49 listen Oh _islands to_me and_pay _attention Oh _peoples from_a _distance YHWH from_the_womb he_called _me from_the_inward _parts _of my _mother _of_of he _has _brought _to _remembrance name _of_my.
2 And_he/it _assigned mouth _of_my like_a _sword sharp in_the _shadow _of his/its_hand he_hid _me and_he_made _me (into)_an_arrow polished in_his _of_quiver he_concealed _me.
3 And_he/it _said to_me servant _of_are_my you Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) whom by_you I _will _get _glory _for _myself.
4 And_I I _said to_emptiness I _have _laboured to_nothingness and_Abel strength _of_my I _have _caused _to _fail nevertheless justice _of_my is_with YHWH and_my _of_wage[s] is_with god _of_my.
5 And_now YHWH he _says who_formed _of_me from_the_womb (into)_a_servant to_him/it to_ Yaˊₐqoⱱ _bring _back to_him/it and_Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) wwww[fn] it _will _be _gathered and_I _will _be _honoured in/on_both _eyes _of YHWH and_my _of_god he _has _been strength _of_my.
6 And_he/it _said it _is_too_trifling for_your_being to_me servant to_raise _up DOM the _tribes _of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) and_the _preserved_ones_of[fn] of _Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) to_bring _back and_I_will _make _you (into)_a_light _of the_nations to_be salvation _of_my to the _end _of the_earth/land.
7 thus he _says YHWH of _Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) the _redeemer _of its _holy _of_one to_despise life to_ (of)_a _nation _one _who_abhors _of to_a _servant _of kings rulers they _will _see and_ princes _they _will _stand _up and_they _will _bow _down[fn] on _account _of YHWH who is_reliable the _holy_one_of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) and_he_has _chosen _you.
8 Thus YHWH he _says in_a _time _of favour I_will _answer _you and_on_a _day _of salvation I_will _help _you and_I_will _watch _over _you and_I_will _make _you (into)_a_covenant _of the_people to_raise _up the_land to_give _as _inheritance inheritances desolate.
9 To_say to_the _prisoners come _out to_those_who are_in_darkness reveal _yourselves on roads they _will _graze and_on/over_all bare _heights pasture _of_their.
10 Not they _will _be _hungry and_not they _will _be _thirsty and_not it_will _strike _them burning _heat and_sun if/because one _of_who_has _compassion _on _them he_will _guide _them and_to springs _of water he_will _lead _them.
11 And_I _will _make all _of mountains _of_my into_road and_my _of_highways they_will _be _lifted _up.
12 Here these from_a _distance they _will _come and_see/lo/see these from_the_north and_from_the_west and_these from_the _land _of Sinim.
13 Shout _for _joy Oh _heaven and_be _glad Oh _earth wwww[fn] Oh _mountains a _shout _of _joy if/because YHWH he _has _comforted people _of_his and_his _afflicted _of_people he _has _compassion _on.
14 and_ Tsiyyōn/(Zion) _she/it _said he_has _abandoned _me YHWH and_the_of_master he_has _forgotten _me.
15 Will_she _forget a _woman child _of_her _sucking from_having _compassion _on the _child _of her _womb _of_of also these they _will _forget and_I not I_will _forget _you.
16 Here on palms I_have _inscribed _you walls _of_your are_before_me continually.
17 children _of_your They _have _made _haste those _of_who_tear _you _down and_those _of_who_make _you _desolate from_you they _will _go _out.
18 Lift _up all _around eyes _of_your and_see of _them _of_all they _have _gathered _together they _have _come to/for_you(fs) by_the _life of _me the _utterance _of YHWH if/because of _them _of_all like_ornament[s] you _will _put _on and_you_will _tie _them _on like_bride.
19 If/because places _of_your _waste and_your(pl)_desolate _of_places and_the _land _of your _destruction _of_of if/because now you _will _be_too_cramped for_the_inhabitant[s] and_they _will _be _far _away those _of_who_swallowed _you _up.
20 Yet they _will _say in_your _two’s _of_ears the _children _of your(pl)_bereavement(s)_of_of it _is _cramped to_me the_place draw_near to/for_me so_that _I _may _dwell.
21 And_you _will _say in_your _of_heart who did _he _father to_me DOM these_children and_I was_bereaved and_barren I_was_gone _into _exile and_thrust _away and_these who did _he _bring _up here I I _remained I_alone these_children where are_they.
22 thus my_master he _says YHWH here I _will _lift _up to the_nations hand _of_my and_near/to peoples I _will _raise standard _of_my and_they _will _bring sons _of_your in_the_bosom and_your(pl)_of_daughters on a _shoulder they _will _be _carried.
23 And_they _will _be kings your(pl)_of_foster-fathers and_their _noble _of_ladies nurses _of_your _wet faces ground they _will _bow _down to/for_you(fs) and_the _dust _of your _two’s _feet _of_of they _will _lick _up and_you _will _know if/because _that I am_YHWH whom not they _will _be _ashamed those _of_who_wait _for _me.
24 will_it _be _taken from_a _warrior booty and_if the_captive[s] the_righteous will _it _escape.
25 If/because thus YHWH he _says also a _captive _of a _warrior he _will _be _taken and_the_booty a _ruthless_person it _will _be _delivered and_DOM opponent _of_your I I _will _oppose and_DOM children _of_your I I _will _save.
26 And_I _will _cause _to _eat DOM those _of_who_maltreat _you DOM flesh _of_their _own and_like _(the)_wine blood _of_their _own they_will _become _drunk and_ all _of _they _will _know flesh if/because _that I am_YHWH deliverer _of_your and_your _of_redeemer the _mighty _one _of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob).
