Isaiah 50
1 This is what the Lord says: Where's your mother's divorce certificate I gave her when I sent her away? Which of my creditors did I sell you to? Now look! You were sold because of your sins, and your mother was sent away because of your wrongdoing.
耶和华如此说： 我休你们的母亲， 休书在哪里呢？ 我将你们卖给我哪一个债主呢？ 你们被卖，是因你们的罪孽； 你们的母亲被休，是因你们的过犯。
2 When I came, why wasn't anyone there? When I called, why didn't anyone answer? Is it because I don't have the strength to save you, or the power to rescue you? Can't you see that if I order it, the sea will dry up? I can turn rivers into a desert. Their fish stink because they've died of thirst since there's no water.
我来的时候，为何无人等候呢？ 我呼唤的时候，为何无人答应呢？ 我的膀臂岂是缩短、不能救赎吗？ 我岂无拯救之力吗？ 看哪，我一斥责，海就干了； 我使江河变为旷野； 其中的鱼因无水腥臭，干渴而死。
3 I can make the heavens go dark, covering them with sackcloth like they're in mourning.
我使诸天以黑暗为衣服， 以麻布为遮盖。
4 The Lord God has given me the ability to teach others, to know how to encourage those who are exhausted with a word. He wakes me up every morning; he helps me listen as a disciple.
主耶和华赐我受教者的舌头， 使我知道怎样用言语扶助疲乏的人。 主每早晨提醒， 提醒我的耳朵， 使我能听，像受教者一样。
5 The Lord God has instructed me, and I haven't been rebellious and I haven't turned away.
主耶和华开通我的耳朵； 我并没有违背，也没有退后。
6 I offered my back for people to beat me and my cheeks for people to pull my beard. I didn't hide my face from their mocking and spitting.
人打我的背，我任他打； 人拔我腮颊的胡须，我由他拔； 人辱我，吐我，我并不掩面。
7 The Lord God helps me, so I haven't been disgraced. That's why I'm so determined, setting my face hard as stone, knowing I won't be humiliated.
主耶和华必帮助我， 所以我不抱愧。 我硬着脸面好像坚石； 我也知道我必不致蒙羞。
8 The one who vindicates me is close by, so who will bring charges against me? Let's stand to oppose one another! Come on, anyone who wants to accuse me!
称我为义的与我相近； 谁与我争论， 可以与我一同站立； 谁与我作对， 可以就近我来。
9 The Lord God defends me. Who is going to declare me guilty? Look! Those who try will fall apart like old clothing, eaten up by moths.
主耶和华要帮助我； 谁能定我有罪呢？ 他们都像衣服渐渐旧了， 为蛀虫所咬。
10 Who among you respects the Lord and obeys what his servant says? Who among you walks in darkness and doesn't have light? Let them trust in the Lord and put their confidence in God.
你们中间谁是敬畏耶和华、 听从他仆人之话的？ 这人行在暗中，没有亮光。 当倚靠耶和华的名， 仗赖自己的 神。
11 Beware all you who start a fire, who pick up blazing torches! Go ahead, walk in the light of your own fire and of the torches you yourselves have set alight! This is what you will receive from me: You are going to lie down in a place of suffering.
凡你们点火，用火把围绕自己的 可以行在你们的火焰里， 并你们所点的火把中。 这是我手所定的： 你们必躺在悲惨之中。
