Esias 45
1 Thus saith the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
上主這樣對他的受傅者居魯士說：－－我牽著他的右手，使他蹂躪他面前的列國，解除列王的腰帶；我在他前開啟城門，使門戶不再關閉－－「
2 I will go before thee, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
我要走在你前面，把岐嶇的路修平；我要把銅門打破，將鐵閂擊碎，
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, I will open to thee hidden, unseen [treasures], that thou mayest know that I, the Lord thy God, that call thee by name, am the God of Israel.
把隱藏的錢財和秘密的寶物賜給你，為叫你知道：是我上主，以色列的天主，提著你的名召叫了你。
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call thee by thy name, and accept thee: but thou hast not known me.
為了我的僕人雅各伯和我揀選的以色列的緣故，我提著你的名召叫了你，給你起了這個稱號，縱然你還不認識我。
5 For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened thee, and thou hast not known me.
我是上主，再沒有另一位；除我以外，沒有別的神；雖然你還不認識我，我卻武裝了你，
6 That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
為叫從日出到日落之地的人都知道：除我之外，再沒有另一位。我是上主，再沒有另一位；
7 I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
是我造了光明，造了黑暗；造了幸福，降了災禍：是我上主造成了這一切。」
8 Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created thee.
諸天，請由上滴下甘露，望雲彩降下仁義，願大地裂開生出救恩，願正義一同出生！我上主創造了這事。
9 What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the ploughman plough the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What art thou doing that thou dost not work, nor hast hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
禍哉，那與自己的製造者爭辯的！瓦器豈能與摶泥者爭辯﹖陶器豈能對陶工說：「你做的是什麼啊！」或說：「你手製的不精美！」
10 As though one should say to [his] father, What wilt thou beget me? and to his mother, What art thou bringing forth?
禍哉！那向父親說：「你為什麼生子﹖」或向母親說：「你為什麼生育」的人！
11 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
以色列的聖者、安排將來的上主這樣說：「關於我子女的事，你們要質問我嗎﹖或者對我手中的工作，你們有所吩咐嗎！
12 I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
是我造了大地，又造了地上的人；是我親手展開了諸天，佈置了天上的星辰；
13 I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, saith the Lord of hosts.
是我由於仁義喚起了他；我要修平他的道路，他要修建我的城池，遣回我的俘虜，而不索取贖金，也不要求報酬。」這是萬軍上主說的。
14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for thee]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to thee, and shall be thy servants; and they shall follow after thee bound in fetters, and shall pass over to thee, and shall do obeisance to thee, and make supplication to thee: because God is in thee; and there is no God beside thee, [O Lord].
上主這樣說：「埃及的工人，雇士的商人，以及色巴的巨人，都要過來，歸屬於你；他們都要帶著鎖鍊追隨你後；並俯伏在你面前，懇求你說：惟獨你這裏有天主，以外沒有別的神明。」
15 For thou art God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
以色列的天主，救主！你真是隱密的天主。
16 All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: ye isles, keep a feast to me.
製造偶像的人必蒙羞受辱，一同歸於羞慚。
17 Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
但以色列必因上主而得救，獲享永遠的救恩：你們不會蒙羞受辱，直到永遠。
18 Thus saith the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
因為那創造諸天的上主－－只有他是天主，是他創造、形成和奠定了大地：他並非創造了一團混沌，而是為使人居住纔造了它－－他這樣說：「我是上主，沒有另一位。
19 I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
我沒有在隱秘處或黑暗之地說過話，我沒有給雅各伯的子孫說過：你們徒然尋求了我！我上主，只說真實，惟講公理。
20 Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, ye that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
列國的餘民！你們一起集合起來，一同前來罷！凡抬過偶像，敬拜過不能施救的神祇的，真是無知！
21 If they will declare, let them draw nigh, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
請你們陳述，請你們證明，也讓你們一同商量商量：是誰從古時就叫人聽到這事呢﹖是誰早已宣佈了呢﹖不是我，上主嗎！的確，除我以外，沒有別的神！除我以外，再沒有一個仁義的神和救主。
22 Turn ye to me, and ye shall be saved, ye that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
大地四極的人！你們歸依我，必能得救，因為只有我是天主，再沒有另一個。
23 By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
我指著我自己起誓：真理一出我口，那話決不返回；人人都將向我屈膝，眾舌都要指著我起誓。
24 saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
人都要說：唯有在上主前有仁義和力量。凡向他發怒的，必要含羞地歸依他。
25 By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
以色列所有的後裔，必要因上主獲勝誇耀。」
