Yesaya 40:5
Konteks40:5 The splendor 1 of the Lord will be revealed,
and all people 2 will see it at the same time.
For 3 the Lord has decreed it.” 4
Yesaya 49:6
Konteks49:6 he says, “Is it too insignificant a task for you to be my servant,
to reestablish the tribes of Jacob,
and restore the remnant 5 of Israel? 6
I will make you a light to the nations, 7
so you can bring 8 my deliverance to the remote regions of the earth.”
[40:5] 1 tn Or “glory.” The Lord’s “glory” is his theophanic radiance and royal splendor (see Isa 6:3; 24:23; 35:2; 60:1; 66:18-19).
[40:5] 2 tn Heb “flesh” (so KJV, ASV, NASB); NAB, NIV “mankind”; TEV “the whole human race.”
[40:5] 4 tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord has spoken” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV).
[49:6] 5 tn Heb “the protected [or “preserved”] ones.”
[49:6] 6 sn The question is purely rhetorical; it does not imply that the servant was dissatisfied with his commission or that he minimized the restoration of Israel.
