以賽亞書

第41章

1 眾海島啊，當在我面前靜默；眾民當從新得力。他們可以［let them］近前來；然後［then］說話。我們可以一起近前來［come near together］，彼此辯論。

2 誰從東方興起那義［the righteous］人，憑公義召他來到腳前，將列國交了［gave］他，使他管轄君王呢？他［he］把他們如灰塵交與他的刀，又［and］如風吹的碎稭交與他的弓。

3 他追趕他們，安然走過［passed safely］；就是走他腳所未走的道［even by the way that he had not gone with his feet］。

4 誰行作成就這事，從起初宣召歷代呢？就是我─耶和華，我是首先的，也與末後的同在；我乃是他［I am he］。

5 海島看見這事［it］，就都害怕；地極也都懼怕［afraid］，就近前來。

6 他們各人幫助鄰居；各人對他兄弟［his brother］說：壯膽吧。

7 於是［So］木匠勉勵金匠［goldsmith］，用鎚打光的勉勵打砧的，說［saying］：這個可以預備銲接了［It is ready for the sodering］；又用釘子釘穩，使它免得［that it should not］動搖。

8 唯你─以色列是［art］我的僕人，是［art］我所揀選的雅各［Jacob whom I have chosen］，是［art］我朋友亞伯拉罕的後裔。

9 你是我從地極所領［taken］來的，從其中的首領［chief men thereof］所召來的，且對你說：你是我的僕人；我揀選你，並不棄絕你。

10 你不要害怕；因為我與你同在。不要驚惶；因為我是你的神。我必堅固你；我必幫助你；我必用我公義的右手扶持你。

11 看哪［Behold］，凡向你發怒的必都蒙羞抱愧［ashamed and confounded］。他們必如無有［they shall be as nothing］；與你相爭的，必要［they that strive with thee shall］滅亡。

12 與你爭競的，你要找他們也找不著；與你爭戰的必如無有，成為虛無。

13 因為我耶和華─你的神必扶持［hold］你的右手，對你說：不要害怕；我必幫助你。

14 你這蟲雅各和你們以色列人，不要害怕；我必幫助你，這是耶和華─你的救贖主─以色列的聖者說的［I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel］。

15 看哪，我已使你成為有快齒打糧的新器具；你要把山嶺打得粉碎，使岡陵如同糠秕。

16 你要把它們［them］簸揚，風要吹去；旋風要把它們［them］颳散；你就［and］要以耶和華為喜樂，以以色列的聖者為誇耀。

17 那時［When］，困苦窮乏人尋求水，卻是沒有，他們因口渴，舌頭乾燥，我─耶和華必聽允［hear］他們，我─以色列的神必不離棄他們。

18 我要在高處［high places］開江河，在谷中開泉源；我要使曠野［wilderness］變為水池，使乾地變為水泉［springs of water］。

19 我要在曠野種上香柏樹、皂莢樹、番石榴樹，和野橄欖樹；我在荒漠［desert］要把松樹、杉樹，並黃楊樹一同栽植。

20 好叫人看見、知道、思想、明白，這是耶和華的手所作的，是以色列的聖者所創造［created］的。

21 耶和華對假神說：你們要呈上你們的案件；雅各的君說：你們要聲明你們確實的理由。

22 它們［them］可以聲明，向我們指示［shew us］將來必遇的事；它們可以指明［let them shew］先前的是甚麼事，好叫我們思索，得知事的結局；或者把將來的事給我們說明［declare us］。

23 要指明［Shew］後來的事，好叫我們知道你們是眾神；你們或降福，或降禍，使我們驚奇，一同觀看。

24 看哪，你們屬乎虛無，你們的作為也屬乎虛空；那選擇你們的是可憎惡的。

25 我已［have］從北方興起一人，他也必來到［and he shall come］；他要從日出之地而來，求告我的名［from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name］；他必臨到王子［princes］，好像臨到灰泥，彷彿陶匠［potter］踹泥一樣。

26 誰從起初指明［declared］，使我們知道呢？誰從先前說明，使我們說「他是義［is righteous］」呢？誰也沒有說明［sheweth］，誰也沒有指明［declared］，誰也沒有聽見你們的話。

27 那首先的要［The first shall］對錫安說：看哪，看看他們［behold them］。我要將一個報好信息的賜給耶路撒冷。

28 因我觀看［For I beheld］，未曾見有人［there was no man］；我問的時候，他們中間也未有［was no］謀士可以回答一句。

29 看哪，他們盡是虛空［are all vanity］，他們的工作都是虛無［their works are nothing］；他們所鑄的像［images］都是風，都是虛的。

Isaiah

Chapter 41

1 KEEP silence, O you islands; and let the people renew their strength; let them come near; then let them speak; let them come near together to judgment.

2 Who has stirred up the righteous one from the east, and hastened him on? The nations shall surrender before him, and kings shall be confounded. He gave them as the dust to his sword and as driven stubble to his bow.

3 He shall pursue them, then make peace; and he shall not pass that way on foot.

4 Who has prepared and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first and the last; I am he.

5 The islands saw it, and were afraid; and the ends of the earth were afraid, and they drew near and came.

6 They helped every one his neighbor; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.

7 The carpenter encourages the goldsmith, and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil, saying, It is ready for the soldering; and they fasten it with nails, that it should not be moved.

8 But now, Israel, you are my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the descendants of Abraham my friend, whom I have strengthened.

9 I have called you from the ends of the earth and from among the prophets, and said to you, You are my servant; I have chosen you, and have not rejected you;

10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I have strengthened you, and have also helped you, yea, I will also uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 All those that reproach you shall be ashamed and confounded; they shall be as nothing; and those who strive with you shall perish.

12 You shall seek them that strive with you, but you shall not find them; they that war against you shall be as if they were nothing.

13 For I am the LORD your God, the strengthener of your right hand. I have said to you, Fear not; I am your helper.

14 Fear not, O you helpless men of Jacob, O you remnant of Israel! I am your helper, says the LORD, and your Saviour, the Holy One of Israel.

15 Behold, I have made you as a new threshing instrument having teeth; a thing which tears and crushes to pieces; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and shall make the hills as chaff.

16 You shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; and you shall rejoice in the LORD and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.

17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is dried with thirst, I the LORD will answer them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

18 I will open rivers in the mountains and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness pools of water, and the dry land springs of water.

19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedars, the acacia tree, the myrtle, and the olive tree; I will set in the desert the cypress and the pine and the box tree together;

20 That they may see and know and consider and understand that the hand of the LORD has done this and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

21 Bring near your cause, says the LORD; bring near your counsels, says the King of Jacob.

22 Let them come near and show us the things that are to come; show us the former things, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare to us the things that are to come.

23 Show us the wonders that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; yea, do good, or do evil, that we may relate it and behold it together.

24 Behold, you are nothing, and your works are corrupt; choosing you is an abomination.

25 I have stirred up one from the north, and he shall come from the rising of the sun, and shall call on my name; and the princes shall come, and shall be trodden down like mortar, and as the potter treads clay.

26 Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? And beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? Yea, there is none that shows, yea, there is none that declares, yea, there is none that hears your words.

27 These things are the chief concern of Zion; behold, I will give to Jerusalem one that brings good tidings.

28 For I beheld, and there was no man who could meditate about these things, that I might ask him, and that he might give me an answer.

29 Behold, they are all nothing; their works are vanity; their images are wind and vanity.

14 你這蟲雅各和你們以色列人，不要害怕；我必幫助你，這是耶和華─你的救贖主─以色列的聖者說的［I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel］。	14 Fear not, O you helpless men of Jacob, O you remnant of Israel! I am your helper, says the LORD, and your Saviour, the Holy One of Israel.
15 看哪，我已使你成為有快齒打糧的新器具；你要把山嶺打得粉碎，使岡陵如同糠秕。	15 Behold, I have made you as a new threshing instrument having teeth; a thing which tears and crushes to pieces; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and shall make the hills as chaff.
16 你要把它們［them］簸揚，風要吹去；旋風要把它們［them］颳散；你就［and］要以耶和華為喜樂，以以色列的聖者為誇耀。	16 You shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; and you shall rejoice in the LORD and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 那時［When］，困苦窮乏人尋求水，卻是沒有，他們因口渴，舌頭乾燥，我─耶和華必聽允［hear］他們，我─以色列的神必不離棄他們。	17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is dried with thirst, I the LORD will answer them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

21 耶和華對假神說：你們要呈上你們的案件；雅各的君說：你們要聲明你們確實的理由。	21 Bring near your cause, says the LORD; bring near your counsels, says the King of Jacob.
22 它們［them］可以聲明，向我們指示［shew us］將來必遇的事；它們可以指明［let them shew］先前的是甚麼事，好叫我們思索，得知事的結局；或者把將來的事給我們說明［declare us］。	22 Let them come near and show us the things that are to come; show us the former things, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare to us the things that are to come.
