以赛亚书 54

1 你这不怀孕、不生养的要歌唱； 你这未曾经过产难的要发声歌唱，扬声欢呼； 因为没有丈夫的比有丈夫的儿女更多。 这是耶和华说的。

Sing, O barren, thou [that] didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou [that] didst not travail with child: for more [are] the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

2 要扩张你帐幕之地， 张大你居所的幔子，不要限止； 要放长你的绳子， 坚固你的橛子。

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

3 因为你要向左向右开展； 你的后裔必得多国为业， 又使荒凉的城邑有人居住。

For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 不要惧怕，因你必不致蒙羞； 也不要抱愧，因你必不致受辱。 你必忘记幼年的羞愧， 不再记念你寡居的羞辱。

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

5 因为造你的是你的丈夫； 万军之耶和华是他的名。 救赎你的是以色列的圣者； 他必称为全地之 神。

For thy Maker [is] thine husband; the LORD of hosts [is] his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6 耶和华召你， 如召被离弃心中忧伤的妻， 就是幼年所娶被弃的妻。 这是你 神所说的。

For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

7 我离弃你不过片时， 却要施大恩将你收回。

For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

8 我的怒气涨溢， 顷刻之间向你掩面， 却要以永远的慈爱怜恤你。 这是耶和华—你的救赎主说的。

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

9 这事在我好像挪亚的洪水。 我怎样起誓不再使挪亚的洪水漫过遍地， 我也照样起誓不再向你发怒， 也不斥责你。

For this [is as] the waters of Noah unto me: for [as] I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

10 大山可以挪开， 小山可以迁移； 但我的慈爱必不离开你； 我平安的约也不迁移。 这是怜恤你的耶和华说的。

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

11 你这受困苦、被风飘荡不得安慰的人哪， 我必以彩色安置你的石头， 以蓝宝石立定你的根基；

O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, [and] not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

12 又以红宝石造你的女墙， 以红玉造你的城门， 以宝石造你四围的边界。

And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

13 你的儿女都要受耶和华的教训； 你的儿女必大享平安。

And all thy children [shall be] taught of the LORD; and great [shall be] the peace of thy children.

14 你必因公义得坚立， 必远离欺压，不致害怕； 你必远离惊吓，惊吓必不临近你。

In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

15 即或有人聚集，却不由于我； 凡聚集攻击你的，必因你仆倒。

Behold, they shall surely gather together, [but] not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

16 吹嘘炭火、打造合用器械的铁匠是我所造； 残害人、行毁灭的也是我所造。

Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

17 凡为攻击你造成的器械必不利用； 凡在审判时兴起用舌攻击你的， 你必定他为有罪。 这是耶和华仆人的产业， 是他们从我所得的义。 这是耶和华说的。

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
