以賽亞書

第44章

1 我的僕人雅各,我所揀選的以色列啊,現在你當聽。

2 造作你,又自你成胎造就你[formed thee from the womb][will]幫助你的耶和華如此說:我的僕人雅各,我所揀選的耶書崙哪,不要害怕。

3 因為我要將水澆灌口渴的人,將河澆灌乾旱之地;我要將我的靈澆灌你的後裔,將我的福澆灌你的子孫;

4 他們要生長如[spring up as]在草中,像溪水旁的柳樹。

5 這個要說:我是屬耶和華的;那個要以雅各的名自稱;又一個要親手寫[subscribe with his hand]:歸耶和華的,並自稱為以色列。

6 耶和華─以色列的君,以色列的救贖主─大軍之耶和華如此說:我是首先的,我是末後的;除我以外再沒有真神。

7 自從我設立古時的民,誰能像我宣告,並且指明,又為[me]陳說呢?讓他們[them]將未來的事和必成的事指示他們[slew unto them]

8 你們不要恐懼,也不要害怕。我豈不是從那時就告訴你,說明了[told thee from that time, and have declared it]嗎?你們就是[ye are even]我的見證。除我以外,豈真有[Is there any]神嗎?誠然沒有[God];我不知道一個。

9 製造雕刻之像[image]的盡都虛空;他們所喜悅的都無益處;他們是自己的見證[they are their own witnesses]它們[they]無所看見,無所知曉;好叫他們[that they may]羞愧。

10 誰製造神像,鑄造無益的雕刻之像[graven image]

11 看哪,他的同伴都必羞愧。工匠也不過是人。任他們聚會,任他們站立;都[yet]必懼怕,一同羞愧。

12 鐵匠持鉗子在火炭中作工[The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals][both]用鎚打鐵器,用他兩臂的力[strength of his arms]錘成;他飢餓而無力;不喝水而發倦。

13 木匠鋪出規制[stretcheth out his rule];用[line]劃出樣子;用鉋子鉋成合式[fitteth],用圓尺劃了模樣,仿照人的體態,作成人形;好住在房屋中。

14 他砍伐香柏樹,又取柏樹[cypress]和橡樹,是他在林中之樹為自己堅固的[which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest];他栽種蠟樹[ash],得雨滋養[nourish]

15 這樹,人[shall]用以燒火。[for][will]取些烤火自暖[warm himself];又燒著烤餅;他作一神像敬拜[he maketh a god, and worshippeth];作雕刻的[image]向它叩拜。

16 他把一分燒在火中;把一分烤肉吃飽。他烤火自暖[he warmeth himself],說:「啊哈,我暖和了,我見火了。」

17 他用剩下的作了一神,就是雕刻的[image]。他向這偶像俯伏敬拜[worshippeth],禱告它說:「求你拯救我;因你是我的神。」

18 他們不曉得[known],也不明白[understood]。因為耶和華閉住他們的眼,不能看見;塞住他們的心,不能明白。

19 誰心裏也不思想[considereth],也沒有知識,沒有聰明,能說:「我曾拿一分在火中燒了;[also]在炭火上烤過餅;我也烤過肉吃。這剩下的,我豈要作可憎的物嗎?我豈可向樹樁[stock of a tree]叩拜呢?」

20 他以灰為食;心被迷惑[deceived],使他偏邪,以致[that]他不能自救,也不能說:「我右手中豈不是有虛謊嗎?」

21 雅各,以色列啊,你是我的僕人,要記念這些事。以色列啊,你是我的僕人,我造就你必不忘記你。

22 我塗抹了你的過犯,像厚雲消散,[and]塗抹了你的罪惡,如薄雲滅沒。你當歸向我;因我救贖了你。

23 諸天哪,你們[ye]應當歌唱;因為耶和華作成這事。地的深處啊,你們[ye]應當歡呼。你們[ye]眾山應當發聲歌唱,樹林和其中所有的樹[O],都當如此。因為耶和華救贖了雅各,並[in]以色列榮耀了[glorified]自己。

24 你的救贖主─自你成胎造就你[thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb]的耶和華如此說:我─耶和華是創造凡所有[all things]的;是獨自鋪張諸天、擴展大地的[that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself]

25 是那[That]使說假話的兆頭失效,使占卜的癲狂;使智慧人退後,使他們[their]的知識變為愚拙[that]

26 是那[That]使我僕人的話語立定,我使者的謀算成就[That]是那[that][to]耶路撒冷說:「[thou]必有人居住」;又對[and to]猶大的城邑說:「妳們[you]必被建造,其中的荒場我也必興起」[that]

27 是那[That]對深淵說:「乾了吧[Be dry],我也要使你的江河乾涸」[That]

28 是那[That]論塞魯士說:「他是我的牧人,必成就我所喜悅的」。就是對耶路撒冷說[even saying to Jerusalem]:「你必被建造[Thou shalt be built]」、「你的根基必然立穩」的[Thy foundation shall be laid]

Isaiah

Chapter 44

1 Yet now6258 hear,8085 O Jacob3290 my servant;5650 and Israel,3478 whom I have chosen: 977

2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 that made6213 thee, and formed3335 thee from the womb,4480 990 which will help5826 thee; Fear3372 not,408 O Jacob,3290 my servant;5650 and thou, Jesurun,3484 whom I have chosen.977

3 For3588 I will pour3332 water4325 upon5921 him that is thirsty,6771 and floods5140 upon5921 the dry ground:3004 I will pour3332 my spirit7307 upon5921 thy seed,2233 and my blessing1293 upon5921 thine offspring: 6631

4 And they shall spring up6779 as among996 the grass,2682 as willows6155 by5921 the water4325 courses.2988

5 One2088 shall say,559 I589 am the LORD's;3068 and another2088 shall call7121 himself by the name8034 of Jacob;3290 and another2088 shall subscribe3789 with his hand3027 unto the LORD,3068 and surname3655 himself by the name8034 of Israel.3478

6 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 the King4428 of Israel,3478 and his redeemer1350 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 I589 am the first,7223 and I589 am the last;314 and beside4480 1107 me there is no369 God.430

7 And who,4310 as I, shall call,7121 and shall declare5046 it, and set it in order6186 for me, since I appointed4480 7760 the ancient5769 people?5971 and the things that are coming,857 and shall come,935 let them show5046 unto them.

8 Fear6342 ye not,408 neither408 be afraid:7297 have not3808 I told8085 thee from that time,4480 227 and have declared5046 it? ye859 are even my witnesses.5707 Is there3426 a God433 beside4480 1107 me? yea, there is no369 God;6697 I know3045 not1077 any.

9 They that make3335 a graven image6459 are all3605 of them vanity;8414 and their delectable things2530 shall not1077 profit;3276 and they1992 are their own witnesses;5707 they see7200 not,1077 nor1077 know;3045 that4616 they may be ashamed.954

10 Who4310 hath formed3335 a god,410 or molten5258 a graven image6459 that is profitable3276 for nothing?1115

11 Behold,2005 all3605 his fellows2270 shall be ashamed:954 and the workmen,2796 they1992 are of men:4480 120 let them all3605 be gathered together,6908 let them stand up;5975 yet they shall fear,6342 and they shall be ashamed954 together.3162

12 The blacksmith2796 1270 with the tongs4621 both worketh6466 in the coals,6352 and fashioneth3335 it with hammers,4717 and worketh6466 it with the strength3581 of his arms:2220 yea,1571 he is hungry,7456 and his strength3581 faileth:369 he drinketh8354 no3808 water,4325 and is faint.3286

13 The carpenter2796 6086 stretcheth out5186 his rule;6957 he marketh it out8388 with a line;8279 he fitteth6213 it with planes,4741 and he marketh it out8388 with the compass,4230 and maketh6213 it after the figure8403 of a man,376 according to the beauty8597 of a man;120 that it may remain3427 in the house.1004

14 He heweth him down3772 cedars,730 and taketh3947 the cypress8645 and the oak,437 which he strengtheneth553 for himself among the trees6086 of the forest:3293 he planteth5193 an ash,766 and the rain1653 doth nourish1431 it.

15 Then shall it be1961 for a man120 to burn:1197 for he will take3947 thereof,4480 and warm2552 himself; yea,637 he kindleth5400 it, and baketh644 bread;3899 yea,637 he maketh6466 a god,410 and worshipeth7812 it; he maketh6213 it a graven image,6459 and falleth down5456 thereto.

16 He burneth8313 part2677 thereof in1119 the fire;784 with5921 part2677 thereof he eateth398 flesh;1320 he roasteth6740 roast,6748 and is satisfied:7646 yea,637 he warmeth2552 himself, and saith,559 Aha,1889 I am warm,2552 I have seen7200 the fire: 217

17 And the residue7611 thereof he maketh6213 a god,410 even his graven image:6459 he falleth down5456 unto it, and worshipeth7812 it, and prayeth6419 unto413 it, and saith,559 Deliver5337 me; for3588 thou859 art my god.410

18 They have not3808 known3045 nor3808 understood:995 for3588 he hath shut2902 their eyes,5869 that they cannot see;4480 7200 and their hearts,3820 that they cannot understand.4480 7919

19 And none3808 considereth7725 in413 his heart,3820 neither3808 is there knowledge1847 nor3808 understanding8394 to say,559 I have burned8313 part2677 of it in1119 the fire;784 yea,637 also I have baked644 bread3899 upon5921 the coals1513 thereof; I have roasted6740 flesh,1320 and eaten398 it: and shall I make6213 the residue3499 thereof an abomination?8441 shall I fall down5456 to the stock944 of a tree?6086

20 He feedeth7462 on ashes:665 a deceived2048 heart3820 hath turned him aside,5186 that he cannot3808 deliver5337 853 his soul,5315 nor3808 say,559 Is there not3808 a lie8267 in my right hand?3225

21 Remember2142 these,428 O Jacob3290 and Israel;3478 for3588 thou859 art my servant:5650 I have formed3335 thee; thou859 art my servant:5650 O Israel,3478 thou shalt not3808 be forgotten5382 of me.

22 I have blotted out,4229 as a thick cloud,5645 thy transgressions,6588 and, as a cloud,6051 thy sins:2403 return7725 unto413 me; for3588 I have redeemed1350 thee.

23 Sing,7442 O ye heavens;8064 for3588 the LORD3068 hath done6213 it: shout,7321 ye lower parts8482 of the earth:776 break forth6476 into singing,7440 ye mountains,2022 O forest,3293 and every3605 tree6086 therein: for3588 the LORD3068 hath redeemed1350 Jacob,3290 and glorified himself6286 in Israel.3478

24 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 thy redeemer,1350 and he that formed3335 thee from the womb,4480 990 I595 am the LORD3068 that maketh6213 all3605 things; that stretcheth forth5186 the heavens8064 alone;905 that spreadeth abroad7554 the earth776 by854 myself;

25 That frustrateth6565 the tokens226 of the liars,907 and maketh diviners mad;1984 7080 that turneth7725 wise2450 men backward,268 and maketh their knowledge foolish;5528 1847

26 That confirmeth6965 the word1697 of his servant,5650 and performeth7999 the counsel6098 of his messengers;4397 that saith559 to Jerusalem,3389 Thou shalt be inhabited;3427 and to the cities5892 of Judah,3063 Ye shall be built,1129 and I will raise up6965 the decayed places2723 thereof:

27 That saith559 to the deep,6683 Be dry,2717 and I will dry up3001 thy rivers: 5104

28 That saith559 of Cyrus,3566 He is my shepherd,7462 and shall perform7999 all3605 my pleasure:2656 even saying559 to Jerusalem,3389 Thou shalt be built;1129 and to the temple,1964 Thy foundation shall be laid.3245

第44章

Isaiah

Chapter 44

1 我的僕人雅各,我所揀選的以色列啊,現在你當聽。

1 Yet now6258 hear,8085 O Jacob3290 my servant;5650 and Israel,3478 whom I have chosen: 977

2 造作你,又自你成胎造就你[formed thee from the womb][will]幫助你的耶和華如此說:我的僕人雅各,我所揀選的耶書崙哪,不要害怕。

2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 that made6213 thee, and formed3335 thee from the womb,4480 990 which will help5826 thee; Fear3372 not,408 O Jacob,3290 my servant;5650 and thou, Jesurun,3484 whom I have chosen.977

3 因為我要將水澆灌口渴的人,將河澆灌乾旱之地;我要將我的靈澆灌你的後裔,將我的福澆灌你的子孫;

3 For3588 I will pour3332 water4325 upon5921 him that is thirsty,6771 and floods5140 upon5921 the dry ground:3004 I will pour3332 my spirit7307 upon5921 thy seed,2233 and my blessing1293 upon5921 thine offspring: 6631

4 他們要生長如[spring up as]在草中,像溪水旁的柳樹。

4 And they shall spring up6779 as among996 the grass,2682 as willows6155 by5921 the water4325 courses.2988

5 這個要說:我是屬耶和華的;那個要以雅各的名自稱;又一個要親手寫[subscribe with his hand]:歸耶和華的,並自稱為以色列。

5 One2088 shall say,559 I589 am the LORD's;3068 and another2088 shall call7121 himself by the name8034 of Jacob;3290 and another2088 shall subscribe3789 with his hand3027 unto the LORD,3068 and surname3655 himself by the name8034 of Israel.3478

6 耶和華─以色列的君,以色列的救贖主─大軍之耶和華如此說:我是首先的,我是末後的;除我以外再沒有真神。

6 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 the King4428 of Israel,3478 and his redeemer1350 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 I589 am the first,7223 and I589 am the last;314 and beside4480 1107 me there is no369 God.430

7 自從我設立古時的民,誰能像我宣告,並且指明,又為[me]陳說呢?讓他們[them]將未來的事和必成的事指示他們[slew unto them]

7 And who,4310 as I, shall call,7121 and shall declare5046 it, and set it in order6186 for me, since I appointed4480 7760 the ancient5769 people?5971 and the things that are coming,857 and shall come,935 let them show5046 unto them.

8 你們不要恐懼,也不要害怕。我豈不是從那時就告訴你,說明了[told thee from that time, and have declared it]嗎?你們就是[ye are even]我的見證。除我以外,豈真有[Is there any]神嗎?誠然沒有[God];我不知道一個。

8 Fear6342 ye not,408 neither408 be afraid:7297 have not3808 I told8085 thee from that time,4480 227 and have declared5046 it? ye859 are even my witnesses.5707 Is there3426 a God433 beside4480 1107 me? yea, there is no369 God;6697 I know3045 not1077 any.

9 製造雕刻之像[image]的盡都虛空;他們所喜悅的都無益處;他們是自己的見證[they are their own witnesses]它們[they]無所看見,無所知曉;好叫他們[that they may]羞愧。

9 They that make3335 a graven image6459 are all3605 of them vanity;8414 and their delectable things2530 shall not1077 profit;3276 and they1992 are their own witnesses;5707 they see7200 not,1077 nor1077 know;3045 that4616 they may be ashamed.954

10 誰製造神像,鑄造無益的雕刻之像[graven image]

10 Who4310 hath formed3335 a god,410 or molten5258 a graven image6459 that is profitable3276 for nothing?1115

11 看哪,他的同伴都必羞愧。工匠也不過是人。任他們聚會,任他們站立;都[yet]必懼怕,一同羞愧。

11 Behold,2005 all3605 his fellows2270 shall be ashamed:954 and the workmen,2796 they1992 are of men:4480 120 let them all3605 be gathered together,6908 let them stand up;5975 yet they shall fear,6342 and they shall be ashamed954 together.3162

12 鐵匠持鉗子在火炭中作工[The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals][both]用鎚打鐵器,用他兩臂的力[strength of his arms]錘成;他飢餓而無力;不喝水而發倦。

12 The blacksmith2796 1270 with the tongs4621 both worketh6466 in the coals,6352 and fashioneth3335 it with hammers,4717 and worketh6466 it with the strength3581 of his arms:2220 yea,1571 he is hungry,7456 and his strength3581 faileth:369 he drinketh8354 no3808 water,4325 and is faint.3286

13 木匠鋪出規制[stretcheth out his rule];用[line]劃出樣子;用鉋子鉋成合式[fitteth],用圓尺劃了模樣,仿照人的體態,作成人形;好住在房屋中。

13 The carpenter2796 6086 stretcheth out5186 his rule;6957 he marketh it out8388 with a line;8279 he fitteth6213 it with planes,4741 and he marketh it out8388 with the compass,4230 and maketh6213 it after the figure8403 of a man,376 according to the beauty8597 of a man;120 that it may remain3427 in the house.1004

14 他砍伐香柏樹,又取柏樹[cypress]和橡樹,是他在林中之樹為自己堅固的[which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest];他栽種蠟樹[ash],得雨滋養[nourish]

14 He heweth him down3772 cedars,730 and taketh3947 the cypress8645 and the oak,437 which he strengtheneth553 for himself among the trees6086 of the forest:3293 he planteth5193 an ash,766 and the rain1653 doth nourish1431 it.

15 這樹,人[shall]用以燒火。[for][will]取些烤火自暖[warm himself];又燒著烤餅;他作一神像敬拜[he maketh a god, and worshippeth];作雕刻的[image]向它叩拜。

15 Then shall it be1961 for a man120 to burn:1197 for he will take3947 thereof,4480 and warm2552 himself; yea,637 he kindleth5400 it, and baketh644 bread;3899 yea,637 he maketh6466 a god,410 and worshipeth7812 it; he maketh6213 it a graven image,6459 and falleth down5456 thereto.

16 他把一分燒在火中;把一分烤肉吃飽。他烤火自暖[he warmeth himself],說:「啊哈,我暖和了,我見火了。」

16 He burneth8313 part2677 thereof in1119 the fire;784 with5921 part2677 thereof he eateth398 flesh;1320 he roasteth6740 roast,6748 and is satisfied:7646 yea,637 he warmeth2552 himself, and saith,559 Aha,1889 I am warm,2552 I have seen7200 the fire: 217

17 他用剩下的作了一神,就是雕刻的[image]。他向這偶像俯伏敬拜[worshippeth],禱告它說:「求你拯救我;因你是我的神。」

17 And the residue7611 thereof he maketh6213 a god,410 even his graven image:6459 he falleth down5456 unto it, and worshipeth7812 it, and prayeth6419 unto413 it, and saith,559 Deliver5337 me; for3588 thou859 art my god.410

18 他們不曉得[known],也不明白[understood]。因為耶和華閉住他們的眼,不能看見;塞住他們的心,不能明白。

18 They have not3808 known3045 nor3808 understood:995 for3588 he hath shut2902 their eyes,5869 that they cannot see;4480 7200 and their hearts,3820 that they cannot understand.4480 7919

19 誰心裏也不思想[considereth],也沒有知識,沒有聰明,能說:「我曾拿一分在火中燒了;[also]在炭火上烤過餅;我也烤過肉吃。這剩下的,我豈要作可憎的物嗎?我豈可向樹樁[stock of a tree]叩拜呢?」

19 And none3808 considereth7725 in413 his heart,3820 neither3808 is there knowledge1847 nor3808 understanding8394 to say,559 I have burned8313 part2677 of it in1119 the fire;784 yea,637 also I have baked644 bread3899 upon5921 the coals1513 thereof; I have roasted6740 flesh,1320 and eaten398 it: and shall I make6213 the residue3499 thereof an abomination?8441 shall I fall down5456 to the stock944 of a tree?6086

20 他以灰為食;心被迷惑[deceived],使他偏邪,以致[that]他不能自救,也不能說:「我右手中豈不是有虛謊嗎?」

20 He feedeth7462 on ashes:665 a deceived2048 heart3820 hath turned him aside,5186 that he cannot3808 deliver5337 853 his soul,5315 nor3808 say,559 Is there not3808 a lie8267 in my right hand?3225

21 雅各,以色列啊,你是我的僕人,要記念這些事。以色列啊,你是我的僕人,我造就你必不忘記你。

21 Remember2142 these,428 O Jacob3290 and Israel;3478 for3588 thou859 art my servant:5650 I have formed3335 thee; thou859 art my servant:5650 O Israel,3478 thou shalt not3808 be forgotten5382 of me.

22 我塗抹了你的過犯,像厚雲消散,[and]塗抹了你的罪惡,如薄雲滅沒。你當歸向我;因我救贖了你。

22 I have blotted out,4229 as a thick cloud,5645 thy transgressions,6588 and, as a cloud,6051 thy sins:2403 return7725 unto413 me; for3588 I have redeemed1350 thee.

23 諸天哪,你們[ye]應當歌唱;因為耶和華作成這事。地的深處啊,你們[ye]應當歡呼。你們[ye]眾山應當發聲歌唱,樹林和其中所有的樹[O],都當如此。因為耶和華救贖了雅各,並[in]以色列榮耀了[glorified]自己。

23 Sing,7442 O ye heavens;8064 for3588 the LORD3068 hath done6213 it: shout,7321 ye lower parts8482 of the earth:776 break forth6476 into singing,7440 ye mountains,2022 O forest,3293 and every3605 tree6086 therein: for3588 the LORD3068 hath redeemed1350 Jacob,3290 and glorified himself6286 in Israel.3478

24 你的救贖主─自你成胎造就你[thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb]的耶和華如此說:我─耶和華是創造凡所有[all things]的;是獨自鋪張諸天、擴展大地的[that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself]

24 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 thy redeemer,1350 and he that formed3335 thee from the womb,4480 990 I595 am the LORD3068 that maketh6213 all3605 things; that stretcheth forth5186 the heavens8064 alone;905 that spreadeth abroad7554 the earth776 by854 myself;

25 是那[That]使說假話的兆頭失效,使占卜的癲狂;使智慧人退後,使他們[their]的知識變為愚拙[that]

25 That frustrateth6565 the tokens226 of the liars,907 and maketh diviners mad;1984 7080 that turneth7725 wise2450 men backward,268 and maketh their knowledge foolish;5528 1847

26 是那[That]使我僕人的話語立定,我使者的謀算成就[That]是那[that][to]耶路撒冷說:「[thou]必有人居住」;又對[and to]猶大的城邑說:「妳們[you]必被建造,其中的荒場我也必興起」[that]

26 That confirmeth6965 the word1697 of his servant,5650 and performeth7999 the counsel6098 of his messengers;4397 that saith559 to Jerusalem,3389 Thou shalt be inhabited;3427 and to the cities5892 of Judah,3063 Ye shall be built,1129 and I will raise up6965 the decayed places2723 thereof:

27 是那[That]對深淵說:「乾了吧[Be dry],我也要使你的江河乾涸」[That]

27 That saith559 to the deep,6683 Be dry,2717 and I will dry up3001 thy rivers: 5104

28 是那[That]論塞魯士說:「他是我的牧人,必成就我所喜悅的」。就是對耶路撒冷說[even saying to Jerusalem]:「你必被建造[Thou shalt be built]」、「你的根基必然立穩」的[Thy foundation shall be laid]

28 That saith559 of Cyrus,3566 He is my shepherd,7462 and shall perform7999 all3605 my pleasure:2656 even saying559 to Jerusalem,3389 Thou shalt be built;1129 and to the temple,1964 Thy foundation shall be laid.3245
