Isaiah 46
1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle; the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
彼勒屈身，尼波弯腰； 巴比伦的偶像驮在兽和牲畜上。 他们所抬的如今成了重驮， 使牲畜疲乏，
2 They stoop, they bow down together, they could not deliver the burden; and themselves are gone into captivity.
都一同弯腰屈身， 不能保全重驮， 自己倒被掳去。
3 Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are carried from the womb:
雅各家，以色列家一切余剩的要听我言： 你们自从生下，就蒙我保抱， 自从出胎，便蒙我怀搋。
4 Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
直到你们年老，我仍这样； 直到你们发白，我仍怀搋。 我已造作，也必保抱； 我必怀抱，也必拯救。
5 To whom will ye liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be like?
你们将谁与我相比，与我同等， 可以与我比较，使我们相同呢？
6 Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to worship.
那从囊中抓金子， 用天平平银子的人， 雇银匠制造神像， 他们又俯伏，又叩拜。
7 He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
他们将神像抬起，扛在肩上， 安置在定处，它就站立， 不离本位； 人呼求它，它不能答应， 也不能救人脱离患难。
8 Remember this, and stand fast; bring it to mind, O ye transgressors.
你们当想念这事，自己作大丈夫。 悖逆的人哪，要心里思想。
9 Remember the former things of old: that I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me;
你们要追念上古的事。 因为我是 神，并无别神； 我是 神，再没有能比我的。
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and all My pleasure will I do';
我从起初指明末后的事， 从古时言明未成的事， 说：我的筹算必立定； 凡我所喜悦的，我必成就。
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of My counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass, I have purposed, I will also do it.
我召鸷鸟从东方来， 召那成就我筹算的人从远方来。 我已说出，也必成就； 我已谋定，也必做成。
12 Hearken unto Me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
你们这些心中顽梗、 远离公义的，当听我言。
13 I bring near My righteousness, it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.
我使我的公义临近，必不远离。 我的救恩必不迟延； 我要为以色列—我的荣耀， 在锡安施行救恩。
