Isaiah 54

1 Rejoice, O barren that diddest not beare: breake forth into ioy and reioyce, thou that diddest not trauaile with childe: for the desolate hath moe children then the married wife, sayeth the Lord.

你这不怀孕、不生养的要歌唱； 你这未曾经过产难的要发声歌唱，扬声欢呼； 因为没有丈夫的比有丈夫的儿女更多。 这是耶和华说的。

2 Enlarge the place of thy tents, and let them spread out the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, stretch out thy cords and make fast thy stakes.

要扩张你帐幕之地， 张大你居所的幔子，不要限止； 要放长你的绳子， 坚固你的橛子。

3 For thou shalt increase on the right hande and on the left, and thy seede shall possesse the Gentiles, and dwell in the desolate cities.

因为你要向左向右开展； 你的后裔必得多国为业， 又使荒凉的城邑有人居住。

4 Feare not: for thou shalt not be ashamed, neither shalt thou be confounded: for thou shalt not bee put to shame: yea, thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproch of thy widdowhoode any more.

不要惧怕，因你必不致蒙羞； 也不要抱愧，因你必不致受辱。 你必忘记幼年的羞愧， 不再记念你寡居的羞辱。

5 For hee that made thee, is thine husband (whose Name is the Lord of hostes) and thy redeemer the Holy one of Israel, shall be called the God of the whole world.

因为造你的是你的丈夫； 万军之耶和华是他的名。 救赎你的是以色列的圣者； 他必称为全地之 神。

6 For the Lord hath called thee, being as a woman forsaken, and afflicted in spirite, and as a yong wife when thou wast refused, sayth thy God.

耶和华召你， 如召被离弃心中忧伤的妻， 就是幼年所娶被弃的妻。 这是你 神所说的。

7 For a litle while haue I forsaken thee, but with great compassion will I gather thee.

我离弃你不过片时， 却要施大恩将你收回。

8 For a moment, in mine anger, I hid my face from thee for a litle season, but with euerlasting mercy haue I had compassion on thee, sayth the Lord thy redeemer.

我的怒气涨溢， 顷刻之间向你掩面， 却要以永远的慈爱怜恤你。 这是耶和华—你的救赎主说的。

9 For this is vnto me as the waters of Noah: for as I haue sworne that the waters of Noah should no more goe ouer the earth, so haue I sworne that I would not be angrie with thee, nor rebuke thee.

这事在我好像挪亚的洪水。 我怎样起誓不再使挪亚的洪水漫过遍地， 我也照样起誓不再向你发怒， 也不斥责你。

10 For the mountaines shall remoue and the hilles shall fall downe: but my mercy shall not depart from thee, neither shall the couenant of my peace fall away, saith the Lord, that hath compassion on thee.

大山可以挪开， 小山可以迁移； 但我的慈爱必不离开你； 我平安的约也不迁移。 这是怜恤你的耶和华说的。

11 O thou afflicted and tossed with tempest, that hast no comfort, beholde, I wil lay thy stones with the carbuncle, and lay thy foundation with saphirs,

你这受困苦、被风飘荡不得安慰的人哪， 我必以彩色安置你的石头， 以蓝宝石立定你的根基；

12 And I will make thy windowes of emeraudes, and thy gates shining stones, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

又以红宝石造你的女墙， 以红玉造你的城门， 以宝石造你四围的边界。

13 And all thy children shalbe taught of the Lord, and much peace shalbe to thy children.

你的儿女都要受耶和华的教训； 你的儿女必大享平安。

14 In righteousnes shalt thou be established, and be farre from oppression: for thou shalt not feare it: and from feare, for it shall not come neere thee.

你必因公义得坚立， 必远离欺压，不致害怕； 你必远离惊吓，惊吓必不临近你。

15 Beholde, the enemie shall gather himselfe, but without me: whosoeuer shall gather himselfe in thee, against thee, shall fall.

即或有人聚集，却不由于我； 凡聚集攻击你的，必因你仆倒。

16 Beholde, I haue created the smith that bloweth the coales in the fire, and him that bringeth forth an instrument for his worke, and I haue created the destroyer to destroy.

吹嘘炭火、打造合用器械的铁匠是我所造； 残害人、行毁灭的也是我所造。

17 But all the weapons that are made against thee, shall not prosper: and euery tongue that shall rise against thee in iudgement, thou shalt condemne. This is the heritage of the Lords seruants, and their righteousnesse is of me, sayth the Lord.

凡为攻击你造成的器械必不利用； 凡在审判时兴起用舌攻击你的， 你必定他为有罪。 这是耶和华仆人的产业， 是他们从我所得的义。 这是耶和华说的。
