以赛亚书 46
1 彼勒屈身，尼波弯腰； 巴比伦的偶像驮在兽和牲畜上。 他们所抬的如今成了重驮， 使牲畜疲乏，
Bel is broken, Nebo is destroyed: their idols are put upon beasts and cattle, your burdens of heavy weight even unto weariness.
2 都一同弯腰屈身， 不能保全重驮， 自己倒被掳去。
They are consumed, and are broken together: they could not save him that carried them, and they themselves shall go into captivity.
3 雅各家，以色列家一切余剩的要听我言： 你们自从生下，就蒙我保抱， 自从出胎，便蒙我怀搋。
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried by my bowels, are borne up by my womb.
4 直到你们年老，我仍这样； 直到你们发白，我仍怀搋。 我已造作，也必保抱； 我必怀抱，也必拯救。
Even to your old age I am the same, and to your grey hairs I will carry you: I have made you, and I will bear: I will carry and will save.
5 你们将谁与我相比，与我同等， 可以与我比较，使我们相同呢？
To whom have you likened me, and made me equal, and compared me, and made me like?
6 那从囊中抓金子， 用天平平银子的人， 雇银匠制造神像， 他们又俯伏，又叩拜。
You that contribute gold out of the bag, and weigh out silver in the scales: and hire a goldsmith to make a god: and they fall down and worship.
7 他们将神像抬起，扛在肩上， 安置在定处，它就站立， 不离本位； 人呼求它，它不能答应， 也不能救人脱离患难。
They bear him on their shoulders and carry him, and set him in his piece, and he shall stand, and shall not stir out of his place. Yea, when they shall cry also unto him, he shall not hear: he shall not save them from tribulation.
8 你们当想念这事，自己作大丈夫。 悖逆的人哪，要心里思想。
Remember this, and be ashamed: return, ye transgressors, to the heart.
9 你们要追念上古的事。 因为我是 神，并无别神； 我是 神，再没有能比我的。
Remember the former age, for I am God, and there is no God beside, neither is there the like to me:
10 我从起初指明末后的事， 从古时言明未成的事， 说：我的筹算必立定； 凡我所喜悦的，我必成就。
Who shew from the beginning the things that shall be at last, and from ancient times the things that as yet are not done, saying: My counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done:
11 我召鸷鸟从东方来， 召那成就我筹算的人从远方来。 我已说出，也必成就； 我已谋定，也必做成。
Who call a bird from the east, and from a far country the man of my own will, and I have spoken, and will bring it to pass: I have created, and I will do it.
12 你们这些心中顽梗、 远离公义的，当听我言。
Hear me, O ye hardhearted, who are far from justice.
13 我使我的公义临近，必不远离。 我的救恩必不迟延； 我要为以色列—我的荣耀， 在锡安施行救恩。
I have brought my justice near, it shall not be afar off: and my salvation shall not tarry. I will give salvation in Sion, and my glory in Israel.
