< Isaiah 41 >

1 Iles, be stille to me, and folkis chaunge strengthe; neiye thei, and thanne speke thei; neiye we togidere to doom.
众海岛啊,当在我面前静默; 众民当从新得力, 都要近前来才可以说话, 我们可以彼此辩论。
2 Who reiside the iust man fro the eest, and clepide hym to sue hym silf? He schal yyue folkis in his siyt, and he schal welde kyngis; he schal yyue as dust to his swerd, and as stobil `that is rauyschid of the wynd, to his bowe.
谁从东方兴起一人, 凭公义召他来到脚前呢? 耶和华将列国交给他, 使他管辖君王, 把他们如灰尘交与他的刀, 如风吹的碎秸交与他的弓。
3 He schal pursue hem, he schal go in pees; a path schal not appere in hise feet.
他追赶他们, 走他所未走的道, 坦然前行。
4 Who wrouyte and dide these thingis? clepynge generaciouns at the bigynnyng. Y am the Lord; and Y am the firste and the laste.
谁行做成就这事, 从起初宣召历代呢? 就是我—耶和华! 我是首先的, 也与末后的同在。
5 Ilis sien, and dredden; the laste partis of erthe were astonyed; thei camen niy, and neiyiden.
海岛看见就都害怕; 地极也都战兢, 就近前来。
6 Ech man schal helpe his neiybore, and schal seie to his brother, Be thou coumfortid.
他们各人帮助邻舍, 各人对弟兄说:壮胆吧!
7 A smyth of metal smytynge with an hamer coumfortide him that polischyde, ethir made fair, in that tyme, seiynge, It is good, to glu; and he fastenede hym with nailis, that he schulde not be mouyd.
木匠勉励银匠, 用锤打光的勉励打砧的, 论焊工说,焊得好; 又用钉子钉稳,免得偶像动摇。
8 And thou, Israel, my seruaunte, Jacob, whom Y chees, the seed of Abraham, my frend, in whom Y took thee;
惟你以色列—我的仆人, 雅各—我所拣选的, 我朋友亚伯拉罕的后裔,
9 fro the laste partis of erthe, and fro the fer partis therof Y clepide thee; and Y seide to thee, Thou art my seruaunt; Y chees thee, and castide not awei thee.
你是我从地极所领来的, 从地角所召来的, 且对你说:你是我的仆人; 我拣选你,并不弃绝你。
10 Drede thou not, for Y am with thee; boowe thou not awei, for Y am thi God. Y coumfortide thee, and helpide thee; and the riythond of my iust man vp took thee.
你不要害怕,因为我与你同在; 不要惊惶,因为我是你的 神。 我必坚固你,我必帮助你; 我必用我公义的右手扶持你。
11 Lo! alle men schulen be schent, and schulen be aschamed, that fiyten ayens thee; thei schulen be as if thei ben not, and men schulen perische, that ayen seien thee.
凡向你发怒的必都抱愧蒙羞; 与你相争的必如无有,并要灭亡。
12 Thou schalt seke hem, and thou schalt not fynde thi rebel men; thei schulen be, as if thei ben not, and as the wastyng of a man fiytynge ayens thee.
与你争竞的,你要找他们也找不着; 与你争战的必如无有,成为虚无。
13 For Y am thi Lord God, takynge thin hond, and seiynge to thee, Drede thou not, Y helpide thee.
因为我耶和华— 你的 神必搀扶你的右手, 对你说:不要害怕! 我必帮助你。
14 Nyle thou, worm of Jacob, drede, ye that ben deed of Israel. Y helpide thee, seith the Lord, and thin ayen biere, the hooli of Israel.
你这虫雅各和你们以色列人, 不要害怕! 耶和华说:我必帮助你。 你的救赎主就是以色列的圣者。
15 Y haue set thee as a newe wayn threischynge, hauynge sawynge bilis; thou schalt threische mounteyns, and schalt make smal, and thou schalt sette litle hillis as dust.
看哪,我已使你成为 有快齿打粮的新器具; 你要把山岭打得粉碎, 使冈陵如同糠秕。
16 Thou schalt wyndewe hem, and the wynd schal take hem awei, and a whirlewynd schal scatere hem; and thou schalt make ful out ioie in the Lord, and thou schalt be glad in the hooli of Israel.
你要把它簸扬,风要吹去; 旋风要把它刮散。 你倒要以耶和华为喜乐, 以以色列的圣者为夸耀。
17 Nedi men and pore seken watris, and tho ben not; the tunge of hem driede for thirst. Y the Lord schal here hem, I God of Israel schal not forsake hem.
困苦穷乏人寻求水却没有; 他们因口渴,舌头干燥。 我—耶和华必应允他们; 我—以色列的 神必不离弃他们。
18 Y schal opene floodis in hiy hillis, and wellis in the myddis of feeldis; Y schal sette the desert in to poondis of watris, and the lond without weie in to ryuers of watris.
我要在净光的高处开江河, 在谷中开泉源; 我要使沙漠变为水池, 使干地变为涌泉。
19 Y schal yyue in wildirnesse a cedre, and a thorn, and a myrte tre, and the tre of an olyue; Y schal sette in the desert a fir tre, an elm, and a box tre togidere.
我要在旷野种上香柏树、 皂荚树、番石榴树,和野橄榄树。 我在沙漠要把松树、杉树, 并黄杨树一同栽植;
20 That thei se, and knowe, and bithenke, and vndurstonde togidere; that the hond of the Lord dide this thing, and the hooli of Israel made that of nouyt.
好叫人看见、知道、 思想、明白; 这是耶和华的手所做的, 是以色列的圣者所造的。
21 Make ye niy youre doom, seith the Lord; brynge ye, if in hap ye han ony thing, seith the kyng of Jacob.
耶和华对假神说: 你们要呈上你们的案件; 雅各的君说: 你们要声明你们确实的理由。
22 Neiy tho, and telle to vs, what euer thingis schulen come; telle ye the formere thingis that weren, and we schulen sette oure herte, and schulen wite; schewe ye to vs the laste thingis of hem, and tho thingis that schulen come.
可以声明,指示我们将来必遇的事, 说明先前的是什么事, 好叫我们思索,得知事的结局, 或者把将来的事指示我们。
23 Telle ye what thingis schulen come in tyme to comynge, and we schulen wite, that ye ben goddis; al so do ye wel, ethir yuele, if ye moun; and speke we, and see we togidere.
要说明后来的事, 好叫我们知道你们是神。 你们或降福,或降祸, 使我们惊奇,一同观看。
24 Lo! ye ben of nouyt, and youre werk is of that that is not; he that chees you, is abhomynacioun.
看哪,你们属乎虚无; 你们的作为也属乎虚空。 那选择你们的是可憎恶的。
25 I reiside fro the north, and he schal come fro the risyng of the sunne; he schal clepe my name. And he schal brynge magistratis as cley, and as a pottere defoulynge erthe.
我从北方兴起一人; 他是求告我名的, 从日出之地而来。 他必临到掌权的, 好像临到灰泥, 仿佛窑匠踹泥一样。
26 Who tolde fro the bigynnyng, that we wite, and fro the bigynnyng, that we seie, Thou art iust? noon is tellynge, nether biforseiynge, nether herynge youre wordis.
谁从起初指明这事,使我们知道呢? 谁从先前说明,使我们说他不错呢? 谁也没有指明; 谁也没有说明; 谁也没有听见你们的话。
27 The firste schal seie to Sion, Lo! Y am present; and Y schal yyue a gospellere to Jerusalem.
我首先对锡安说: 看哪,我要将一位报好信息的赐给耶路撒冷。
28 And Y siy, and noon was of these, that token councel, and he that was axid, answeride a word.
我看的时候并没有人; 我问的时候, 他们中间也没有谋士可以回答一句。
29 Lo! alle men ben vniust, and her werkis ben wynd and veyn; the symylacris of hem ben wynd, and voide thing.
看哪,他们和他们的工作都是虚空, 且是虚无。 他们所铸的偶像都是风, 都是虚的。
