1 The Lord will have compassion on Jacob;

once again he will choose Israel

and will settle them in their own land.

Foreigners will join them

and unite with the descendants of Jacob.

2 Nations will take them

and bring them to their own place.

And Israel will take possession of the nations

and make them male and female servants in the Lord’s land.

They will make captives of their captors

and rule over their oppressors.

1 For the Lord will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, and will set them in their own land, and sojourners will join them and will attach themselves to the house of Jacob. 2 And the peoples will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them in the Lord’s land as male and female slaves. They will take captive those who were their captors, and rule over those who oppressed them.

1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob,

And will yet choose Israel,

And set them in their own land:

And the strangers shall be joined with them,

And they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place:

And the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord

For servants and handmaids:

And they shall take them captives, whose captives they were;

And they shall rule over their oppressors.

1 But the Lord will have mercy on the descendants of Jacob. He will choose Israel as his special people once again. He will bring them back to settle once again in their own land. And people from many different nations will come and join them there and unite with the people of Israel. 2 The nations of the world will help the people of Israel to return, and those who come to live in the Lord’s land will serve them. Those who captured Israel will themselves be captured, and Israel will rule over its enemies.

1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will still choose Israel, and settle them in their own land. The strangers will be joined with them, and they will cling to the house of Jacob. 2 Then people will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them for servants and maids in the land of the Lord; they will take them captive whose captives they were, and rule over their oppressors.

1 The Lord will show mercy to the people of Jacob, and he will again choose the people of Israel. He will settle them in their own land. Then non-Israelite people will join the Israelites and will become a part of the family of Jacob. 2 Nations will take the Israelites back to their land. Then those men and women from the other nations will become slaves to Israel in the Lord’s land. In the past the Israelites were their slaves, but now the Israelites will defeat those nations and rule over them.

1 For Jehovah will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the sojourner shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. 2 And the peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Jehovah for servants and for handmaids: and they shall take them captive whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

1 For Jehovah will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in rest in their own land; and the stranger shall be united to them, and they shall be joined to the house of Jacob. 2 And the peoples shall take them and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Jehovah for servants and handmaids; and they shall take them captive whose captives they were, and they shall rule over their oppressors.

1 The Lord will have compassion for Jacob and again choose Israel. 

He will resettle them in their own country. 

Foreigners will join them 

and unite with the descendants of Jacob. 

2 People will take them 

and bring them to their own place. 

The nation of Israel will possess nations 

as male and female slaves in the Lord’s land. 

They will take their captors captive 

and rule their oppressors. 

1 For the Lord will have compassion on Jacob and will choose Israel again. He will settle them on their own land. The foreigner will join them and be united with the house of Jacob. 2 The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess them as male and female slaves in the Lord’s land. They will make captives of their captors and will rule over their oppressors.

1 But the Lord will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, and will set them in their own land; and aliens will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob. 2 And the nations will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess the nations as male and female slaves in the Lord’s land; they will take captive those who were their captors, and rule over those who oppressed them.

1 But Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob,

and he will again choose Israel

and set them on their land,

and the immigrant will join himself to them,

and they will attach themselves to the house of Jacob.

2 And the nations will take them

and bring them to their place,

and the house of Israel will take possession of them in the land of Yahweh

as slaves and female slaves.

And this will happen:

they will take their captors captive

and rule over their oppressors.

1 The Lord will show tender love toward Jacob’s people.

Once again he will choose Israel.

He’ll settle them in their own land.

Outsiders will join them.

They and the people of Jacob will become one people.

2 Nations will help Israel

return to their own land.

People from other nations will belong to Israel.

They will serve them as male and female servants in the Lord’s land.

The Israelites will make prisoners of those who had held them as prisoners.

They will rule over those who had crushed them.
