以賽亞書 54
1 你這不懷孕、不生養的要歌唱； 你這未曾經過產難的要發聲歌唱，揚聲歡呼； 因為沒有丈夫的比有丈夫的兒女更多。 這是耶和華說的。
Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said,
2 要擴張你帳幕之地， 張大你居所的幔子，不要限止； 要放長你的繩子， 堅固你的橛子。
Enlarge the place of your tent, and of your curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pins;
3 因為你要向左向右開展； 你的後裔必得多國為業， 又使荒涼的城邑有人居住。
spread forth [your tent] yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 不要懼怕，因你必不致蒙羞； 也不要抱愧，因你必不致受辱。 你必忘記幼年的羞愧， 不再記念你寡居的羞辱。
Fear not, because you has been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you was reproached: for you shall forget your former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach of your widowhood.
5 因為造你的是你的丈夫； 萬軍之耶和華是他的名。 救贖你的是以色列的聖者； 他必稱為全地之上帝。
For [it is] the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered you, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth.
6 耶和華召你， 如召被離棄心中憂傷的妻， 就是幼年所娶被棄的妻。 這是你上帝所說的。
The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, says your God.
7 我離棄你不過片時， 卻要施大恩將你收回。
For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you.
8 我的怒氣漲溢， 頃刻之間向你掩面， 卻要以永遠的慈愛憐恤你。 這是耶和華－你的救贖主說的。
In a little wrath I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.
9 這事在我好像挪亞的洪水。 我怎樣起誓不再使挪亞的洪水漫過遍地， 我也照樣起誓不再向你發怒， 也不斥責你。
From the time of the water of Noe this is my [purpose]: as I sware to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened,
10 大山可以挪開， 小山可以遷移； 但我的慈愛必不離開你； 我平安的約也不遷移。 這是憐恤你的耶和華說的。
shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it].
11 你這受困苦、被風飄蕩不得安慰的人哪， 我必以彩色安置你的石頭， 以藍寶石立定你的根基；
Afflicted and outcast you has not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;
12 又以紅寶石造你的女牆， 以紅玉造你的城門， 以寶石造你四圍的邊界。
and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious stones.
13 你的兒女都要受耶和華的教訓； 你的兒女必大享平安。
And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.
14 你必因公義得堅立， 必遠離欺壓，不致害怕； 你必遠離驚嚇，驚嚇必不臨近你。
And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near you.
15 即或有人聚集，卻不由於我； 凡聚集攻擊你的，必因你仆倒。
Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run to you for refuge.
16 吹噓炭火、打造合用器械的鐵匠是我所造； 殘害人、行毀滅的也是我所造。
Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [you].
17 凡為攻擊你造成的器械必不利用； 凡在審判時興起用舌攻擊你的， 你必定他為有罪。 這是耶和華僕人的產業， 是他們從我所得的義。 這是耶和華說的。
I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgment, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.
