Isaiah 48
1 Hear yee this, O house of Iaakob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come out of the waters of Iudah: which sweare by the Name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousnesse.
雅各家，称为以色列名下， 从犹大水源出来的，当听我言！ 你们指着耶和华的名起誓， 提说以色列的 神， 却不凭诚实，不凭公义。
2 For they are called of the holy citie, and staie themselues vpon the God of Israel, whose Name is the Lord of hostes.
他们自称为圣城的人， 所倚靠的是 名为万军之耶和华—以色列的 神。
3 I haue declared ye former things of old, and they went out of my mouth, and I shewed them: I did them suddenly, and they came to passe.
主说：早先的事，我从古时说明， 已经出了我的口， 也是我所指示的； 我忽然行做，事便成就。
4 Because I knewe, that thou art obstinate, and thy necke is an yron sinew, and thy brow brasse,
因为我素来知道你是顽梗的— 你的颈项是铁的； 你的额是铜的。
5 Therefore I haue declared it to thee of old: before it came to passe, I shewed it thee, lest thou shouldest say, Mine idole hath done them, and my carued image, and my molten image hath commanded them.
所以，我从古时将这事给你说明， 在未成以先指示你， 免得你说：这些事是我的偶像所行的， 是我雕刻的偶像和我铸造的偶像所命定的。
6 Thou hast heard, behold all this, and wil not yee declare it? I haue shewed thee newe things, euen now, and hid things, which thou knewest not.
你已经听见，现在要看见这一切； 你不说明吗？ 从今以后，我将新事， 就是你所不知道的隐密事指示你。
7 They are created now, and not of olde, and euen before this thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldest say, Beholde, I knewe them.
这事是现今造的，并非从古就有； 在今日以先，你也未曾听见， 免得你说：这事我早已知道了。
8 Yet thou heardest them not, neither diddest know them, neither yet was thine eare opened of olde: for I knewe that thou wouldest grieuously transgresse: therefore haue I called thee a transgressour from the wombe.
你未曾听见，未曾知道； 你的耳朵从来未曾开通。 我原知道你行事极其诡诈， 你自从出胎以来， 便称为悖逆的。
9 For my Names sake will I defer my wrath, and for my praise will I refraine it from thee, that I cut thee not off.
我为我的名暂且忍怒， 为我的颂赞向你容忍， 不将你剪除。
10 Behold, I haue fined thee, but not as siluer: I haue chosen thee in the fornace of affliction.
我熬炼你，却不像熬炼银子； 你在苦难的炉中，我拣选你。
11 For mine owne sake, for mine owne sake wil I doe it: for how should my Name be polluted? surely I wil not giue my glory vnto another.
我为自己的缘故必行这事， 我焉能使我的名被亵渎？ 我必不将我的荣耀归给假神。
12 Heare me, O Iaakob and Israel, my called, I am, I am the first, and I am the last.
雅各—我所选召的以色列啊， 当听我言： 我是耶和华， 我是首先的，也是末后的。
13 Surely mine hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heaues: when I cal them, they stand vp together.
我手立了地的根基； 我右手铺张诸天； 我一招呼便都立住。
14 All you, assemble your selues, and heare: which among them hath declared these thinges? The Lord hath loued him: he wil doe his will in Babel, and his arme shalbe against the Chaldeans.
你们都当聚集而听， 他们内中谁说过这些事？ 耶和华所爱的人必向巴比伦行他所喜悦的事； 他的膀臂也要加在迦勒底人身上。
15 I, euen I haue spoken it, and I haue called him: I haue brought him, and his way shall prosper.
惟有我曾说过，我又选召他， 领他来，他的道路就必亨通。
16 Come neere vnto me: heare ye this: I haue not spoken it in secret from the beginning: from the time that the thing was, I was there, and now the Lord God and his Spirit hath sent me.
你们要就近我来听这话： 我从起头并未曾在隐密处说话； 自从有这事，我就在那里。 现在，主耶和华差遣我和他的灵来。
17 Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy one of Israel, I am the Lord thy God, which teach thee to profite, and lead thee by the way, that thou shouldest goe.
耶和华—你的救赎主， 以色列的圣者如此说： 我是耶和华—你的 神， 教训你，使你得益处， 引导你所当行的路。
18 Oh that thou haddest hearkened to my commandements! then had thy prosperitie bene as the floude, and thy righteousnesse as the waues of the sea.
甚愿你素来听从我的命令！ 你的平安就如河水； 你的公义就如海浪。
19 Thy seede also had beene as the sande, and the fruite of thy body like the grauell thereof: his name should not haue bene cut off nor destroied before me.
你的后裔也必多如海沙； 你腹中所生的也必多如沙粒。 他的名在我面前必不剪除， 也不灭绝。
20 Goe yee out of Babel: flee yee from the Chaldeans, with a voice of ioy: tel and declare this: shewe it foorth to the ende of the earth: say yee, The Lord hath redeemed his seruant Iaakob.
你们要从巴比伦出来， 从迦勒底人中逃脱， 以欢呼的声音传扬说： 耶和华救赎了他的仆人雅各！ 你们要将这事宣扬到地极。
21 And they were not thirstie: hee led them through the wildernesse: hee caused the waters to flowe out of the rocke for them: for he claue the rocke, and the water gushed out.
耶和华引导他们经过沙漠。 他们并不干渴； 他为他们使水从磐石而流， 分裂磐石，水就涌出。
22 There is no peace, sayeth the Lord, vnto the wicked.
耶和华说： 恶人必不得平安！
