Isaiah 50
1 This is the word of the Lord: Where is the statement which I gave your mother when I put her away? or to which of my creditors have I given you for money? It was for your sins that you were given into the hands of others, and for your evil-doing was your mother put away.
耶和华如此说： 我休你们的母亲， 休书在哪里呢？ 我将你们卖给我哪一个债主呢？ 你们被卖，是因你们的罪孽； 你们的母亲被休，是因你们的过犯。
2 Why, then, when I came, was there no man? and no one to give answer to my voice? has my hand become feeble, so that it is unable to take up your cause? or have I no power to make you free? See, at my word the sea becomes dry, I make the rivers a waste land: their fish are dead for need of water, and make an evil smell.
我来的时候，为何无人等候呢？ 我呼唤的时候，为何无人答应呢？ 我的膀臂岂是缩短、不能救赎吗？ 我岂无拯救之力吗？ 看哪，我一斥责，海就干了； 我使江河变为旷野； 其中的鱼因无水腥臭，干渴而死。
3 By me the heavens are clothed with black, and I make haircloth their robe.
我使诸天以黑暗为衣服， 以麻布为遮盖。
4 The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:
主耶和华赐我受教者的舌头， 使我知道怎样用言语扶助疲乏的人。 主每早晨提醒， 提醒我的耳朵， 使我能听，像受教者一样。
5 And I have not put myself against him, or let my heart be turned back from him.
主耶和华开通我的耳朵； 我并没有违背，也没有退后。
6 I was offering my back to those who gave me blows, and my face to those who were pulling out my hair: I did not keep my face covered from marks of shame.
人打我的背，我任他打； 人拔我腮颊的胡须，我由他拔； 人辱我，吐我，我并不掩面。
7 For the Lord God is my helper; I will not be put to shame: so I have made my face like a rock, and I am certain that he will give me my right.
主耶和华必帮助我， 所以我不抱愧。 我硬着脸面好像坚石； 我也知道我必不致蒙羞。
8 He who takes up my cause is near; who will go to law with me? let us come together before the judge: who is against me? let him come near to me.
称我为义的与我相近； 谁与我争论， 可以与我一同站立； 谁与我作对， 可以就近我来。
9 See, the Lord God is my helper; who will give a decision against me? truly, all of them will become old like a robe; they will be food for the worm.
主耶和华要帮助我； 谁能定我有罪呢？ 他们都像衣服渐渐旧了， 为蛀虫所咬。
10 Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support.
你们中间谁是敬畏耶和华、 听从他仆人之话的？ 这人行在暗中，没有亮光。 当倚靠耶和华的名， 仗赖自己的 神。
11 See, all you who make a fire, arming yourselves with burning branches: go in the flame of your fire, and among the branches you have put a light to. This will you have from my hand, you will make your bed in sorrow.
凡你们点火，用火把围绕自己的 可以行在你们的火焰里， 并你们所点的火把中。 这是我手所定的： 你们必躺在悲惨之中。
