舊約 -- 以賽亞書(Isaiah) -- 第43章
43:1 雅各阿,創造你的耶和華,以色列阿,造成你的那位,現在如此說,你不要害怕,因為我救贖了你。我曾題你的名召你,你是屬我的。
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
43:2 你從水中經過,我必與你同在。你趟過江河,水必不漫過你。你從火中行過,必不被燒,火焰也不著在你身上。
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
43:3 因為我是耶和華你的神,是以色列的圣者你的救主。我已經使埃及作你的贖價,使古實和西巴代替你。
For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
43:4 因我看你為寶為尊,又因我愛你,所以我使人代替你,使列邦人替換你的生命。
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
43:5 不要害怕,因我與你同在。我必領你的后裔從東方來,又從西方招聚你。
Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
43:6 我要對北方說,交出來。對南方說,不要拘留。將我的眾子從遠方帶來,將我的眾女從地極領回,I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
43:7 就是凡稱為我名下的人,是我為自己的榮耀創造的,是我作成,所造作的。
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
43:8 你要將有眼而瞎,有耳而聾的民都帶出來。
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
43:9 任憑萬國聚集,任憑眾民會合,其中誰能將此聲明,并將先前的事說給我們聽呢。他們可以帶出見證來,自顯為是,或者他們聽見便說,這是真的。
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
43:10 耶和華說,你們是我的見證,我所揀選的仆人。既是這樣,便可以知道,且信服我,又明白我就是耶和華,在我以前沒有真神,(真原文作造作的)在我以后也必沒有。
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
43:11 惟有我是耶和華,除我以外沒有救主。
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
43:12 我曾指示,我曾拯救,我曾說明。并且在你們中間沒有別神,所以耶和華說,你們是我的見證,我也是神。
I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.
43:13 自從有日子以來,我就是神。誰也不能救人脫離我手,我要行事,誰能阻止呢。
Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
43:14 耶和華你們的救贖主,以色列的圣者如此說,因你們的緣故,我已經打發人到巴比倫去,并且我要使迦勒底人如逃民,都坐自己喜樂的船下來。
Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
43:15 我是耶和華你們的圣者,是創造以色列的,是你們的君王。
I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
43:16 耶和華在滄海中開道,在大水中開路。
Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
43:17 使車輛,馬匹,軍兵,勇士都出來,一同躺下不再起來,他們滅沒好像熄滅的燈火。
Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
43:18 耶和華如此說,你們不要記念從前的事,也不要思想古時的事。
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
43:19 看哪,我要做一件新事,如今要發現,你們豈不知道嗎。我必在曠野開道路,在沙漠開江河。
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
43:20 野地的走獸必尊重我,野狗和鴕鳥也必如此,因我使曠野有水,使沙漠有河,好賜給我的百姓我的選民喝。
The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
43:21 這百姓是我為自己所造的,好述說我的美德。
This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
43:22 雅各阿,你并沒有求告我。以色列阿,你倒厭煩我。
But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
43:23 你沒有將你的羊帶來給我作燔祭,也沒有用祭物尊敬我。我沒有因供物使你服勞,也沒有因乳香使你厭煩。
Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
43:24 你沒有用銀子為我買菖蒲,也沒有用祭物的脂油使我飽足,倒使我因你的罪惡服勞,使我因你的罪孽厭煩。
Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
43:25 惟有我為自己的緣故涂抹你的過犯,我也不記念你的罪惡。
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
43:26 你要題醒我,你我可以一同辯論,你可以將你的理陳明,自顯為義。
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
43:27 你的始祖犯罪,你的師傅違背我。
Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
43:28 所以我要辱沒圣所的首領,使雅各成為咒詛,使以色列成為辱罵。
Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
