以賽亞書 50
1 上主這樣說：「我離棄你們母親的離婚書在那裏呢﹖或者我把你們賣給了我的那一位債主呢﹖看！因了你們的惡行，你們纔被出賣，因了你們的過犯，你們的母親纔被離棄。
Thus sayeth the Lord, Where is that bill of your mothers diuorcement, whome I haue cast off? or who is the creditour to whome I solde you? Beholde, for your iniquities are yee solde, and because of your transgressions is your mother forsaken.
2 為什麼我來到的時候，沒有人在呢﹖為什麼我召呼的時候，無人答應﹖難道我的手短小而不能施救﹖或者我再無救助之力﹖看！我一怒喝，海便涸竭，江河便成為曠野，其中的魚類因無水而萎縮渴死。
Wherefore came I, and there was no man? I called, and none answered: is mine hand so shortened, that it cannot helpe? or haue I no power to deliuer? Beholde, at my rebuke I drie vp the Sea: I make the floods desert: their fish rotteth for want of water, and dieth for thirst.
3 我可使黑暗籠罩諸天，使麻衣掩蔽天際。」
I clothe the heauens with darkenesse, and make a sacke their couering.
4 吾主上主賜給了我一個受教的口舌，叫我會用言語援助疲倦的人。他每天清晨喚醒我，喚醒我的耳朵，叫我如同學子一樣靜聽。
The Lord God hath giuen me a tongue of the learned, that I shoulde knowe to minister a woord in time to him that is weary: he will raise me vp in the morning: in the morning hee will waken mine eare to heare, as the learned.
5 吾主上主開啟了我的耳朵，我並沒有違抗，也沒有退避。
The Lord God hath opened mine eare and I was not rebellious, neither turned I backe.
6 我將我的背轉給打擊我的人，把我的腮轉給扯我鬍鬚的人；對於侮辱和唾污，我沒有遮掩我的面。
I gaue my backe vnto the smiters, and my cheekes to the nippers: I hidde not my face from shame and spitting.
7 因為吾主上主協助我，因此我不以為羞恥；所以我板著臉，像一塊燧石，因我知道我不會受恥辱。
For the Lord God will helpe me, therefore shall I not bee confounded: therefore haue I set my face like a flint, and I knowe that I shall not be ashamed.
8 那給我伸冤者已來近了。誰要和我爭辯，讓我們一齊站起來罷！誰是我的對頭，叫他到我這裏來罷！
Hee is neere that iustifieth mee: who will contend with me? Let vs stande together: who is mine aduersarie? let him come neere to me.
9 請看！有吾主上主扶助我，誰還能定我的罪呢﹖看！他們都像衣服一樣要破舊，為蠹蟲所侵蝕。
Beholde, the Lord God will helpe me: who is he that can condemne me? loe, they shall waxe olde as a garment: the mothe shall eate them vp.
10 你們中凡敬畏上主的，應聽他僕人的聲音！凡於黑暗中行走而不見光明的，該依靠上主的名字，並仰仗自己的天主。
Who is among you that feareth the Lord? let him heare the voyce of his seruant: hee that walketh in darkenesse, and hath no light, let him trust in the Name of the Lord, and staye vpon his God.
11 看哪！凡你們點了火，燃了火把的，必要在你們所點的火燄裏，在你們所燃的火把中行走！這是我的手所加於你們的，你們必倒臥在痛苦之中。
Beholde, all you kindle a fire, and are compassed about with sparkes: walke in the light of your fire, and in the sparkes that ye haue kindled. This shall ye haue of mine hand: ye shall lye downe in sorowe.
