你是屬我的

¹雅各啊，創造你的耶和華，以色列啊，造成你的那位，現在如此說：你不要害怕！因為我救贖了你。我曾提你的名召你，你是屬我的。But now, this is what the LORD says—He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine!

²你從水中經過，我必與你同在；你蹚過江河，水必不漫過你；你從火中行過，必不被燒，火焰也不著在你身上。When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.

³因為我是耶和華─你的　神，是以色列的聖者─你的救主；我已經使埃及作你的贖價，使古實和西巴代替你。For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.

⁴因我看你為寶為尊；又因我愛你，所以我使人代替你，使列邦人替換你的生命。Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.

⁵不要害怕，因我與你同在；我必領你的後裔從東方來，又從西方招聚你。Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.

⁶我要對北方說，交出來！對南方說，不要拘留！將我的眾子從遠方帶來，將我的眾女從地極領回，I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth—

⁷就是凡稱為我名下的人，是我為自己的榮耀創造的，是我所做成，所造作的。everyone called by My name and created for My glory, whom I have indeed formed and made.”

你們是我的見證

⁸你要將有眼而瞎、有耳而聾的民都帶出來！Bring out a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf.

⁹任憑萬國聚集；任憑眾民會合。其中誰能將此聲明，並將先前的事說給我們聽呢？他們可以帶出見證來，自顯為是；或者他們聽見便說：這是真的。All the nations gather together and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and proclaim to us the former things? Let them present their witnesses to vindicate them, so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”

¹⁰耶和華說：你們是我的見證，我所揀選的僕人。既是這樣，便可以知道，且信服我，又明白我就是耶和華。在我以前沒有真神（真：原文是造作的）；在我以後也必沒有。“You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may consider and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.

¹¹惟有我是耶和華；除我以外沒有救主。I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no Savior but Me.

¹²我曾指示，我曾拯救，我曾說明，並且在你們中間沒有別神。所以耶和華說：你們是我的見證。我也是　神；I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.

¹³自從有日子以來，我就是　神；誰也不能救人脫離我手。我要行事誰能阻止呢？Even from eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

神為你們打發人到巴比倫

¹⁴耶和華─你們的救贖主、以色列的聖者如此說：因你們的緣故，我已經打發人到巴比倫去；並且我要使迦勒底人如逃民，都坐自己喜樂的船下來。Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake, I will send to Babylon and bring them all as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.

¹⁵我是耶和華─你們的聖者，是創造以色列的，是你們的君王。I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.”

從前在海中開道，如今要做新事

¹⁶耶和華在滄海中開道，在大水中開路，Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the surging waters,

¹⁷使車輛、馬匹、軍兵、勇士都出來，一同躺下，不再起來；他們滅沒，好像熄滅的燈火。who brings out the chariots and horses, the armies and warriors together, to lie down, never to rise again; to be extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

¹⁸耶和華如此說：你們不要記念從前的事，也不要思想古時的事。“Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.

¹⁹看哪，我要做一件新事；如今要發現，你們豈不知道嗎？我必在曠野開道路，在沙漠開江河。Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.

²⁰野地的走獸必尊重我；野狗和鴕鳥也必如此。因我使曠野有水，使沙漠有河，好賜給我的百姓、我的選民喝。The beasts of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.

²¹這百姓是我為自己所造的，好述說我的美德。The people I formed for Myself will declare My praise.

以色列厭煩神，神卻塗抹過犯

²²雅各啊，你並沒有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厭煩我。But you have not called on Me, O Jacob, because you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.

²³你沒有將你的羊帶來給我作燔祭，也沒有用祭物尊敬我；我沒有因供物使你服勞，也沒有因乳香使你厭煩。You have not brought Me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.

²⁴你沒有用銀子為我買菖蒲，也沒有用祭物的脂油使我飽足；倒使我因你的罪惡服勞，使我因你的罪孽厭煩。You have not bought Me sweet cane with your silver, nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.

²⁵惟有我為自己的緣故塗抹你的過犯；我也不記念你的罪惡。I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.

²⁶你要提醒我，你我可以一同辯論；你可以將你的理陳明，自顯為義。Remind Me, let us argue the matter together. State your case, so that you may be vindicated.

²⁷你的始祖犯罪；你的師傅違背我。Your first father sinned, and your spokesmen rebelled against Me.

²⁸所以，我要辱沒聖所的首領，使雅各成為咒詛，使以色列成為辱罵。So I will disgrace the princes of your sanctuary, and I will devote Jacob to destruction and Israel to reproach.”

將靈澆灌你的後裔

¹我的僕人雅各，我所揀選的以色列啊，現在你當聽。But now listen, O Jacob My servant, Israel, whom I have chosen.

²造作你，又從你出胎造就你，並要幫助你的耶和華如此說：我的僕人雅各，我所揀選的耶書崙哪，不要害怕！This is the word of the LORD, your Maker, who formed you from the womb and who will help you: “Do not be afraid, O Jacob My servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

³因為我要將水澆灌口渴的人，將河澆灌乾旱之地。我要將我的靈澆灌你的後裔，將我的福澆灌你的子孫。For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and currents on the dry ground. I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring.

⁴他們要發生在草中，像溪水旁的柳樹。They will sprout among the grass like willows by flowing streams.

⁵這個要說：我是屬耶和華的；那個要以雅各的名自稱；又一個要親手寫：歸耶和華的（或譯：在手上寫歸耶和華），並自稱為以色列。One will say, ‘I belong to the LORD,’ another will call himself by the name of Jacob, and still another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’ and will take the name of Israel.”

除我以外再沒有真神

⁶耶和華─以色列的君，以色列的救贖主─萬軍之耶和華如此說：我是首先的，我是末後的；除我以外再沒有真神。Thus says the LORD, the King and Redeemer of Israel, the LORD of Hosts: “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God but Me.

⁷自從我設立古時的民，誰能像我宣告，並且指明，又為自己陳說呢？讓他將未來的事和必成的事說明。Who then is like Me? Let him say so! Let him declare his case before Me, since I established an ancient people. Let him foretell the things to come, and what is to take place.

⁸你們不要恐懼，也不要害怕。我豈不是從上古就說明指示你們嗎？並且你們是我的見證！除我以外，豈有真神嗎？誠然沒有磐石，我不知道一個！Do not tremble or fear. Have I not told you and declared it long ago? You are My witnesses! Is there any God but Me? There is no other Rock; I know not one.”

造偶像的愚昧

⁹製造雕刻偶像的盡都虛空；他們所喜悅的都無益處；他們的見證無所看見，無所知曉，他們便覺羞愧。All makers of idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Their witnesses fail to see or comprehend, so they are put to shame.

¹⁰誰製造神像，鑄造無益的偶像？Who fashions a god or casts an idol which profits him nothing?

¹¹看哪，他的同伴都必羞愧。工匠也不過是人，任他們聚會，任他們站立，都必懼怕，一同羞愧。Behold, all his companions will be put to shame, for the craftsmen themselves are only human. Let them all assemble and take their stand; they will all be brought to terror and shame.

¹²鐵匠把鐵在火炭中燒熱，用鎚打鐵器，用他有力的膀臂錘成；他飢餓而無力，不喝水而發倦。The blacksmith takes a tool and labors over the coals; he fashions an idol with hammers and forges it with his strong arms. Yet he grows hungry and loses his strength; he fails to drink water and grows faint.

¹³木匠拉線，用筆劃出樣子，用鉋子鉋成形狀，用圓尺劃了模樣，仿照人的體態，做成人形，好住在房屋中。The woodworker extends a measuring line; he marks it out with a stylus; he shapes it with chisels and outlines it with a compass. He fashions it in the likeness of man, like man in all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine.

¹⁴他砍伐香柏樹，又取柞（或譯：青桐）樹和橡樹，在樹林中選定了一棵。他栽種松樹，得雨長養。He cuts down cedars or retrieves a cypress or oak. He lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a laurel, and the rain makes it grow.

¹⁵這樹，人可用以燒火；他自己取些烤火，又燒著烤餅，而且做神像跪拜，做雕刻的偶像向它叩拜。It serves as fuel for man. He takes some of it to warm himself, and he kindles a fire and bakes his bread. He also fashions it into a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.

¹⁶他把一分燒在火中，把一分烤肉吃飽。自己烤火說：「啊哈，我暖和了，我見火了。」He burns half of it in the fire, and he roasts meat on that half. He eats the roast and is satisfied. Indeed, he warms himself and says, “Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.”

¹⁷他用剩下的做了一神，就是雕刻的偶像。他向這偶像俯伏叩拜，禱告它說：「求你拯救我，因你是我的神。」From the rest he makes a god, his graven image. He bows down to it and worships; he prays to it and says, “Save me, for you are my god.”

¹⁸他們不知道，也不思想；因為耶和華閉住他們的眼，不能看見，塞住他們的心，不能明白。They do not comprehend or discern, for He has shut their eyes so they cannot see and closed their minds so they cannot understand.

¹⁹誰心裡也不醒悟，也沒有知識，沒有聰明，能說：「我曾拿一分在火中燒了，在炭火上烤過餅；我也烤過肉吃。這剩下的，我豈要作可憎的物嗎？我豈可向木墩子叩拜呢？」And no one considers in his heart, no one has the knowledge or insight to say, “I burned half of it in the fire, and I baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make something detestable with the rest of it? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”

²⁰他以灰為食，心中昏迷，使他偏邪，他不能自救，也不能說：「我右手中豈不是有虛謊嗎？」He feeds on ashes. His deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?”

你當歸向我

²¹雅各，以色列啊，你是我的僕人，要記念這些事。以色列啊，你是我的僕人，我造就你必不忘記你。Remember these things, O Jacob, for you are My servant, O Israel. I have made you, and you are My servant; O Israel, I will never forget you.

²²我塗抹了你的過犯，像厚雲消散；我塗抹了你的罪惡，如薄雲滅沒。你當歸向我，因我救贖了你。I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like a mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.

²³諸天哪，應當歌唱，因為耶和華做成這事。地的深處啊，應當歡呼；眾山應當發聲歌唱；樹林和其中所有的樹都當如此！因為耶和華救贖了雅各，並要因以色列榮耀自己。Sing for joy, O heavens, for the LORD has done this; shout aloud, O depths of the earth. Break forth in song, O mountains, you forests and all your trees. For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and revealed His glory in Israel.

神論耶路撒冷與塞魯士

²⁴從你出胎，造就你的救贖主─耶和華如此說：我─耶和華是創造萬物的，是獨自鋪張諸天、鋪開大地的。誰與我同在呢？Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer who formed you from the womb: “I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who by Myself spread out the earth,

²⁵使說假話的兆頭失效，使占卜的癲狂，使智慧人退後，使他的知識變為愚拙；who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who confounds the wise and turns their knowledge into nonsense,

²⁶使我僕人的話語立定，我使者的謀算成就。論到耶路撒冷說：必有人居住；論到猶大的城邑說：必被建造，其中的荒場我也必興起。who confirms the message of His servant and fulfills the counsel of His messengers, who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited,’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt, and I will restore their ruins,’

²⁷對深淵說：你乾了吧！我也要使你的江河乾涸。who says to the depths of the sea, ‘Be dry, and I will dry up your currents,’

²⁸論塞魯士說：他是我的牧人，必成就我所喜悅的，必下令建造耶路撒冷，發命立穩聖殿的根基。who says of Cyrus, ‘My shepherd will fulfill all that I desire,’ who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be rebuilt,’ and of the temple, ‘Let its foundation be laid.’”

耶和華所膏的塞魯士

¹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：This is what the LORD says to Cyrus His anointed, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, to open the doors before him, so that the gates will not be shut:

²我必在你前面行，修平崎嶇之地。我必打破銅門，砍斷鐵閂。“I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.

³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　神。I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.

⁴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。For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.

⁵我是耶和華，在我以外並沒有別神；除了我以外再沒有　神。你雖不認識我，我必給你束腰。I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,

⁶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。so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

⁷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。I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

⁸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。Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.

泥土豈可與摶弄它的爭論

⁹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？Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker—one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?

¹⁰禍哉，那對父親說：你生的是甚麼呢？或對母親（原文是婦人）說：你產的是甚麼呢？Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to his mother, ‘What have you brought forth?’”

¹¹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（原文是吩咐我）。Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “Concerning things to come, do you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?

¹²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。It is I who made the earth and created man upon it. It was My hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordained all their host.

¹³我憑公義興起塞魯士（原文是他），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。I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild My city and set My exiles free, but not for payment or reward, says the LORD of Hosts.”

列國要承認獨一的神

¹⁴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。他們必帶著鎖鍊過來隨從你，又向你下拜，祈求你說：　神真在你們中間，此外再沒有別神；再沒有別的　神。This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”

¹⁵救主─以色列的　神啊，你實在是自隱的　神。Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.

¹⁶凡製造偶像的都必抱愧蒙羞，都要一同歸於慚愧。They will all be put to shame and humiliated; the makers of idols will depart together in disgrace.

¹⁷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。But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.

地極的人都當仰望我

¹⁸創造諸天的耶和華，製造成全大地的　神，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。For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens—He is God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.

¹⁹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。I have not spoken in secret, from a place in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a wasteland.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I say what is right.

²⁰你們從列國逃脫的人，要一同聚集前來。那些抬著雕刻木偶、禱告不能救人之神的，毫無知識。Come, gather together, and draw near, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry idols of wood and pray to a god that cannot save.

²¹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　神；我是公義的　神，又是救主；除了我以外，再沒有別神。Speak up and present your case—yes, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but Me, a righteous God and Savior; there is none but Me.

²²地極的人都當仰望我，就必得救；因為我是　神，再沒有別神。Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

²³我指著自己起誓，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。By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.

²⁴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。Surely they will say of Me, ‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’” All who rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.

²⁵以色列的後裔都必因耶和華得稱為義，並要誇耀。In the LORD all descendants of Israel will be justified and will exult.

思念上面的事

¹所以，你們若真與基督一同復活，就當求在上面的事；那裡有基督坐在　神的右邊。Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

²你們要思念上面的事，不要思念地上的事。Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

⁶因這些事，　神的忿怒必臨到那悖逆之子。Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

⁷當你們在這些事中活著的時候，也曾這樣行過。When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways.

棄絕惡毒的言語

⁸但現在你們要棄絕這一切的事，以及惱恨、忿怒、惡毒（或譯：陰毒）、毀謗，並口中污穢的言語。But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
