< 以賽亞書 49 >

1 眾海島啊,當聽我言! 遠方的眾民哪,留心而聽! 自我出胎,耶和華就選召我; 自出母腹,他就提我的名。
Ilis, here ye, and puplis afer, perseyue ye; the Lord clepide me fro the wombe, he thouyte on my name fro the wombe of my modir.
2 他使我的口如快刀, 將我藏在他手蔭之下; 又使我成為磨亮的箭, 將我藏在他箭袋之中;
And he hath set my mouth as a scharp swerd, he defendide me in the schadewe of his hond, and settide me as a chosun arowe; he hidde me in his arowe caas,
3 對我說:你是我的僕人以色列; 我必因你得榮耀。
and seide to me, Israel, thou art my seruaunt, for Y schal haue glorie in thee.
4 我卻說:我勞碌是徒然; 我盡力是虛無虛空。 然而,我當得的理必在耶和華那裏; 我的賞賜必在我上帝那裏。
And Y seide, Y trauelide in veyn, Y wastide my strengthe with out cause, and veynli; therfor my doom is with the Lord, and my werk is with my God.
5 耶和華從我出胎,造就我作他的僕人, 要使雅各歸向他, 使以色列到他那裏聚集。 原來耶和華看我為尊貴; 我的上帝也成為我的力量。
And now the Lord, formynge me a seruaunt to hym silf fro the wombe, seith these thingis, that Y brynge ayen Jacob to hym. And Israel schal not be gaderid togidere; and Y am glorified in the iyen of the Lord, and my God is maad my strengthe.
6 現在他說:你作我的僕人, 使雅各眾支派復興, 使以色列中得保全的歸回尚為小事, 我還要使你作外邦人的光, 叫你施行我的救恩,直到地極。
And he seyde, It is litil, that thou be a seruaunt to me, to reise the lynages of Jacob, and to conuerte the drastis of Israel; Y yaf thee in to the liyt of hethene men, that thou be myn helthe `til to the laste part of erthe.
7 救贖主-以色列的聖者耶和華 對那被人所藐視、本國所憎惡、 官長所虐待的如此說: 君王要看見就站起, 首領也要下拜; 都因信實的耶和華, 就是揀選你-以色列的聖者。
The Lord, ayenbiere of Israel, the hooli therof, seith these thingis to a dispisable soule, and to a folk had in abhomynacioun, to the seruaunt of lordis, Kyngis schulen se, and princes schulen rise togidere, and schulen worschipe, for the Lord, for he is feithful, and for the hooli of Israel, that chees thee.
8 耶和華如此說: 在悅納的時候,我應允了你; 在拯救的日子,我濟助了你。 我要保護你, 使你作眾民的中保; 復興遍地, 使人承受荒涼之地為業。
The Lord seith these thingis, In a plesaunt tyme Y herde thee, and in the dai of helthe Y helpide thee; and Y kepte thee, and yaf thee in to a bonde of pees of the puple, that thou schuldist reise the erthe, and haue in possessioun eritagis, `that ben distried;
9 對那被捆綁的人說:出來吧! 對那在黑暗的人說:顯露吧! 他們在路上必得飲食, 在一切淨光的高處必有食物。
that thou schuldist seie to hem that ben boundun, Go ye out, and to hem that ben in derknessis, Be ye schewid. Thei schulen be fed on weies, and the lesewis of hem schulen be in alle pleyn thingis.
10 不飢不渴, 炎熱和烈日必不傷害他們; 因為憐恤他們的必引導他們, 領他們到水泉旁邊。
Thei schulen not hungre, and thei schulen no more thirste, and heete, and the sunne schal not smyte hem; for the merciful doere of hem schal gouerne hem, and schal yyue drynk to hem at the wellis of watris.
11 我必使我的眾山成為大道; 我的大路也被修高。
And Y schal sette alle myn hillis in to weie, and my pathis schulen be enhaunsid.
12 看哪,這些從遠方來; 這些從北方、從西方來; 這些從秦國來。
Lo! these men schulen come fro fer, and lo! thei schulen come fro the north, and see, and these fro the south lond.
13 諸天哪,應當歡呼! 大地啊,應當快樂! 眾山哪,應當發聲歌唱! 因為耶和華已經安慰他的百姓, 也要憐恤他困苦之民。
Heuenes, herie ye, and, thou erthe, make ful out ioie; hillis, synge ye hertli heriyng; for the Lord coumfortide his puple, and schal haue merci on hise pore men.
14 錫安說:耶和華離棄了我; 主忘記了我。
And Syon seide, The Lord hath forsake me, and the Lord hath foryete me.
15 婦人焉能忘記她吃奶的嬰孩, 不憐恤她所生的兒子? 即或有忘記的, 我卻不忘記你。
Whether a womman may foryete hir yonge child, that sche haue not merci on the sone of hir wombe? thouy sche foryetith, netheles Y schal not foryete thee.
16 看哪,我將你銘刻在我掌上; 你的牆垣常在我眼前。
Lo! Y haue write thee in myn hondis; thi wallis ben euer bifore myn iyen.
17 你的兒女必急速歸回; 毀壞你的,使你荒廢的,必都離你出去,
The bilderis ben comun; thei that distrien thee, and scateren, schulen go awei fro thee.
18 你舉目向四方觀看; 他們都聚集來到你這裏。 耶和華說:我指着我的永生起誓: 你必要以他們為妝飾佩戴, 以他們為華帶束腰,像新婦一樣。
Reise thin iyen in cumpas, and se; alle these men ben gaderid togidere, thei ben comun to thee. Y lyue, seith the Lord, for thou schalt be clothid with alle these as with an ournement, and thou as a spousesse schalt bynde hem to thee.
19 至於你荒廢淒涼之處, 並你被毀壞之地, 現今眾民居住必顯為太窄; 吞滅你的必離你遙遠。
For whi thi desertis, and thi wildirnessis, and the lond of thi fallyng now schulen be streit for enhabiteris; and thei schulen be dryuun awei fer, that swolewiden thee.
20 你必聽見喪子之後所生的兒女說: 這地方我居住太窄, 求你給我地方居住。
Yit the sones of thi bareynesse schulen seie in thin eeris, The place is streit to me, make thou a space to me for to dwelle.
21 那時你心裏必說:我既喪子獨居, 是被擄的,漂流在外。 誰給我生這些? 誰將這些養大呢? 撇下我一人獨居的時候, 這些在哪裏呢?
And thou schalt seie in thin herte, Who gendride these sones to me? Y am bareyn, not berynge child; Y am led ouer, and prisoner; and who nurschide these sones? Y am destitute, and aloone; and where weren these?
22 主耶和華如此說: 我必向列國舉手, 向萬民豎立大旗; 他們必將你的眾子懷中抱來, 將你的眾女肩上扛來。
The Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y reise myn hond to hethene men, and Y schal enhaunce my signe to puplis; and thei schulen brynge thi sones in armes, and thei schulen bere thi douytris on shuldris.
23 列王必作你的養父; 王后必作你的乳母。 他們必將臉伏地,向你下拜, 並舔你腳上的塵土。 你便知道我是耶和華; 等候我的必不致羞愧。
And kingis shulen be thi nurseris, and quenys shulen be thi nursis; with cheer cast doun in to erthe thei schulen worschipe thee, and thei schulen licke the dust of thi feet; and thou schalt wite, that Y am the Lord, on whom thei schulen not be schent, that abiden hym.
24 勇士搶去的豈能奪回? 該擄掠的豈能解救嗎?
Whether prey schal be takun awei fro a strong man? ether that that is takun of a stalworthe man, mai be saaf?
25 但耶和華如此說: 就是勇士所擄掠的,也可以奪回; 強暴人所搶的,也可以解救。 與你相爭的,我必與他相爭; 我要拯救你的兒女。
For the Lord seith these thingis, Sotheli and caitifte schal be takun awey fro the stronge man, and that that is takun awei of a stalworthe man, schal be saued. Forsothe Y schal deme hem, that demyden thee, and Y schal saue thi sones.
26 並且我必使那欺壓你的吃自己的肉, 也要以自己的血喝醉,好像喝甜酒一樣。 凡有血氣的必都知道我-耶和華是你的救主, 是你的救贖主,是雅各的大能者。
And Y schal fede thin enemyes with her fleischis, and thei schulen be greetli fillid with her blood as with must; and eche man schal wite, that Y am the Lord, sauynge thee, and thin ayenbiere, the strong of Jacob.
