Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Let the islands keep silence before me, and the nations take new strength: let them come near, and then speak, let us come near to judgment together.
1眾海島啊，當在我面前靜默； 眾民當重新得力， 都要近前來才可以說話， 我們可以彼此辯論。
2Who hath raised up the just one from the east, hath called him to follow him? he shall give the nations in his sight, and he shall rule over kings: he shall give them as the dust to his sword, as stubble driven by the wind, to his bow.
2誰從東方興起一人， 憑公義召他來到腳前呢？ 耶和華將列國交給他， 使他管轄君王， 把他們如灰塵交與他的刀， 如風吹的碎稭交與他的弓。
3He shall pursue them, he shall pass in peace, no path shall appear after his feet.
3他追趕他們， 走他所未走的道， 坦然前行。
4Who hath wrought and done these things, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, I am the first and the last.
4誰行做成就這事， 從起初宣召歷代呢？ 就是我－耶和華！ 我是首先的， 也與末後的同在。
5The islands saw it, and feared, the ends of the earth were astonished, they drew near, and came.
5海島看見就都害怕； 地極也都戰兢， 就近前來。
6Every one shall help his neighbour, and shall say to his brother: Be of good courage.
6他們各人幫助鄰舍， 各人 對弟兄說：壯膽吧！
7The coppersmith striking with the hammer encouraged him that forged at that time, saying: It is ready for soldering: and he strengthened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
7木匠勉勵銀匠， 用鎚打光的勉勵打砧的， 論銲工說，銲得好； 又用釘子釘穩，免得 偶像 動搖。
8But thou Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend:
8惟你 以色列 －我的僕人， 雅各 －我所揀選的， 我朋友 亞伯拉罕 的後裔，
9In whom I have taken thee from the ends of the earth, and from the remote parts thereof have called thee, and said to thee: Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and have not cast thee away.
9你是我從地極所領來的， 從地角所召來的， 且對你說：你是我的僕人； 我揀選你，並不棄絕你。
10Fear not, for I am with thee: turn not aside, for I am thy God: I have strengthened thee, and have helped thee, and the right hand of my just one hath upheld thee.
10你不要害怕，因為我與你同在； 不要驚惶，因為我是你的上帝。 我必堅固你，我必幫助你； 我必用我公義的右手扶持你。
11Behold all that fight against thee shall be confounded and ashamed, they shall be as nothing, and the men shall perish that strive against thee.
11凡向你發怒的必都抱愧蒙羞； 與你相爭的必如無有，並要滅亡。
12Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find the men that resist thee: they shall be as nothing: and as a thing consumed the men that war against thee.
12與你爭競的，你要找他們也找不着； 與你爭戰的必如無有，成為虛無。
13For I am the Lord thy God, who take thee by the hand, and say to thee: Fear not, I have helped thee.
13因為我耶和華－ 你的上帝必攙扶你的右手， 對你說：不要害怕！ 我必幫助你。
14Fear not, thou worm of Jacob, you that are dead of Israel: I have helped thee, saith the Lord: and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel.
14你這蟲 雅各 和你們 以色列 人， 不要害怕！ 耶和華說：我必幫助你。 你的救贖主就是 以色列 的聖者。
15I have made thee as a new thrashing wain, with teeth like a saw: thou shall thrash the mountains, and break them in pieces: and shalt make the hills as chaff.
15看哪，我已使你成為 有快齒打糧的新器具； 你要把山嶺打得粉碎， 使岡陵如同糠詷。
16Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, in the Holy One of Israel thou shalt be joyful.
16你要把它簸揚，風要吹去； 旋風要把它颳散。 你倒要以耶和華為喜樂， 以 以色列 的聖者為誇耀。
17The needy and the poor seek for waters, and there are none: their tongue hath been dry with thirst. I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
17困苦窮乏人尋求水卻沒有； 他們因口渴，舌頭乾燥。 我－耶和華必應允他們； 我－ 以色列 的上帝必不離棄他們。
18I will open rivers in the high bills, and fountains in the midst of the plains: I will turn the desert into pools of waters, and the impassable land into streams of waters.

19I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, and the thorn, and the myrtle, and the olive tree: I will set in the desert the fir tree, the elm, and the box tree together:
19我要在曠野種上香柏樹、 皂莢樹、番石榴樹，和野橄欖樹。 我在沙漠要把松樹、杉樹， 並黃楊樹一同栽植；
20That they may see and know, and consider, and understand together that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
20好叫人看見、知道、 思想、明白； 這是耶和華的手所做的， 是 以色列 的聖者所造的。
21Bring your cause near, saith the Lord: bring hither, if you have any thing to allege, saith the King of Jacob.
21耶和華 對假神 說： 你們要呈上你們的案件； 雅各 的君說： 你們要聲明你們確實的理由。
22Let them come, and tell us all things that are to come: tell us the former things what they were: and we will set our heart upon them, and shall know the latter end of them, and tell us the things that are to come.
22可以聲明，指示我們將來必遇的事， 說明先前的是甚麼事， 好叫我們思索，得知事的結局， 或者把將來的事指示我們。
23Shew the things that are to come hereafter, and we shall know that ye are gods. Do ye also good or evil, if you can: and let us speak, and see together.
23要說明後來的事， 好叫我們知道你們是神。 你們或降福，或降禍， 使我們驚奇，一同觀看。
24Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of that which hath no being: he that hath chosen you is an abomination.
24看哪，你們屬乎虛無； 你們的作為也屬乎虛空。 那選擇你們的是可憎惡的。
25I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come from the rising of the sun: he shall call upon my name, and he shall make princes to be as dirt, and as the potter treading clay.
25我從北方興起一人； 他是求告我名的， 從日出之地而來。 他必臨到掌權的， 好像臨到灰泥， 彷彿窯匠踹泥一樣。
26Who bath declared from the beginning, that we may know: and from time of old, that we may say: Thou art just. There is none that sheweth, nor that foretelleth, nor that heareth your words.
26誰從起初指明這事，使我們知道呢？ 誰從先前說明，使我們說 他 不錯呢？ 誰也沒有指明； 誰也沒有說明； 誰也沒有聽見你們的話。
27The first shall say to Sion: Behold they are here, and to Jerusalem I will give an evangelist.
27我首先對 錫安 說 ： 看哪，我要將一位報好信息的賜給 耶路撒冷 。
28And I saw, and there was no one even among them to consult, or who, when I asked, could answer a word.
28我看的時候並沒有人； 我問的時候， 他們中間也沒有謀士可以回答一句。
29Behold they are all in the wrong, and their works are vain: their idols are wind and vanity.
29看哪，他們和他們的工作都是虛空， 且是虛無。 他們所鑄的偶像都是風， 都是虛的。
