The Servant of the Lord
“Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will bring justice to the nations.
He will not shout or cry out,
or raise his voice in the streets.
A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on earth.
In his teaching the islands will put their hope.”
This is what God the Lord says—
the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out,
who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it,
who gives breath to its people,
and life to those who walk on it:
“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,
to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
Isaiah 42:1-7
主のしもべ
わたしの支えるしもべ、
わたしの喜びとする選ばれた者に目を留めよ。
わたしは彼に、わたしの霊を与えた。
彼は世界の国々に正義を示す。
彼は穏やかで、大声を上げたり
路上で言い争ったりしない。
いたんだ葦を折らず、
今にも消えそうな火でも消さない。
気落ちしている人を元気づけ、
もうだめだとあきらめる者を励ます。
こうして、痛めつけられた者たちに
完全な正義が与えられるのを見届ける。
真実と正義が全地に行き渡り、
海の向こうの遠い国々の民が
彼を信頼するようになるまで手を休めない。
イザヤ書４２：１－４
