Yeshayah 42:1-8 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Here is Avdi [Moshiach, see Zech 3:8; Isa 52:13], whom I uphold; Mine Bachir (Elect One, Chosen One), in whom My nefesh delighteth; I have put My Ruach [Hakodesh] upon Him; He [Moshiach] shall bring forth mishpat to the Goyim.

2. He [Moshiach] shall not cry out, nor lift up His kol (voice), nor cause it to be heard in the street.

3. A bruised reed shall He [Moshiach] not break, and a smoking wick shall He not quench; He shall bring forth mishpat according to emes.

4. He [Moshiach] shall not fail nor be discouraged, till He establish mishpat ba'aretz; and the iyim shall wait for His (Moshiach's) torah [1C 9:21].

5. Thus saith HaEl Hashem, Boreh HaShomayim, and the One stretching them out; He that spread out ha'aretz, and that which cometh out of it as produce; He that giveth neshamah (soul) unto HaAm upon it, and ruach to them that walk thereon [See 1Th 5:23 OJBC]:

6. I Hashem have called Thee in tzedek, and will take hold of Thine yad, and will keep Thee, and give Thee [Moshiach] for a Brit (Covenant, Mt 26:28) of the Am (People), for an Ohr Goyim;

7. To open the einayim ivrot (blind eyes), to bring out the captives from confinement, and them that sit in choshech out of the bais keleh (dungeon, prison).

8. I am Hashem; that is Shmi; and My kavod will I not give to another, neither My tehillah (praise) to pesilim.
