被卖是因自己的罪孽

¹耶和华如此说：我休你们的母亲，休书在哪里呢？我将你们卖给我哪一个债主呢？你们被卖，是因你们的罪孽；你们的母亲被休，是因你们的过犯。This is what the LORD says: “Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce with which I sent her away? Or to which of My creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold for your iniquities, and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.

²我来的时候，为何无人等候呢？我呼唤的时候，为何无人答应呢？我的膀臂岂是缩短、不能救赎吗？我岂无拯救之力吗？看哪，我一斥责，海就干了；我使江河变为旷野；其中的鱼因无水腥臭，干渴而死。Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.

³我使诸天以黑暗为衣服，以麻布为遮盖。I clothe the heavens in black and make sackcloth their covering.”

仆人有受教者的舌头

⁴主耶和华赐我受教者的舌头，使我知道怎样用言语扶助疲乏的人。主每早晨提醒，提醒我的耳朵，使我能听，像受教者一样。The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of discipleship, to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

⁵主耶和华开通我的耳朵；我并没有违背，也没有退后。The Lord GOD has opened My ears, and I have not been rebellious, nor have I turned back.

⁶人打我的背，我任他打；人拔我腮颊的胡须，我由他拔；人辱我，吐我，我并不掩面。I offered My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who tore out My beard. I did not hide My face from scorn and spittle.

⁷主耶和华必帮助我，所以我不抱愧。我硬着脸面好像坚石；我也知道我必不致蒙羞。Because the Lord GOD helps Me, I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I will not be put to shame.

⁸称我为义的与我相近；谁与我争论，可以与我一同站立；谁与我作对，可以就近我来。The One who vindicates Me is near. Who will dare to contend with Me? Let us confront each other! Who has a case against Me? Let him approach Me!

⁹主耶和华要帮助我；谁能定我有罪呢？他们都像衣服渐渐旧了，为蛀虫所咬。Surely the Lord GOD helps Me. Who is there to condemn Me? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moths will devour them.

当倚靠耶和华的名

¹⁰你们中间谁是敬畏耶和华、听从他仆人之话的？这人行在暗中，没有亮光。当倚靠耶和华的名，仗赖自己的　神。Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God.

¹¹凡你们点火，用火把围绕自己的可以行在你们的火焰里，并你们所点的火把中。这是我手所定的：你们必躺在悲惨之中。Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who array yourselves with firebrands, walk in the light of your fire and of the firebrands you have lit! This is what you will receive from My hand: You will lie down in a place of torment.

追想你们被凿而出的磐石

¹你们这追求公义、寻求耶和华的，当听我言！你们要追想被凿而出的磐石，被挖而出的岩穴。“Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were hewn.

²要追想你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕和生养你们的撒拉；因为亚伯拉罕独自一人的时候，我选召他，赐福与他，使他人数增多。Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who gave you birth. When I called him, he was but one; then I blessed him and multiplied him.

³耶和华已经安慰锡安和锡安一切的荒场，使旷野像伊甸，使沙漠像耶和华的园囿；在其中必有欢喜、快乐、感谢，和歌唱的声音。For the LORD will comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and melodious song.

神的救恩永远长存

⁴我的百姓啊，要向我留心；我的国民哪，要向我侧耳；因为训诲必从我而出；我必坚定我的公理为万民之光。Pay attention to Me, My people, and listen to Me, My nation; for a law will go out from Me, and My justice will become a light to the nations; I will bring it about quickly.

⁵我的公义临近；我的救恩发出。我的膀臂要审判万民；海岛都要等候我，倚赖我的膀臂。My righteousness draws near, My salvation is on the way, and My arms will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look for Me and wait in hope for My arm.

⁶你们要向天举目，观看下地；因为天必像烟云消散，地必如衣服渐渐旧了；其上的居民也要如此死亡（如此死亡：或译像蠓虫死亡）。惟有我的救恩永远长存；我的公义也不废掉。Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die like gnats. But My salvation will last forever, and My righteousness will never fail.

⁷知道公义、将我训诲存在心中的民，要听我言！不要怕人的辱骂，也不要因人的毁谤惊惶。Listen to Me, you who know what is right, you people with My law in your hearts: Do not fear the scorn of men; do not be broken by their insults.

⁸因为蛀虫必咬他们，好像咬衣服；虫子必咬他们，如同咬羊绒。惟有我的公义永远长存，我的救恩直到万代。For the moth will devour them like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will last forever, My salvation through all generations.”

耶和华的膀臂啊，兴起

⁹耶和华的膀臂啊，兴起！兴起！以能力为衣穿上，像古时的年日、上古的世代兴起一样。从前砍碎拉哈伯、刺透大鱼的，不是你吗？Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the dragon?

¹⁰使海与深渊的水干涸、使海的深处变为赎民经过之路的，不是你吗？Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?

¹¹耶和华救赎的民必归回，歌唱来到锡安；永乐必归到他们的头上。他们必得着欢喜快乐；忧愁叹息尽都逃避。So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
