以賽亞書 42
1 看哪，我的僕人－ 我所扶持所揀選、心裏所喜悅的！ 我已將我的靈賜給他； 他必將公理傳給外邦。
Behold my servant, whom I will uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him, that he may bring forth justice to the nations.
2 他不喧嚷，不揚聲， 也不使街上聽見他的聲音。
He shall not cry, nor call out aloud, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 壓傷的蘆葦，他不折斷； 將殘的燈火，他不吹滅。 他憑真實將公理傳開。
A cracked reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: unto truth shall he bring forth justice.
4 他不灰心，也不喪膽， 直到他在地上設立公理； 海島都等候他的訓誨。
He shall not become fatigued and not be faint, till he have established justice on earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 創造諸天，鋪張穹蒼， 將地和地所出的一併鋪開， 賜氣息給地上的眾人， 又賜靈性給行在其上之人的上帝耶和華， 他如此說：
Thus hath said God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and the things which come out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to those that walk thereon:
6 我－耶和華憑公義召你， 必攙扶你的手，保守你， 使你作眾民的中保， 作外邦人的光，
I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will lay hold on thy hand, and will keep thee, and appoint thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;
7 開瞎子的眼， 領被囚的出牢獄， 領坐黑暗的出監牢。
To open blind eyes, to bring out from the dungeon the prisoner, and out of the prison-house those that dwell in darkness.
8 我是耶和華，這是我的名； 我必不將我的榮耀歸給假神， 也不將我的稱讚歸給雕刻的偶像。
I am the Everlasting One, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to any other, nor my praise to graven images.
9 看哪，先前的事已經成就， 現在我將新事說明， 這事未發以先，我就說給你們聽。
The former things, behold, are come to pass; and new things do I announce; before they spring forth I let you hear of them.
10 航海的和海中所有的， 海島和其上的居民， 都當向耶和華唱新歌， 從地極讚美他。
Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that filleth it; the isles, and their inhabitants.
11 曠野和其中的城邑， 並基達人居住的村莊都當揚聲； 西拉的居民當歡呼， 在山頂上吶喊。
Let resound with song the wilderness and its cities, the villages which Kedar inhabiteth: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing, let them shout forth from the top of the mountains.
12 他們當將榮耀歸給耶和華， 在海島中傳揚他的頌讚。
Let them give glory unto the Lord, and in the islands declare his praise.
13 耶和華必像勇士出去， 必像戰士激動熱心， 要喊叫，大聲吶喊， 要用大力攻擊仇敵。
The Lord—as a mighty one will he go forth, like a man of war will he arouse his vengeance: he will shout, yea, raise the war-cry; against his enemies will he show his strength.
14 我許久閉口不言，靜默不語； 現在我要喊叫，像產難的婦人； 我要急氣而喘哮。
I have a long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: [now] like a travailing woman will I cry; I will destroy and devour [all] together.
15 我要使大山小岡變為荒場， 使其上的花草都枯乾； 我要使江河變為洲島， 使水池都乾涸。
I will lay waste mountains and hills, and all their herbs will I dry up; and I will change the rivers into islands, and pools will I dry up.
16 我要引瞎子行不認識的道， 領他們走不知道的路； 在他們面前使黑暗變為光明， 使彎曲變為平直。 這些事我都要行， 並不離棄他們。
And I will cause the blind to walk on a way that they have not known; on paths that they have not known will I lead them: I will change darkness before them into light, and crooked places into plains. These are the things which I will do, and not leave them [unfulfilled].
17 倚靠雕刻的偶像， 對鑄造的偶像說： 你是我們的神； 這等人要退後，全然蒙羞。
They shall be turned back, they shall be ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to molten idols, Ye are our gods.
18 你們這耳聾的，聽吧！ 你們這眼瞎的，看吧！ 使你們能看見。
Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look up, that ye may see.
19 誰比我的僕人眼瞎呢？ 誰比我差遣的使者耳聾呢？ 誰瞎眼像那與我和好的？ 誰瞎眼像耶和華的僕人呢？
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger whom I send? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the servant of the Lord?
20 你看見許多事卻不領會， 耳朵開通卻不聽見。
Thou seest many things, but observest not; the ears are open, but he heareth not.
21 耶和華因自己公義的緣故， 喜歡使律法為大，為尊。
The Lord willed [to do this] for the sake of his righteousness; [therefore] he magnifieth the law, and maketh it honorable.
22 但這百姓是被搶被奪的， 都牢籠在坑中，隱藏在獄裏； 他們作掠物，無人拯救， 作擄物，無人說交還。
But it is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them ensnared in holes, and in prison-houses are they hidden: they are become for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23 你們中間誰肯側耳聽此， 誰肯留心而聽，以防將來呢？
Who among you will give ear to this? will hearken and listen, for the time to come?
24 誰將雅各交出當作擄物， 將以色列交給搶奪的呢？ 豈不是耶和華嗎？ 就是我們所得罪的那位。 他們不肯遵行他的道， 也不聽從他的訓誨。
Who gave up Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to plunderers? was it not the Lord? he it is against whom we have sinned; for they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.
25 所以，他將猛烈的怒氣和爭戰的勇力 傾倒在以色列的身上。 在他四圍如火着起，他還不知道， 燒着他，他也不介意。
Therefore hath he poured out over him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it blazed all round about him, yet he regarded it not; and it burnt on him, yet he laid it not to heart.
