Isaiah 45
1 Thus says the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, so that I may subjugate the nations before his face, and I may turn the backs of kings, and I may open the doors before him, and so that the gates will not be shut.
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 you. And I will humble the glorious ones of the earth. I will shatter the gates of brass, and I will break apart the bars of iron.
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 you hidden treasures and the knowledge of secret things, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls your name.
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 Jacob, my servant, and Israel, my elect, I have even called you by your name. I have taken you up, and you have 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 I am the Lord, and there is no one else. There is no god beside me. I girded you, and you have 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 So may those who are from the rising of the sun, and those who are from its setting, know that there is no one beside me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
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 form the light and create the darkness. I make peace and create disaster. I, the Lord, do 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 Send down dew from above, O heavens, and let the clouds rain down upon the just! Let the earth open and spring forth a savior! And let justice rise up at once! I, the Lord, have created him.
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 Woe to him who contradicts his Maker, a mere shard from an earthen vessel! Should the clay say to the potter, “What are you making?” or, “Your work is not made by your hands?”
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 Woe to him who says to his father, “Why did you conceive?” or to a woman, “Why did you give birth?”
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 Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Would you question me about the future, concerning my sons, and command me concerning the work of my hands?
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 made the earth, and I created man upon it. My hand stretched out the heavens, and I have commanded all their hosts.
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 unto justice, and I will direct all his ways. He himself will build my city and release my captives, but not for ransom or gifts, says the Lord, the God 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 says the Lord: The labor of Egypt, and the business dealings of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, will pass to you and will be yours. They will walk behind you. They will travel, bound in irons. And they will adore you and petition you: “In you alone is God, and there is no God apart from you.
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 Truly, you are a hidden God, the God of Israel, the Savior.”
以色列的天主，救主！你真是隱密的天主。
16 They have all been confounded and should be ashamed! These fabricators of errors have departed together into confusion!
製造偶像的人必蒙羞受辱，一同歸於羞慚。
17 Israel is saved in the Lord by an eternal salvation. You will not be confounded, and you will not be ashamed, even forever and ever.
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 For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, the very Molder of it. He did not create it to no purpose. He formed it so that it would be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
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, in a dark place of the earth. I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in vain.” I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.
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 approach, and draw near together, you who have been saved among the Gentiles. They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, and who petition a god unable to 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 Announce it, and approach, and consult together. Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except 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 All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved. For I am God, and there is no 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 I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, and it will not turn back. For every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall swear it.
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 Therefore, he will say, “In the Lord are my justices and my dominion.” They will go to him. And all who fight against him will be confounded.
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 In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel will be justified and praised.
以色列所有的後裔，必要因上主獲勝誇耀。」
