< 以賽亞書 48 >

1 雅各家,稱為以色列名下, 從猶大水源出來的,當聽我言! 你們指着耶和華的名起誓, 提說以色列的上帝, 卻不憑誠實,不憑公義。
The hows of Jacob, that ben clepid bi the name of Israel, and yeden out of the watris of Juda, here these thingis, whiche sweren in the name of the Lord, and han mynde on God of Israel, not in treuthe, nether in riytfulnesse.
2 他們自稱為聖城的人, 所倚靠的是 名為萬軍之耶和華-以色列的上帝。
For thei ben clepid of the hooli citee, and ben stablischid on the God of Israel, the Lord of oostis is his name.
3 主說:早先的事,我從古時說明, 已經出了我的口, 也是我所指示的; 我忽然行做,事便成就。
Fro that tyme Y telde the former thingis, and tho yeden out of my mouth; and Y made tho knowun; sudenli Y wrouyte, and tho thingis camen.
4 因為我素來知道你是頑梗的- 你的頸項是鐵的; 你的額是銅的。
For Y wiste that thou art hard, and thi nol is a senewe of irun, and thi forhed is of bras.
5 所以,我從古時將這事給你說明, 在未成以先指示你, 免得你說:這些事是我的偶像所行的, 是我雕刻的偶像和我鑄造的偶像所命定的。
Y biforseide to thee fro that tyme, bifore that tho thingis camen, Y schewide to thee, lest perauenture thou woldist seie, Myn idols diden these thingis, and my grauun ymagis and my yotun
6 你已經聽見,現在要看見這一切; 你不說明嗎? 從今以後,我將新事, 就是你所不知道的隱密事指示你。
ymagis senten these thingis whiche thou herdist. Se thou alle thingis, but ye telden not. Y made herd newe thyngis to thee fro that tyme, and thingis ben kept whiche thou knowist not;
7 這事是現今造的,並非從古就有; 在今日以先,你也未曾聽見, 免得你說:這事我早已知道了。
now tho ben maad of nouyt, and not fro that tyme, and bifor the dai, and thou herdist not tho thingis; lest perauenture thou seie, Lo! Y knew tho thingis.
8 你未曾聽見,未曾知道; 你的耳朵從來未曾開通。 我原知道你行事極其詭詐, 你自從出胎以來, 便稱為悖逆的。
Nether thou herdist, nether thou knewist, nether thin eere was openyd fro that tyme; for Y woot, that thou trespassynge schal trespasse, and Y clepide thee a trespassour fro the wombe.
9 我為我的名暫且忍怒, 為我的頌讚向你容忍, 不將你剪除。
For my name Y schal make fer my strong veniaunce, and with my preysyng Y schal refreyne thee, lest thou perische.
10 我熬煉你,卻不像熬煉銀子; 你在苦難的爐中,我揀選你。
Lo! Y haue sode thee, but not as siluer; Y chees thee in the chymeney of pouert.
11 我為自己的緣故必行這事, 我焉能使我的名被褻瀆? 我必不將我的榮耀歸給假神。
Y schal do for me, that Y be not blasfemyd, and Y schal not yyue my glorie to another.
12 雅各-我所選召的以色列啊, 當聽我言: 我是耶和華, 我是首先的,也是末後的。
Jacob and Israel, whom Y clepe, here thou me; Y my silf, Y am the firste and Y am the laste.
13 我手立了地的根基; 我右手鋪張諸天; 我一招呼便都立住。
And myn hond foundide the erthe, and my riyt hond mat heuenes; Y schal clepe tho, and tho schulen stonde togidere.
14 你們都當聚集而聽, 他們內中誰說過這些事? 耶和華所愛的人必向巴比倫行他所喜悅的事; 他的膀臂也要加在迦勒底人身上。
Alle ye be gaderid togidere, and here; who of hem telde these thingis? The Lord louyde hym, he schal do his wille in Babiloyne, and his arm in Caldeis.
15 惟有我曾說過,我又選召他, 領他來,他的道路就必亨通。
Y, Y spak, and clepide hym; Y brouyte hym, and his weie was dressid.
16 你們要就近我來聽這話: 我從起頭並未曾在隱密處說話; 自從有這事,我就在那裏。 現在,主耶和華差遣我和他的靈來。
Neiye ye to me, and here ye these thingis; at the bigynnyng Y spak not in priuete; fro tyme, bifore that thingis weren maad, Y was there, and now the Lord God and his Spirit sente me.
17 耶和華-你的救贖主, 以色列的聖者如此說: 我是耶和華-你的上帝, 教訓你,使你得益處, 引導你所當行的路。
The Lord, thin ayen biere, the hooli of Israel, seith these thingis, Y am thi Lord God, techynge thee profitable thingis, and Y gouerne thee in the weie, wher ynne thou goist.
18 甚願你素來聽從我的命令! 你的平安就如河水; 你的公義就如海浪。
Y wolde that thou haddist perseyued my comaundementis, thi pees hadde be maad as flood, and thi riytfulnesse as the swolowis of the see;
19 你的後裔也必多如海沙; 你腹中所生的也必多如沙粒。 他的名在我面前必不剪除, 也不滅絕。
and thi seed hadde be as grauel, and the generacioun of thi wombe, as the litle stoonys therof; the name of it hadde not perischid, and hadde not be al to-brokun fro my face.
20 你們要從巴比倫出來, 從迦勒底人中逃脫, 以歡呼的聲音傳揚說: 耶和華救贖了他的僕人雅各! 你們要將這事宣揚到地極。
Go ye out of Babiloyne, fle ye fro Caldeis; telle ye in the vois of ful out ioiying; make ye this herd, and bere ye it `til to the laste partis of erthe; seie ye, The Lord ayenbouyte his seruaunt Jacob.
21 耶和華引導他們經過沙漠。 他們並不乾渴; 他為他們使水從磐石而流, 分裂磐石,水就湧出。
Thei thirstiden not in desert, whanne he ladde hem out; he brouyte forth to hem watir of a stoon, and he departide the stoon, and watris flowiden.
22 耶和華說: 惡人必不得平安!
Pees is not to wickid men, seith the Lord.
