Esias 45
1 Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
我－耶和華所膏的塞魯士； 我攙扶他的右手， 使列國降伏在他面前。 我也要放鬆列王的腰帶， 使城門在他面前敞開， 不得關閉。 我對他如此說：
2 I will go before you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
我必在你前面行， 修平崎嶇之地。 我必打破銅門， 砍斷鐵閂。
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness, I will open to you hidden, unseen [treasures], that you may know that I, the Lord your God, that call you by name, am the God of Israel.
我要將暗中的寶物和隱密的財寶賜給你， 使你知道提名召你的， 就是我－耶和華、以色列的上帝。
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call you by your name, and accept you: but you have not known me.
因我僕人雅各， 我所揀選以色列的緣故， 我就提名召你； 你雖不認識我， 我也加給你名號。
5 For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have not known me.
我是耶和華，在我以外並沒有別神； 除了我以外再沒有上帝。 你雖不認識我， 我必給你束腰。
6 That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
從日出之地到日落之處 使人都知道除了我以外，沒有別神。 我是耶和華； 在我以外並沒有別神。
7 I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
我造光，又造暗； 我施平安，又降災禍； 造作這一切的是我－耶和華。
8 Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created you.
諸天哪，自上而滴， 穹蒼降下公義； 地面開裂，產出救恩， 使公義一同發生； 這都是我－耶和華所造的。
9 What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the ploughman plough the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
禍哉，那與造他的主爭論的！ 他不過是地上瓦片中的一塊瓦片。 泥土豈可對摶弄它的說：你做甚麼呢？ 所做的物豈可說：你沒有手呢？
10 As though one should say to [his] father, What will you beget me? and to his mother, What are you bringing forth?
禍哉，那對父親說： 你生的是甚麼呢？ 或對母親說： 你產的是甚麼呢？
11 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
耶和華－以色列的聖者， 就是造就以色列的如此說： 將來的事，你們可以問我； 至於我的眾子，並我手的工作， 你們可以求我命定。
12 I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
我造地，又造人在地上。 我親手鋪張諸天； 天上萬象也是我所命定的。
13 I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord of hosts.
我憑公義興起塞魯士， 又要修直他一切道路。 他必建造我的城， 釋放我被擄的民； 不是為工價，也不是為賞賜。 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
14 Thus says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for you]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall do obeisance to you, and make supplication to you: because God is in you; and there is no God beside you, [O Lord].
耶和華如此說： 埃及勞碌得來的和古實的貨物必歸你； 身量高大的西巴人必投降你，也要屬你。 他們必帶着鎖鍊過來隨從你， 又向你下拜，祈求你說： 上帝真在你們中間，此外再沒有別神； 再沒有別的上帝。
15 For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
救主－以色列的上帝啊， 你實在是自隱的上帝。
16 All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: you isles, keep a feast to me.
凡製造偶像的都必抱愧蒙羞， 都要一同歸於慚愧。
17 Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
惟有以色列必蒙耶和華的拯救， 得永遠的救恩。 你們必不蒙羞，也不抱愧， 直到永世無盡。
18 Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
創造諸天的耶和華， 製造成全大地的上帝， 他創造堅定大地， 並非使地荒涼， 是要給人居住。 他如此說： 我是耶和華，再沒有別神。
19 I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
我沒有在隱密黑暗之地說話； 我沒有對雅各的後裔說： 你們尋求我是徒然的。 我－耶和華所講的是公義， 所說的是正直。
20 Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, you that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
你們從列國逃脫的人， 要一同聚集前來。 那些抬着雕刻木偶、 禱告不能救人之神的， 毫無知識。
21 If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
你們要述說陳明你們的理， 讓他們彼此商議。 誰從古時指明？ 誰從上古述說？ 不是我－耶和華嗎？ 除了我以外，再沒有上帝； 我是公義的上帝，又是救主； 除了我以外，再沒有別神。
22 Turn you to me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
地極的人都當仰望我， 就必得救； 因為我是上帝，再沒有別神。
23 By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
我指着自己起誓， 我口所出的話是憑公義，並不反回： 萬膝必向我跪拜； 萬口必憑我起誓。
24 saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
人論我說， 公義、能力，惟獨在乎耶和華； 人都必歸向他。 凡向他發怒的必至蒙羞。
25 By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
以色列的後裔都必因耶和華得稱為義， 並要誇耀。
