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 is broken, Nebo is destroyed: their idols are put upon beasts and cattle, your burdens of heavy weight even unto weariness.
2 都一同彎腰屈身， 不能保全重馱， 自己倒被擄去。
They are consumed, and are broken together: they could not save him that carried them, and they themselves shall go into captivity.
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。
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried by my bowels, are borne up by my womb.
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。
Even to your old age I am the same, and to your grey hairs I will carry you: I have made you, and I will bear: I will carry and will save.
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 you likened me, and made me equal, and compared me, and made me like?
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。
You that contribute gold out of the bag, and weigh out silver in the scales: and hire a goldsmith to make a god: and they fall down and worship.
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 him on their shoulders and carry him, and set him in his piece, and he shall stand, and shall not stir out of his place. Yea, when they shall cry also unto him, he shall not hear: he shall not save them from tribulation.
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 this, and be ashamed: return, ye transgressors, to the 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。
Remember the former age, for I am God, and there is no God beside, neither is there the like to 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。
Who shew from the beginning the things that shall be at last, and from ancient times the things that as yet are not done, saying: My counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done:
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。
Who call a bird from the east, and from a far country the man of my own will, and I have spoken, and will bring it to pass: I have created, and I will do it.
12 你們這些心中頑梗、 遠離公義的，當聽我言。
Hear me, O ye hardhearted, who are far from justice.
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 my justice near, it shall not be afar off: and my salvation shall not tarry. I will give salvation in Sion, and my glory in Israel.
