Isaiah 45 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Isa 45:1

Isa 45:1Thus said Jehovah, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Yea, loins of kings I loose, To open before him two-leaved doors, Yea, gates are not shut:

Isa 45:2

Isa 45:2'I go before thee, and crooked places make straight, Two-leaved doors of brass I shiver, And bars of iron I cut asunder,

Isa 45:3

Isa 45:3And have given to thee treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that thou knowest that I, Jehovah, Who am calling on thy name -- am the God of Israel.

Isa 45:4

Isa 45:4For the sake of my servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I call also thee by thy name, I surname thee, And thou hast not known Me.

Isa 45:5

Isa 45:5I am Jehovah, and there is none else, Except Me there is no God, I gird thee, and thou hast not known Me.

Isa 45:6

Isa 45:6So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I am Jehovah, and there is none else,

Isa 45:7Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and preparing evil, I am Jehovah, doing all these things.'

Isa 45:14

Isa 45:14Thus said Jehovah, 'The labour of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim -- men of measure, Unto thee pass over, and thine they are, After thee they go, in fetters they pass over, And unto thee they bow themselves, Unto thee they pray: Only in thee is God, And there is none else, no other God.

Isa 45:15

Isa 45:15Surely Thou art a God hiding Thyself, God of Israel -- Saviour!

Isa 45:20Be gathered, and come in, Come nigh together, ye escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their graven image, And praying unto a god that saveth not.

Isa 45:21

Isa 45:21Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time hath declared it? Is it not I -- Jehovah? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save Me.
