Isaiah 45
1 Thus said Jehovah, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Yea, loins of kings I loose, To open before him two-leaved doors, Yea, gates are not shut:
我－耶和華所膏的塞魯士； 我攙扶他的右手， 使列國降伏在他面前。 我也要放鬆列王的腰帶， 使城門在他面前敞開， 不得關閉。 我對他如此說：
2 'I go before thee, and crooked places make straight, Two-leaved doors of brass I shiver, And bars of iron I cut asunder,
我必在你前面行， 修平崎嶇之地。 我必打破銅門， 砍斷鐵閂。
3 And have given to thee treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that thou knowest that I, Jehovah, Who am calling on thy name — [am] the God of Israel.
我要將暗中的寶物和隱密的財寶賜給你， 使你知道提名召你的， 就是我－耶和華、以色列的上帝。
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I call also thee by thy name, I surname thee, And thou hast not known Me.
因我僕人雅各， 我所揀選以色列的緣故， 我就提名召你； 你雖不認識我， 我也加給你名號。
5 I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else, Except Me there is no God, I gird thee, and thou hast not known Me.
我是耶和華，在我以外並沒有別神； 除了我以外再沒有上帝。 你雖不認識我， 我必給你束腰。
6 So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else,
從日出之地到日落之處 使人都知道除了我以外，沒有別神。 我是耶和華； 在我以外並沒有別神。
7 Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and preparing evil, I [am] Jehovah, doing all these things.'
我造光，又造暗； 我施平安，又降災禍； 造作這一切的是我－耶和華。
8 Drop, ye heavens, from above, And clouds do cause righteousness to flow, Earth openeth, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, Jehovah, have prepared it.
諸天哪，自上而滴， 穹蒼降下公義； 地面開裂，產出救恩， 使公義一同發生； 這都是我－耶和華所造的。
9 Woe [to] him who is striving with his Former, (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Doth clay say to its Framer, 'What dost thou?' And thy work, 'He hath no hands?'
禍哉，那與造他的主爭論的！ 他不過是地上瓦片中的一塊瓦片。 泥土豈可對摶弄它的說：你做甚麼呢？ 所做的物豈可說：你沒有手呢？
10 Woe [to] him who is saying to a father, 'What dost thou beget?' Or to a wife, 'What dost thou bring forth?
禍哉，那對父親說： 你生的是甚麼呢？ 或對母親說： 你產的是甚麼呢？
11 Thus said Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Yea, concerning the work of My hands, ye command Me.'
耶和華－以色列的聖者， 就是造就以色列的如此說： 將來的事，你們可以問我； 至於我的眾子，並我手的工作， 你們可以求我命定。
12 I made earth, and man on it prepared, I — My hands stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded.
我造地，又造人在地上。 我親手鋪張諸天； 天上萬象也是我所命定的。
13 I have stirred him up in righteousness, And all his ways I make straight, He doth build My city, and My captivity doth send out, Not for price, nor for bribe, said Jehovah of Hosts.
我憑公義興起塞魯士， 又要修直他一切道路。 他必建造我的城， 釋放我被擄的民； 不是為工價，也不是為賞賜。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
14 Thus said Jehovah, 'The labour of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim — men of measure, Unto thee pass over, and thine they are, After thee they go, in fetters they pass over, And unto thee they bow themselves, Unto thee they pray: Only in thee [is] God, And there is none else, no [other] God.
耶和華如此說： 埃及勞碌得來的和古實的貨物必歸你； 身量高大的西巴人必投降你，也要屬你。 他們必帶着鎖鍊過來隨從你， 又向你下拜，祈求你說： 上帝真在你們中間，此外再沒有別神； 再沒有別的上帝。
15 Surely Thou [art] a God hiding Thyself, God of Israel — Saviour!
救主－以色列的上帝啊， 你實在是自隱的上帝。
16 They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed — all of them, Together gone in confusion have those carving images.
凡製造偶像的都必抱愧蒙羞， 都要一同歸於慚愧。
17 Israel hath been saved in Jehovah, A salvation age-during! Ye are not ashamed nor confounded Unto the ages of eternity!
惟有以色列必蒙耶和華的拯救， 得永遠的救恩。 你們必不蒙羞，也不抱愧， 直到永世無盡。
18 For thus said Jehovah, Creator of heaven, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it — not empty He prepared it, For inhabiting He formed it: 'I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else.
創造諸天的耶和華， 製造成全大地的上帝， 他創造堅定大地， 並非使地荒涼， 是要給人居住。 他如此說： 我是耶和華，再沒有別神。
19 Not in secret have I spoken, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, In vain seek ye Me, I [am] Jehovah, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
我沒有在隱密黑暗之地說話； 我沒有對雅各的後裔說： 你們尋求我是徒然的。 我－耶和華所講的是公義， 所說的是正直。
20 Be gathered, and come in, Come nigh together, ye escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their graven image, And praying unto a god [that] saveth not.
你們從列國逃脫的人， 要一同聚集前來。 那些抬着雕刻木偶、 禱告不能救人之神的， 毫無知識。
21 Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time hath declared it? Is it not I — Jehovah? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save Me.
你們要述說陳明你們的理， 讓他們彼此商議。 誰從古時指明？ 誰從上古述說？ 不是我－耶和華嗎？ 除了我以外，再沒有上帝； 我是公義的上帝，又是救主； 除了我以外，再沒有別神。
22 Turn to Me, and be saved, all ends of the earth, For I [am] God, and there is none else.
地極的人都當仰望我， 就必得救； 因為我是上帝，再沒有別神。
23 By Myself I have sworn, Gone out from my mouth in righteousness hath a word, And it turneth not back, That to Me, bow doth every knee, every tongue swear.
我指着自己起誓， 我口所出的話是憑公義，並不反回： 萬膝必向我跪拜； 萬口必憑我起誓。
24 Only in Jehovah, said hath one, Have I righteousness and strength, Unto Him he cometh in, And ashamed are all those displeased with Him.
人論我說， 公義、能力，惟獨在乎耶和華； 人都必歸向他。 凡向他發怒的必至蒙羞。
25 In Jehovah are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.'
以色列的後裔都必因耶和華得稱為義， 並要誇耀。
