以賽亞書

第43章

1 耶和華曰、雅各家、以色列族、我肇造爾邦、拯救爾民、簡爲我赤子、故勿畏葸、

2 我左右爾、雖涉江河、不致沉淪、雖經烈燄、不致焚燬。

3 我耶和華以色列族之聖主、爲爾上帝、爲爾救主、因欲救爾、故使埃及、古實、西巴悉遭喪敗、

4 我視爾爲寶、舉爾爲尊、加爾以恩寵、因欲援爾生命、故使異邦鄰國敗亡。

5 爾勿畏葸、我左右爾、使爾自東自西、咸來和會、

6 謂北方曰、當反我民、謂南方曰、無阻我民、使我子女、歸從四極、

7 凡爲我赤子、我肇造爾邦家、以彰我榮。

8 列國之民、有目而不見、有耳而不聞、亦當咸集、其中孰能言未來事、悉有應驗、如其有之、試述其據、使聞者咸起信心。

9 併於上節

10 耶和華又曰、我之選民、爲我臣僕、可爲證、灼知予、篤信予、以我爲上帝、在我之先、在我之後、無他上帝。

11 惟我爲耶和華、我外無他救主。

12 越在疇昔、我言欲救斯民、言出惟行、若他上帝則不能、我耶和華、獨爲上帝、爾曹爲證。

13 溯厥原始、我已先在、我之所爲、無能扞格、無能奪之於我手。

14 以色列族之聖主耶和華曰、我欲救爾、遣人至巴比倫、毀諸門楗、迦勒底人駕舟、囂然不靖、終亦必亡。

15 我耶和華、爾之聖主、以色列邦、我所肇造、爲爾君王。

16 我耶和華、使海中判、俾成途路、

17 我使車馬軍旅咸集、然後傾覆之、不能復起、其易也、如撲滅餘燼、

18 已往之事、毋庸復憶。

19 我今新有制作、將卽彰明、備途於曠野、濬川於荒郊、爾豈不以爲意乎。

20 我之選民、行於曠野、濬厥江河、以供其飲、禽獸異類、野犬鴕鳥、靡不仰戴。

21 我所肇造之邦、更當揄揚我名。

22 惟雅各家以色列族、敬恪已弛、不肯上龥、

23 不燔犧羊、不獻祭祀、不焚香品、不奉禮物。吾所使爾供役者、非以重任加爾也、

24 爾不以金鬻之菖蒲奉我、不以牲畜之脂膏供我、屢干罪戾、不可勝數、煩瀆乎我。

25 我塗抹爾罪、不錄爾愆、以彰我榮。

26 爾其與我辯論、追溯厥初、以明己之善焉。

27 爾祖已蹈愆尤、爾師又行違逆、

28 故我使聖所之祭司、仍從流俗、雅各家以色列族、加以咒詛焉。

Isaiah

Chapter 43

1 BUT now thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, and he who formed you, O Israel: Fear not; for I have saved you, I have called you by your name because you are mine.

2 When you shall pass through the sea, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you.

3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour; I gave Egypt for your sake, and Ethiopia and Sheba for you.

4 Because you are precious in my sight, you have been honorable and I have loved you; therefore I have given men for your sake and nations for your life.

5 Fear not; for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west;

6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

7 Even every one who is called by my name; for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him and I have made him.

8 Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

9 Let all the peoples be gathered together and let all the nations be assembled; who among you can declare this and show us the former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses that they may be justified; or let them hear and say, It is truth.

10 You are my witnesses, says the LORD, and my servants whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he; before me there was no God created, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am the LORD; and besides me there is no lord.

12 I have declared that I have saved, and I have proclaimed that there is no strange god among you; therefore you are my witnesses, says the LORD, that I am God.

13 Yea, from the first day I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hands; what I will do, who can stop it?

14 Thus says the LORD, your Saviour, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon and have brought back all the fugitives and the Chaldeans who glory in their ships.

15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

16 Thus says the LORD, who has made a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters;

17 Who brings forth the chariots and horses and a mighty army; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise, they are extinguished like a flickering lamp:

18 Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth and you shall know it. I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

20 The beasts of the field shall glorify me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert to provide drink to my people, my chosen.

21 This people whom I have chosen for myself, they shall drink.

22 But you have not called me, O Jacob; for I have called you, O Israel.

23 You have not brought me lambs of your burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with request offerings, nor wearied you with demands for incense.

24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities.

25 I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake and will not remember your sins any more.

26 Put me in remembrance; let us plead together; that you may be justified.

27 Your first father has sinned, and your rulers have transgressed against me.

28 Your princes have profaned the sanctuary; therefore I have given Jacob to the curse and Israel to reproaches.
