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。
Adonai says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother was put away for your transgressions.
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。
Why, when I came, was there no one? when I called, why was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
3 我使諸天以黑暗為衣服， 以麻布為遮蓋。
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.”
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 Adonai has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to sh'ma ·hear obey· as those who are taught.
5 主耶和華開通我的耳朵； 我並沒有違背，也沒有退後。
The Lord Adonai has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious. I have not turned back.
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 gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from insult 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。
For the Lord Adonai will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
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。
He who declares me righteous me is near. Who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together. Who is my mishpat · adversary·? Let him come near to 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。
Behold, the Lord Adonai will help me! Who is he who will condemn me? Behold, they will all grow old like a garment. The moths will eat them up.
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 fears Adonai, and sh'ma ·hears obeys· the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in Adonai’s name, and rely on his 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。
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with torches around yourselves; walk in the flame of your fire, and among the torches that you have kindled. You will have this from my hand: You will lie down in sorrow.
