以賽亞書 51
1 你們這追求公義、 尋求耶和華的，當聽我言！ 你們要追想被鑿而出的磐石， 被挖而出的巖穴。
Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, and seek the Lord: look to the solid rock, which ye have hewn, and to the hole of the pit which ye have dug.
2 要追想你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕 和生養你們的撒拉； 因為亞伯拉罕獨自一人的時候， 我選召他，賜福與他， 使他人數增多。
Look to Abraam your father, and to Sarrha that bore you: for he was alone when I called him, and blessed him, and loved him, and multiplied him.
3 耶和華已經安慰錫安 和錫安一切的荒場， 使曠野像伊甸， 使沙漠像耶和華的園囿； 在其中必有歡喜、快樂、感謝， 和歌唱的聲音。
And now I will comfort thee, O Sion: and I have comforted all her desert places; and I will make her desert places as a garden, and her western places as the garden of the Lord; they shall find in her gladness and exultation, thanksgiving and the voice of praise.
4 我的百姓啊，要向我留心； 我的國民哪，要向我側耳； 因為訓誨必從我而出； 我必堅定我的公理為萬民之光。
Hear me, hear me, my people; and ye kings, hearken to me: for a law shall proceed from me, and my judgment [shall be] for a light of the nations.
5 我的公義臨近； 我的救恩發出。 我的膀臂要審判萬民； 海島都要等候我，倚賴我的膀臂。
My righteousness speedily draws nigh, and my salvation shall go forth as light, and on mine arm shall the Gentiles trust: the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
6 你們要向天舉目， 觀看下地； 因為天必像煙雲消散， 地必如衣服漸漸舊了； 其上的居民也要如此死亡。 惟有我的救恩永遠長存； 我的公義也不廢掉。
Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look on the earth beneath: for the sky was darkened like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and the inhabitants shall die in like manner: but my righteousness shall not fail.
7 知道公義、將我訓誨存在心中的民， 要聽我言！ 不要怕人的辱罵， 也不要因人的毀謗驚惶。
Hear me, ye that know judgment, the people in whose heart is my law: fear not the reproach of men, and be not overcome by their contempt.
8 因為蛀蟲必咬他們，好像咬衣服； 蟲子必咬他們，如同咬羊絨。 惟有我的公義永遠長存， 我的救恩直到萬代。
For as a garment will be devoured by time, and as wool will be devoured by a moth, [so shall they be consumed]; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation for all generations.
9 耶和華的膀臂啊，興起！興起！ 以能力為衣穿上， 像古時的年日、上古的世代興起一樣。 從前砍碎拉哈伯、 刺透大魚的，不是你嗎？
Awake, awake, O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of thine arm; awake as in the early time, as the ancient generation.
10 使海與深淵的水乾涸、 使海的深處變為贖民經過之路的， 不是你嗎？
Art thou not it that dried the sea, the water, [even] the abundance of the deep; that made the depths of the sea a way of passage for the delivered and redeemed?
11 耶和華救贖的民必歸回， 歌唱來到錫安； 永樂必歸到他們的頭上。 他們必得着歡喜快樂； 憂愁歎息盡都逃避。
for by [the help of] the Lord they shall return, and come to Sion with joy and everlasting exultation, for praise and joy shall come upon their head: pain, and grief, and groaning, have fled away.
12 惟有我，是安慰你們的。 你是誰，竟怕那必死的人？ 怕那要變如草的世人？
I, [even] I, am he that comforts thee: consider who thou art, that thou wast afraid of mortal man, and of the son of man, who are withered as grass.
13 卻忘記鋪張諸天、立定地基、 創造你的耶和華？ 又因欺壓者圖謀毀滅要發的暴怒， 整天害怕， 其實那欺壓者的暴怒在哪裏呢？
And thou hast forgotten God who made thee, who made the sky and founded the earth; and thou wert continually afraid because of the wrath of him that afflicted thee: for [whereas] he counselled to take thee away, yet now where is the wrath of him that afflicted thee?
14 被擄去的快得釋放， 必不死而下坑； 他的食物也不致缺乏。
For in thy deliverance he shall not halt, nor tarry;
15 我是耶和華－你的上帝－ 攪動大海，使海中的波浪匉訇－ 萬軍之耶和華是我的名。
for I am thy God, that troubles the sea, and causes the waves thereof to roar: the Lord of hosts is my name.
16 我將我的話傳給你， 用我的手影遮蔽你， 為要栽定諸天，立定地基， 又對錫安說：你是我的百姓。
I will put my words into thy mouth, and I will shelter thee under the shadow of mine hand, with which I fixed the sky, and founded the earth: and [the Lord] shall say to Sion, Thou art my people.
17 耶路撒冷啊，興起！ 興起！站起來！ 你從耶和華手中喝了他忿怒之杯， 喝了那使人東倒西歪的爵，以致喝盡。
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury: for thou hast drunk out and drained the cup of calamity, the cup of wrath:
18 她所生育的諸子中，沒有一個引導她的； 她所養大的諸子中，沒有一個攙扶她的。
and there was none to comfort thee of all the children whom thou borest; and there was none to take hold of thine hand, not even of all the children whom thou has reared.
19 荒涼、毀滅、饑荒、刀兵， 這幾樣臨到你， 誰為你舉哀？ 我如何能安慰你呢？
Wherefore these things are against thee; who shall sympathize with thee in thy grief? downfall, and destruction, famine, and sword: who shall comfort thee?
20 你的眾子發昏， 在各市口上躺臥， 好像黃羊在網羅之中， 都滿了耶和華的忿怒 －你上帝的斥責。
Thy sons are the perplexed ones, that sleep at the top of every street as a half-boiled beet; they that are full of the anger of the Lord, caused to faint by the Lord God.
21 因此，你這困苦卻非因酒而醉的， 要聽我言。
Therefore hear, thou afflicted one, and drunken, [but] not with wine;
22 你的主耶和華－ 就是為他百姓辨屈的上帝如此說： 看哪，我已將那使人東倒西歪的杯， 就是我忿怒的爵， 從你手中接過來； 你必不致再喝。
thus saith the Lord God that judges his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of calamity, the cup of my wrath; and thou shalt not drink it any more.
23 我必將這杯遞在苦待你的人手中； 他們曾對你說：你屈身， 由我們踐踏過去吧！ 你便以背為地， 好像街市，任人經過。
And I will give it into the hands of them that injured thee, and them that afflicted thee; who said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may pass over: and thou didst level thy body with the ground to them passing by without.
