Isaiah 40
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God.
1你们的 神说： 你们要安慰，安慰我的百姓。
2Bid Jerusalem take heart, and proclaim unto her, that her time of service is accomplished, that her guilt is paid off; that she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
2要对 耶路撒冷 说安慰的话， 又向她宣告 说 ， 她争战的日子已满了； 她的罪孽赦免了； 她为自己的一切罪， 从耶和华手中加倍受罚。
3Hark! one calleth: 'Clear ye in the wilderness the way of the LORD, make plain in the desert a highway for our God.
3有人声喊着说： 在旷野预备耶和华的路， 在沙漠地修平我们 神的道。
4Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the rugged shall be made level, and the rough places a plain;
4一切山洼都要填满， 大小山冈都要削平； 高高低低的要改为平坦， 崎崎岖岖的必成为平原。
5And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.'
5耶和华的荣耀必然显现； 凡有血气的必一同看见； 因为这是耶和华亲口说的。
6Hark! one saith: 'Proclaim!' And he saith: 'What shall I proclaim?' 'All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field;
6有人声说：你喊叫吧！ 有一个说：我喊叫什么呢？ 说 ：凡有血气的尽都如草； 他的美容都像野地的花。
7The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the LORD bloweth upon it — surely the people is grass.
7草必枯干，花必凋残， 因为耶和华的气吹在其上； 百姓诚然是草。
8The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand for ever.'
8草必枯干，花必凋残， 惟有我们 神的话必永远立定。
9O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah: 'Behold your God!'
9报好信息给 锡安 的啊， 你要登高山； 报好信息给 耶路撒冷 的啊， 你要极力扬声。 扬声不要惧怕， 对 犹大 的城邑说： 看哪，你们的 神！
10Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a Mighty One, and His arm will rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.
10主耶和华必像大能者临到； 他的膀臂必为他掌权。 他的赏赐在他那里； 他的报应在他面前。
11Even as a shepherd that feedeth his flock, that gathereth the lambs in his arm, and carrieth them in his bosom, and gently leadeth those that give suck.
11他必像牧人牧养自己的羊群， 用膀臂聚集羊羔抱在怀中， 慢慢引导那乳养小羊的。
12Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
12谁曾用手心量诸水， 用手虎口量苍天， 用升斗盛大地的尘土， 用秤称山岭， 用天平平冈陵呢？
13Who hath meted out the spirit of the LORD? Or who was His counsellor that he might instruct Him?
13谁曾测度耶和华的心， 或作他的谋士指教他呢？
14With whom took He counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of right, and taught Him knowledge, and made Him to know the way of discernment?
14他与谁商议，谁教导他， 谁将公平的路指示他， 又将知识教训他， 将通达的道指教他呢？
15Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance; behold the isles are as a mote in weight.
15看哪，万民都像水桶的一滴， 又算如天平上的微尘； 他举起众海岛，好像极微之物。
16And Lebanon is not sufficient fuel, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for burnt-offerings.
16黎巴嫩 的树林 不够当柴烧； 其中的走兽也不够作燔祭。
17All the nations are as nothing before Him; they are accounted by Him as things of nought, and vanity.
17万民在他面前好像虚无， 被他看为不及虚无，乃为虚空。
18To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare unto Him?
18你们究竟将谁比 神， 用什么形象与 神比较呢？
19The image perchance, which the craftsman hath melted, and the goldsmith spread over with gold, the silversmith casting silver chains?
19偶像是匠人铸造， 银匠用金包裹， 为它 铸造银链。
20A holm-oak is set apart, he chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning craftsman to set up an image, that shall not be moved.
20穷乏献不起 这样 供物的， 就拣选不能朽坏的树木， 为自己寻找巧匠， 立起不能摇动的偶像。
21Know ye not? hear ye not? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood the foundations of the earth?
21你们岂不曾知道吗？ 你们岂不曾听见吗？ 从起初岂没有人告诉你们吗？ 自从立地的根基， 你们岂没有明白吗？
22It is He that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
22神坐在地球大圈之上； 地上的居民好像蝗虫。 他铺张穹苍如幔子， 展开诸天如可住的帐棚。
23That bringeth princes to nothing; He maketh the judges of the earth as a thing of nought.
23他使君王归于虚无， 使地上的审判官成为虚空。
24Scarce are they planted, scarce are they sown, scarce hath their stock taken root in the earth; when He bloweth upon them, they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble.
24他们是刚才栽上， 刚才种上， 根也刚才扎在地里， 他一吹在其上，便都枯干； 旋风将他们吹去，像碎秸一样。
25To whom then will ye liken Me, that I should be equal? saith the Holy One.
25那圣者说：你们将谁比我， 叫他与我相等呢？
26Lift up your eyes on high, and see: who hath created these? He that bringeth out their host by number, He calleth them all by name; by the greatness of His might, and for that He is strong in power, not one faileth.
26你们向上举目， 看谁创造这万象， 按数目领出， 他一一称其名； 因他的权能， 又因他的大能大力， 连一个都不缺。
27Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel: 'My way is hid from the LORD, and my right is passed over from my God'?
27雅各 啊，你为何说， 我的道路向耶和华隐藏？ 以色列 啊，你为何言， 我的冤屈 神并不查问？
28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? His discernment is past searching out.
28你岂不曾知道吗？ 你岂不曾听见吗？ 永在的 神耶和华，创造地极的 主 ， 并不疲乏，也不困倦； 他的智慧无法测度。
29He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might He increaseth strength.
29疲乏的，他赐能力； 软弱的，他加力量。
30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall;
30就是少年人也要疲乏困倦； 强壮的也必全然跌倒。
31But they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
31但那等候耶和华的必从新得力。 他们必如鹰展翅上腾； 他们奔跑却不困倦， 行走却不疲乏。
