Isaiah 45
1 Thus said YHWH, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Indeed, I loose loins of kings, To open double doors before him, Indeed, gates are not shut:
上主這樣對他的受傅者居魯士說：－－我牽著他的右手，使他蹂躪他面前的列國，解除列王的腰帶；我在他前開啟城門，使門戶不再關閉－－「
2 “I go before you, and make crooked places straight, I shatter doors of bronze, And I cut bars of iron apart,
我要走在你前面，把岐嶇的路修平；我要把銅門打破，將鐵閂擊碎，
3 And have given to you treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that you know that I, YHWH, Who am calling on your name—[am] the God of Israel.
把隱藏的錢財和秘密的寶物賜給你，為叫你知道：是我上主，以色列的天主，提著你的名召叫了你。
4 For the sake of My servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I also call you by your name, I surname you, And you have not known Me.
為了我的僕人雅各伯和我揀選的以色列的緣故，我提著你的名召叫了你，給你起了這個稱號，縱然你還不認識我。
5 I [am] YHWH, and there is none else, There is no God except Me, I gird you, and you have not known Me.
我是上主，再沒有另一位；除我以外，沒有別的神；雖然你還不認識我，我卻武裝了你，
6 So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] YHWH, and there is none else,
為叫從日出到日落之地的人都知道：除我之外，再沒有另一位。我是上主，再沒有另一位；
7 Forming light, and creating darkness, Making peace, and creating calamity, I [am] YHWH, doing all these things.
是我造了光明，造了黑暗；造了幸福，降了災禍：是我上主造成了這一切。」
8 Drop, you heavens, from above, And clouds cause righteousness to flow, Earth opens, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, YHWH, have created it.
諸天，請由上滴下甘露，望雲彩降下仁義，願大地裂開生出救恩，願正義一同出生！我上主創造了這事。
9 Woe [to] him who is striving with his Former (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And your work, He has no hands?
禍哉，那與自己的製造者爭辯的！瓦器豈能與摶泥者爭辯﹖陶器豈能對陶工說：「你做的是什麼啊！」或說：「你手製的不精美！」
10 Woe [to] him who is saying to a father, What do you beget? Or to a wife, What do you bring forth?”
禍哉！那向父親說：「你為什麼生子﹖」或向母親說：「你為什麼生育」的人！
11 Thus said YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: “Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Indeed, concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.
以色列的聖者、安排將來的上主這樣說：「關於我子女的事，你們要質問我嗎﹖或者對我手中的工作，你們有所吩咐嗎！
12 I made earth, and created man on it, My hands stretched out the heavens, And I have commanded all their host.
是我造了大地，又造了地上的人；是我親手展開了諸天，佈置了天上的星辰；
13 I have stirred him up in righteousness, And I make all his ways straight, He builds My city, and sends out My captivity, Not for price, nor for bribe,” said YHWH of Hosts.
是我由於仁義喚起了他；我要修平他的道路，他要修建我的城池，遣回我的俘虜，而不索取贖金，也不要求報酬。」這是萬軍上主說的。
14 Thus said YHWH: “The labor of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Pass over to you, and they are yours, They go after you, they pass over in chains, And they bow themselves to you, They pray to you: Surely God [is] in you, And there is none else, no [other] God.”
上主這樣說：「埃及的工人，雇士的商人，以及色巴的巨人，都要過來，歸屬於你；他們都要帶著鎖鍊追隨你後；並俯伏在你面前，懇求你說：惟獨你這裏有天主，以外沒有別的神明。」
15 Surely You [are] a God hiding Yourself, God of Israel—Savior!
以色列的天主，救主！你真是隱密的天主。
16 They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed—all of them, Those carving images have gone together in confusion.
製造偶像的人必蒙羞受辱，一同歸於羞慚。
17 Israel has been saved in YHWH, A perpetual salvation! You are not ashamed nor confounded For all ages of eternity!
但以色列必因上主而得救，獲享永遠的救恩：你們不會蒙羞受辱，直到永遠。
18 For thus said YHWH, Creator of the heavens, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it—He did not create it empty, For He formed it to be inhabited: “I [am] YHWH, and there is none else.
因為那創造諸天的上主－－只有他是天主，是他創造、形成和奠定了大地：他並非創造了一團混沌，而是為使人居住纔造了它－－他這樣說：「我是上主，沒有另一位。
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me in vain, I [am] YHWH, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
我沒有在隱秘處或黑暗之地說過話，我沒有給雅各伯的子孫說過：你們徒然尋求了我！我上主，只說真實，惟講公理。
20 Be gathered, and come in, Come near together, you escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, And praying to a god [that] does not save.
列國的餘民！你們一起集合起來，一同前來罷！凡抬過偶像，敬拜過不能施救的神祇的，真是無知！
21 Declare, and bring near, Indeed, they take counsel together, Who has proclaimed this from of old? [Who] has declared it from that time? Is it not I—YHWH? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none except Me.
請你們陳述，請你們證明，也讓你們一同商量商量：是誰從古時就叫人聽到這事呢﹖是誰早已宣佈了呢﹖不是我，上主嗎！的確，除我以外，沒有別的神！除我以外，再沒有一個仁義的神和救主。
22 Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth, For I [am] God, and there is none else.
大地四極的人！你們歸依我，必能得救，因為只有我是天主，再沒有另一個。
23 I have sworn by Myself, A word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness, And it does not return, That to Me, every knee bows, every tongue swears.
我指著我自己起誓：真理一出我口，那話決不返回；人人都將向我屈膝，眾舌都要指著我起誓。
24 Only in YHWH, one has said, Do I have righteousness and strength, He comes to Him, And all those displeased with Him are ashamed.
人都要說：唯有在上主前有仁義和力量。凡向他發怒的，必要含羞地歸依他。
25 In YHWH are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.”
以色列所有的後裔，必要因上主獲勝誇耀。」
