以赛亚书 45
1 我—耶和华所膏的塞鲁士； 我搀扶他的右手， 使列国降伏在他面前。 我也要放松列王的腰带， 使城门在他面前敞开， 不得关闭。 我对他如此说：
This is what Yahweh says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, in order to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, and to open the doors before him, so that gates remain open:
2 我必在你前面行， 修平崎岖之地。 我必打破铜门， 砍断铁闩。
“I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut in pieces their iron bars,
3 我要将暗中的宝物和隐密的财宝赐给你， 使你知道提名召你的， 就是我—耶和华、以色列的 神。
and I will give you the treasures of darkness and riches hidden away, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who call you by your name, I, the God of Israel.
4 因我仆人雅各， 我所拣选以色列的缘故， 我就提名召你； 你虽不认识我， 我也加给你名号。
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name, giving you a title of honor, though you have not known me.
5 我是耶和华，在我以外并没有别神； 除了我以外再没有 神。 你虽不认识我， 我必给你束腰。
I am Yahweh, and there is no other; there is no God but me. I will arm you for battle, though you have not known me;
6 从日出之地到日落之处 使人都知道除了我以外，没有别神。 我是耶和华； 在我以外并没有别神。
that people may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no god but me: I am Yahweh, and there is no other.
7 我造光，又造暗； 我施平安，又降灾祸； 造作这一切的是我—耶和华。
I form the light and create darkness; I bring peace and create disaster; I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
8 诸天哪，自上而滴， 穹苍降下公义； 地面开裂，产出救恩， 使公义一同发生； 这都是我—耶和华所造的。
You heavens, rain down from above! Let the skies rain down righteousness. Let the earth absorb it, that salvation may sprout up, and righteousness spring up together with it. I, Yahweh, have created them both.
9 祸哉，那与造他的主争论的！ 他不过是地上瓦片中的一块瓦片。 泥土岂可对抟弄他的说：你做什么呢？ 所做的物岂可说：你没有手呢？
Woe to anyone who argues with the one who formed him, to him who is like any other earthen pot among all the earthen pots in the ground! Does the clay say to the potter, 'What are you making?' or 'Your work has no handles on it'?
10 祸哉，那对父亲说： 你生的是什么呢？ 或对母亲说： 你产的是什么呢？
Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you fathering?' or to a woman, 'What are you giving birth to?'
11 耶和华—以色列的圣者， 就是造就以色列的如此说： 将来的事，你们可以问我； 至于我的众子，并我手的工作， 你们可以求我命定。
This is what Yahweh says, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: 'Why do you ask questions about what I will do for my children? Do you tell me what to do concerning the work of my hands?'
12 我造地，又造人在地上。 我亲手铺张诸天； 天上万象也是我所命定的。
'I made the earth and created man on it. It was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all the stars to appear.
13 我凭公义兴起塞鲁士， 又要修直他一切道路。 他必建造我的城， 释放我被掳的民； 不是为工价，也不是为赏赐。 这是万军之耶和华说的。
I stirred Cyrus up in righteousness, and I will smooth out all his paths. He will build my city; he will let my exiled people go home, and not for price nor bribe,'” says Yahweh of hosts.
14 耶和华如此说： 埃及劳碌得来的和古实的货物必归你； 身量高大的西巴人必投降你，也要属你。 他们必带着锁链过来随从你， 又向你下拜，祈求你说： 神真在你们中间，此外再没有别神； 再没有别的 神。
This is what Yahweh says, “The earnings of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush with the Sabeans, men of tall stature, will be brought to you. They will be yours. They will follow after you, coming in chains. They will bow down to you and plead with you saying, 'Surely God is with you, and there is no other except him.'”
15 救主—以色列的 神啊， 你实在是自隐的 神。
Truly you are a God who hides yourself, God of Israel, Savior.
16 凡制造偶像的都必抱愧蒙羞， 都要一同归于惭愧。
They will all be ashamed and disgraced together; those who carve idols will walk in humiliation.
17 惟有以色列必蒙耶和华的拯救， 得永远的救恩。 你们必不蒙羞，也不抱愧， 直到永世无尽。
But Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation; you will never again be ashamed or humiliated.
18 创造诸天的耶和华， 制造成全大地的 神， 他创造坚定大地， 并非使地荒凉， 是要给人居住。 他如此说： 我是耶和华，再没有别神。
This is what Yahweh says, who created the heavens, the true God who created the earth and made it, who established it. He created it, not as a waste, but designed it to be inhabited: “I am Yahweh, and there is no other.
19 我没有在隐密黑暗之地说话； 我没有对雅各的后裔说： 你们寻求我是徒然的。 我—耶和华所讲的是公义， 所说的是正直。
I have not spoken in private, in some hidden place; I did not say to Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain!' I am Yahweh, who speaks sincerely; I declare the things that are right.
20 你们从列国逃脱的人， 要一同聚集前来。 那些抬着雕刻木偶、 祷告不能救人之神的， 毫无知识。
Assemble yourselves and come! Gather together, you refugees from among the nations! They have no knowledge, those who carry carved images and pray to gods that cannot save.
21 你们要述说陈明你们的理， 让他们彼此商议。 谁从古时指明？ 谁从上古述说？ 不是我—耶和华吗？ 除了我以外，再没有 神； 我是公义的 神，又是救主； 除了我以外，再没有别神。
Come close and declare it to me, bring the evidence! Let them conspire together. Who has shown this from long ago? Who announced it? Was it not I, Yahweh? There is no God except me, a just God and a Savior; there is no one besides me.
22 地极的人都当仰望我， 就必得救； 因为我是 神，再没有别神。
Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23 我指着自己起誓， 我口所出的话是凭公义，并不反回： 万膝必向我跪拜； 万口必凭我起誓。
By myself I swear, speaking my just decree, and it will not turn back: 'To me every knee will bend, every tongue will swear.
24 人论我说， 公义、能力，惟独在乎耶和华； 人都必归向他。 凡向他发怒的必至蒙羞。
They will say of me, “In Yahweh alone are salvation and strength.”'” They will all be ashamed who are angry at him.
25 以色列的后裔都必因耶和华得称为义， 并要夸耀。
In Yahweh all the descendants of Israel will be justified; they will take pride in him.
