< 以賽亞書 44 >
1 但是現在,我的僕人雅各伯!我所揀選的以色列!你聽罷!
and now to hear: hear Jacob servant/slave my and Israel to choose in/on/with him
2 那造成你,從母胎形成你,且協助你的上主這樣說:「我的僕人雅各伯!我所揀選的耶叔戎,你不要害怕!
thus to say LORD to make you and to form: formed you from belly: womb to help you not to fear servant/slave my Jacob and Jeshurun to choose in/on/with him
3 因為我要把水倒在乾地上,使豪雨落在旱陸上;我要把我的神傾住在你的苗裔身上,把我的祝福降在你的子孫身上。
for to pour: pour water upon thirsty and to flow upon dry land to pour: pour spirit my upon seed: children your and blessing my upon offspring your
and to spring in/on/with between: among grass like/as willow upon stream water
5 這個說:「我是上主的,」那個要起雅各伯的名字,另一個要在手上寫 :「屬於上主,」並要起以色列的名號。
this to say to/for LORD I and this to call: call to in/on/with name Jacob and this to write hand his to/for LORD and in/on/with name Israel to flatter
6 上主,以色列的君王,救主,萬軍的上主這樣說:「我是元始,我是終末,在我以外沒有別的神。
thus to say LORD king Israel and to redeem: redeem his LORD Hosts I first and I last and from beside me nothing God
7 誰相似我﹖讓他前來伸述,讓他說明,給我拿出證據來!誰能從永遠預言未來的事,請他告訴我們快要發生的事罷!
and who? like me to call: call out and to tell her and to arrange her to/for me from to set: appoint I people forever: antiquity and to come and which to come (in): come to tell to/for them
8 你們不必驚慌,不用害怕!我不是早已告訴過你,早已宣布了嗎﹖你們是我的證人,在我以外還有別的神嗎﹖決沒有別的磐石!我一個也不認識!」
not to dread and not to fear not from the past to hear: proclaim you and to tell and you(m. p.) witness my there god from beside me and nothing rock not to know
9 製造偶像的人都是虛無,他們所喜愛的,也毫無用處;他們的見證人一無所見,毫無所知,必將蒙受恥辱。
to form: formed idol all their formlessness and to desire their not to gain and witness their they(masc.) not to see: see and not to know because be ashamed
who? to form: formed god and idol to pour to/for lest to gain
11 看哪!凡作他夥伴的,都要蒙受恥辱,因為製造偶像的,也只是人而已! 讓他們集合起來一同前來罷!他們必要驚慌羞愧!
look! all companion his be ashamed and artificer they(masc.) from man to gather all their to stand: stand to dread be ashamed unitedness
12 鐵匠先在炭火上工作,再用鎚子打成偶像,他用大力的手臂工作,當饑餓時,也就沒有力量;沒有水喝,他就疲勞不堪。
artificer iron axe and to work in/on/with coal and in/on/with hammer to form: formed him and to work him in/on/with arm strength his also be hungry and nothing strength not to drink water and to faint
13 木匠伸展繩墨,用筆劃線,後拿刨子刨平,再用圓規測量,做成一個人形,具有人的美麗,好供在廟裏。
artificer tree: carpenter to stretch line to delimit him in/on/with stylus to make him in/on/with plane and in/on/with compass to delimit him and to make him like/as pattern man like/as beauty man to/for to dwell house: temple
14 人先去砍伐一塊香柏,或取一塊榆木,或橡木;或在樹林中選一塊堅固的木料,或自己種植一棵月桂樹,讓雨水使之長大。
to/for to cut: cut to/for him cedar and to take: take cypress and oak and to strengthen to/for him in/on/with tree wood to plant fir and rain to magnify
15 這些木料原是為人作燃料,原可用來取煖,也可燃燒烘烤麵包;人卻用它來作神像去恭敬,或做偶像去叩拜:
and to be to/for man to/for to burn: burn and to take: take from them and to warm also to kindle and to bake food: bread also to work god and to bow to make him idol and to prostrate to/for them
16 人把一半木頭投入火中燃燒,在火炭上烤肉吃;待吃飽了烤肉,又取了煖,遂說:「哈哈!我暖和了,也覺得有了火!」
half his to burn in/at/by fire upon half his flesh to eat to roast roasted and to satisfy also to warm and to say Aha! to warm to see: see flame
17 遂用剩下的一半作了一個神像,一個偶像,向它叩拜,俯伏懇求說:「求你救我,因為你是我的神!」
and remnant his to/for god to make to/for idol his (to prostrate *Q(k)*) to/for to prostrate and to bow and to pray to(wards) him and to say to rescue me for god my you(m. s.)
18 他們不瞭解,也不覺悟,因為他們的眼糊住了,什麼也看不見;他們的心也不知覺悟,
not to know and not to understand for to be smeared from to see: see eye their from be prudent heart their
19 也不回心想一下,也不會明智通達地說:「一半木頭我已投入火中燒了,並在火炭上烤了麵包,烤了肉吃;我竟將剩下的一半作了一個怪物,向這塊木頭敬拜。」
and not to return: recall to(wards) heart his and not knowledge and not understanding to/for to say half his to burn in/at/by fire and also to bake upon coal his food: bread to roast flesh and to eat and remainder his to/for abomination to make to/for produce tree: wood to prostrate
20 他所追求的僅是一把灰;他迷惑的心領他走入歧途,而不能自拔,也不會問說:「我右手所拿的不是虛無嗎﹖」
to pasture ashes heart to deceive to stretch him and not to rescue [obj] soul: myself his and not to say not deception in/on/with right my
21 雅各伯啊!你要記住這些事!以色列啊!你也應記住,因為你是我的僕人,我造了你,是叫你作我的僕人。以色列啊!我決不會忘了你!
to remember these Jacob and Israel for servant/slave my you(m. s.) to form: formed you servant/slave to/for me you(m. s.) Israel not to forget me
22 我消除了你的罪過,有如煙消;我消除了你的愆尤,有如雲散;歸依我罷!因為我救贖了你。
to wipe like/as cloud transgression your and like/as cloud sin your to return: return [emph?] to(wards) me for to redeem: redeem you
23 諸天,歡騰罷!因為上主作了這一切;地下的深淵,歡呼罷!山嶺、森林和其中的樹木,高聲歌唱罷!因為上主拯救了雅各伯,在以色列顯揚了自己。
to sing heaven for to make: do LORD to shout lower land: country/planet to break out mountain: mount cry wood and all tree in/on/with him for to redeem: redeem LORD Jacob and in/on/with Israel to beautify
24 你的救主,由母胎形成你的上主這樣說:「我是創造萬有的上主,只有我展開了諸天,佈置了大地,誰與我同在﹖
thus to say LORD to redeem: redeem your and to form: formed you from belly: womb I LORD to make all to stretch heaven to/for alone me to beat [the] land: country/planet (who? from with me *Q(K)*)
25 是我破壞了占卜者的預兆,使巫士成為愚妄,使智者退後,使他們的知識變為愚蠢,
to break sign: indicator bluster and to divine to be foolish to return: turn back wise back and knowledge their be foolish
26 是我叫我僕人們的話實現,叫我使者們的計謀成功;是我論及耶路撒冷說:「你必要有人居住。」論及猶大各城說:「你們要被重建,我必要重建你們的廢址。」
to arise: establish word servant/slave his and counsel messenger his to ally [the] to say to/for Jerusalem to dwell and to/for city Judah to build and desolation her to arise: establish
27 是我對深淵說:「你必涸竭,我要使你的河流乾涸。」
[the] to say to/for deep to dry and river your to wither
28 是我論及居魯士說:「他是我的牧人,他要履行我的一切計劃,要吩咐重建耶路撒冷,奠基重修聖殿。」
[the] to say to/for Cyrus to pasture my and all pleasure my to complete and to/for to say to/for Jerusalem to build and temple to found
