< Isaiah 50 >

1 Thus saith Jehovah: Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, through your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is 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 Wherefore did I come, and there was no man? I called, and there was none to answer? Is my hand at all shortened that I cannot redeem, or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make rivers a wilderness; their fish stink because there is no water, and die for thirst.
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 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
我使诸天以黑暗为衣服, 以麻布为遮盖。
4 The Lord Jehovah hath given me the tongue of the instructed, that I should know how to succour by a word him that is weary. He wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the instructed.
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 The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious; I turned not away back.
主耶和华开通我的耳朵; 我并没有违背,也没有退后。
6 I gave my back to smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
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 But the Lord Jehovah will help me: therefore shall I not be confounded; therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
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 is near that justifieth me: who will contend with me? let us stand together; who is mine adverse party? let him draw near unto 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 Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? Behold, they all shall grow old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
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 is among you that feareth Jehovah, that hearkeneth to the voice of his servant? he that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, — let him confide in the name of Jehovah, and stay himself upon his God.
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 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and among the sparks [that] ye have kindled. This shall ye have of my hand: ye shall lie down 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。
