፤

በጥማትም ይሞታሉ።

3ሰማይን ጨለማ አለብሰዋለሁ፤

ማቅን መሸፈኛው አደርጋለሁ።”

4ልዑል እግዚአብሔር የተባ አንደበት ሰጥቶኛል፤

ስለዚህ ደካሞችን ብርቱ ለማድረግ ምን ማለት እንዳለብኝ ዐውቃለሁ፤

በየማለዳው ያነቃኛል፤

በመማር ላይ እንዳለ ተማሪ ለመስማት ጆሮዬን ያነቃዋል።

5ልዑል እግዚአብሔር ጆሮዬን ከፍቶታል፤

እኔም ዐመፀኛ አይደለሁም፤

ወደ ኋላም አላፈገፈግሁም።

6ለሚገርፉኝ ጀርባዬን፣

ጢሜን ለሚነጩ ጕንጬን ሰጠሁ፤

ፊቴን ከውርደት፣

ከጥፋትም አልሰወርሁም።

7ጌታ እግዚአብሔር ስለሚረዳኝ አልዋረድም፤

ስለዚህ ፊቴን እንደ ባልጩት ድንጋይ

አድርጌአለሁ፤

እንደማላፍርም ዐውቃለሁ።

8ንጹሕ መሆኔን የሚያረጋግጥልኝ በአጠገቤ አለ፤

ታዲያ ማን ሊከስሰኝ ይችላል?

እስቲ ፊት ለፊት እንጋጠም!

ተቃዋሚዬስ ማን ነው?

እስቲ ይምጣ!

9የሚረዳኝ እርሱ ጌታ እግዚአብሔር ነው፤

የሚፈርድብኝስ ማን ነው?

እነሆ፤ ሁሉም እንደ ልብስ ያረጃሉ፤

ብልም ይበላቸዋል።

10ከእናንተ እግዚአብሔርን የሚፈራ፣

የባሪያውንም ቃል የሚሰማ ማን ነው?

ያ ሰው በጨለማ የሚሄድ ከሆነና፣

ብርሃንም ከሌለው፣

በእግዚአብሔር ስም ይታመን፤

በአምላኩም ይደገፍ።

11አሁን ግን እናንተ እሳት አንድዳችሁ፣

የራሳችሁን የሚንቦገቦግ ችቦ የያዛችሁ ሁሉ፣

በሉ በእሳታችሁ ብርሃን ሂዱ፤

ባንቦገቦጋችሁትም የችቦ ብርሃን ተመላለሱ።

እንግዲህ ከእጄ የምትቀበሉት ይህ ነው፤

በሥቃይም ትጋደማላችሁ።
