以赛亚书 43
1 雅各啊，创造你的耶和华， 以色列啊，造成你的那位， 现在如此说： 你不要害怕！因为我救赎了你。 我曾提你的名召你，你是属我的。
And now thus says the Lord God that made you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you [by] your name; you are mine.
2 你从水中经过，我必与你同在； 你趟过江河，水必不漫过你； 你从火中行过，必不被烧， 火焰也不着在你身上。
And if you pass through water, I am with you; and the rivers shall not overflow you: and if you go through fire, you shall not be burned; the flame shall not burn you.
3 因为我是耶和华—你的 神， 是以色列的圣者—你的救主； 我已经使埃及作你的赎价， 使古实和西巴代替你。
For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, that saves you: I have made Egypt and Ethiopia your ransom, and [given] Soene for you.
4 因我看你为宝为尊； 又因我爱你， 所以我使人代替你， 使列邦人替换你的生命。
Since you became precious in my sight, you have become glorious, and I have loved you: and I will give men for you, and princes for your life.
5 不要害怕，因我与你同在； 我必领你的后裔从东方来， 又从西方招聚你。
Fear not; for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and will gather you from the west.
6 我要对北方说，交出来！ 对南方说，不要拘留！ 将我的众子从远方带来， 将我的众女从地极领回，
I will say to the north, Bring; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from the [land] afar off, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7 就是凡称为我名下的人， 是我为自己的荣耀创造的， 是我所做成，所造作的。
[even] all who are called by my name: for I have prepared him for my glory, and I have formed him, and have made him:
8 你要将有眼而瞎、 有耳而聋的民都带出来！
and I have brought forth the blind people; for [their] eyes are alike blind, and they that have ears are deaf.
9 任凭万国聚集； 任凭众民会合。 其中谁能将此声明， 并将先前的事说给我们听呢？ 他们可以带出见证来，自显为是； 或者他们听见便说：这是真的。
All the nations are gathered together, and princes shall be gathered out of them: who will declare these things? or who will declare to you things from the beginning? let them bring forth their witnesses, and be justified; and let them hear, and declare the truth.
10 耶和华说：你们是我的见证， 我所拣选的仆人。 既是这样，便可以知道，且信服我， 又明白我就是耶和华。 在我以前没有真神； 在我以后也必没有。
Be you my witnesses, and I [too am] a witness, says the Lord God, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe, and understand that I am [he]: before me there was no other God, and after me there shall be none.
11 惟有我是耶和华； 除我以外没有救主。
I am God; and beside me there is no Saviour.
12 我曾指示，我曾拯救，我曾说明， 并且在你们中间没有别神。 所以耶和华说： 你们是我的见证。 我也是 神；
I have declared, and have saved; I have reproached, and there was no strange [god] among you: you are my witnesses, and I am the Lord God,
13 自从有日子以来，我就是 神； 谁也不能救人脱离我手。 我要行事谁能阻止呢？
even from the beginning; and there is none that can deliver out of my hands: I will work, and who shall turn it back?
14 耶和华—你们的救赎主、 以色列的圣者如此说： 因你们的缘故， 我已经打发人到巴比伦去； 并且我要使迦勒底人如逃民， 都坐自己喜乐的船下来。
Thus says the Lord God that redeems you, the Holy One of Israel; for your sakes I will send to Babylon, and I will stir up all that flee, and the Chaldeans shall be bound in ships.
15 我是耶和华—你们的圣者， 是创造以色列的，是你们的君王。
I am the Lord God, your Holy One, who have appointed for Israel your king.
16 耶和华在沧海中开道， 在大水中开路，
Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty water;
17 使车辆、马匹、军兵、勇士都出来， 一同躺下，不再起来； 他们灭没，好像熄灭的灯火。
who brought forth chariots and horse, and a mighty multitude: but they have lain down, and shall not rise: they are extinct, as quenched flax.
18 耶和华如此说： 你们不要记念从前的事， 也不要思想古时的事。
Remember you not the former things, and consider not the ancient things.
19 看哪，我要做一件新事； 如今要发现，你们岂不知道吗？ 我必在旷野开道路， 在沙漠开江河。
Behold, I [will] do new things, which shall presently spring forth, and you shall know them: and I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land.
20 野地的走兽必尊重我； 野狗和鸵鸟也必如此。 因我使旷野有水， 使沙漠有河， 好赐给我的百姓、我的选民喝。
the beasts of the field shall bless me, the owls and young ostriches; for I have given water in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land, to give drink to my chosen race,
21 这百姓是我为自己所造的， 好述说我的美德。
my people whom I have preserved to tell forth my praises.
22 雅各啊，你并没有求告我； 以色列啊，你倒厌烦我。
I have not now called you, O Jacob; neither have I made you weary, O Israel.
23 你没有将你的羊带来给我作燔祭， 也没有用祭物尊敬我； 我没有因供物使你服劳， 也没有因乳香使你厌烦。
You have not brought me the sheep of your whole burnt offering; neither have you glorified me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with sacrifices, neither have I wearied you with frankincense.
24 你没有用银子为我买菖蒲， 也没有用祭物的脂油使我饱足； 倒使我因你的罪恶服劳， 使我因你的罪孽厌烦。
Neither have you purchased for me victims for silver, neither have I desired the fat of your sacrifices: but you did stand before me in your sins, and in your iniquities.
25 惟有我为自己的缘故涂抹你的过犯； 我也不记念你的罪恶。
I, [even] I, am he that blots out your transgressions for mine own sake, and your sins; and I will not remember [them].
26 你要提醒我，你我可以一同辩论； 你可以将你的理陈明，自显为义。
But do you remember, and let us plead [together]: do you first confess your transgressions, that you may be justified.
27 你的始祖犯罪； 你的师傅违背我。
Your fathers first, and your princes have transgressed against me.
28 所以，我要辱没圣所的首领， 使雅各成为咒诅， 使以色列成为辱骂。
And the princes have defiled my sanctuaries: so I gave Jacob [to enemies] to destroy, and Israel to reproach.
