< Isaiah 50 >

1 Thus said YHWH: “Where [is] this—the bill of your mother’s divorce, Whom I sent away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Behold, you have been sold for your iniquities, And for your transgressions Your mother has been sent away.
耶和华如此说: 我休你们的母亲, 休书在哪里呢? 我将你们卖给我哪一个债主呢? 你们被卖,是因你们的罪孽; 你们的母亲被休,是因你们的过犯。
2 Why have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Has My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not power in Me to deliver? Behold, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stink, for there is no water, And die with thirst.
我来的时候,为何无人等候呢? 我呼唤的时候,为何无人答应呢? 我的膀臂岂是缩短、不能救赎吗? 我岂无拯救之力吗? 看哪,我一斥责,海就干了; 我使江河变为旷野; 其中的鱼因无水腥臭,干渴而死。
3 I clothe the heavens [with] blackness, And I make their covering sackcloth.”
我使诸天以黑暗为衣服, 以麻布为遮盖。
4 Lord YHWH has given to Me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary [by] a word, He awakens [Me] morning by morning, He awakens [My] ear to hear as taught ones.
主耶和华赐我受教者的舌头, 使我知道怎样用言语扶助疲乏的人。 主每早晨提醒, 提醒我的耳朵, 使我能听,像受教者一样。
5 Lord YHWH opened My ear, And I did not rebel—I did not move backward.
主耶和华开通我的耳朵; 我并没有违背,也没有退后。
6 I have given My back to those striking, And My cheeks to those plucking out, I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
人打我的背,我任他打; 人拔我腮颊的胡须,我由他拔; 人辱我,吐我,我并不掩面。
7 And Lord YHWH gives help to Me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set My face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed.
主耶和华必帮助我, 所以我不抱愧。 我硬着脸面好像坚石; 我也知道我必不致蒙羞。
8 Near [is] He who is justifying Me, Who contends with Me? We stand together, who [is] My opponent? Let him come near to Me.
称我为义的与我相近; 谁与我争论, 可以与我一同站立; 谁与我作对, 可以就近我来。
9 Behold, Lord YHWH gives help to Me, Who [is] he that declares Me wicked? Behold, all of them wear out as a garment, A moth eats them.
主耶和华要帮助我; 谁能定我有罪呢? 他们都像衣服渐渐旧了, 为蛀虫所咬。
10 “Who [is] among you, fearing YHWH, Listening to the voice of His Servant, That has walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the Name of YHWH, And lean on his God.
你们中间谁是敬畏耶和华、 听从他仆人之话的? 这人行在暗中,没有亮光。 当倚靠耶和华的名, 仗赖自己的 神。
11 Behold, all you kindling a fire, girding on sparks, Walk in the light of your fire, And in the sparks you have caused to burn, This has been to you from My hand, You lie down in grief!”
凡你们点火,用火把围绕自己的 可以行在你们的火焰里, 并你们所点的火把中。 这是我手所定的: 你们必躺在悲惨之中。
