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 boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages [were] heavy loaden; [they are] a burden to the weary [beast].
2 都一同弯腰屈身， 不能保全重驮， 自己倒被掳去。
They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone 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, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne [by me] from the belly, which are carried from the 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。
And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs will I carry [you: ] I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver [you].
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 will ye liken me, and make [me] equal, and compare me, that we may be 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。
They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, [and] hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they 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 upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, [one] shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
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 shew yourselves men: bring [it] again to mind, O ye transgressors.
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 things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like 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。
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
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。
Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken [it], I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it.
12 你们这些心中顽梗、 远离公义的，当听我言。
Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far from righteousness:
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 bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
