Siapakah yang memberitahukannya dari mulanya, sehingga kami mengetahuinya, dan dari dahulu, sehingga kami mengatakan: "Benarlah dia?" Sungguh, tidak ada orang yang memberitahukannya, tidak ada orang yang mengabarkannya, tidak ada orang yang mendengar sepatah katapun dari padamu.

Alkitab Terjemahan Lama
Siapakah sudah memberitahunya dari mula-mula? kita hendak mengetahui dia, atau dahulu dari pada datangnya, supaya kata kita: Benarlah ia! Tetapi seorangpun tiada yang memberitahu perkara itu; bahkan, seorangpun tiada yang memperdengarkan barang sesuatu; bahkan, seorangpun tiada yang mendengar barang sepatah katamu.

Contextual Overview

²¹ Stande at your cause saith the Lord, & bryng foorth your strongest grounde, saith the kyng of Iacob. ²² Let them bring foorth their gods, and let their gods tel vs what shall chaunce hereafter, yea let them shewe vs the thinges that are past what they be, let them declare them vnto vs, that we may take them to heart, and knowe them hereafter. ²³ Either shewe vs thinges for to come, and tell vs what shall be done hereafter, so shall we know that ye are gods: do something either good or bad, so wyl we both knowledge the same, and tell it out. ²⁴ Beholde ye are gods of naught, and your making is of naught: yea abhomible is the man that hath chosen you. ²⁵ Neuerthelesse, I haue waked vp one from the north, and he shall come from the east, he shal call vpon my name, and shall treade vpon princes as vpon clay, and as the potter treadeth downe the mire. ²⁶ Who declared this from the beginning, and we will knowe hym: or from the olde times, and we wil confesse and say that he is righteous? but there is none that sheweth or declareth any thing, there is none also that heareth your wordes. ²⁷ The first is he that shall say to Sion, beholde, beholde, they are present: and to Hierusalem it selfe wyll I geue an euangelist. ²⁸ But when I consider, there is not a man among them, nor any that can geue counsayle, nor that when I examine them that can aunswere one worde. ²⁹ Lo wicked are they, and vayne, with the thinges also that they take in hand, yea their images are but winde and vayne thinges.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know?.... Who of the idols, or of their priests, that have declared things future before they came to pass, or ever predicted such an event as this before mentioned; which, if understood of Cyrus, was an hundred and fifty years before it came to pass; and if of Constantine, near a thousand years:

and before time, that we may say, he is righteous? that is, who hath declared things before the time of the accomplishment of them, and they have come to pass, as they have been declared? by which it may be known that they are gods, or the priests of such that are so, by their having prescience of future events, or the spirit of prophecy; and so it may be said of them, that they are just in their pretensions, and have a rightful claim to deity, or are true prophets; so the Targum,

"that we may say it is true''

yea, there is none that showeth, yea, there is none that declareth; that shows and declares things to come, or such as the true God shows and declares:

yea, there is none that heareth your words; none of your worshippers that ever heard you speak a word, who, when they have prayed to you, could never have an answer; and therefore you have no just claim to deity; or ever heard any of your prophets say such a thing should come to pass, and it did.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Who hath declared from the beginning - The meaning of this passage is, ‘there is no one among the soothsayers, and the worshippers of idols, who has predicted the birth, the character, and the conquests of Cyrus. There is among the pagan no recorded prediction on the subject, as there is among the Jews, that when he shall have come, it may be said that a prediction is accomplished.’

And before-time - Formerly; before the event occurred.

That we may say - That it may be said; that there may be evidence, or reason for the affirmation.

He is righteous - The words ‘he is’ are not in the Hebrew ·The original is simply ‘righteous’ (צדיק tsaddı̂yq), just, that is, it is just, or true; the prediction is fulfilled. It does not refer to the character of God, but to the certainty of the fulfillment of the prediction.

There is none that showeth - There is no one among the worshippers of false gods, the soothsayers and necromancers, that has predicted these events.

None that heareth your words - There is no one that has heard such a prediction among you.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 41:26. Your word — אמרתיכם imrntheychem; but, instead of this, one of my most ancient MSS. has דבריכם dibreychem. The meaning is nearly the same: but in this reading this MS. is singular.
