Esias 45
1 Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
我—耶和华所膏的塞鲁士； 我搀扶他的右手， 使列国降伏在他面前。 我也要放松列王的腰带， 使城门在他面前敞开， 不得关闭。 我对他如此说：
2 I will go before you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
我必在你前面行， 修平崎岖之地。 我必打破铜门， 砍断铁闩。
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness, I will open to you hidden, unseen [treasures], that you may know that I, the Lord your God, that call you by name, am the God of Israel.
我要将暗中的宝物和隐密的财宝赐给你， 使你知道提名召你的， 就是我—耶和华、以色列的 神。
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call you by your name, and accept you: but you have not known me.
因我仆人雅各， 我所拣选以色列的缘故， 我就提名召你； 你虽不认识我， 我也加给你名号。
5 For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have not known me.
我是耶和华，在我以外并没有别神； 除了我以外再没有 神。 你虽不认识我， 我必给你束腰。
6 That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
从日出之地到日落之处 使人都知道除了我以外，没有别神。 我是耶和华； 在我以外并没有别神。
7 I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
我造光，又造暗； 我施平安，又降灾祸； 造作这一切的是我—耶和华。
8 Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created you.
诸天哪，自上而滴， 穹苍降下公义； 地面开裂，产出救恩， 使公义一同发生； 这都是我—耶和华所造的。
9 What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the plowman plow the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
祸哉，那与造他的主争论的！ 他不过是地上瓦片中的一块瓦片。 泥土岂可对抟弄他的说：你做什么呢？ 所做的物岂可说：你没有手呢？
10 As though one should say to [his] father, What will you beget me? and to his mother, What are you bringing forth?
祸哉，那对父亲说： 你生的是什么呢？ 或对母亲说： 你产的是什么呢？
11 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
耶和华—以色列的圣者， 就是造就以色列的如此说： 将来的事，你们可以问我； 至于我的众子，并我手的工作， 你们可以求我命定。
12 I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
我造地，又造人在地上。 我亲手铺张诸天； 天上万象也是我所命定的。
13 I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord of hosts.
我凭公义兴起塞鲁士， 又要修直他一切道路。 他必建造我的城， 释放我被掳的民； 不是为工价，也不是为赏赐。 这是万军之耶和华说的。
14 Thus says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for you]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall do obeisance to you, and make supplication to you: because God is in you; and there is no God beside you, [O Lord].
耶和华如此说： 埃及劳碌得来的和古实的货物必归你； 身量高大的西巴人必投降你，也要属你。 他们必带着锁链过来随从你， 又向你下拜，祈求你说： 神真在你们中间，此外再没有别神； 再没有别的 神。
15 For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
救主—以色列的 神啊， 你实在是自隐的 神。
16 All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: you isles, keep a feast to me.
凡制造偶像的都必抱愧蒙羞， 都要一同归于惭愧。
17 Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
惟有以色列必蒙耶和华的拯救， 得永远的救恩。 你们必不蒙羞，也不抱愧， 直到永世无尽。
18 Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
创造诸天的耶和华， 制造成全大地的 神， 他创造坚定大地， 并非使地荒凉， 是要给人居住。 他如此说： 我是耶和华，再没有别神。
19 I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
我没有在隐密黑暗之地说话； 我没有对雅各的后裔说： 你们寻求我是徒然的。 我—耶和华所讲的是公义， 所说的是正直。
20 Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, you that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
你们从列国逃脱的人， 要一同聚集前来。 那些抬着雕刻木偶、 祷告不能救人之神的， 毫无知识。
21 If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
你们要述说陈明你们的理， 让他们彼此商议。 谁从古时指明？ 谁从上古述说？ 不是我—耶和华吗？ 除了我以外，再没有 神； 我是公义的 神，又是救主； 除了我以外，再没有别神。
22 Turn you to me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
地极的人都当仰望我， 就必得救； 因为我是 神，再没有别神。
23 By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
我指着自己起誓， 我口所出的话是凭公义，并不反回： 万膝必向我跪拜； 万口必凭我起誓。
24 saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
人论我说， 公义、能力，惟独在乎耶和华； 人都必归向他。 凡向他发怒的必至蒙羞。
25 By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
以色列的后裔都必因耶和华得称为义， 并要夸耀。
