Isaiah 51 – Studienbibel

1 Hearken8085 to me, ye that follow after7291 righteousness6664, ye that seek1245 the LORD3068: look5027 unto the rock6697 whence ye are hewn2672, and to the hole4718 of the pit953 whence ye are digged5365. 2 Look5027 unto Abraham85 your father1, and unto Sarah8283 that bare2342 you: for I called7121 him alone259, and blessed1288 him, and increased7235 him. 3 For the LORD3068 shall comfort5162 Zion6726: he will comfort5162 all her waste places2723; and he will make7760 her wilderness4057 like Eden5731, and her desert6160 like the garden1588 of the LORD3068; joy8342 and gladness8057 shall be found4672 therein, thanksgiving8426, and the voice6963 of melody2172.

4 Hearken7181 unto me, my people5971; and give ear238 unto me, O my nation3816: for a law8451 shall proceed3318 from me, and I will make my judgment4941 to rest7280 for a light216 of the people5971. 5 My righteousness6664 is near7138; my salvation3468 is gone forth3318, and mine arms2220 shall judge8199 the people5971; the isles339 shall wait6960 upon me, and on mine arm2220 shall they trust3176. 6 Lift up5375 your eyes5869 to the heavens8064, and look5027 upon the earth776 beneath: for the heavens8064 shall vanish away4414 like smoke6227, and the earth776 shall wax old1086 like a garment899, and they that dwell3427 therein shall die4191 in like3644 manner3654: but my salvation3444 shall be for ever5769, and my righteousness6666 shall not be abolished2865. 7 Hearken8085 unto me, ye that know3045 righteousness6664, the people5971 in whose heart3820 is my law8451; fear3372 ye not the reproach2781 of men582, neither be ye afraid2865 of their revilings1421. 8 For the moth6211 shall eat them up398 like a garment899, and the worm5580 shall eat398 them like wool6785: but my righteousness6666 shall be for ever5769, and my salvation3444 from generation1755 to generation1755.

9 Awake5782, awake5782, put on3847 strength5797, O arm2220 of the LORD3068; awake5782, as in the ancient6924 days3117, in the generations1755 of old5769. Art thou not it that hath cut2672 Rahab7294, and wounded2490 the dragon8577? 10 Art thou not it which hath dried2717 the sea3220, the waters4325 of the great7227 deep8415; that hath made7760 the depths4615 of the sea3220 a way1870 for the ransomed1350 to pass over5674? 11 Therefore the redeemed6299 of the LORD3068 shall return7725, and come935 with singing7440 unto Zion6726; and everlasting5769 joy8057 shall be upon their head7218: they shall obtain5381 gladness8342 and joy8057; and sorrow3015 and mourning585 shall flee away5127. 12 I, even I, am he that comforteth5162 you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid3372 of a man582 that shall die4191, and of the son1121 of man120 which shall be made5414 as grass2682; 13 And forgettest7911 the LORD3068 thy maker6213, that hath stretched forth5186 the heavens8064, and laid the foundations3245 of the earth776; and hast feared6342 continually8548 every day3117 because6440 of the fury2534 of the oppressor6693, as if834 he were ready3559 to destroy7843? and where is the fury2534 of the oppressor6693?¹ 14 The captive exile6808 hasteneth4116 that he may be loosed6605, and that he should not die4191 in the pit7845, nor that his bread3899 should fail2637. 15 But I am the LORD3068 thy God430, that divided7280 the sea3220, whose waves1530 roared1993: The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name8034. 16 And I have put7760 my words1697 in thy mouth6310, and I have covered3680 thee in the shadow6738 of mine hand3027, that I may plant5193 the heavens8064, and lay the foundations3245 of the earth776, and say559 unto Zion6726, Thou art my people5971.

17 Awake5782, awake5782, stand up6965, O Jerusalem3389, which hast drunk8354 at the hand3027 of the LORD3068 the cup3563 of his fury2534; thou hast drunken8354 the dregs6907 of the cup3563 of trembling8653, and wrung them out4680. 18 There is none to guide5095 her among all the sons1121 whom she hath brought forth3205; neither is there any that taketh2388 her by the hand3027 of all the sons1121 that she hath brought up1431. 19 These two8147 things are come7122 unto thee; who shall be sorry5110 for thee? desolation7701, and destruction7667, and the famine7458, and the sword2719: by whom shall I comfort5162 thee?²³ 20 Thy sons1121 have fainted5968, they lie7901 at the head7218 of all the streets2351, as a wild bull8377 in a net4364: they are full4392 of the fury2534 of the LORD3068, the rebuke1606 of thy God430. 21 Therefore hear8085 now this, thou afflicted6041, and drunken7937, but not with wine3196: 22 Thus saith559 thy Lord113 the LORD3068, and thy God430 that pleadeth7378 the cause of his people5971, Behold, I have taken out3947 of thine hand3027 the cup3563 of trembling8653, even the dregs6907 of the cup3563 of my fury2534; thou shalt no more3254 drink it again8354: 23 But I will put7760 it into the hand3027 of them that afflict3013 thee; which have said559 to thy soul5315, Bow down7812, that we may go over5674: and thou hast laid7760 thy body1460 as the ground776, and as the street2351, to them that went over5674.
