以賽亞書 41
1 群島啊！請肅靜聽我！讓萬民前來！讓他們前來開口說話；讓我們一起互相辯論！
Be silent to me O islands and peoples let them renew strength let them approach then let them speak together for judgment let us draw near.
2 是誰由東方喚醒了那人，使他步步遇到勝利﹖是誰將眾民交付給他，又使列王臣服於他呢﹖他的刀劍使他們化為灰塵，他的弓箭分散他們有如草芥。
Who? has he stirred up from [the] east righteousness he calls him to foot his he delivers up before him nations and kings he subdues he makes [them] like dust sword his like chaff driven about bow his.
3 他追擊他們時，平安地經過；他的腳好像沒有踏著道路一樣。
He pursues them he passes on peace a path with feet his not he comes.
4 是誰從原始安排了歷代的事而予以實行成就呢﹖我，上主，是元始，與最末者同在的也是我。
Who? has he done [it] and has he accomplished [it]? calling forth the generations from [the] beginning I Yahweh [am] first and with [the] last I [am] he.
5 群島一見即害怕起來，地極為之震動，遂都聚集前來；
They have seen islands so they may be afraid [the] ends of the earth they tremble they have drawn near and they have come!
6 彼此相助，並對自己的同伴說：「勇敢些！」
Each neighbor his they help and to brother his he says be strong.
7 工匠鼓勵金匠，掄大鎚的鼓勵使小錘的，誇讚鉛工說：「鉛的好！」遂用釘子釘住，使偶像不致動搖。
And he encouraged a craftsman a metalsmith a smoother of a hammer a striker of an anvil saying of the soldering [is] good it and he strengthened it with nails not it will be shaken.
8 但是你，我的僕人以色列，我所揀選的雅各伯，我的好友亞巴郎的苗裔，
And you O Israel servant my Jacob whom I have chosen you [the] offspring of Abraham friend my.
9 你是我由地極領來的，是我從遠方召來的，我曾向你說過：「你是我的僕人，我揀選了你，我決不放棄你。」
Whom I took hold of you from [the] ends of the earth and from remotest parts its I called you and I said to you [are] servant my you I have chosen you and not I have rejected you.
10 你不要害怕，因為我與你在一起；你不要驚惶，因為我是你的天主；我必堅固你，協助你，用我勝利的右手扶持你。
May not you be afraid for [am] with you I may not you fear for I [am] God your I have strengthened you also I have helped you also I have supported you with [the] right [hand] of righteousness my.
11 凡向你洩怒的，必蒙羞受辱；凡同你爭辯的，必要滅亡，化為烏有。
There! they will be ashamed and they may be put to shame all those [who] are angry with you they will be as nothing so they may perish [the] people of strife your.
12 凡與你爭吵的人，你找他們，也找不到。凡與你交戰的人，必化為烏有，歸於虛無，
You will seek them and not you will find them [the] people of strife your they will be as nothing and as nothing [the] people of warfare your.
13 因為是我，上主，你的天主，提攜著你的右手，向你說過：「不要害怕，有我協助你。」
For I [am] Yahweh God your [who] takes hold of right [hand] your who says to you may not you be afraid I I will help you.
14 雅各伯蟲豸啊！以色列蛆蟲啊！不要害怕，我必協助你－－上主的斷語－－你的救主是以色列的聖者。
May not you be afraid O worm of Jacob O men of Israel I I will help you [the] utterance of Yahweh and [is] redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel.
15 看啊，我使你成為一架鋒利多齒的新打禾機，叫你壓搾高山，壓得粉碎，使丘陵變為碎末。
Here! I will make you a threshing-sledge sharp new an owner of teeth you will thresh mountains so you may crush [them] and hills like chaff you will make.
16 你要簸揚它們，風必將它們捲去，暴風必吹散它們；然而你要因上主而喜樂，因以色列的聖者而誇耀。
You will winnow them and a wind it will carry away them and a tempest it will scatter them and you you will be glad in Yahweh in [the] holy [one] of Israel you will boast.
17 貧困和窮苦的人，若找水而無所獲，他們的舌頭渴得焦燥，我上主必俯允他們，我，以色列的天主必不棄捨他們。
The poor [people] and the needy [people] [are] seeking water and there not tongue their with thirst it is dry I Yahweh I will answer them [the] God of Israel not I will forsake them.
18 我要在禿山上開闢河流，在空谷中噴出泉源；我要使沙漠變為池沼，使乾地化為噴泉。
I will open on bare heights rivers and in [the] middle of valleys springs I will make [the] wilderness a pool of water and a land dry springs of water.
19 我要在沙漠中種植香柏木、皂莢、桃金娘和橄欖樹；在荒野中要把柏樹、榆樹和雲杉樹一起栽植起來；
I will put in the wilderness cedar[s] acacia tree[s] and myrtle tree[s] and tree[s] of oil I will set in the desert plain cypress[es] elm[s] and box tree[s] together.
20 為使人們看見，知道，同時因深思而瞭解：這是上主的手所做的，是以色列的聖者所創造的。
So that they may see so they may know so they may set so they may have insight all together that [the] hand of Yahweh it has done this and [the] holy [one] of Israel he has created it.
21 拿出你的理由來，上主說：呈上你的證據來，雅各伯的君王說。
Bring near case your he says Yahweh bring near arguments your he says [the] king of Jacob.
22 讓他們前來，告訴我們將要發生什麼事；讓他們告訴我們，那以往的事有什麼意義，好叫我們記在心中；或者讓我們聽聽那要來的事罷，好叫我們知道那事的結果。
Let them bring [them] near and they may tell to us [the things] which they will happen the former [things] - what? [were] they tell so let us take [them] heart our so we may know end their or the coming [things] proclaim to us.
23 請你們說說那以後要來的事，好叫我們知道你們是神；無論好壞請你們做一下，好叫我們都驚奇害怕。
Tell the [things] coming to afterwards so let us know that [are] gods you also you will do good and you may do harm and let us fear (so let us see *Q(K)*) altogether.
24 看哪！你們竟是烏有，你們的工作也是虛無；那選擇你們的實在可憎。
Here! you [are] from nothing and work your [is] from something worthless [is] an abomination [one who] he chooses you.
25 我由北方喚起了一個人，他就來了；我由日出之地呼喚了他的名字，他將蹂躪王侯有如泥濘，又如陶工踐踏黏土。
I have stirred up from [the] north and he has come from [the] rising of [the] sun he will call on name my so he may come officials like mud and like a potter [who] he tramples clay.
26 誰首先說過這事，好叫我們知道，在事前說過，而叫我們說「對啦﹖」實在沒有一個預言過，沒有一個講過，也沒有一個聽見過你們說話。
Who? did he tell [it] from [the] beginning so we may know and from before so we may say correct also there not [was one who] told also there not [was one who] proclaimed also there not [was one who] heard words your.
27 只有我是第一位給熙雍報告過這事，給耶路撒冷遣發了一位報告喜訊的。
A first [one] to Zion here! here [are] they and to Jerusalem a bearer of news I gave.
28 我環視四周，了無一人；他們中沒有一個可做謀士，向他詢問，可回答一句的。
And [when] I may look and there not [is] a person and from these and there not [is] a counselor and I will ask them and they may bring back a word.
29 看哪，他們都是烏有，他們的工作是虛無，他們的鑄像是空氣，是空氣。
There! all of them [are] deception [are] nothing deeds their [are] a wind and emptiness molten images their.
