Isaiah 42
1 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
看哪，我的僕人－ 我所扶持所揀選、心裏所喜悅的！ 我已將我的靈賜給他； 他必將公理傳給外邦。
2 He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
他不喧嚷，不揚聲， 也不使街上聽見他的聲音。
3 A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.
壓傷的蘆葦，他不折斷； 將殘的燈火，他不吹滅。 他憑真實將公理傳開。
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
他不灰心，也不喪膽， 直到他在地上設立公理； 海島都等候他的訓誨。
5 Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
創造諸天，鋪張穹蒼， 將地和地所出的一併鋪開， 賜氣息給地上的眾人， 又賜靈性給行在其上之人的上帝耶和華， 他如此說：
6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
我－耶和華憑公義召你， 必攙扶你的手，保守你， 使你作眾民的中保， 作外邦人的光，
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
開瞎子的眼， 領被囚的出牢獄， 領坐黑暗的出監牢。
8 I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.
我是耶和華，這是我的名； 我必不將我的榮耀歸給假神， 也不將我的稱讚歸給雕刻的偶像。
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.
看哪，先前的事已經成就， 現在我將新事說明， 這事未發以先，我就說給你們聽。
10 Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
航海的和海中所有的， 海島和其上的居民， 都當向耶和華唱新歌， 從地極讚美他。
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
曠野和其中的城邑， 並基達人居住的村莊都當揚聲； 西拉的居民當歡呼， 在山頂上吶喊。
12 Let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
他們當將榮耀歸給耶和華， 在海島中傳揚他的頌讚。
13 Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man; he will stir up [his] zeal like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout aloud; he will do mightily against his enemies.
耶和華必像勇士出去， 必像戰士激動熱心， 要喊叫，大聲吶喊， 要用大力攻擊仇敵。
14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: [now] will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together.
我許久閉口不言，靜默不語； 現在我要喊叫，像產難的婦人； 我要急氣而喘哮。
15 I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
我要使大山小岡變為荒場， 使其上的花草都枯乾； 我要使江河變為洲島， 使水池都乾涸。
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.
我要引瞎子行不認識的道， 領他們走不知道的路； 在他們面前使黑暗變為光明， 使彎曲變為平直。 這些事我都要行， 並不離棄他們。
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images, Ye are our gods.
倚靠雕刻的偶像， 對鑄造的偶像說： 你是我們的神； 這等人要退後，全然蒙羞。
18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
你們這耳聾的，聽吧！ 你們這眼瞎的，看吧！ 使你們能看見。
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I send? who is blind as he that is at peace [with me], and blind as Jehovah’s servant?
誰比我的僕人眼瞎呢？ 誰比我差遣的使者耳聾呢？ 誰瞎眼像那與我和好的？ 誰瞎眼像耶和華的僕人呢？
20 Thou seest many things, but thou observest not; his ears are open, but he heareth not.
你看見許多事卻不領會， 耳朵開通卻不聽見。
21 It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
耶和華因自己公義的緣故， 喜歡使律法為大，為尊。
22 But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
但這百姓是被搶被奪的， 都牢籠在坑中，隱藏在獄裏； 他們作掠物，無人拯救， 作擄物，無人說交還。
23 Who is there among you that will give ear to this? that will hearken and hear for the time to come?
你們中間誰肯側耳聽此， 誰肯留心而聽，以防將來呢？
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not Jehovah? he against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto his law.
誰將雅各交出當作擄物， 將以色列交給搶奪的呢？ 豈不是耶和華嗎？ 就是我們所得罪的那位。 他們不肯遵行他的道， 也不聽從他的訓誨。
25 Therefore he poured upon him the fierceness of his anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
所以，他將猛烈的怒氣和爭戰的勇力 傾倒在以色列的身上。 在他四圍如火着起，他還不知道， 燒着他，他也不介意。
