Isaiah 54

1 Shout in triumph, O barren one, Who hadst not borne, —Break forth into shouts of triumph—and trill thy voice, Who hadst not travailed in birth, For, more, are the children of the Desolate Than the children of Her who had the husband, Saith Yahweh.

你这不怀孕、不生养的要歌唱； 你这未曾经过产难的要发声歌唱，扬声欢呼； 因为没有丈夫的比有丈夫的儿女更多。 这是耶和华说的。

2 Enlarge the space of thy tent And the curtains of thy habitations, let them spread forth do not spare, —Lengthen thy cords, And thy tent-pins, make thou fast;

要扩张你帐幕之地， 张大你居所的幔子，不要限止； 要放长你的绳子， 坚固你的橛子。

3 For, on the right hand and on the left, shalt thou break forth, —And thy seed, shall of the nations, take possession, And forsaken cities, shall they cause to be inhabited.

因为你要向左向右开展； 你的后裔必得多国为业， 又使荒凉的城邑有人居住。

4 Do not fear for thou shalt not turn pale, Neither feel disgraced for thou shalt not be put to the blush, —For, the shame of thy youth, shalt thou forget, And the reproach of thy widowhood, shalt thou remember no more;

不要惧怕，因你必不致蒙羞； 也不要抱愧，因你必不致受辱。 你必忘记幼年的羞愧， 不再记念你寡居的羞辱。

5 For, thy husband, is, thy Maker, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name, —And, thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, The God of all the earth, shall he be called.

因为造你的是你的丈夫； 万军之耶和华是他的名。 救赎你的是以色列的圣者； 他必称为全地之 神。

6 For, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, hath Yahweh called thee, —Even the wife of youthful days, in that thou wast rejected saith thy God.

耶和华召你， 如召被离弃心中忧伤的妻， 就是幼年所娶被弃的妻。 这是你 神所说的。

7 For a small moment, I forsook thee, —But, with abounding compassions, do I embrace thee:

我离弃你不过片时， 却要施大恩将你收回。

8 In an overflow of vexation, I hid my face for a moment, from thee, But, with lovingkindness age-abiding, have I had compassion on thee, —saith thy Redeemer Yahweh.

我的怒气涨溢， 顷刻之间向你掩面， 却要以永远的慈爱怜恤你。 这是耶和华—你的救赎主说的。

9 For, the waters of Noah, is this unto me, —As to which I sware that the waters of Noah should not again pass over the earth, So have I sworn Not to be vexed with thee Nor to rebuke thee.

这事在我好像挪亚的洪水。 我怎样起誓不再使挪亚的洪水漫过遍地， 我也照样起誓不再向你发怒， 也不斥责你。

10 For, the mountains, may move away, And the hills, may be shaken, —But, my lovingkindness, from thee, shall not move away, And, my covenant of peace, shall not be shaken, saith he who hath compassion upon thee—Yahweh.

大山可以挪开， 小山可以迁移； 但我的慈爱必不离开你； 我平安的约也不迁移。 这是怜恤你的耶和华说的。

11 O thou humbled one storm-tossed, uncomforted, —Lo! I, am about to set in antimony, thy stones, And will found thee in sapphires;

你这受困苦、被风飘荡不得安慰的人哪， 我必以彩色安置你的石头， 以蓝宝石立定你的根基；

12 And make rubies, thy battlements, And thy gates, sparkling stones, —And, all thy boundaries, stones of delight;

又以红宝石造你的女墙， 以红玉造你的城门， 以宝石造你四围的边界。

13 And, all thy children, shall be the instructed of Yahweh, —And, great, shall be the prosperity of thy children.

你的儿女都要受耶和华的教训； 你的儿女必大享平安。

14 In righteousness, shalt thou be established, —Be thou far from oppression—But indeed thou shalt not fear, And from crushing calamity—But indeed it shall not come nigh unto thee.

你必因公义得坚立， 必远离欺压，不致害怕； 你必远离惊吓，惊吓必不临近你。

15 Lo! they would, quarrel, with thee—not at all from me, —Whoso hath quarrelled with thee, over thee, shall fall.

即或有人聚集，却不由于我； 凡聚集攻击你的，必因你仆倒。

16 Lo! I, have created the smith, who bloweth up a fire of coals, And who bringeth forth an instrument for his work, —And, I, have created the waster to destroy:

吹嘘炭火、打造合用器械的铁匠是我所造； 残害人、行毁灭的也是我所造。

17 No instrument formed against thee, shall prosper, And every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, shalt thou prove to be lawless, —This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh. And, their righteousness, is from me, Declareth Yahweh.

凡为攻击你造成的器械必不利用； 凡在审判时兴起用舌攻击你的， 你必定他为有罪。 这是耶和华仆人的产业， 是他们从我所得的义。 这是耶和华说的。
