Isaiah 49
1 Hear yee me, O yles, and hearken, yee people from farre. The Lord hath called me from the wombe, and made mention of my name from my mothers bellie.
众海岛啊，当听我言！ 远方的众民哪，留心而听！ 自我出胎，耶和华就选召我； 自出母腹，他就提我的名。
2 And hee hath made my mouth like a sharpe sworde: vnder the shadowe of his hande hath he hid mee, and made me a chosen shafte, and hid me in his quiuer,
他使我的口如快刀， 将我藏在他手荫之下； 又使我成为磨亮的箭， 将我藏在他箭袋之中；
3 And sayd vnto me, Thou art my seruaunt, Israel, for I will be glorious in thee.
对我说：你是我的仆人以色列； 我必因你得荣耀。
4 And I said, I haue labored in vaine: I haue spent my strength in vaine and for nothing: but my iudgement is with the Lord, and my woorke with my God.
我却说：我劳碌是徒然； 我尽力是虚无虚空。 然而，我当得的理必在耶和华那里； 我的赏赐必在我 神那里。
5 And now sayeth the Lord, that formed me from the wombe to be his seruaunt, that I may bring Iaakob againe to him (though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I bee glorious in the eyes of the Lord: and my God shall be my strength)
耶和华从我出胎，造就我作他的仆人， 要使雅各归向他， 使以色列到他那里聚集。 原来耶和华看我为尊贵； 我的 神也成为我的力量。
6 And hee sayde, It is a small thing that thou shouldest be my seruaunt, to raise vp the tribes of Iaakob, and to restore the desolations of Israel: I will also giue thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou maiest bee my saluation vnto the ende of the worlde.
现在他说：你作我的仆人， 使雅各众支派复兴， 使以色列中得保全的归回尚为小事， 我还要使你作外邦人的光， 叫你施行我的救恩，直到地极。
7 Thus sayeth the Lord the redeemer of Israel, and his Holie one, to him that is despised in soule, to a nation that is abhorred, to a seruaunt of rulers, Kinges shall see, and arise, and princes shall worship, because of the Lord, that is faithfull: and ye Holy one of Israel, which hath chosen thee.
救赎主—以色列的圣者耶和华 对那被人所藐视、本国所憎恶、 官长所虐待的如此说： 君王要看见就站起， 首领也要下拜； 都因信实的耶和华， 就是拣选你—以色列的圣者。
8 Thus sayeth the Lord, In an acceptable time haue I heard thee, and in a day of saluation haue I helped thee: and I will preserue thee, and wil giue thee for a couenant of ye people, that thou maiest raise vp the earth, and obtaine the inheritance of the desolate heritages:
耶和华如此说： 在悦纳的时候，我应允了你； 在拯救的日子，我济助了你。 我要保护你， 使你作众民的中保； 复兴遍地， 使人承受荒凉之地为业。
9 That thou maiest say to the prisoners, Goe foorth: and to them that are in darkenesse, Shewe your selues: they shall feede in the waies, and their pastures shall bee in all the toppes of the hilles.
对那被捆绑的人说：出来吧！ 对那在黑暗的人说：显露吧！ 他们在路上必得饮食， 在一切净光的高处必有食物。
10 They shall not be hungrie, neither shall they be thirstie, neither shall the heat smite them, nor the sunne: for he that hath compassion on them, shall leade them: euen to the springs of waters shall he driue them.
不饥不渴， 炎热和烈日必不伤害他们； 因为怜恤他们的必引导他们， 领他们到水泉旁边。
11 And I will make all my mountaines, as a way, and my paths shalbe exalted.
我必使我的众山成为大道； 我的大路也被修高。
12 Beholde, these shall come from farre: and loe, these from the North and from the West, and these from the land of Sinim.
看哪，这些从远方来； 这些从北方、从西方来； 这些从秦国来。
13 Reioyce, O heauens: and bee ioyfull, O earth: brast foorth into praise, O mountaines: for God hath comforted his people, and will haue mercie vpon his afflicted.
诸天哪，应当欢呼！ 大地啊，应当快乐！ 众山哪，应当发声歌唱！ 因为耶和华已经安慰他的百姓， 也要怜恤他困苦之民。
14 But Zion saide, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
锡安说：耶和华离弃了我； 主忘记了我。
15 Can a woman forget her childe, and not haue compassion on the sonne of her wombe? though they should forget, yet wil I not forget thee.
妇人焉能忘记她吃奶的婴孩， 不怜恤她所生的儿子？ 即或有忘记的， 我却不忘记你。
16 Behold, I haue grauen thee vpon the palme of mine hands: thy walles are euer in my sight.
看哪，我将你铭刻在我掌上； 你的墙垣常在我眼前。
17 Thy builders make haste: thy destroiers and they that made thee waste, are departed from thee.
你的儿女必急速归回； 毁坏你的，使你荒废的，必都离你出去，
18 Lift vp thine eies round about and behold: all these gather themselues together and come to thee: as I liue, sayeth the Lord, thou shalt surely put them all vpon thee as a garment, and girde thy selfe with them like a bride.
你举目向四方观看； 他们都聚集来到你这里。 耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓： 你必要以他们为妆饰佩戴， 以他们为华带束腰，像新妇一样。
19 For thy desolations, and thy waste places, and thy land destroied, shall surely be now narow for them that shall dwell in it, and they that did deuoure thee, shalbe farre away.
至于你荒废凄凉之处， 并你被毁坏之地， 现今众民居住必显为太窄； 吞灭你的必离你遥远。
20 The children of thy barennesse shall say againe in thine eares, The place is straict for mee: giue place to me that I may dwell.
你必听见丧子之后所生的儿女说： 这地方我居住太窄， 求你给我地方居住。
21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten mee these, seeing I am baren and desolate, a captiue and a wanderer to and from? and who hath nourished them? beholde, I was left alone: whence are these?
那时你心里必说：我既丧子独居， 是被掳的，漂流在外。 谁给我生这些？ 谁将这些养大呢？ 撇下我一人独居的时候， 这些在哪里呢？
22 Thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will lift vp mine hande to the Gentiles and set vp my stadart to the people, and they shall bring thy sonnes in their armes: and thy daughters shall be caried vpon their shoulders.
主耶和华如此说： 我必向列国举手， 向万民竖立大旗； 他们必将你的众子怀中抱来， 将你的众女肩上扛来。
23 And Kings shalbe thy nourcing fathers, and Queenes shalbe thy nources: they shall worship thee with their faces towarde the earth, and licke vp the dust of thy feete: and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that waite for me.
列王必作你的养父； 王后必作你的乳母。 他们必将脸伏地，向你下拜， 并舔你脚上的尘土。 你便知道我是耶和华； 等候我的必不致羞愧。
24 Shall the pray be taken from the mightie? or the iust captiuitie deliuered?
勇士抢去的岂能夺回？ 该掳掠的岂能解救吗？
25 But thus sayeth the Lord, euen the captiuitie of the mightie shall be taken away: and the pray of the tyrant shall be deliuered: for I wil contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will saue thy children,
但耶和华如此说： 就是勇士所掳掠的，也可以夺回； 强暴人所抢的，也可以解救。 与你相争的，我必与他相争； 我要拯救你的儿女。
26 And will feede them that spoile thee, with their owne flesh, and they shall be drunken with their owne bloode, as with sweete wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy sauiour and thy redeemer, the mighty one of Iaakob.
并且我必使那欺压你的吃自己的肉， 也要以自己的血喝醉，好像喝甜酒一样。 凡有血气的必都知道我—耶和华是你的救主， 是你的救赎主，是雅各的大能者。
