Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant whom I uphold, mine elect [in whom] my soul delighteth! I will put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the nations.
看哪，我的仆人— 我所扶持所拣选、心里所喜悦的！ 我已将我的灵赐给他； 他必将公理传给外邦。
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
他不喧嚷，不扬声， 也不使街上听见他的声音。
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment according to truth.
压伤的芦苇，他不折断； 将残的灯火，他不吹灭。 他凭真实将公理传开。
4 He shall not faint nor be in haste, till he have set justice in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
他不灰心，也不丧胆， 直到他在地上设立公理； 海岛都等候他的训诲。
5 Thus saith God, Jehovah, he that created the heavens and stretched them out, he that spread forth the earth and its productions, he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
创造诸天，铺张穹苍， 将地和地所出的一并铺开， 赐气息给地上的众人， 又赐灵性给行在其上之人的 神耶和华， 他如此说：
6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will take hold of thy hand; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations,
我—耶和华凭公义召你， 必搀扶你的手，保守你， 使你作众民的中保， 作外邦人的光，
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring forth the prisoner from the prison, them that sit in darkness out of the house of restraint.
开瞎子的眼， 领被囚的出牢狱， 领坐黑暗的出监牢。
8 I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
我是耶和华，这是我的名； 我必不将我的荣耀归给假神， 也不将我的称赞归给雕刻的偶像。
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth will I cause you to hear them.
看哪，先前的事已经成就， 现在我将新事说明， 这事未发以先，我就说给你们听。
10 Sing unto Jehovah a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles and their inhabitants.
航海的和海中所有的， 海岛和其上的居民， 都当向耶和华唱新歌， 从地极赞美他。
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains:
旷野和其中的城邑， 并基达人居住的村庄都当扬声； 西拉的居民当欢呼， 在山顶上呐喊。
12 let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
他们当将荣耀归给耶和华， 在海岛中传扬他的颂赞。
13 Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man, he will stir up jealousy like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout; he will shew himself mighty against his enemies.
耶和华必像勇士出去， 必像战士激动热心， 要喊叫，大声呐喊， 要用大力攻击仇敌。
14 Long time have I holden my peace; I have been still, I have restrained myself: I will cry like a woman that travaileth; I will blow and pant at once.
我许久闭口不言，静默不语； 现在我要喊叫，像产难的妇人； 我要急气而喘哮。
15 I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
我要使大山小冈变为荒场， 使其上的花草都枯干； 我要使江河变为洲岛， 使水池都干涸。
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 things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
我要引瞎子行不认识的道， 领他们走不知道的路； 在他们面前使黑暗变为光明， 使弯曲变为平直。 这些事我都要行， 并不离弃他们。
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be covered with shame, that confide in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
倚靠雕刻的偶像， 对铸造的偶像说： 你是我们的神； 这等人要退后，全然蒙羞。
18 — Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
你们这耳聋的，听吧！ 你们这眼瞎的，看吧！ 使你们能看见。
19 Who is blind, but my servant? and deaf, as my messenger whom I sent? Who is blind as he in whom I have trusted, and blind as Jehovah's servant,
谁比我的仆人眼瞎呢？ 谁比我差遣的使者耳聋呢？ 谁瞎眼像那与我和好的？ 谁瞎眼像耶和华的仆人呢？
20 — seeing many things, and thou observest not? With opened ears, he heareth not.
你看见许多事却不领会， 耳朵开通却不听见。
21 Jehovah had delight [in him] for his righteousness' sake: he hath magnified the law, and made it honourable.
耶和华因自己公义的缘故， 喜欢使律法为大，为尊。
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and hidden in prison-houses; they are become a prey, and none delivereth, — a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
但这百姓是被抢被夺的， 都牢笼在坑中，隐藏在狱里； 他们作掠物，无人拯救， 作掳物，无人说交还。
23 Who among you will give ear to this, [who] will hearken and hear what is to come?
你们中间谁肯侧耳听此， 谁肯留心而听，以防将来呢？
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not Jehovah, he against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.
谁将雅各交出当作掳物， 将以色列交给抢夺的呢？ 岂不是耶和华吗？ 就是我们所得罪的那位。 他们不肯遵行他的道， 也不听从他的训诲。
25 And he hath poured upon him the fury 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 took it not to heart.
所以，他将猛烈的怒气和争战的勇力 倾倒在以色列的身上。 在他四围如火着起，他还不知道， 烧着他，他也不介意。
