Isaiah 45
1 Thus saith the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue nations before his face, and to turn the backs of kings, and to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut.
我－耶和華所膏的塞魯士； 我攙扶他的右手， 使列國降伏在他面前。 我也要放鬆列王的腰帶， 使城門在他面前敞開， 不得關閉。 我對他如此說：
2 I will go before thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst the bars of iron.
我必在你前面行， 修平崎嶇之地。 我必打破銅門， 砍斷鐵閂。
3 And I will give thee hidden treasures, and the concealed riches of secret places: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel.
我要將暗中的寶物和隱密的財寶賜給你， 使你知道提名召你的， 就是我－耶和華、以色列的上帝。
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have made a likeness of thee, and thou hast not known me.
因我僕人雅各， 我所揀選以色列的緣故， 我就提名召你； 你雖不認識我， 我也加給你名號。
5 I am the Lord, and there is none else: there is no God, besides me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me:
我是耶和華，在我以外並沒有別神； 除了我以外再沒有上帝。 你雖不認識我， 我必給你束腰。
6 That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else:
從日出之地到日落之處 使人都知道除了我以外，沒有別神。 我是耶和華； 在我以外並沒有別神。
7 I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things.
我造光，又造暗； 我施平安，又降災禍； 造作這一切的是我－耶和華。
8 Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: I the Lord have created him.
諸天哪，自上而滴， 穹蒼降下公義； 地面開裂，產出救恩， 使公義一同發生； 這都是我－耶和華所造的。
9 Woe to him that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and thy work is without hands?
禍哉，那與造他的主爭論的！ 他不過是地上瓦片中的一塊瓦片。 泥土豈可對摶弄它的說：你做甚麼呢？ 所做的物豈可說：你沒有手呢？
10 Woe to him that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?
禍哉，那對父親說： 你生的是甚麼呢？ 或對母親說： 你產的是甚麼呢？
11 Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.
耶和華－以色列的聖者， 就是造就以色列的如此說： 將來的事，你們可以問我； 至於我的眾子，並我手的工作， 你們可以求我命定。
12 I made the earth: and I created man upon it: my hand stretched forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.
我造地，又造人在地上。 我親手鋪張諸天； 天上萬象也是我所命定的。
13 I have raised him up to justice, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and let go my captives, not for ransom, nor for presents, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
我憑公義興起塞魯士， 又要修直他一切道路。 他必建造我的城， 釋放我被擄的民； 不是為工價，也不是為賞賜。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
14 Thus saith the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabaim, men of stature shall come over to thee, and shall be thins: they shall walk after thee, they shall go bound with manacles: and they shall worship thee, and shall make supplication to thee: only in thee is God, and there is no God besides thee.
耶和華如此說： 埃及勞碌得來的和古實的貨物必歸你； 身量高大的西巴人必投降你，也要屬你。 他們必帶着鎖鍊過來隨從你， 又向你下拜，祈求你說： 上帝真在你們中間，此外再沒有別神； 再沒有別的上帝。
15 Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel the saviour.
救主－以色列的上帝啊， 你實在是自隱的上帝。
16 They are all confounded and ashamed: the forgers of errors are gone together into confusion.
凡製造偶像的都必抱愧蒙羞， 都要一同歸於慚愧。
17 Israel is saved in the Lord with as eternal salvation: you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever.
惟有以色列必蒙耶和華的拯救， 得永遠的救恩。 你們必不蒙羞，也不抱愧， 直到永世無盡。
18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: he did not create it in vain: he formed it to be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
創造諸天的耶和華， 製造成全大地的上帝， 他創造堅定大地， 並非使地荒涼， 是要給人居住。 他如此說： 我是耶和華，再沒有別神。
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I have not said to the seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things.
我沒有在隱密黑暗之地說話； 我沒有對雅各的後裔說： 你們尋求我是徒然的。 我－耶和華所講的是公義， 所說的是正直。
20 Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, ye that are saved of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, and pray to a god that cannot save.
你們從列國逃脫的人， 要一同聚集前來。 那些抬着雕刻木偶、 禱告不能救人之神的， 毫無知識。
21 Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.
你們要述說陳明你們的理， 讓他們彼此商議。 誰從古時指明？ 誰從上古述說？ 不是我－耶和華嗎？ 除了我以外，再沒有上帝； 我是公義的上帝，又是救主； 除了我以外，再沒有別神。
22 Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.
地極的人都當仰望我， 就必得救； 因為我是上帝，再沒有別神。
23 I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return: For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.
我指着自己起誓， 我口所出的話是憑公義，並不反回： 萬膝必向我跪拜； 萬口必憑我起誓。
24 Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.
人論我說， 公義、能力，惟獨在乎耶和華； 人都必歸向他。 凡向他發怒的必至蒙羞。
25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.
以色列的後裔都必因耶和華得稱為義， 並要誇耀。
