Isaiah 46
1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols are on the animals, and on the livestock: the things that you carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary.
彼勒屈身，尼波彎腰； 巴比倫的偶像馱在獸和牲畜上。 他們所抬的如今成了重馱， 使牲畜疲乏，
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they have gone into captivity.
都一同彎腰屈身， 不能保全重馱， 自己倒被擄去。
3 "Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne from their birth, that have been carried from the womb;
雅各家，以色列家一切餘剩的要聽我言： 你們自從生下，就蒙我保抱， 自從出胎，便蒙我懷搋。
4 and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
直到你們年老，我仍這樣； 直到你們髮白，我仍懷搋。 我已造作，也必保抱； 我必懷抱，也必拯救。
5 "To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
你們將誰與我相比，與我同等， 可以與我比較，使我們相同呢？
6 Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down—yes, they worship.
那從囊中抓金子， 用天平平銀子的人， 雇銀匠製造神像， 他們又俯伏，又叩拜。
7 They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
他們將神像抬起，扛在肩上， 安置在定處，它就站立， 不離本位； 人呼求它，它不能答應， 也不能救人脫離患難。
8 "Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, you transgressors.
你們當想念這事，自己作大丈夫。 悖逆的人哪，要心裏思想。
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me;
你們要追念上古的事。 因為我是上帝，並無別神； 我是上帝，再沒有能比我的。
10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
我從起初指明末後的事， 從古時言明未成的事， 說：我的籌算必立定； 凡我所喜悅的，我必成就。
11 calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.
我召鷙鳥從東方來， 召那成就我籌算的人從遠方來。 我已說出，也必成就； 我已謀定，也必做成。
12 Listen to me, you stubborn of heart, who are far from righteousness:
你們這些心中頑梗、 遠離公義的，當聽我言。
13 I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not wait; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
我使我的公義臨近，必不遠離。 我的救恩必不遲延； 我要為以色列－我的榮耀， 在錫安施行救恩。
