Ê-sai 49
Kinh Thánh Bản Truyền Thống ⇄ NET Bible
Listen to me, you coastlands! Pay attention, you people who live far away! The Lord summoned me from birth; he commissioned me when my mother brought me into the world.
He made my mouth like a sharp sword, he hid me in the hollow of his hand; he made me like a sharpened arrow, he hid me in his quiver.
말씀 연구Một đầy tớ gọi là Y-sơ-ra-ên — Ê-sai trước đây gọi dân tộc này là đầy tớ của Đức Chúa Trời (41:8), nhưng ở đây đầy tớ cũng được sai đến để đem Gia-cốp trở về (c. 5-6). Điều này chỉ vượt ra ngoài quốc gia để hướng về Đấng Mê-si, Đấng hoàn thành sự kêu gọi của Y-sơ-ra-ên và đem sự cứu rỗi của Đức Chúa Trời đến cho các dân tộc.(ISA 41:8)He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, through whom I will reveal my splendor.”

말씀 연구Ánh sáng cho các dân ngoại — Pao-lô trích dẫn câu này trong Công-vụ các Sứ-đồ 13:47 để giải thích lý do tại sao thông điệp về Đức Chúa Giê-xu được ra giảng cho những người không phải người Giu-đa. Sự cứu rỗi của đầy tớ không chỉ dành cho riêng Y-sơ-ra-ên; mà vươn đến tận cùng trái đất.(ACT 13:47)he says, “Is it too insignificant a task for you to be my servant, to reestablish the tribes of Jacob, and restore the remnant of Israel? I will make you a light to the nations, so you can bring my deliverance to the remote regions of the earth.”
말씀 연구Đầy tớ bị khinh dể và được minh oan — Đầy tớ là Đấng bị loài người khinh dể và bị dân tộc gớm ghiếc, nhưng các vua sẽ đứng dậy và thờ lạy. Điều này tiên báo sự bị từ bỏ và được minh oan của Đức Chúa Giê-xu, như cũng được miêu tả trong Ê-sai 53:3.(ISA 53:3)This is what the Lord, the protector of Israel, their Holy One, says to the one who is despised and rejected by nations, a servant of rulers: “Kings will see and rise in respect, princes will bow down, because of the faithful Lord, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen you.”
말씀 연구Ngày cứu rỗi — Pao-lô trích dẫn câu này trong 2 Cô-rinh-tô 6:2 và áp dụng vào thời đại hiện tại: bây giờ là thời kỳ thuận tiện, bây giờ là ngày cứu rỗi. Sự giải cứu của Đức Chúa Trời được ban cho ngày hôm nay, chứ không chỉ trong tương lai.(2CO 6:2)This is what the Lord says: “At the time I decide to show my favor, I will respond to you; in the day of deliverance I will help you; I will protect you and make you a covenant mediator for people, to rebuild the land and to reassign the desolate property.
You will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ and to those who are in dark dungeons, ‘Emerge.’ They will graze beside the roads; on all the slopes they will find pasture.
말씀 연구Dẫn đến nguồn nước sự sống — Lời hứa này được nhắc lại trong Khải-huyền 7:16-17, nơi những người được chuộc không bao giờ đói, khát, hay chịu nắng gắt vì Chiên Con dẫn họ đến những suối nước sự sống.(REV 7:16)They will not be hungry or thirsty; the sun’s oppressive heat will not beat down on them, for one who has compassion on them will guide them; he will lead them to springs of water.
I will make all my mountains into a road; I will construct my roadways.”
Look, they come from far away! Look, some come from the north and west, and others from the land of Sinim!
Shout for joy, O sky! Rejoice, O earth! Let the mountains give a joyful shout! For the Lord consoles his people and shows compassion to the oppressed.
“Zion said, ‘The Lord has abandoned me, the sovereign master has forgotten me.’
Can a woman forget her baby who nurses at her breast? Can she withhold compassion from the child she has borne? Even if mothers were to forget, I could never forget you!
Look, I have inscribed your name on my palms; your walls are constantly before me.
Your children hurry back, while those who destroyed and devastated you depart.

Yet the children born during your time of bereavement will say within your hearing, ‘This place is too cramped for us, make room for us so we can live here.’
Then you will think to yourself, ‘Who bore these children for me? I was bereaved and barren, dismissed and divorced. Who raised these children? Look, I was left all alone; where did these children come from?’”
This is what the sovereign Lord says: “Look I will raise my hand to the nations; I will raise my signal flag to the peoples. They will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.
Kings will be your children’s guardians; their princesses will nurse your children. With their faces to the ground they will bow down to you and they will lick the dirt on your feet. Then you will recognize that I am the Lord; those who wait patiently for me are not put to shame.
Can spoils be taken from a warrior, or captives be rescued from a conqueror?
Indeed,” says the Lord, “captives will be taken from a warrior; spoils will be rescued from a conqueror. I will oppose your adversary and I will rescue your children.
I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will get drunk on their own blood, as if it were wine. Then all humankind will recognize that I am the Lord, your deliverer, your protector, the powerful ruler of Jacob.”
