以賽亞書 50
1 耶和華如此說： 我休你們的母親， 休書在哪裏呢？ 我將你們賣給我哪一個債主呢？ 你們被賣，是因你們的罪孽； 你們的母親被休，是因你們的過犯。
This is what the Lord says: Where's your mother's divorce certificate I gave her when I sent her away? Which of my creditors did I sell you to? Now look! You were sold because of your sins, and your mother was sent away because of your wrongdoing.
2 我來的時候，為何無人等候呢？ 我呼喚的時候，為何無人答應呢？ 我的膀臂豈是縮短、不能救贖嗎？ 我豈無拯救之力嗎？ 看哪，我一斥責，海就乾了； 我使江河變為曠野； 其中的魚因無水腥臭，乾渴而死。
When I came, why wasn't anyone there? When I called, why didn't anyone answer? Is it because I don't have the strength to save you, or the power to rescue you? Can't you see that if I order it, the sea will dry up? I can turn rivers into a desert. Their fish stink because they've died of thirst since there's no water.
3 我使諸天以黑暗為衣服， 以麻布為遮蓋。
I can make the heavens go dark, covering them with sackcloth like they're in mourning.
4 主耶和華賜我受教者的舌頭， 使我知道怎樣用言語扶助疲乏的人。 主每早晨提醒， 提醒我的耳朵， 使我能聽，像受教者一樣。
The Lord God has given me the ability to teach others, to know how to encourage those who are exhausted with a word. He wakes me up every morning; he helps me listen as a disciple.
5 主耶和華開通我的耳朵； 我並沒有違背，也沒有退後。
The Lord God has instructed me, and I haven't been rebellious and I haven't turned away.
6 人打我的背，我任他打； 人拔我腮頰的鬍鬚，我由他拔； 人辱我，吐我，我並不掩面。
I offered my back for people to beat me and my cheeks for people to pull my beard. I didn't hide my face from their mocking and spitting.
7 主耶和華必幫助我， 所以我不抱愧。 我硬着臉面好像堅石； 我也知道我必不致蒙羞。
The Lord God helps me, so I haven't been disgraced. That's why I'm so determined, setting my face hard as stone, knowing I won't be humiliated.
8 稱我為義的與我相近； 誰與我爭論， 可以與我一同站立； 誰與我作對， 可以就近我來。
The one who vindicates me is close by, so who will bring charges against me? Let's stand to oppose one another! Come on, anyone who wants to accuse me!
9 主耶和華要幫助我； 誰能定我有罪呢？ 他們都像衣服漸漸舊了， 為蛀蟲所咬。
The Lord God defends me. Who is going to declare me guilty? Look! Those who try will fall apart like old clothing, eaten up by moths.
10 你們中間誰是敬畏耶和華、 聽從他僕人之話的？ 這人行在暗中，沒有亮光。 當倚靠耶和華的名， 仗賴自己的上帝。
Who among you respects the Lord and obeys what his servant says? Who among you walks in darkness and doesn't have light? Let them trust in the Lord and put their confidence in God.
11 凡你們點火，用火把圍繞自己的 可以行在你們的火焰裏， 並你們所點的火把中。 這是我手所定的： 你們必躺在悲慘之中。
Beware all you who start a fire, who pick up blazing torches! Go ahead, walk in the light of your own fire and of the torches you yourselves have set alight! This is what you will receive from me: You are going to lie down in a place of suffering.
