Isaiah 49
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Listen, O isles, unto me, and hearken, ye peoples, from far: the LORD hath called me from the womb, from the bowels of my mother hath He made mention of my name;
1众海岛啊，当听我言！ 远方的众民哪，留心而听！ 自我出胎，耶和华就选召我； 自出母腹，他就提我的名。
2And He hath made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of His hand hath He hid me; and He hath made me a polished shaft, in His quiver hath He concealed me;
2他使我的口如快刀， 将我藏在他手荫之下； 又使我成为磨亮的箭， 将我藏在他箭袋之中；
3And He said unto me: 'Thou art My servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.'
3对我说：你是我的仆人 以色列 ； 我必因你得荣耀。
4But I said: 'I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and vanity; yet surely my right is with the LORD, and my recompense with my God.'
4我却说：我劳碌是徒然； 我尽力是虚无虚空。 然而，我 当得 的理必在耶和华那里； 我的赏赐必在我 神那里。
5And now saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, and that Israel be gathered unto Him — for I am honourable in the eyes of the LORD, and my God is become my strength —
5耶和华从我出胎，造就我作他的仆人， 要使 雅各 归向他， 使 以色列 到他那里聚集。 原来耶和华看我为尊贵； 我的 神也成为我的力量。
6Yea, He saith: 'It is too light a thing that thou shouldest be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the offspring of Israel; I will also give thee for a light of the nations, that My salvation may be unto the end of the earth.'
6现在他说：你作我的仆人， 使 雅各 众支派复兴， 使 以色列 中得保全的归回尚为小事， 我还要使你作外邦人的光， 叫你施行我的救恩，直到地极。
7Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him who is despised of men, to him who is abhorred of nations, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves; because of the LORD that is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.
7救赎主— 以色列 的圣者耶和华 对那被人所藐视、本国所憎恶、 官长所虐待的如此说： 君王要看见就站起， 首领也要下拜； 都因信实的耶和华， 就是拣选你— 以色列 的圣者。
8Thus saith the LORD: In an acceptable time have I answered thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
8耶和华如此说： 在悦纳的时候，我应允了你； 在拯救的日子，我济助了你。 我要保护你， 使你作众民的中保； 复兴遍地， 使人承受荒凉之地为业。
9Saying to the prisoners: 'Go forth'; to them that are in darkness: 'Show yourselves'; they shall feed in the ways, and in all high hills shall be their pasture;
9对那被捆绑的人说：出来吧！ 对那在黑暗的人说：显露吧！ 他们在路上必得饮食， 在一切净光的高处必有食物。
10They shall not hunger nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor sun smite them; for He that hath compassion on them will lead them, even by the springs of water will He guide them.
10不饥不渴， 炎热和烈日必不伤害他们； 因为怜恤他们的必引导他们， 领他们到水泉旁边。
11And I will make all My mountains a way, and My highways shall be raised on high.
11我必使我的众山成为大道； 我的大路也被修高。
12Behold, these shall come from far; and, lo, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.
12看哪，这些从远方来； 这些从北方、从西方来； 这些从 秦 国来。
13Sing, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth, and break forth into singing, O mountains; for the LORD hath comforted His people, and hath compassion upon His afflicted.
13诸天哪，应当欢呼！ 大地啊，应当快乐！ 众山哪，应当发声歌唱！ 因为耶和华已经安慰他的百姓， 也要怜恤他困苦之民。
14But Zion said: 'The LORD hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.'
14锡安 说：耶和华离弃了我； 主忘记了我。
15Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.
15妇人焉能忘记她吃奶的婴孩， 不怜恤她所生的儿子？ 即或有忘记的， 我却不忘记你。
16Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; thy walls are continually before Me.
16看哪，我将你铭刻在我掌上； 你的墙垣常在我眼前。
17Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth from thee.
17你的儿女必急速 归回 ； 毁坏你的，使你荒废的，必都离你出去，
18Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride.
18你举目向四方观看； 他们都聚集来到你这里。 耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓： 你必要以他们为妆饰佩戴， 以他们为华带束腰，像新妇一样。
19For thy waste and thy desolate places and thy land that hath been destroyed — surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
19至于你荒废凄凉之处， 并你被毁坏之地， 现今众民居住必显为太窄； 吞灭你的必离你遥远。
20The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears: 'The place is too strait for me; give place to me that I may dwell.'
20你必听见丧子之后所生的儿女说： 这地方我居住太窄， 求你给我地方居住。
21Then shalt thou say in thy heart: 'Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? And who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?'
21那时你心里必说：我既丧子独居， 是被掳的，漂流在外。 谁给我生这些？ 谁将这些养大呢？ 撇下我一人独居的时候， 这些在哪里呢？
22Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and set up Mine ensign to the peoples, and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
22主耶和华如此说： 我必向列国举手， 向万民竖立大旗； 他们必将你的众子怀中抱来， 将你的众女肩上扛来。
23And kings shall be thy foster-fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers; they shall bow down to thee with their face to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD, for they shall not be ashamed that wait for Me.
23列王必作你的养父； 王后必作你的乳母。 他们必将脸伏地，向你下拜， 并舔你脚上的尘土。 你便知道我是耶和华； 等候我的必不致羞愧。
24Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of the victorious be delivered?
24勇士抢去的岂能夺回？ 该掳掠的岂能解救吗？
25But thus saith the LORD: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; and I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
25但耶和华如此说： 就是勇士所掳掠的，也可以夺回； 强暴人所抢的，也可以解救。 与你相争的，我必与他相争； 我要拯救你的儿女。
26And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
26并且我必使那欺压你的吃自己的肉， 也要以自己的血喝醉，好像喝甜酒一样。 凡有血气的必都知道我—耶和华是你的救主， 是你的救赎主，是 雅各 的大能者。
