以賽亞書 51
1 你們這追求公義、 尋求耶和華的，當聽我言！ 你們要追想被鑿而出的磐石， 被挖而出的巖穴。
Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock [whence] ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit [whence] ye were digged.
2 要追想你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕 和生養你們的撒拉； 因為亞伯拉罕獨自一人的時候， 我選召他，賜福與他， 使他人數增多。
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for I called him when he was alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.
3 耶和華已經安慰錫安 和錫安一切的荒場， 使曠野像伊甸， 使沙漠像耶和華的園囿； 在其中必有歡喜、快樂、感謝， 和歌唱的聲音。
For Jehovah shall comfort Zion, he shall comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah: gladness and joy shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of song.
4 我的百姓啊，要向我留心； 我的國民哪，要向我側耳； 因為訓誨必從我而出； 我必堅定我的公理為萬民之光。
Listen unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will establish my judgment for a light of the peoples.
5 我的公義臨近； 我的救恩發出。 我的膀臂要審判萬民； 海島都要等候我，倚賴我的膀臂。
My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples: the isles shall wait for me, and in mine arm shall they trust.
6 你們要向天舉目， 觀看下地； 因為天必像煙雲消散， 地必如衣服漸漸舊了； 其上的居民也要如此死亡。 惟有我的救恩永遠長存； 我的公義也不廢掉。
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 知道公義、將我訓誨存在心中的民， 要聽我言！ 不要怕人的辱罵， 也不要因人的毀謗驚惶。
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear not the reproach of men, and be not afraid of their revilings.
8 因為蛀蟲必咬他們，好像咬衣服； 蟲子必咬他們，如同咬羊絨。 惟有我的公義永遠長存， 我的救恩直到萬代。
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
9 耶和華的膀臂啊，興起！興起！ 以能力為衣穿上， 像古時的年日、上古的世代興起一樣。 從前砍碎拉哈伯、 刺透大魚的，不是你嗎？
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, [as in] the generations of passed ages. Is it not thou that hath hewn Rahab in pieces, [and] pierced the monster?
10 使海與深淵的水乾涸、 使海的深處變為贖民經過之路的， 不是你嗎？
Is it not thou that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 耶和華救贖的民必歸回， 歌唱來到錫安； 永樂必歸到他們的頭上。 他們必得着歡喜快樂； 憂愁歎息盡都逃避。
So the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come to Zion with singing; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12 惟有我，是安慰你們的。 你是誰，竟怕那必死的人？ 怕那要變如草的世人？
I, [even] I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou fearest a man that shall die, and the son of man that shall become as grass;
13 卻忘記鋪張諸天、立定地基、 創造你的耶和華？ 又因欺壓者圖謀毀滅要發的暴怒， 整天害怕， 其實那欺壓者的暴怒在哪裏呢？
and forgettest Jehovah thy Maker, who hath stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and thou art afraid continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepareth to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 被擄去的快得釋放， 必不死而下坑； 他的食物也不致缺乏。
He that is bowed down shall speedily be loosed, and he shall not die in the pit, nor shall his bread fail.
15 我是耶和華－你的上帝－ 攪動大海，使海中的波浪匉訇－ 萬軍之耶和華是我的名。
And I am Jehovah thy God, who raiseth the sea, so that its waves roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
16 我將我的話傳給你， 用我的手影遮蔽你， 為要栽定諸天，立定地基， 又對錫安說：你是我的百姓。
And I have put my words in thy mouth, and covered thee with the shadow of my hand, to plant the heavens, and to lay the foundations of the earth, and to say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
17 耶路撒冷啊，興起！ 興起！站起來！ 你從耶和華手中喝了他忿怒之杯， 喝了那使人東倒西歪的爵，以致喝盡。
Arouse thyself, arouse thyself, stand up, Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his fury. Thou hast drunk, hast drained out the goblet-cup of bewilderment:
18 她所生育的諸子中，沒有一個引導她的； 她所養大的諸子中，沒有一個攙扶她的。
— there is none to guide her among all the children that she hath brought forth; neither is there any to take her by the hand of all the children that she hath brought up.
19 荒涼、毀滅、饑荒、刀兵， 這幾樣臨到你， 誰為你舉哀？ 我如何能安慰你呢？
These two [things] are come unto thee; who will bemoan thee? — desolation and destruction, and famine and sword: how shall I comfort thee?
20 你的眾子發昏， 在各市口上躺臥， 好像黃羊在網羅之中， 都滿了耶和華的忿怒 －你上帝的斥責。
Thy children have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an oryx in a net: they are full of the fury of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.
21 因此，你這困苦卻非因酒而醉的， 要聽我言。
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22 你的主耶和華－ 就是為他百姓辨屈的上帝如此說： 看哪，我已將那使人東倒西歪的杯， 就是我忿怒的爵， 從你手中接過來； 你必不致再喝。
thus saith thy Lord, Jehovah, and thy God, who pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I take out of thy hand the cup of bewilderment, the goblet-cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
23 我必將這杯遞在苦待你的人手中； 他們曾對你說：你屈身， 由我們踐踏過去吧！ 你便以背為地， 好像街市，任人經過。
and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street to them that went over.
