以赛亚书 46
1 彼勒屈身，尼波弯腰； 巴比伦的偶像驮在兽和牲畜上。 他们所抬的如今成了重驮， 使牲畜疲乏，
Bel is bowed down, Nebo bendeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: the things ye carried are laid on, a burden to the weary [beast].
2 都一同弯腰屈身， 不能保全重驮， 自己倒被掳去。
They bend, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, and themselves are gone into captivity.
3 雅各家，以色列家一切余剩的要听我言： 你们自从生下，就蒙我保抱， 自从出胎，便蒙我怀搋。
Hearken unto me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, ye who have been borne from the belly, who have been carried from the womb:
4 直到你们年老，我仍这样； 直到你们发白，我仍怀搋。 我已造作，也必保抱； 我必怀抱，也必拯救。
Even to old age, I [am] HE, and unto hoary hairs I will carry [you]: It is I that have made, and I will bear, and I will carry, and will deliver.
5 你们将谁与我相比，与我同等， 可以与我比较，使我们相同呢？
To whom will ye liken me and make me equal, or compare me, that we may be like?
6 那从囊中抓金子， 用天平平银子的人， 雇银匠制造神像， 他们又俯伏，又叩拜。
— They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; they hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
7 他们将神像抬起，扛在肩上， 安置在定处，它就站立， 不离本位； 人呼求它，它不能答应， 也不能救人脱离患难。
They bear him on the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place; there he standeth, he doth not remove from his place: yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not; he saveth him not out of his trouble.
8 你们当想念这事，自己作大丈夫。 悖逆的人哪，要心里思想。
Remember this, and shew yourselves men; call it to mind, ye transgressors.
9 你们要追念上古的事。 因为我是 神，并无别神； 我是 神，再没有能比我的。
Remember the former things of old; for I [am] God, and there is none else; [I am] God, and there is none like me;
10 我从起初指明末后的事， 从古时言明未成的事， 说：我的筹算必立定； 凡我所喜悦的，我必成就。
declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
11 我召鸷鸟从东方来， 召那成就我筹算的人从远方来。 我已说出，也必成就； 我已谋定，也必做成。
calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 你们这些心中顽梗、 远离公义的，当听我言。
Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
13 我使我的公义临近，必不远离。 我的救恩必不迟延； 我要为以色列—我的荣耀， 在锡安施行救恩。
I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not delay; and I will give salvation in Zion, [and] unto Israel my glory.
