Isaiah 51
1 Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look at the rock from which you were chiseled and to the quarry from which you were cut.
你们这追求公义、 寻求耶和华的，当听我言！ 你们要追想被凿而出的磐石， 被挖而出的岩穴。
2 Look at Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who bore you; for when he was a lone individual, I called him. I blessed him and made him many.
要追想你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕 和生养你们的撒拉； 因为亚伯拉罕独自一人的时候， 我选召他，赐福与他， 使他人数增多。
3 Yes, Yahweh will comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places; her wilderness he made like Eden, and her desert plains beside the Jordan River valley like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving, and the sound of singing.
耶和华已经安慰锡安 和锡安一切的荒场， 使旷野像伊甸， 使沙漠像耶和华的园囿； 在其中必有欢喜、快乐、感谢， 和歌唱的声音。
4 “Be attentive to me, my people; and listen to me, my people! For I will issue a decree, and I will make my justice to be a light for the nations.
我的百姓啊，要向我留心； 我的国民哪，要向我侧耳； 因为训诲必从我而出； 我必坚定我的公理为万民之光。
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation will go out, and my arm will judge the nations; the coastlands will wait for me; for my arm they will eagerly wait.
我的公义临近； 我的救恩发出。 我的膀臂要审判万民； 海岛都要等候我，倚赖我的膀臂。
6 Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look at the earth beneath, for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its inhabitants will die like flies. But my salvation will continue forever, and my righteousness will never stop working.
你们要向天举目， 观看下地； 因为天必像烟云消散， 地必如衣服渐渐旧了； 其上的居民也要如此死亡。 惟有我的救恩永远长存； 我的公义也不废掉。
7 Listen to me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your heart: Do not fear the insults of men, nor be disheartened by their abuse.
知道公义、将我训诲存在心中的民， 要听我言！ 不要怕人的辱骂， 也不要因人的毁谤惊惶。
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
因为蛀虫必咬他们，好像咬衣服； 虫子必咬他们，如同咬羊绒。 惟有我的公义永远长存， 我的救恩直到万代。
9 Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, arm of Yahweh. Awake as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not you who crushed Rahab, you who pierced the monster?
耶和华的膀臂啊，兴起！兴起！ 以能力为衣穿上， 像古时的年日、上古的世代兴起一样。 从前砍碎拉哈伯、 刺透大鱼的，不是你吗？
10 Did you not dry up the sea, the waters of the great deep, and make the depths of the sea into a way for the redeemed to pass through?
使海与深渊的水干涸、 使海的深处变为赎民经过之路的， 不是你吗？
11 The ransomed of Yahweh will return and come to Zion with cries of joy and with gladness forever on their heads; and gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and mourning will flee away.
耶和华救赎的民必归回， 歌唱来到锡安； 永乐必归到他们的头上。 他们必得着欢喜快乐； 忧愁叹息尽都逃避。
12 “I, I, am he who comforts you. Why are you afraid of men, who will die, the sons of mankind, who are made like grass?
惟有我，是安慰你们的。 你是谁，竟怕那必死的人？ 怕那要变如草的世人？
13 Why have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth? You are in constant dread every day because of the hot fury of the oppressor when he decides to destroy. Where is the fury of the oppressor?
却忘记铺张诸天、立定地基、 创造你的耶和华？ 又因欺压者图谋毁灭要发的暴怒， 整天害怕， 其实那欺压者的暴怒在哪里呢？
14 The one who is bent down, Yahweh will hurry to release; he will not die and go down to the pit, nor will he lack bread.
被掳去的快得释放， 必不死而下坑； 他的食物也不致缺乏。
15 For I am Yahweh your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is his name.
我是耶和华—你的 神— 搅动大海，使海中的波浪匉訇— 万军之耶和华是我的名。
16 I have placed my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, 'You are my people.'”
我将我的话传给你， 用我的手影遮蔽你， 为要栽定诸天，立定地基， 又对锡安说：你是我的百姓。
17 Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk out of the hand of Yahweh from the bowl of his anger; you who have drunk out of the bowl, down to the dregs from the cup of staggering.
耶路撒冷啊，兴起！ 兴起！站起来！ 你从耶和华手中喝了他忿怒之杯， 喝了那使人东倒西歪的爵，以致喝尽。
18 There is no one among all the sons she has born to guide her; there is no one among all the sons that she has raised to take her by the hand.
她所生育的诸子中，没有一个引导她的； 她所养大的诸子中，没有一个搀扶她的。
19 These two troubles happened to you—who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. Who will comfort you?
荒凉、毁灭、饥荒、刀兵， 这几样临到你， 谁为你举哀？ 我如何能安慰你呢？
20 Your sons have fainted; they lie at every street corner, like an antelope in a net; they are filled with the anger of Yahweh, the rebuke of your God.
你的众子发昏， 在各市口上躺卧， 好像黄羊在网罗之中， 都满了耶和华的忿怒 —你 神的斥责。
21 But now hear this, you oppressed one and drunken one, but not drunk with wine:
因此，你这困苦却非因酒而醉的， 要听我言。
22 Your Lord Yahweh, your God, who pleads the cause of his people, says this, “See, I have taken the cup of staggering from your hand— the bowl, which is the cup of my anger—so that you will not drink it again.
你的主耶和华— 就是为他百姓辨屈的 神如此说： 看哪，我已将那使人东倒西歪的杯， 就是我忿怒的爵， 从你手中接过来； 你必不致再喝。
23 I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, those who have said to you, 'Lie down, that we may walk over you'; you made your back like the ground and like the street for them to walk on.”
我必将这杯递在苦待你的人手中； 他们曾对你说：你屈身， 由我们践踏过去吧！ 你便以背为地， 好像街市，任人经过。
