Isaiah 48
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the fountain of Judah; who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
1雅各 家,称为 以色列 名下, 从 犹大 水源出来的,当听我言! 你们指着耶和华的名起誓, 提说 以色列 的 神, 却不凭诚实,不凭公义。
2For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel, the LORD of hosts is His name.
2他们自称为圣城的人, 所倚靠的是 名为万军之耶和华— 以色列 的 神。
3I have declared the former things from of old; yea, they went forth out of My mouth, and I announced them; suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
3主说:早先的事,我从古时说明, 已经出了我的口, 也是我所指示的; 我忽然行做,事便成就。
4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
4因为我素来知道你是顽梗的— 你的颈项是铁的; 你的额是铜的。
5Therefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I announced it to thee; lest thou shouldest say: 'Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.'
5所以,我从古时将这事给你说明, 在未成以先指示你, 免得你说:这些事是我的偶像所行的, 是我雕刻的偶像和我铸造的偶像所命定的。
6Thou hast heard, see, all this; and ye, will ye not declare it? I have announced unto thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not known.
6你已经听见,现在要看见这一切; 你不说明吗? 从今以后,我将新事, 就是你所不知道的隐密事指示你。
7They are created now, and not from of old, and before this day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say: 'Behold, I knew them.'
7这事是现今造的,并非从古就有; 在今日以先,你也未曾听见, 免得你说:这事我早已知道了。
8Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from of old thine ear was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
8你未曾听见,未曾知道; 你的耳朵从来未曾开通。 我原知道你行事极其诡诈, 你自从出胎以来, 便称为悖逆的。
9For My name's sake will I defer Mine anger, and for My praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
9我为我的名暂且忍怒, 为我的颂赞向你容忍, 不将你剪除。
10Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have tried thee in the furnace of affliction.
10我熬炼你,却不像熬炼银子; 你在苦难的炉中,我拣选你。
11For Mine own sake, for Mine own sake, will I do it; for how should it be profaned? And My glory will I not give to another.
11我为自己的缘故必行这事, 我焉能使 我的名 被亵渎? 我必不将我的荣耀归给假神。
12Hearken unto Me, O Jacob, and Israel My called: I am He; I am the first, I also am the last.
12雅各 —我所选召的 以色列 啊, 当听我言: 我是耶和华, 我是首先的,也是末后的。
13Yea, My hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand hath spread out the heavens; when I call unto them, they stand up together.
13我手立了地的根基; 我右手铺张诸天; 我一招呼便都立住。
14Assemble yourselves, all ye, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? He whom the LORD loveth shall perform His pleasure on Babylon, and show His arm on the Chaldeans.
14你们都当聚集而听, 他们内中谁说过这些事? 耶和华所爱的人必向 巴比伦 行他所喜悦的事; 他的膀臂也要 加在 迦勒底 人身上。
15I, even I, have spoken, yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
15惟有我曾说过,我又选召他, 领他来,他的道路就必亨通。
16Come ye near unto Me, hear ye this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord GOD hath sent me, and His spirit.
16你们要就近我来听这话: 我从起头并未曾在隐密处说话; 自从有这事,我就在那里。 现在,主耶和华差遣我和他的灵来。
17Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD thy God, who teacheth thee for thy profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
17耶和华—你的救赎主, 以色列 的圣者如此说: 我是耶和华—你的 神, 教训你,使你得益处, 引导你所当行的路。
18Oh that thou wouldest hearken to My commandments! then would thy peace be as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea;
18甚愿你素来听从我的命令! 你的平安就如河水; 你的公义就如海浪。
19Thy seed also would be as the sand, and the offspring of thy body like the grains thereof; his name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before Me.
19你的后裔也必多如 海 沙; 你腹中所生的也必多如沙粒。 他的名在我面前必不剪除, 也不灭绝。
20Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye: 'The LORD hath redeemed His servant Jacob.
20你们要从 巴比伦 出来, 从 迦勒底 人中逃脱, 以欢呼的声音传扬说: 耶和华救赎了他的仆人 雅各 ! 你们要将这事宣扬到地极。
21And they thirsted not when He led them through the deserts; He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; He cleaved the rock also, and the waters gushed out.'
21耶和华引导他们经过沙漠。 他们并不干渴; 他为他们使水从磐石而流, 分裂磐石,水就涌出。
22There is no peace, saith the LORD concerning the wicked.
22耶和华说: 恶人必不得平安!
