Isaiah 51
1 Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD; look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.
你們這追求公義、 尋求耶和華的，當聽我言！ 你們要追想被鑿而出的磐石， 被挖而出的巖穴。
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
要追想你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕 和生養你們的撒拉； 因為亞伯拉罕獨自一人的時候， 我選召他，賜福與他， 使他人數增多。
3 For the LORD hath comforted Zion; He hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
耶和華已經安慰錫安 和錫安一切的荒場， 使曠野像伊甸， 使沙漠像耶和華的園囿； 在其中必有歡喜、快樂、感謝， 和歌唱的聲音。
4 Attend unto Me, O My people, and give ear unto Me, O My nation; for instruction shall go forth from Me, and My right on a sudden for a light of the peoples.
我的百姓啊，要向我留心； 我的國民哪，要向我側耳； 因為訓誨必從我而出； 我必堅定我的公理為萬民之光。
5 My favour is near, My salvation is gone forth, and Mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for Me, and on Mine arm shall they trust.
我的公義臨近； 我的救恩發出。 我的膀臂要審判萬民； 海島都要等候我，倚賴我的膀臂。
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but My salvation shall be for ever, and My favour shall not be abolished.
你們要向天舉目， 觀看下地； 因為天必像煙雲消散， 地必如衣服漸漸舊了； 其上的居民也要如此死亡。 惟有我的救恩永遠長存； 我的公義也不廢掉。
7 Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the taunt of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.
知道公義、將我訓誨存在心中的民， 要聽我言！ 不要怕人的辱罵， 也不要因人的毀謗驚惶。
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My favour shall be for ever, and My salvation unto all generations.
因為蛀蟲必咬他們，好像咬衣服； 蟲子必咬他們，如同咬羊絨。 惟有我的公義永遠長存， 我的救恩直到萬代。
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Art thou not it that hewed Rahab in pieces, that pierced the dragon?
耶和華的膀臂啊，興起！興起！ 以能力為衣穿上， 像古時的年日、上古的世代興起一樣。 從前砍碎拉哈伯、 刺透大魚的，不是你嗎？
10 Art thou not it that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
使海與深淵的水乾涸、 使海的深處變為贖民經過之路的， 不是你嗎？
11 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
耶和華救贖的民必歸回， 歌唱來到錫安； 永樂必歸到他們的頭上。 他們必得着歡喜快樂； 憂愁歎息盡都逃避。
12 I, even I, am He that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;
惟有我，是安慰你們的。 你是誰，竟怕那必死的人？ 怕那要變如草的世人？
13 And hast forgotten the LORD thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, as he maketh ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
卻忘記鋪張諸天、立定地基、 創造你的耶和華？ 又因欺壓者圖謀毀滅要發的暴怒， 整天害怕， 其實那欺壓者的暴怒在哪裏呢？
14 He that is bent down shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not go down dying into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
被擄去的快得釋放， 必不死而下坑； 他的食物也不致缺乏。
15 For I am the LORD thy God, who stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar; the LORD of hosts is His name.
我是耶和華－你的上帝－ 攪動大海，使海中的波浪匉訇－ 萬軍之耶和華是我的名。
16 And I have put My words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion: 'Thou art My people.'
我將我的話傳給你， 用我的手影遮蔽你， 為要栽定諸天，立定地基， 又對錫安說：你是我的百姓。
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; thou hast drunken the beaker, even the cup of staggering, and drained it.
耶路撒冷啊，興起！ 興起！站起來！ 你從耶和華手中喝了他忿怒之杯， 喝了那使人東倒西歪的爵，以致喝盡。
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
她所生育的諸子中，沒有一個引導她的； 她所養大的諸子中，沒有一個攙扶她的。
19 These two things are befallen thee; who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?
荒涼、毀滅、饑荒、刀兵， 這幾樣臨到你， 誰為你舉哀？ 我如何能安慰你呢？
20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
你的眾子發昏， 在各市口上躺臥， 好像黃羊在網羅之中， 都滿了耶和華的忿怒 －你上帝的斥責。
21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine;
因此，你這困苦卻非因酒而醉的， 要聽我言。
22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of His people: behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering; the beaker, even the cup of My fury, thou shalt no more drink it again;
你的主耶和華－ 就是為他百姓辨屈的上帝如此說： 看哪，我已將那使人東倒西歪的杯， 就是我忿怒的爵， 從你手中接過來； 你必不致再喝。
23 And I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; that have said to thy soul: 'Bow down, that we may go over'; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.
我必將這杯遞在苦待你的人手中； 他們曾對你說：你屈身， 由我們踐踏過去吧！ 你便以背為地， 好像街市，任人經過。
