44:1
|
我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的以色列啊，现在你当听。
|
|
|
Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant, and Israel, who I have chosen:
|
|
44:2
|
造做你，又从你出胎造就你，并要帮助你的耶和华如此说：我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的耶书仑哪，不要害怕！
|
|
|
Thus saith Jehovah that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, who will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob my servant; and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
|
|
44:3
|
因为我要将水浇灌口渴的人，将河浇灌干旱之地。我要将我的灵浇灌你的后裔，将我的福浇灌你的子孙。
|
|
|
For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
|
|
44:4
|
他们要发生在草中，像溪水旁的柳树。
|
|
|
and they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
|
|
44:5
|
这个要说：我是属耶和华的；那个要以雅各的名自称；又一个要亲手写：归耶和华的（或作：在手上写归耶和华），并自称为以色列。
|
|
|
One shall say, I am Jehovah`s; and another shall call [himself] by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto Jehovah, and surname [himself] by the name of Israel.
|
|
44:6
|
耶和华以色列的君，以色列的救赎主万军之耶和华如此说：我是首先的，我是末后的；除我以外再没有真神。
|
|
|
Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.
|
|
44:7
|
自从我设立古时的民，谁能像我宣告，并且指明，又为自己陈说呢？让他将未来的事和必成的事说明。
|
|
|
And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and that shall come to pass, let them declare.
|
|
44:8
|
你们不要恐惧，也不要害怕。我岂不是从上古就说明指示你们吗？并且你们是我的见证！除我以外，岂有真神吗？诚然没有盘石，我不知道一个！
|
|
|
Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have I not declared unto thee of old, and showed it? and ye are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? yea, there is no Rock; I know not any.
|
|
44:9
|
制造雕刻偶像的尽都虚空；他们所喜悦的都无益处；他们的见证无所看见，无所知晓，他们便觉羞愧。
|
|
|
They that fashion a graven image are all of them vanity; and the things that they delight in shall not profit; and their own witnesses see not, nor know: that they may be put to shame.
|
|
44:10
|
谁制造神像，铸造无益的偶像？
|
|
|
Who hath fashioned a god, or molten an image that is profitable for nothing?
|
|
44:11
|
看哪，他的同伴都必羞愧。工匠也不过是人，任他们聚会，任他们站立，都必惧怕，一同羞愧。
|
|
|
Behold, all his fellows shall be put to shame; and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; they shall fear, they shall be put to shame together.
|
|
44:12
|
铁匠把铁在火炭中烧热，用锤打铁器，用他有力的膀臂锤成；他饥饿而无力，不喝水而发倦。
|
|
|
The smith [maketh] an axe, and worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with his strong arm: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth; he drinketh no water, and is faint.
|
|
44:13
|
木匠拉线，用笔划出样子，用刨子刨成形状，用圆尺划了模样，仿照人的体态，做成人形，好住在房屋中。
|
|
|
The carpenter stretcheth out a line; he marketh it out with a pencil; he shapeth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compasses, and shapeth it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house.
|
|
44:14
|
他砍伐香柏树，又取柞（或作：青桐）树和橡树，在树林中选定了一棵。他栽种松树，得雨长养。
|
|
|
He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the holm-tree and the oak, and strengtheneth for himself one among the trees of the forest: he planteth a fir-tree, and the rain doth nourish it.
|
|
44:15
|
这树，人可用以烧火；他自己取些烤火，又烧着烤饼，而且做神像跪拜，做雕刻的偶像向他叩拜。
|
|
|
Then shall it be for a man to burn; and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread: yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
|
|
44:16
|
他把一分烧在火中，把一分烤肉吃饱。自己烤火说：「啊哈，我暖和了，我见火了。」
|
|
|
He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied; yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire.
|
|
44:17
|
他用剩下的做了一神，就是雕刻的偶像。他向这偶像俯伏叩拜，祷告他说：「求你拯救我，因你是我的神。」
|
|
|
And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image; he falleth down unto it and worshippeth, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
|
|
44:18
|
他们不知道，也不思想；因为耶和华闭住他们的眼，不能看见，塞住他们的心，不能明白。
|
|
|
They know not, neither do they consider: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
|
|
44:19
|
谁心里也不醒悟，也没有知识，没有聪明，能说：「我曾拿一分在火中烧了，在炭火上烤过饼；我也烤过肉吃。这剩下的，我岂要作可憎的物吗？我岂可向木子叩拜呢？」
|
|
|
And none calleth to mind, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
|
|
44:20
|
他以灰为食，心中昏迷，使他偏邪，他不能自救，也不能说：「我右手中岂不是有虚谎吗？」
|
|
|
He feedeth on ashes; a deceived heart hath turned him aside; and he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
|
|
44:21
|
雅各，以色列啊，你是我的仆人，要记念这些事。以色列啊，你是我的仆人，我造就你必不忘记你。
|
|
|
Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
|
|
44:22
|
我涂抹了你的过犯，像厚云消散；我涂抹了你的罪恶，如薄云灭没。你当归向我，因我救赎了你。
|
|
|
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
|
|
44:23
|
诸天哪，应当歌唱，因为耶和华做成这事。地的深处啊，应当欢呼；众山应当发声歌唱；树林和其中所有的树都当如此！因为耶和华救赎了雅各，并要因以色列荣耀自己。
|
|
|
Sing, O ye heavens, for Jehovah hath done it; shout, ye lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.
|
|
44:24
|
从你出胎，造就你的救赎主耶和华如此说：我耶和华是创造万物的，是独自铺张诸天、铺开大地的。谁与我同在呢？
|
|
|
Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb: I am Jehovah, that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth (who is with me?);
|
|
44:25
|
使说假话的兆头失效，使占卜的癫狂，使智慧人退后，使他的知识变为愚拙；
|
|
|
that frustrateth the signs of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
|
|
44:26
|
使我仆人的话语立定，我使者的谋算成就。论到耶路撒冷说：必有人居住；论到犹大的城邑说：必被建造，其中的荒场我也必兴起。
|
|
|
that confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith of Jerusalem, She shall be inhabited; and of the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places thereof;
|
|
44:27
|
对深渊说：你干了吧！我也要使你的江河干涸。
|
|
|
that saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers;
|
|
44:28
|
论古列说：他是我的牧人，必成就我所喜悦的，必下令建造耶路撒冷，发命立稳圣殿的根基。
|
|
|
That saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure, even saying of Jerusalem, She shall be built; and of the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
