以賽亞書 54
1 你這不懷孕、不生養的要歌唱； 你這未曾經過產難的要發聲歌唱，揚聲歡呼； 因為沒有丈夫的比有丈夫的兒女更多。 這是耶和華說的。
Give praise, you who are barren and unable to conceive. Sing praise and make a joyful noise, you who have not given birth. For many are the children of the desolate, more so than of her who has a husband, says the Lord.
2 要擴張你帳幕之地， 張大你居所的幔子，不要限止； 要放長你的繩子， 堅固你的橛子。
Enlarge the place of your tent and extend the skins of your tabernacles, unsparingly. Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
3 因為你要向左向右開展； 你的後裔必得多國為業， 又使荒涼的城邑有人居住。
For you shall extend to the right and to the left. And your offspring shall inherit the nations, and you shall inhabit the desolate cities.
4 不要懼怕，因你必不致蒙羞； 也不要抱愧，因你必不致受辱。 你必忘記幼年的羞愧， 不再記念你寡居的羞辱。
Do not be afraid! For you will not be confounded, and you will not blush. And you will not be put to shame, because you shall forget the confusion of your youth, and you shall no longer remember the disgrace of your widowhood.
5 因為造你的是你的丈夫； 萬軍之耶和華是他的名。 救贖你的是以色列的聖者； 他必稱為全地之上帝。
For the One who made you will rule over you. The Lord of hosts is his name. And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, will be called the God of all the earth.
6 耶和華召你， 如召被離棄心中憂傷的妻， 就是幼年所娶被棄的妻。 這是你上帝所說的。
For the Lord has called you, like a woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, and like a wife rejected in her youth, said your God.
7 我離棄你不過片時， 卻要施大恩將你收回。
For a brief moment, I have forsaken you, and with great pities, I will gather you.
8 我的怒氣漲溢， 頃刻之間向你掩面， 卻要以永遠的慈愛憐恤你。 這是耶和華－你的救贖主說的。
In a moment of indignation, I have hidden my face from you, for a little while. But with everlasting mercy, I have taken pity on you, said your Redeemer, the Lord.
9 這事在我好像挪亞的洪水。 我怎樣起誓不再使挪亞的洪水漫過遍地， 我也照樣起誓不再向你發怒， 也不斥責你。
For me, it is just as in the days of Noah, to whom I swore that I would no longer bring in the waters of Noah over the earth. Thus have I sworn not to be angry with you, and not to rebuke you.
10 大山可以挪開， 小山可以遷移； 但我的慈愛必不離開你； 我平安的約也不遷移。 這是憐恤你的耶和華說的。
For the mountains will be moved, and the hills will tremble. But my mercy will not depart from you, and the covenant of my peace will not be shaken, said the Lord, who has compassion on you.
11 你這受困苦、被風飄蕩不得安慰的人哪， 我必以彩色安置你的石頭， 以藍寶石立定你的根基；
O poor little ones, convulsed by the tempest, away from any consolation! Behold, I will set your stones in order, and I will lay your foundation with sapphires,
12 又以紅寶石造你的女牆， 以紅玉造你的城門， 以寶石造你四圍的邊界。
and I will make your ramparts out of jasper, and your gates out of sculpted stones, and all your borders out of desirable stones.
13 你的兒女都要受耶和華的教訓； 你的兒女必大享平安。
All your children will be taught by the Lord. And great will be the peace of your children.
14 你必因公義得堅立， 必遠離欺壓，不致害怕； 你必遠離驚嚇，驚嚇必不臨近你。
And you will be founded in justice. Depart far from oppression, for you will not be afraid. And depart from terror, for it will not approach you.
15 即或有人聚集，卻不由於我； 凡聚集攻擊你的，必因你仆倒。
Behold, a settler will arrive, who was not with me, a certain new arrival will be joined to you.
16 吹噓炭火、打造合用器械的鐵匠是我所造； 殘害人、行毀滅的也是我所造。
Behold, I created the smith who fans the coals of the fire and produces an object by his work, and I have created the slayer who destroys.
17 凡為攻擊你造成的器械必不利用； 凡在審判時興起用舌攻擊你的， 你必定他為有罪。 這是耶和華僕人的產業， 是他們從我所得的義。 這是耶和華說的。
No object which has been formed to use against you will succeed. And every tongue that resists you in judgment, you shall judge. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and this is their justice with me, says the Lord.
