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 hath said the Lord, Where is your mother's bill of divorcement, wherewith I have sent her away? or who of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother sent away.
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。
Why did I come and no man was there, did I call, with none to answer? hath my hand become too short for redeeming? or is there no power in me to deliver? behold, through my threatening I can dry up the sea, I can change the rivers into a wilderness: their fish stink for want of water, and die for thirst.
3 我可使黑暗籠罩諸天，使麻衣掩蔽天際。」
I can clothe the heavens with blackness, and I can make sackcloth their garment.
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 Eternal hath given me a tongue for teaching, that I should know how to strengthen the weary with the word: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth my ear to listen like those who are well taught.
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 Eternal hath opened me my ear, and I resisted not: I turned not backward.
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。
My back I gave up to the smiters, and my cheeks to those that plucked off the hair: my face I hid not from abuse 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。
But the Lord Eternal ever helpeth me; therefore was I not confounded; therefore have I rendered my face like a flint, and I knew that I should not be made 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！
He that justifieth me is near; who will contend with me? let us stand forward together: who hath a dispute with me? let him come near 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。
Behold, the Lord Eternal will help me; who is the man that will condemn me? lo, they all shall wear out as a garment: the moth shall eat them up.
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, that hearkeneth to the voice of his servant? though he have walked in darkness, and had no light: let him trust in the name of the Lord, and lean for support upon 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。
Behold, all ye that kindle fire, that urge on the brands: walk by the blaze of your fire, and by the brands ye have kindled; from my hand hath this been bestowed on you; in pain shall ye lie down.
