以賽亞書

第45章

1 耶和華告受膏者古列曰、我左右爾、使列國賓服、使諸王荏弱、大啓邑門、不能閉拒。

2 我備爾道、使曲爲直、毀敵銅門、斷敵鐵楗、

3 貨財藏於密室、我以之錫爾、俾爾知命爾名者、乃我耶和華以色列族之上帝、

4 爾雖不知予、我命爾名、畀以尊號、俾爾救我所選之臣僕、雅各家以色列族。

5 爾雖不知予、我賜爾力、我耶和華獨爲上帝、其外無他、

6 自日出之鄉、日入之所、俾咸知我耶和華、獨一無二、其外無他。

7 或禍或福、或光或暗、俱我耶和華使之然。

8 天降仁義、地產福祉、俱必萌芽、我耶和華使之然。

9 人若陶器、居於土壤、如與造化主爭、禍必及之。譬諸塗泥、豈能謂陶人曰、奚造我若此、受造之物、豈能謂造之者、毫無技能。

10 人詰父母曰、爾生予、何爲若此、則其禍必不遠矣。

11 肇造以色列邦之聖主、耶和華曰、予肇造斯民、莫非赤子、我所爲、爾能詰我乎。

12 我張舒穹蒼、羅布天象、奠定寰宇、撫育民人、

13 我萬有之主耶和華、使古列、屹然而立、道途坦易、以彰我義、彼必復建我聖邑、釋我俘囚、不忘賞賚。

14 耶和華又曰、埃及人貢其物產、古實人攜其貨財、西巴族軀幹雄偉、俱必歸誠於爾、爲爾屬邦、自繫鐵索、跪於爾前、呼曰、惟爾國有上帝、其外無他。

15 先知曰、以色列族之上帝、我之救主、爾之經綸、神妙莫之能測、

16 凡作偶像者、必生媿怍、必駭而奔。

17 耶和華必救以色列族、不使愧怍、永錫綏祉、歷世靡曁。

18 耶和華上帝、創造穹蒼、奠定寰宇、非徒然也、乃俾斯民安處焉、其言曰、我耶和華而外、無他也。

19 凡我有命、不秘藏於幽密、我豈使雅各子孫、徒然求予哉、我耶和華出言仁義、真實無妄。

20 列國流離之民、當大和會、羣聽斯言、木偶之上帝、不能救民、凡輦斯像而禱之者、其愚甚矣。

21 爾曹咸集我所、共論古昔預言斯事者誰乎、非我耶和華乎、惟我爲上帝、秉公義、拯兆民、我外無他、

22 地之四極、望予以獲救、我乃上帝、我外無他。

23 我指己而誓、命出不食言、萬膝必跽予、萬口必頌予、

24 曰我恃耶和華、仁義堪稱、膂力可得、凡人必詣主前、逆之者、必生愧怍、

25 以色列族恃耶和華而稱義、歸榮於主。

Isaiah

Chapter 45

1 THUS says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have upheld, to subdue nations before him: I will loose the loins of kings, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut;

2 I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of brass and cut asunder the bars of iron;

3 And I will give you the treasures that are hidden in darkness and the buried riches of the secret places that you may know that I, the LORD, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.

4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called you by your name; I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.

5 I am the LORD, and there is none else; there is no God besides me; I have girded you, though you have not known me.

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun and from the west that there is none besides me; I am the LORD, and there is none else.

7 I form light and create darkness; I make peace and create hardship; I the LORD do all these things.

8 Drop down, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds pour down righteousness; let the earth open and let salvation be multiplied and let righteousness spring up; I the LORD have created these things.

9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker! An earthen vessel that strives with him who made it from the earth! Does the clay say to the potter, What are you making? Or am I not the work of your hands?

10 Woe to him who says to his father, What are you begetting? Or to his mother, What have you conceived?

11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, the LORD of hosts is his name: Ask me of things to come concerning my children; and concerning the work of my hands, command me.

12 I have made the earth and created man upon it; I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

13 I have stirred man up in righteousness, and I will make smooth all his ways; he shall build my city and shall send my exiles back, not for a price nor for a bribe, says the LORD of hosts.

14 Thus says the LORD: The labor of Egypt and the merchants of Ethiopia and of Sheba, men of stature, shall come over to you and shall be yours; they shall come after you; in chains shall they come over, and they shall fall down before you, and shall make supplication to you, saying, Surely God is in you, and there is no other God.

15 Truly thou art a shelter, O God, the God of Israel, and his Saviour.

16 They who walk in confusion and make idols are all ashamed and confounded together;

17 But the salvation of Israel is by the LORD, the Saviour of the world; you shall not be ashamed nor confounded for ever and ever.

18 For thus says the LORD who created the heavens (he is the God who formed the earth and made it; he has established it; he did not create it in vain, but that his creation might dwell in it): I am the LORD; and there is none else.

19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I said not to the descendants of Jacob, Seek me in vain; I the LORD speak righteousness; I declare things that are right.

20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you who are delivered of the nations; they have no knowledge who carry a graven image of wood and pray to a god that cannot save.

21 Tell and draw near and consult together; who has declared this from ancient time? Was it not I, the LORD from the beginning? And there is no other God besides me; a just God and Saviour; there is none besides me.

22 Draw near to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am the LORD, and there is none else.

23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness and shall not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

24 And they shall say, In the LORD is righteousness; even to him shall mighty men come; and all who reproach thee shall be ashamed.

25 In the LORD shall all the descendants of Israel be justified and shall glory.

10 Woe to him who says to his father, What are you begetting? Or to his mother, What have you conceived?

11 肇造以色列邦之聖主、耶和華曰、予肇造斯民、莫非赤子、我所爲、爾能詰我乎。

16 They who walk in confusion and make idols are all ashamed and confounded together;

17 But the salvation of Israel is by the LORD, the Saviour of the world; you shall not be ashamed nor confounded for ever and ever.
