以賽亞書 50
1 耶和華如此說： 我休你們的母親， 休書在哪裏呢？ 我將你們賣給我哪一個債主呢？ 你們被賣，是因你們的罪孽； 你們的母親被休，是因你們的過犯。
Thus saith the LORD, Where [is] the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors [is it] to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2 我來的時候，為何無人等候呢？ 我呼喚的時候，為何無人答應呢？ 我的膀臂豈是縮短、不能救贖嗎？ 我豈無拯救之力嗎？ 看哪，我一斥責，海就乾了； 我使江河變為曠野； 其中的魚因無水腥臭，乾渴而死。
Wherefore, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because [there is] no water, and dieth for thirst.
3 我使諸天以黑暗為衣服， 以麻布為遮蓋。
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 主耶和華賜我受教者的舌頭， 使我知道怎樣用言語扶助疲乏的人。 主每早晨提醒， 提醒我的耳朵， 使我能聽，像受教者一樣。
The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to [him that is] weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
5 主耶和華開通我的耳朵； 我並沒有違背，也沒有退後。
The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6 人打我的背，我任他打； 人拔我腮頰的鬍鬚，我由他拔； 人辱我，吐我，我並不掩面。
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 主耶和華必幫助我， 所以我不抱愧。 我硬着臉面好像堅石； 我也知道我必不致蒙羞。
For the Lord GOD 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.
8 稱我為義的與我相近； 誰與我爭論， 可以與我一同站立； 誰與我作對， 可以就近我來。
[He is] near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who [is] mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9 主耶和華要幫助我； 誰能定我有罪呢？ 他們都像衣服漸漸舊了， 為蛀蟲所咬。
Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 你們中間誰是敬畏耶和華、 聽從他僕人之話的？ 這人行在暗中，沒有亮光。 當倚靠耶和華的名， 仗賴自己的上帝。
Who [is] among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh [in] darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11 凡你們點火，用火把圍繞自己的 可以行在你們的火焰裏， 並你們所點的火把中。 這是我手所定的： 你們必躺在悲慘之中。
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass [yourselves] about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks [that] ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
