以賽亞書 45
1 我－耶和華所膏的塞魯士； 我攙扶他的右手， 使列國降伏在他面前。 我也要放鬆列王的腰帶， 使城門在他面前敞開， 不得關閉。 我對他如此說：
Thus says the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, so that I may subjugate the nations before his face, and I may turn the backs of kings, and I may open the doors before him, and so that the gates will not be shut.
2 我必在你前面行， 修平崎嶇之地。 我必打破銅門， 砍斷鐵閂。
I will go before you. And I will humble the glorious ones of the earth. I will shatter the gates of brass, and I will break apart the bars of iron.
3 我要將暗中的寶物和隱密的財寶賜給你， 使你知道提名召你的， 就是我－耶和華、以色列的上帝。
And I will give you hidden treasures and the knowledge of secret things, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls your name.
4 因我僕人雅各， 我所揀選以色列的緣故， 我就提名召你； 你雖不認識我， 我也加給你名號。
For the sake of Jacob, my servant, and Israel, my elect, I have even called you by your name. I have taken you up, and you have not known me.
5 我是耶和華，在我以外並沒有別神； 除了我以外再沒有上帝。 你雖不認識我， 我必給你束腰。
I am the Lord, and there is no one else. There is no god beside me. I girded you, and you have not known me.
6 從日出之地到日落之處 使人都知道除了我以外，沒有別神。 我是耶和華； 在我以外並沒有別神。
So may those who are from the rising of the sun, and those who are from its setting, know that there is no one beside me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 我造光，又造暗； 我施平安，又降災禍； 造作這一切的是我－耶和華。
I form the light and create the darkness. I make peace and create disaster. I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 諸天哪，自上而滴， 穹蒼降下公義； 地面開裂，產出救恩， 使公義一同發生； 這都是我－耶和華所造的。
Send down dew from above, O heavens, and let the clouds rain down upon the just! Let the earth open and spring forth a savior! And let justice rise up at once! I, the Lord, have created him.
9 禍哉，那與造他的主爭論的！ 他不過是地上瓦片中的一塊瓦片。 泥土豈可對摶弄它的說：你做甚麼呢？ 所做的物豈可說：你沒有手呢？
Woe to him who contradicts his Maker, a mere shard from an earthen vessel! Should the clay say to the potter, “What are you making?” or, “Your work is not made by your hands?”
10 禍哉，那對父親說： 你生的是甚麼呢？ 或對母親說： 你產的是甚麼呢？
Woe to him who says to his father, “Why did you conceive?” or to a woman, “Why did you give birth?”
11 耶和華－以色列的聖者， 就是造就以色列的如此說： 將來的事，你們可以問我； 至於我的眾子，並我手的工作， 你們可以求我命定。
Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Would you question me about the future, concerning my sons, and command me concerning the work of my hands?
12 我造地，又造人在地上。 我親手鋪張諸天； 天上萬象也是我所命定的。
I made the earth, and I created man upon it. My hand stretched out the heavens, and I have commanded all their hosts.
13 我憑公義興起塞魯士， 又要修直他一切道路。 他必建造我的城， 釋放我被擄的民； 不是為工價，也不是為賞賜。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
I have raised him up unto justice, and I will direct all his ways. He himself will build my city and release my captives, but not for ransom or gifts, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
14 耶和華如此說： 埃及勞碌得來的和古實的貨物必歸你； 身量高大的西巴人必投降你，也要屬你。 他們必帶着鎖鍊過來隨從你， 又向你下拜，祈求你說： 上帝真在你們中間，此外再沒有別神； 再沒有別的上帝。
Thus says the Lord: The labor of Egypt, and the business dealings of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, will pass to you and will be yours. They will walk behind you. They will travel, bound in irons. And they will adore you and petition you: “In you alone is God, and there is no God apart from you.
15 救主－以色列的上帝啊， 你實在是自隱的上帝。
Truly, you are a hidden God, the God of Israel, the Savior.”
16 凡製造偶像的都必抱愧蒙羞， 都要一同歸於慚愧。
They have all been confounded and should be ashamed! These fabricators of errors have departed together into confusion!
17 惟有以色列必蒙耶和華的拯救， 得永遠的救恩。 你們必不蒙羞，也不抱愧， 直到永世無盡。
Israel is saved in the Lord by an eternal salvation. You will not be confounded, and you will not be ashamed, even forever and ever.
18 創造諸天的耶和華， 製造成全大地的上帝， 他創造堅定大地， 並非使地荒涼， 是要給人居住。 他如此說： 我是耶和華，再沒有別神。
For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, the very Molder of it. He did not create it to no purpose. He formed it so that it would be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 我沒有在隱密黑暗之地說話； 我沒有對雅各的後裔說： 你們尋求我是徒然的。 我－耶和華所講的是公義， 所說的是正直。
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in vain.” I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.
20 你們從列國逃脫的人， 要一同聚集前來。 那些抬着雕刻木偶、 禱告不能救人之神的， 毫無知識。
Assemble yourselves, and approach, and draw near together, you who have been saved among the Gentiles. They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, and who petition a god unable to save.
21 你們要述說陳明你們的理， 讓他們彼此商議。 誰從古時指明？ 誰從上古述說？ 不是我－耶和華嗎？ 除了我以外，再沒有上帝； 我是公義的上帝，又是救主； 除了我以外，再沒有別神。
Announce it, and approach, and consult together. Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.
22 地極的人都當仰望我， 就必得救； 因為我是上帝，再沒有別神。
All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved. For I am God, and there is no other.
23 我指着自己起誓， 我口所出的話是憑公義，並不反回： 萬膝必向我跪拜； 萬口必憑我起誓。
I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, and it will not turn back. For every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall swear it.
24 人論我說， 公義、能力，惟獨在乎耶和華； 人都必歸向他。 凡向他發怒的必至蒙羞。
Therefore, he will say, “In the Lord are my justices and my dominion.” They will go to him. And all who fight against him will be confounded.
25 以色列的後裔都必因耶和華得稱為義， 並要誇耀。
In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel will be justified and praised.
