וַיֹּאמֶר נָקֵל מִֽהְיוֹתְךָ לִי עֶבֶד לְהָקִים אֶת-שִׁבְטֵי יַעֲקֹב (ונצירי) וּנְצוּרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהָשִׁיב וּנְתַתִּיךָ לְאוֹר גּוֹיִם לִֽהְיוֹת יְשׁוּעָתִי עַד-קְצֵה הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
אֲנִי יְהוָה קְרָאתִיךָֽ בְצֶדֶק וְאַחְזֵק בְּיָדֶךָ וְאֶצָּרְךָ וְאֶתֶּנְךָ לִבְרִית עָם לְאוֹר גּוֹיִֽם׃
I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου Ἰσραήλ
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
פְּנוּ-אֵלַי וְהִוָּשְׁעוּ כָּל-אַפְסֵי-אָרֶץ כִּי אֲנִי-אֵל וְאֵין עֽוֹד׃
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עֹד אֲשֶׁר יָבֹאוּ עַמִּים וְיֹשְׁבֵי עָרִים רַבּֽוֹת׃
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
וְֽהָיָה מִסְפַּר בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּחוֹל הַיָּם אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יִמַּד וְלֹא יִסָּפֵר וְֽהָיָה בִּמְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר-יֵאָמֵר לָהֶם לֹֽא-עַמִּי אַתֶּם יֵאָמֵר לָהֶם בְּנֵי אֵֽל-חָֽי׃
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
חָשַׂף יְהוָה אֶת-זְרוֹעַ קָדְשׁוֹ לְעֵינֵי כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם וְרָאוּ כָּל-אַפְסֵי-אָרֶץ אֵת יְשׁוּעַת אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
הָרִֽאשֹׁנוֹת הִנֵּה-בָאוּ וַֽחֲדָשׁוֹת אֲנִי מַגִּיד בְּטֶרֶם תִּצְמַחְנָה אַשְׁמִיע אֶתְכֶֽם׃
Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
כִּי כֹה יִהְיֶה בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ בְּתוֹךְ הָֽעַמִּים כְּנֹקֶף זַיִת כְּעוֹלֵלֹת אִם-כָּלָה בָצִֽיר׃
When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
הוֹדִיעַ יְהוָה יְשׁוּעָתוֹ לְעֵינֵי הַגּוֹיִם גִּלָּה צִדְקָתֽוֹ׃
The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
וְֽהָלְכוּ גּוֹיִם רַבִּים וְאָֽמְרוּ לְכוּ׀ וְנַעֲלֶה אֶל-הַר-יְהוָה וְאֶל-בֵּית אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹרֵנוּ מִדְּרָכָיו וְנֵלְכָה בְּאֹֽרְחֹתָיו כִּי מִצִּיּוֹן תֵּצֵא תוֹרָה וּדְבַר-יְהוָה מִירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
הֵן עַבְדִּי אֶתְמָךְ-בּוֹ בְּחִירִי רָצְתָה נַפְשִׁי נָתַתִּי רוּחִי עָלָיו מִשְׁפָּט לַגּוֹיִם יוֹצִֽיא׃
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
הַֽלְלוּ אֶת-יְהוָה כָּל-גּוֹיִם שַׁבְּחוּהוּ כָּל-הָאֻמִּֽים׃
O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר חָזָה יְשַֽׁעְיָהוּ בֶּן-אָמוֹץ עַל-יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
יִֽפְרַח-בְּיָמָיו צַדִּיק וְרֹב שָׁלוֹם עַד-בְּלִי יָרֵֽחַ׃
In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
εἰ παθητὸς ὁ Χριστός εἰ πρῶτος ἐξ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν φῶς μέλλει καταγγέλλειν τῷ λαῷ καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν
That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
וְנִלְווּ גוֹיִם רַבִּים אֶל-יְהוָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וְהָיוּ לִי לְעָם וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְתוֹכֵךְ וְיָדַעַתְּ כִּי-יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁלָחַנִי אֵלָֽיִךְ׃
And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
ἐξαιρούμενός σε ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν εἰς οὓς νῦν σε ἀποστέλλω
Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
καὶ εἶπεν πρός με Πορεύου ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰς ἔθνη μακρὰν ἐξαποστελῶ σε
And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
לְמַעַן יִֽירְשׁוּ אֶת-שְׁאֵרִית אֱדוֹם וְכָל-הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר-נִקְרָא שְׁמִי עֲלֵיהֶם נְאֻם-יְהוָה עֹשֶׂה זֹּֽאת׃
That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.
