Isaías 45

1 Yahweh says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:

2 "I will go before you

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness

4 For Jacob my servant’s sake,

5 I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.

6 that they may know from the rising of the sun,

7 I form the light

8 Rain, you heavens, from above,

9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker—

10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’

11 Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel

12 I have made the earth, and created man on it.

13 I have raised him up in righteousness,

14 Yahweh says: "The labor of Egypt,

15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself,

16 They will be disappointed,

17 Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation.

18 For Yahweh who created the heavens,

19 I have not spoken in secret,

20 "Assemble yourselves and come.

21 Declare and present it.

22 "Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth;

23 I have sworn by myself.

24 They will say of me,

25 All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh,
