Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the name of Jehovah, And of the God of Israel make mention, Not in truth nor in righteousness.
雅各家，称为以色列名下， 从犹大水源出来的，当听我言！ 你们指着耶和华的名起誓， 提说以色列的 神， 却不凭诚实，不凭公义。
2 For from the Holy City they have been called, And on the God of Israel been supported, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
他们自称为圣城的人， 所倚靠的是 名为万军之耶和华—以色列的 神。
3 The former things from that time I declared, And from my mouth they have gone forth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it cometh.
主说：早先的事，我从古时说明， 已经出了我的口， 也是我所指示的； 我忽然行做，事便成就。
4 From my knowing that thou art obstinate, And a sinew of iron thy neck, And thy forehead brass,
因为我素来知道你是顽梗的— 你的颈项是铁的； 你的额是铜的。
5 And I declare to thee from that time, Before it cometh I have caused thee to hear, Lest thou say, 'Mine idol hath done them, And my graven image, And my molten image did command them.
所以，我从古时将这事给你说明， 在未成以先指示你， 免得你说：这些事是我的偶像所行的， 是我雕刻的偶像和我铸造的偶像所命定的。
6 Thou hast heard, see the whole of it, And ye, do ye not declare? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that ye knew not.
你已经听见，现在要看见这一切； 你不说明吗？ 从今以后，我将新事， 就是你所不知道的隐密事指示你。
7 Now they have been produced and not from that time, Yea, before the day, and thou hast not heard them, Lest thou say, 'Lo, I have known them.'
这事是现今造的，并非从古就有； 在今日以先，你也未曾听见， 免得你说：这事我早已知道了。
8 Yea, thou hast not heard, Yea, thou hast not known, Yea, from that time not opened hath thine ear, For I have known thou dealest treacherously, And 'Transgressor from the belly,' One is crying to thee.
你未曾听见，未曾知道； 你的耳朵从来未曾开通。 我原知道你行事极其诡诈， 你自从出胎以来， 便称为悖逆的。
9 For My name's sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off.
我为我的名暂且忍怒， 为我的颂赞向你容忍， 不将你剪除。
10 Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee in a furnace of affliction.
我熬炼你，却不像熬炼银子； 你在苦难的炉中，我拣选你。
11 For My sake, for Mine own sake, I do [it], For how is it polluted? And Mine honour to another I give not.
我为自己的缘故必行这事， 我焉能使我的名被亵渎？ 我必不将我的荣耀归给假神。
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;
雅各—我所选召的以色列啊， 当听我言： 我是耶和华， 我是首先的，也是末后的。
13 Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand together.
我手立了地的根基； 我右手铺张诸天； 我一招呼便都立住。
14 Be gathered all of you, and hear, Who among them did declare these things? Jehovah hath loved him, He doth His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.
你们都当聚集而听， 他们内中谁说过这些事？ 耶和华所爱的人必向巴比伦行他所喜悦的事； 他的膀臂也要加在迦勒底人身上。
15 I — I have spoken, yea, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he hath made prosperous his way.
惟有我曾说过，我又选召他， 领他来，他的道路就必亨通。
16 Come ye near unto me, hear this, Not from the beginning in secret spake I, From the time of its being, there [am] I, And now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and His Spirit.
你们要就近我来听这话： 我从起头并未曾在隐密处说话； 自从有这事，我就在那里。 现在，主耶和华差遣我和他的灵来。
17 Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, 'I [am] Jehovah thy God, teaching thee to profit, Causing thee to tread in the way thou goest.
耶和华—你的救赎主， 以色列的圣者如此说： 我是耶和华—你的 神， 教训你，使你得益处， 引导你所当行的路。
18 O that thou hadst attended to My commands, Then as a river is thy peace, And thy righteousness as billows of the sea,
甚愿你素来听从我的命令！ 你的平安就如河水； 你的公义就如海浪。
19 And as sand is thy seed, And the offspring of thy bowels as its gravel, Not cut off nor destroyed his name before Me.
你的后裔也必多如海沙； 你腹中所生的也必多如沙粒。 他的名在我面前必不剪除， 也不灭绝。
20 Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, With a voice of singing declare, Cause ye this to be heard, Bring it forth unto the end of the earth, Say, Redeemed hath Jehovah His servant Jacob.
你们要从巴比伦出来， 从迦勒底人中逃脱， 以欢呼的声音传扬说： 耶和华救赎了他的仆人雅各！ 你们要将这事宣扬到地极。
21 And they have not thirsted in waste places, He hath caused them to go on, Waters from a rock he hath caused to flow to them, Yea, he cleaveth a rock, and flow do waters.
耶和华引导他们经过沙漠。 他们并不干渴； 他为他们使水从磐石而流， 分裂磐石，水就涌出。
22 There is no peace, said Jehovah, to the wicked!
耶和华说： 恶人必不得平安！
