僕人必被高舉

¹³我的僕人行事必有智慧（或譯：行事通達），必被高舉上升，且成為至高。Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.

¹⁴許多人因他（原文是你）驚奇；他的面貌比別人憔悴；他的形容比世人枯槁。Just as many were appalled at Him—His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—

¹⁵這樣，他必洗淨（或譯：鼓動）許多國民；君王要向他閉口。因所未曾傳與他們的，他們必看見；未曾聽見的，他們要明白。so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.

誰信我們所傳的

¹我們所傳的（或譯：所傳與我們的）有誰信呢？耶和華的膀臂向誰顯露呢？Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

²他在耶和華面前生長如嫩芽，像根出於乾地。他無佳形美容；我們看見他的時候，也無美貌使我們羨慕他。He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him.

³他被藐視，被人厭棄；多受痛苦，常經憂患。他被藐視，好像被人掩面不看的一樣；我們也不尊重他。He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.

他為我們的過犯受害

⁴他誠然擔當我們的憂患，背負我們的痛苦；我們卻以為他受責罰，被　神擊打苦待了。Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.

⁵哪知他為我們的過犯受害，為我們的罪孽壓傷。因他受的刑罰，我們得平安；因他受的鞭傷，我們得醫治。But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

⁶我們都如羊走迷；各人偏行己路；耶和華使我們眾人的罪孽都歸在他身上。We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.

像羊羔被牽到宰殺之地

⁷他被欺壓，在受苦的時候卻不開口（或譯：他受欺壓，卻自卑不開口）；他像羊羔被牽到宰殺之地，又像羊在剪毛的人手下無聲，他也是這樣不開口。He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth.

⁸因受欺壓和審判，他被奪去，至於他同世的人，誰想他受鞭打、從活人之地被剪除，是因我百姓的罪過呢？By oppression and judgment He was taken away, and who can recount His descendants? For He was cut off from the land of the living; He was stricken for the transgression of My people.

⁹他雖然未行強暴，口中也沒有詭詐，人還使他與惡人同埋；誰知死的時候與財主同葬。He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in His death, although He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth.

耶和華以他為贖罪祭

¹⁰耶和華卻定意（或譯：喜悅）將他壓傷，使他受痛苦。耶和華以他為贖罪祭（或譯：他獻本身為贖罪祭）。他必看見後裔，並且延長年日。耶和華所喜悅的事必在他手中亨通。Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer; and when His soul is made a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.

¹¹他必看見自己勞苦的功效，便心滿意足。有許多人因認識我的義僕得稱為義；並且他要擔當他們的罪孽。After the anguish of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities.

¹²所以，我要使他與位大的同分，與強盛的均分擄物。因為他將命傾倒，以致於死；他也被列在罪犯之中。他卻擔當多人的罪，又為罪犯代求。Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He has poured out His life unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors. Yet He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

不生育的要歌唱

¹你這不懷孕、不生養的要歌唱；你這未曾經過產難的要發聲歌唱，揚聲歡呼；因為沒有丈夫的比有丈夫的兒女更多。這是耶和華說的。“Shout for joy, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth in song and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the LORD.

²要擴張你帳幕之地，張大你居所的幔子，不要限止；要放長你的繩子，堅固你的橛子。“Enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes in deep.

³因為你要向左向右開展；你的後裔必得多國為業，又使荒涼的城邑有人居住。For you will spread out to the right and left; your descendants will dispossess the nations and inhabit the desolate cities.

造你的是你的丈夫

⁴不要懼怕，因你必不致蒙羞；也不要抱愧，因你必不致受辱。你必忘記幼年的羞愧，不再記念你寡居的羞辱。Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame; do not be intimidated, for you will not be humiliated. For you will forget the shame of your youth and will remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.

⁵因為造你的是你的丈夫；萬軍之耶和華是他的名。救贖你的是以色列的聖者；他必稱為全地之　神。For your husband is your Maker—the LORD of Hosts is His name—the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth.

⁶耶和華召你，如召被離棄心中憂傷的妻，就是幼年所娶被棄的妻。這是你　神所說的。For the LORD has called you back, like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit, like the rejected wife of one’s youth,” says your God.

⁷我離棄你不過片時，卻要施大恩將你收回。“For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you back.

⁸我的怒氣漲溢，頃刻之間向你掩面，卻要以永遠的慈愛憐恤你。這是耶和華─你的救贖主說的。In a surge of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.

平安的約永不遷移

⁹這事在我好像挪亞的洪水。我怎樣起誓不再使挪亞的洪水漫過遍地，我也照樣起誓不再向你發怒，也不斥責你。“For to Me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.

¹⁰大山可以挪開，小山可以遷移；但我的慈愛必不離開你；我平安的約也不遷移。這是憐恤你的耶和華說的。Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

用寶石重建的城

¹¹你這受困苦、被風飄蕩不得安慰的人哪，我必以彩色安置你的石頭，以藍寶石立定你的根基；“O afflicted city, lashed by storms, without solace, surely I will set your stones in antimony and lay your foundations with sapphires.

¹²又以紅寶石造你的女牆，以紅玉造你的城門，以寶石造你四圍的邊界（或譯：外郭）。I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.

¹³你的兒女都要受耶和華的教訓；你的兒女必大享平安。Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their prosperity.

¹⁷凡為攻擊你造成的器械必不利用；凡在審判時興起用舌攻擊你的，你必定他為有罪。這是耶和華僕人的產業，是他們從我所得的義。這是耶和華說的。No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

乾渴的都來

¹你們一切乾渴的都當就近水來；沒有銀錢的也可以來。你們都來，買了吃；不用銀錢，不用價值，也來買酒和奶。“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!

²你們為何花錢（原文是平銀）買那不足為食物的？用勞碌得來的買那不使人飽足的呢？你們要留意聽我的話就能吃那美物，得享肥甘，心中喜樂。Why spend money on that which is not bread, and your labor on that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.

³你們當就近我來；側耳而聽，就必得活。我必與你們立永約，就是應許大衛那可靠的恩典。Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant—My loving devotion promised to David.

神的話決不徒然返回

¹⁰雨雪從天而降，並不返回，卻滋潤地土，使地上發芽結實，使撒種的有種，使要吃的有糧。For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,

¹¹我口所出的話也必如此，決不徒然返回，卻要成就我所喜悅的，在我發他去成就（發他去成就：或譯所命定）的事上必然亨通。so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.

歡歡喜喜而出

¹²你們必歡歡喜喜而出來，平平安安蒙引導。大山小山必在你們面前發聲歌唱；田野的樹木也都拍掌。You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

¹³松樹長出，代替荊棘；番石榴長出，代替蒺藜。這要為耶和華留名，作為永遠的證據，不能剪除。Instead of the thornbush, the cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, the myrtle will spring up; this will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”

成了眾人的榜樣

⁶並且你們在大難之中，蒙了聖靈所賜的喜樂，領受真道就效法我們，也效法了主；And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.

⁷甚至你們作了馬其頓和亞該亞所有信主之人的榜樣。As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

⁸因為主的道從你們那裡已經傳揚出來。你們向　神的信心不但在馬其頓和亞該亞，就是在各處也都傳開了，所以不用我們說甚麼話。For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.
