Isaiah 42
1 Behold, My servant, I take hold on Him, My Chosen One—My soul has accepted, I have put My Spirit on Him, He brings forth judgment to nations.
看哪，我的仆人— 我所扶持所拣选、心里所喜悦的！ 我已将我的灵赐给他； 他必将公理传给外邦。
2 He does not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
他不喧嚷，不扬声， 也不使街上听见他的声音。
3 A bruised reed He does not break, And faded flax He does not quench, He brings forth judgment to truth.
压伤的芦苇，他不折断； 将残的灯火，他不吹灭。 他凭真实将公理传开。
4 He does not become weak nor bruised, Until He sets judgment in the earth, And islands wait with hope for His law.
他不灰心，也不丧胆， 直到他在地上设立公理； 海岛都等候他的训诲。
5 Thus said God, YHWH, Creating the heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.
创造诸天，铺张穹苍， 将地和地所出的一并铺开， 赐气息给地上的众人， 又赐灵性给行在其上之人的 神耶和华， 他如此说：
6 I, YHWH, called you in righteousness, And I lay hold on your hand, and keep you, And I give you for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.
我—耶和华凭公义召你， 必搀扶你的手，保守你， 使你作众民的中保， 作外邦人的光，
7 To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth the bound one from prison, Those sitting in darkness from the house of restraint.
开瞎子的眼， 领被囚的出牢狱， 领坐黑暗的出监牢。
8 I [am] YHWH, this [is] My Name, And I do not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to carved images.
我是耶和华，这是我的名； 我必不将我的荣耀归给假神， 也不将我的称赞归给雕刻的偶像。
9 The former things, behold, have come, And I am declaring new things, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
看哪，先前的事已经成就， 现在我将新事说明， 这事未发以先，我就说给你们听。
10 Sing a new song to YHWH, His praise from the end of the earth, You who are going down to the sea, and its fullness, Islands, and their inhabitants.
航海的和海中所有的， 海岛和其上的居民， 都当向耶和华唱新歌， 从地极赞美他。
11 The wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice], Kedar inhabits the villages, The inhabitants of Sela sing, They cry from the top of mountains.
旷野和其中的城邑， 并基达人居住的村庄都当扬声； 西拉的居民当欢呼， 在山顶上呐喊。
12 They ascribe to YHWH glory, And they declare His praise in the islands.
他们当将荣耀归给耶和华， 在海岛中传扬他的颂赞。
13 YHWH goes forth as a mighty one. He stirs up zeal as a man of war, He cries, indeed, He shrieks, He shows Himself mighty against His enemies.
耶和华必像勇士出去， 必像战士激动热心， 要喊叫，大声呐喊， 要用大力攻击仇敌。
14 I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain Myself, I cry out as a travailing woman, I desolate and swallow up together.
我许久闭口不言，静默不语； 现在我要喊叫，像产难的妇人； 我要急气而喘哮。
15 I make desolate mountains and hills, And I dry up all their herbs, And I have made rivers become islands, And I dry up ponds.
我要使大山小冈变为荒场， 使其上的花草都枯干； 我要使江河变为洲岛， 使水池都干涸。
16 And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, I cause them to tread in paths they have not known, I make a dark place become light before them, And unleveled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.
我要引瞎子行不认识的道， 领他们走不知道的路； 在他们面前使黑暗变为光明， 使弯曲变为平直。 这些事我都要行， 并不离弃他们。
17 Removed backward—utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a carved image, Those saying to a molten image, “You [are] our gods.”
倚靠雕刻的偶像， 对铸造的偶像说： 你是我们的神； 这等人要退后，全然蒙羞。
18 You deaf, hear; and you blind, look to see.
你们这耳聋的，听吧！ 你们这眼瞎的，看吧！ 使你们能看见。
19 Who [is] blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Indeed, blind, as the servant of YHWH?
谁比我的仆人眼瞎呢？ 谁比我差遣的使者耳聋呢？ 谁瞎眼像那与我和好的？ 谁瞎眼像耶和华的仆人呢？
20 Seeing many things, and you do not observe, Opening ears, and he does not hear.
你看见许多事却不领会， 耳朵开通却不听见。
21 YHWH has delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifies law, and makes honorable.
耶和华因自己公义的缘故， 喜欢使律法为大，为尊。
22 And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes—all of them, And they were hidden in houses of restraint, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, “Restore.”
但这百姓是被抢被夺的， 都牢笼在坑中，隐藏在狱里； 他们作掠物，无人拯救， 作掳物，无人说交还。
23 Who among you gives ear [to] this? Attends, and hears afterward?
你们中间谁肯侧耳听此， 谁肯留心而听，以防将来呢？
24 Who has given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not YHWH—He against whom we sinned? Indeed, they have not been willing to walk in His ways, Nor have they listened to His law.
谁将雅各交出当作掳物， 将以色列交给抢夺的呢？ 岂不是耶和华吗？ 就是我们所得罪的那位。 他们不肯遵行他的道， 也不听从他的训诲。
25 And He pours fury on him, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it sets him on fire all around, And he has not known, And it burns against him, and he does not lay it to heart!
所以，他将猛烈的怒气和争战的勇力 倾倒在以色列的身上。 在他四围如火着起，他还不知道， 烧着他，他也不介意。
