And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

und spricht: Es ist ein Geringes, daß du mein Knecht bist, die Stämme Jakobs aufzurichten und die Bewahrten Israels wiederzubringen; sondern ich habe dich auch zum Licht der Heiden gemacht, daß du seist mein Heil bis an der Welt Ende.
Y dijo: Poco es que tú me seas siervo para levantar las tribus de Jacob, y para que restaures los asolamientos de Israel: también te dí por luz de las gentes, para que seas mi salud hasta lo postrero de la tierra.
Il dit: C'est peu que tu sois mon serviteur Pour relever les tribus de Jacob Et pour ramener les restes d'Israël: Je t'établis pour être la lumière des nations, Pour porter mon salut jusqu'aux extrémités de la terre.
Ed egli mi ha detto: Egli è leggier cosa che tu mi sii servitore, per ridirizzare le tribù di Giacobbe, e per ricondurre i riserbati d’Israele; perciò, io ti ho dato per luce delle genti; per esser la mia salute infino alle estremità della terra
Disse mais: Pouco é que sejas o meu servo, para restaurares as tribos de Jacó, e tornares a trazer os preservados de Israel; também te dei para luz dos gentios, para seres a minha salvação até à extremidade da terra.
他說:「你作我的僕人, 使 雅各 眾支派復興, 使 以色列 中蒙保存的人歸回; 然而此事尚小, 我還要使你作萬邦之光, 使你施行我的救恩,直到地極。」
