以赛亚书 42
1 看哪，我的仆人— 我所扶持所拣选、心里所喜悦的！ 我已将我的灵赐给他； 他必将公理传给外邦。
Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 他不喧嚷，不扬声， 也不使街上听见他的声音。
He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.
3 压伤的芦苇，他不折断； 将残的灯火，他不吹灭。 他凭真实将公理传开。
The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 他不灰心，也不丧胆， 直到他在地上设立公理； 海岛都等候他的训诲。
He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.
5 创造诸天，铺张穹苍， 将地和地所出的一并铺开， 赐气息给地上的众人， 又赐灵性给行在其上之人的 神耶和华， 他如此说：
Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.
6 我—耶和华凭公义召你， 必搀扶你的手，保守你， 使你作众民的中保， 作外邦人的光，
I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 开瞎子的眼， 领被囚的出牢狱， 领坐黑暗的出监牢。
That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 我是耶和华，这是我的名； 我必不将我的荣耀归给假神， 也不将我的称赞归给雕刻的偶像。
I the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 看哪，先前的事已经成就， 现在我将新事说明， 这事未发以先，我就说给你们听。
The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them.
10 航海的和海中所有的， 海岛和其上的居民， 都当向耶和华唱新歌， 从地极赞美他。
Sing ye to the Lora a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and all that are therein: ye islands, and ye inhabitants of them.
11 旷野和其中的城邑， 并基达人居住的村庄都当扬声； 西拉的居民当欢呼， 在山顶上呐喊。
Let the desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains.
12 他们当将荣耀归给耶和华， 在海岛中传扬他的颂赞。
They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.
13 耶和华必像勇士出去， 必像战士激动热心， 要喊叫，大声呐喊， 要用大力攻击仇敌。
The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 我许久闭口不言，静默不语； 现在我要喊叫，像产难的妇人； 我要急气而喘哮。
I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.
15 我要使大山小冈变为荒场， 使其上的花草都枯干； 我要使江河变为洲岛， 使水池都干涸。
I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools.
16 我要引瞎子行不认识的道， 领他们走不知道的路； 在他们面前使黑暗变为光明， 使弯曲变为平直。 这些事我都要行， 并不离弃他们。
And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them.
17 倚靠雕刻的偶像， 对铸造的偶像说： 你是我们的神； 这等人要退后，全然蒙羞。
They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.
18 你们这耳聋的，听吧！ 你们这眼瞎的，看吧！ 使你们能看见。
Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see.
19 谁比我的仆人眼瞎呢？ 谁比我差遣的使者耳聋呢？ 谁瞎眼像那与我和好的？ 谁瞎眼像耶和华的仆人呢？
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord?
20 你看见许多事却不领会， 耳朵开通却不听见。
Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear?
21 耶和华因自己公义的缘故， 喜欢使律法为大，为尊。
And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it.
22 但这百姓是被抢被夺的， 都牢笼在坑中，隐藏在狱里； 他们作掠物，无人拯救， 作掳物，无人说交还。
But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: Restore.
23 你们中间谁肯侧耳听此， 谁肯留心而听，以防将来呢？
Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will attend and hearken for times to come?
24 谁将雅各交出当作掳物， 将以色列交给抢夺的呢？ 岂不是耶和华吗？ 就是我们所得罪的那位。 他们不肯遵行他的道， 也不听从他的训诲。
Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened to his law.
25 所以，他将猛烈的怒气和争战的勇力 倾倒在以色列的身上。 在他四围如火着起，他还不知道， 烧着他，他也不介意。
And he hath poured out upon him the indignation of his fury, and a strong battle, and hath burnt him round about, and he knew not: and set him on fire, and he understood not.
