Isaiah 50
1 Thus sayeth the Lord, Where is that bill of your mothers diuorcement, whome I haue cast off? or who is the creditour to whome I solde you? Beholde, for your iniquities are yee solde, and because of your transgressions is your mother forsaken.
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 Wherefore came I, and there was no man? I called, and none answered: is mine hand so shortened, that it cannot helpe? or haue I no power to deliuer? Beholde, at my rebuke I drie vp the Sea: I make the floods desert: their fish rotteth for want of water, and dieth for thirst.
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 clothe the heauens with darkenesse, and make a sacke their couering.
我使诸天以黑暗为衣服， 以麻布为遮盖。
4 The Lord God hath giuen me a tongue of the learned, that I shoulde knowe to minister a woord in time to him that is weary: he will raise me vp in the morning: in the morning hee will waken mine eare to heare, as the learned.
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 hath opened mine eare and I was not rebellious, neither turned I backe.
主耶和华开通我的耳朵； 我并没有违背，也没有退后。
6 I gaue my backe vnto the smiters, and my cheekes to the nippers: I hidde not my face from shame 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 For the Lord God will helpe me, therefore shall I not bee confounded: therefore haue I set my face like a flint, and I knowe that I shall not be ashamed.
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 Hee is neere that iustifieth mee: who will contend with me? Let vs stande together: who is mine aduersarie? let him come neere to 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 Beholde, the Lord God will helpe me: who is he that can condemne me? loe, they shall waxe olde as a garment: the mothe shall eate them vp.
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 is among you that feareth the Lord? let him heare the voyce of his seruant: hee that walketh in darkenesse, and hath no light, let him trust in the Name of the Lord, and staye vpon his 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 Beholde, all you kindle a fire, and are compassed about with sparkes: walke in the light of your fire, and in the sparkes that ye haue kindled. This shall ye haue of mine hand: ye shall lye downe in sorowe.
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。
