以賽亞書 46
1 貝耳塌下了，乃波傾倒了，他們的神像，負在走獸和牲口身上；他們的重載，重壓著筋疲的畜類。
Bel crouches; Nebo cowers. Their idols weigh down beasts and cattle. The images you carry are burdensome, a load to the weary animal.
2 他們都一齊傾倒了，塌下了，神像不但不能救助馱運他們的畜類，甚至連自己也該流徙遠配。
The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.
3 雅各伯家啊！以色列家所有的遺民啊！請你們聽我：自出母胎我就抱著你，自離母腹我就懷著你；
“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.
4 直到你年老，我仍是一樣；直到你白頭，我依然扶持你。我既然如此做了，我必要提攜你，扶持你，拯救你。
Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.
5 你們拿我同誰比擬，與誰相等，跟誰比較，以求我們相同呢﹖
To whom will you liken Me or count Me equal? To whom will you compare Me, that we should be alike?
6 有些人從錢囊中把金子倒出，放銀子在天平上衡量；以後僱了一個金匠，製造了一個神像，遂向它屈膝朝拜；
They pour out their bags of gold and weigh out silver on scales; they hire a goldsmith to fashion it into a god, so they can bow down and worship.
7 又將神像抬起，放在肩上扛著，以後安置在一個地方，它就立在那裏，再不能離開那地方；人呼求它，它也不答應，也不能救人脫離災殃。
They lift it to their shoulder and carry it along; they set it in its place, and there it stands, not budging from that spot. They cry out to it, but it does not answer; it saves no one from his troubles.
8 你們應記住這事，應站穩！叛逆的人啊！你們應記在心頭！
Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!
9 你們應追憶以前古時所發生的事，因為我是天主，沒有另一個；我是天主，沒有與我相似的，
Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.
10 我從起出就預言了末後的事，早就宣佈了未來的事；我如今說：「我的計劃必要成功，我的旨意都要實現；」
I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
11 我要把老鷹從東方召來，把履行我計劃的人由遠方叫來；我說了，必要去行；我決定了，必要去做。
I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it.
12 心硬的人！遠離正義的人！ 聽我說罷！
Listen to Me, you stubborn people, far removed from righteousness:
13 我的仁義來近了，已不遠了，我的救恩不再延遲；我必在熙雍賜與救恩，把我的光榮賜給以色列。
I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion and adorn Israel with My splendor.
