Isaiah 54
1 “Shout for joy, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth in song and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,”
你这不怀孕、不生养的要歌唱； 你这未曾经过产难的要发声歌唱，扬声欢呼； 因为没有丈夫的比有丈夫的儿女更多。 这是耶和华说的。
2 “Enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes in deep.
要扩张你帐幕之地， 张大你居所的幔子，不要限止； 要放长你的绳子， 坚固你的橛子。
3 For you will spread out to the right and left; your descendants will dispossess the nations and inhabit the desolate cities.
因为你要向左向右开展； 你的后裔必得多国为业， 又使荒凉的城邑有人居住。
4 Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame; do not be intimidated, for you will not be humiliated. For you will forget the shame of your youth and will remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
不要惧怕，因你必不致蒙羞； 也不要抱愧，因你必不致受辱。 你必忘记幼年的羞愧， 不再记念你寡居的羞辱。
5 For your husband is your Maker— the LORD of Hosts is His name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth.
因为造你的是你的丈夫； 万军之耶和华是他的名。 救赎你的是以色列的圣者； 他必称为全地之 神。
6 For the LORD has called you back, like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit, like the rejected wife of one’s youth,” says your God.
耶和华召你， 如召被离弃心中忧伤的妻， 就是幼年所娶被弃的妻。 这是你 神所说的。
7 “For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you back.
我离弃你不过片时， 却要施大恩将你收回。
8 In a surge of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.
我的怒气涨溢， 顷刻之间向你掩面， 却要以永远的慈爱怜恤你。 这是耶和华—你的救赎主说的。
9 “For to Me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.
这事在我好像挪亚的洪水。 我怎样起誓不再使挪亚的洪水漫过遍地， 我也照样起誓不再向你发怒， 也不斥责你。
10 Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
大山可以挪开， 小山可以迁移； 但我的慈爱必不离开你； 我平安的约也不迁移。 这是怜恤你的耶和华说的。
11 “O afflicted city, lashed by storms, without solace, surely I will set your stones in antimony and lay your foundations with sapphires.
你这受困苦、被风飘荡不得安慰的人哪， 我必以彩色安置你的石头， 以蓝宝石立定你的根基；
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
又以红宝石造你的女墙， 以红玉造你的城门， 以宝石造你四围的边界。
13 Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their prosperity.
你的儿女都要受耶和华的教训； 你的儿女必大享平安。
14 In righteousness you will be established, far from oppression, for you will have no fear. Terror will be far removed, for it will not come near you.
你必因公义得坚立， 必远离欺压，不致害怕； 你必远离惊吓，惊吓必不临近你。
15 If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me; whoever assails you will fall before you.
即或有人聚集，却不由于我； 凡聚集攻击你的，必因你仆倒。
16 Behold, I have created the craftsman who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its task; and I have created the destroyer to wreak havoc.
吹嘘炭火、打造合用器械的铁匠是我所造； 残害人、行毁灭的也是我所造。
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,”
凡为攻击你造成的器械必不利用； 凡在审判时兴起用舌攻击你的， 你必定他为有罪。 这是耶和华仆人的产业， 是他们从我所得的义。 这是耶和华说的。
