以賽亞書 46
1 彼勒屈身，尼波彎腰； 巴比倫的偶像馱在獸和牲畜上。 他們所抬的如今成了重馱， 使牲畜疲乏，
Bel has fallen, Nabo is broken to pieces, their graven images are gone to the wild beasts and the cattle: ye take them packed up as a burden to the weary, exhausted, hungry, and [at the same time] helpless man;
2 都一同彎腰屈身， 不能保全重馱， 自己倒被擄去。
who will not be able to save themselves from war, but they themselves are led [away] captive.
3 雅各家，以色列家一切餘剩的要聽我言： 你們自從生下，就蒙我保抱， 自從出胎，便蒙我懷搋。
Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of Israel, who are borne [by me] from the womb, and taught [by me] from infancy, [even] to old age:
4 直到你們年老，我仍這樣； 直到你們髮白，我仍懷搋。 我已造作，也必保抱； 我必懷抱，也必拯救。
I am [he]; and until ye shall have grown old, I am [he]: I bear you, I have made, and I will relieve, I will take up and save you.
5 你們將誰與我相比，與我同等， 可以與我比較，使我們相同呢？
To whom have ye compared me? see, consider, ye that go astray.
6 那從囊中抓金子， 用天平平銀子的人， 雇銀匠製造神像， 他們又俯伏，又叩拜。
They that furnish gold out of a purse, and silver by weight, will weigh it in a scale, and they hire a goldsmith and make idols, and bow down, and worship them.
7 他們將神像抬起，扛在肩上， 安置在定處，它就站立， 不離本位； 人呼求它，它不能答應， 也不能救人脫離患難。
They bear it upon the shoulder, and go; and if they put it upon its place, it remains, it cannot move: and whosoever shall cry to it, it cannot hear; it cannot save him from trouble.
8 你們當想念這事，自己作大丈夫。 悖逆的人哪，要心裏思想。
Remember ye these things, and groan: repent, ye that have gone astray, return in your heart;
9 你們要追念上古的事。 因為我是上帝，並無別神； 我是上帝，再沒有能比我的。
and remember the former things [that were] of old: for I am God, and there is none other beside me,
10 我從起初指明末後的事， 從古時言明未成的事， 說：我的籌算必立定； 凡我所喜悅的，我必成就。
telling beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together: and I said, all my counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned:
11 我召鷙鳥從東方來， 召那成就我籌算的人從遠方來。 我已說出，也必成就； 我已謀定，也必做成。
calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned: I have spoken, and brought [him]; I have created and made [him]; I have brought him, and prospered his way.
12 你們這些心中頑梗、 遠離公義的，當聽我言。
Hearken to me, ye senseless ones, that are far from righteousness:
13 我使我的公義臨近，必不遠離。 我的救恩必不遲延； 我要為以色列－我的榮耀， 在錫安施行救恩。
I have brought near my righteousness, and I will not be slow with the salvation that is from me: I have given salvation in Sion to Israel for glory.
