< 以賽亞書 52 >
1 錫安哪,興起!興起! 披上你的能力! 聖城耶路撒冷啊,穿上你華美的衣服! 因為從今以後, 未受割禮、不潔淨的必不再進入你中間。
Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
2 耶路撒冷啊,要抖下塵土! 起來坐在位上! 錫安被擄的居民哪, 要解開你頸項的鎖鍊!
Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
3 耶和華如此說:「你們是無價被賣的,也必無銀被贖。
For the LORD says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”
4 主耶和華如此說:起先我的百姓下到埃及,在那裏寄居,又有亞述人無故欺壓他們。
For the Lord GOD says: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
5 耶和華說:我的百姓既是無價被擄去,如今我在這裏做甚麼呢?耶和華說:轄制他們的人呼叫,我的名整天受褻瀆。
“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says the LORD, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says the LORD, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6 所以,我的百姓必知道我的名;到那日他們必知道說這話的就是我。看哪,是我!」
Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”
7 那報佳音,傳平安, 報好信,傳救恩的, 對錫安說:你的上帝作王了! 這人的腳登山何等佳美!
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 聽啊,你守望之人的聲音, 他們揚起聲來,一同歌唱; 因為耶和華歸回錫安的時候, 他們必親眼看見。
Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when the LORD returns to Zion.
9 耶路撒冷的荒場啊, 要發起歡聲,一同歌唱; 因為耶和華安慰了他的百姓, 救贖了耶路撒冷。
Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 耶和華在萬國眼前露出聖臂; 地極的人都看見我們上帝的救恩了。
The LORD has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
11 你們離開吧!離開吧! 從巴比倫出來。 不要沾不潔淨的物; 要從其中出來。 你們扛抬耶和華器皿的人哪, 務要自潔。
Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry the LORD’s vessels.
12 你們出來必不致急忙, 也不致奔逃。 因為,耶和華必在你們前頭行; 以色列的上帝必作你們的後盾。
For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13 我的僕人行事必有智慧, 必被高舉上升, 且成為至高。
Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.
14 許多人因他驚奇; 他的面貌比別人憔悴; 他的形容比世人枯槁。
Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—
15 這樣,他必洗淨許多國民; 君王要向他閉口。 因所未曾傳與他們的,他們必看見; 未曾聽見的,他們要明白。
so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.
