Isaiah 50
1 This is what Yahweh says, “Where is the certificate of divorce with which I divorced your mother? To which of my creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold because of your sins, and because of your rebellion, your mother was sent 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 did I come but there was no one there? Why did I call but no one answered? Was my hand too short to ransom you? Was there no power in me to rescue you? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea; I make the rivers a desert; their fish die for lack of water and rot.
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 sky with darkness; I cover it with sackcloth.”
我使诸天以黑暗为衣服， 以麻布为遮盖。
4 The Lord Yahweh has given me a tongue as one of those who are taught, so that I speak a sustaining word to the weary one; he wakes me morning by morning; he awakens my ear to hear like those who are taught.
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 Yahweh has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away backward.
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 those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked out my beard; I did not hide my face from acts of 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 For the Lord Yahweh will help me; therefore I am not disgraced; so I have made my face like flint, for I know that I will not be put to shame.
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 will justify me is close by. Who will oppose me? Let us stand and confront one another. Who is my accuser? 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 Yahweh will help me. Who will declare me guilty? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moth will 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 among you fears Yahweh? Who obeys the voice of his servant? Who walks in deep darkness without light? He should trust in the name of Yahweh and lean on 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 Look, all you who light fires, who equip yourselves with torches: walk in the light of your fire and in the flames that you have ignited. This is what you have received from me: You will lie down in a place of pain.
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。
