我的仆人雅各,我所拣选的以色列阿,现在你当听。
Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
造作你,又从你出胎造就你,并要帮助你的耶和华如此说,我的仆人雅各,我所拣选的耶书仑哪,不要害怕。
Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
因为我要将水浇灌口渴的人,将河浇灌乾旱之地。我要将我的灵浇灌你的后裔,将我的福浇灌你的子孙。
For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
他们要发生在草中,像溪水旁的柳树。
And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
这个要说,我是属耶和华的。那个要以雅各的名自称。又一个要亲手写归耶和华的(或作在手上写归耶和华)并自称为以色列。
One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
耶和华以色列的君,以色列的救赎主万军之耶和华如此说,我是首先的,我是末后的,除我以外,再没有真神。
Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
自从我设立古时的民,谁能像我宣告,并且指明,又为自己陈说呢。让他将未来的事,和必成的事说明。
And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
你们不要恐惧,也不要害怕。我岂不是从上古就指示说明你们吗,并且你们是我的见证,除我以外,岂有真神吗,诚然没有磐石,我不知道一个。
Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
制造雕刻偶像的,尽都虚空。他们所喜悦的,都无益处。他们的见证,无所看见,无所知晓,他们便觉羞愧。
They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
谁制造神像,铸造无益的偶像。
Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
看哪,他们的同伴都必羞愧,工匠也不过是人。任他们聚会,任他们站立,都必惧怕,一同羞愧。
Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
铁匠把铁在火炭中烧热,用槌打铁器,用他有力的臂膀锤成。他饥饿而无力,不喝水而发倦。
The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
木匠拉线,用笔划出样子。用刨子刨成形状,用圆尺划了模样,仿照人的体态,作成人形,好住在房屋中。
The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
他砍伐香柏树,又取柞(或作青桐)树和橡树,在树林中选定了一棵。他栽种松树得雨长养,
He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
这树,人可用以烧火,他自己取些烤火,又烧着烤饼。而且作神像跪拜,作雕刻的偶像向他叩拜。
Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
他把一分烧在火中,把一分烤肉吃饱。自己烤火说,阿哈,我暖和了,我见火了。
He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
他用剩下的作了一神,就是雕刻的偶像,他向这偶像俯伏叩拜,祷告他说,求你拯救我,因你是我的神。
And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
他们不知道,也不思想,因为耶和华闭住他们的眼不能看见,塞住他们的心不能明白。
They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
谁心里也不醒悟,也没有知识,没有聪明,能说,我曾拿一分在火中烧了,在炭上烤过饼,我也烤过肉吃,这剩下的,我岂要作可憎的物吗。我岂可向木??子叩拜呢。
And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
他以灰为食,心中昏迷,使他偏邪,他不能自救,也不能说,我右手中岂不是有虚谎吗。
He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
雅各以色列阿,你是我的仆人,要记念这些事。以色列阿,你是我的仆人,我造就你必不忘记你。
Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
我涂抹了你的过犯,像厚云消散。我涂抹了你的罪恶,如薄云灭没。你当归向我,因我救赎了你。
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
诸天哪,应当歌唱,因为耶和华作成这事。地的深处阿,应当欢呼,众山应当发声歌唱,树林和其中所有的树,都当如此,因为耶和华救赎了雅各,并要因以色列荣耀自己。
Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
从你出胎,造就你的救赎主耶和华如此说,我耶和华是创造万物的,是独自铺张诸天,铺开大地的。(谁与我同在呢)
Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
使说假话的兆头失效,使占卜的癫狂,使智慧人退后,使他的知识变为愚拙。
That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
使我仆人的话语立定,我使者的谋算成就。论到耶路撒冷说,必有人居住。论到犹大的城邑说,必被建造。其中的荒场我也必兴起。
That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
对深渊说,你乾了吧。我也要使你的江河乾涸。
That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
论居鲁士说,他是我的牧人,必成就我所喜悦的,必下令建造耶路撒冷,发令立稳圣殿的根基。
That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
