| 依撒意亞 |
Isaiah |
| 1貝耳塌下了，乃波傾倒了，他們的神像，負在走獸和牲口身上；他們的重載，重壓着筋疲的畜類。 |
1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are upon beasts and cattle; They must be borne up on shoulders, carried as burdens by the weary. |
| 2他們都一齊傾倒了，塌下了，神像不但不能救助馱運他們的畜類，甚至連自己也該流徙遠配。 |
2They stoop and bow down together; unable to save those who bear them, they too go into captivity. |
| 3雅各伯家啊！以色列家所有的遺民啊！請你們聽我：自出母胎我就抱着你，自離母腹我就懷着你； |
3Hear me, O house of Jacob, all who remain of the house of Israel, My burden since your birth, whom I have carried from your infancy. |
| 4直到你年老，我仍是一樣；直到你白頭，我依然扶持你。我既然如此做了，我必要提攜你，扶持你，拯救你。 |
4Even to your old age I am the same, even when your hair is gray I will bear you; It is I who have done this, I who will continue, and I who will carry you to safety. |
| 5你們拿我同誰比擬，與誰相等，跟誰比較，以求我們相同呢？ |
5Whom would you compare me with, as an equal, or match me against, as though we were alike? |
| 6有些人從錢囊中把金子倒出，放銀子在天平上衡量；以後僱了一個金匠，製造了一個神像，遂向它屈膝朝拜； |
6There are those who pour out gold from a purse and weigh out silver on the scales; Then they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god before which they fall down in worship. |
| 7又將神像抬起，放在肩上扛着，以後安置在一個地方，它就立在那裏，再不能離開那地方；人呼求它，它也不答應，也不能救人脫離災殃。 |
7They lift it to their shoulders to carry; when they set it in place again, it stays, and does not move from the spot. Although they cry out to it, it cannot answer; it delivers no one from distress. |
| 8你們應記住這事，應站穩！叛逆的人啊！你們應記在心頭！ |
8Remember this and be firm, bear it well in mind, you rebels; remember the former things, those long ago: |
| 9你們應追憶以前古時所發生的事，因為我是天主，沒有另一個；我是天主，沒有與我相似的； |
9I am God, there is no other; I am God, there is none like me. |
| 10我從起初就預言了末後的事，早就宣佈了未來的事；我如今說：「我的計劃必要成功，我的旨意都要實現」； |
10At the beginning I foretell the outcome; in advance, things not yet done. I say that my plan shall stand, I accomplish my every purpose. |
| 11我要把老鷹從東方召來，把履行我計劃的人由遠方叫來；我說了，必要去行；我決定了，必要去做。 |
11 I call from the east a bird of prey, from a distant land, one to carry out my plan. Yes, I have spoken, I will accomplish it; I have planned it, and I will do it. |
| 12心硬的人！遠離正義的人！聽我說罷！ |
12Listen to me, you fainthearted, you who seem far from the victory of justice: |
| 13我的仁義來近了，已不遠了，我的救恩不再延遲；我必在熙雍賜與救恩，把我的光榮賜給以色列。 |
13I am bringing on my justice, it is not far off, my salvation shall not tarry; I will put salvation within Zion, and give to Israel my glory. |
