以赛亚书 45
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶和华使塞鲁士兴起
45 “我耶和华膏立塞鲁士为王,
我牵着他的右手帮助他征服列国、降服列王;
我使城门洞开,
让他通行无阻。
我对他说,
2 ‘我要走在你前面,
为你铲平高山,
打破铜门,
砍断铁闩。
3 我要把隐藏的宝物和秘密收藏的财富赐给你,
好叫你知道点名呼召你的是我——以色列的上帝耶和华。
4 虽然你不认识我,
但为了我的仆人雅各,
我所拣选的以色列,
我还是点名呼召你,
赐给你一个尊贵的名号。
5 我是独一无二的耶和华,
除我以外再没有上帝。
虽然你不认识我,
但我还是赐你力量。
6 这样,从日出之地到日落之处,
普天下都知道除我以外,
别无他神,
我耶和华独一无二。
7 我造光明,也造黑暗;
赐平安,也降灾祸。
这一切都是我耶和华的作为。
8 “‘我使诸天降下甘露,
云彩降下公义,
使大地裂开,
萌生拯救和公义,
这是我耶和华的作为。’
9 “跟造物主争辩的人有祸了!
他不过是世上瓦器中的一件。
陶泥怎能对陶匠说,‘你在做什么’?
受造之物怎能说,‘造我的没手艺’?
10 对父亲说‘你生的是什么’
或对母亲说‘你产的是什么’的人有祸了!”
11 耶和华——以色列的圣者和创造主说:
“你们就我子民将来的事质问我吗?
你们发号施令要告诉我如何做吗?
12 是我造了大地,又造了地上的人;
我亲手铺展穹苍,
布置天上的万象。
13 我凭公义使塞鲁士王兴起,
我要让他的道路畅通无阻。
他必重建我的城,
释放我被掳的子民,
不是为了得报酬或奖赏。
这是万军之耶和华说的。”
14 耶和华说:
“埃及的出产和古实的货物必归你所有。
身材高大的西巴人必来归附你,
戴着锁链跟在你身后。
他们要向你下拜,
在你面前恳求,
并说,‘上帝真的与你们同在,
祂独一无二,除祂以外,
别无他神。’”
15 救主——以色列的上帝啊,
你真是一位隐藏自己的上帝。
16 制造偶像的都必蒙羞受辱,
一同惭愧。
17 但以色列必蒙耶和华拯救,
享受永远的救恩,
永远不会再蒙羞受辱。
18 创造诸天、塑造和建立大地给人居住、没有使地荒凉的耶和华上帝说:
“我是耶和华,是独一无二的上帝。
19 我没有在隐秘处暗暗地说话,
我没有对雅各的后裔说,
‘你们找不到我。’
我耶和华宣扬真理,
传讲正义。
20 “列国的流亡者啊,
你们要聚集到这里来。
那些抬着木头神像、
向不能救人的神明祷告的人真愚昧!
21 你们要彼此商议,
陈明你们的理由。
谁早已预言过今天发生的事?
谁很久以前就说过这些预言?
难道不是我耶和华吗?
除我以外别无他神。
我是公义的上帝,我是救主,
除我以外别无他神。
22 普世的人啊,归向我吧,
你们必蒙拯救,
因为我是独一无二的上帝。
23 我凭自己起誓,
我口中的话真实可靠,绝不更改,
‘万膝必向我跪拜,
万口必起誓效忠于我。’
24 他们必说,
‘只有耶和华那里才有公义和能力。’”
向祂发怒的必在祂面前蒙羞。
25 以色列的后裔必被耶和华称为义人,得到荣耀。
以赛亚书 45
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶和华兴起古列
45 “我耶和华所膏立的古列,
我紧握着他的右手,
使列国降服在他面前;
我也松开列王的腰带;
我使门户在他面前敞开,使城门不得关闭;耶和华对古列这样说:
2 我必亲自领导你,把高低不平的路修平;
铜门,我必打破;铁门,我必砍断。
3 我必把隐藏的宝物
和在隐密处的财宝赐给你,
使你知道我就是按着你的名呼召了你的耶和华,
以色列的 神。
4 因我的仆人雅各
和我所拣选的以色列的缘故,
我按着你的名呼召了你;
你虽然不认识我,
我却给你这个尊贵的名号。
耶和华以外没有真神
5 “我是耶和华,再没有别的神了;
除了我以外,并没有真神;
你虽然不认识我,我必坚固你,
6 为要叫从日出之地到日落之地的人都知道,
除了我以外,没有真神;
我是耶和华,再没有别的神了。
7 我造光,也造黑暗;
我赐平安,也降灾祸;
我耶和华是造成这一切事的。
8 诸天啊!你们要从上滴下公义,
让云层降下公义。
让大地裂开,生出救恩,
使公义一同生长,
是我耶和华创造了这事。
9 那与他的创造主争论的,有祸了!
他不过是地上瓦片中的一片瓦片,
泥土能对陶匠说:‘你在作甚么?’
或你所作成的说:‘他没有手’吗?
10 那对父亲说:‘你生的是甚么’,
或对母亲说:‘你产的是甚么’的,有祸了!”
11 以色列的圣者,造以色列的主耶和华这样说:
“你们可以问我将要来的事,
关于我的众子和我手所作的,你们也可以吩咐我回答。
12 我造了地,又造了人在地上;
我亲手展开了诸天,
又命定了天上的万象。
13 我凭着公义兴起了古列,
我必修平他的一切道路;
他必建造我的城,释放我被掳的子民,
不必用工价,也不用赏赐,这是万军之耶和华说的。”
14 耶和华这样说:
“埃及劳碌得来的和古实所得之利,
以及身量高大的西巴人,
都必过来归你,也要属你;
他们必带着锁炼过来随从你,
向你俯伏,
向你恳求,说:
‘ 神真的在你们中间,此外,再没有别的神,
没有别的真神。’”
15 拯救者以色列的 神啊!
你实在是隐藏自己的 神。
16 制造偶像的都必蒙羞受辱,
都要一同归于羞愧。
17 唯有以色列必靠着耶和华得救,
得着永远的拯救;
你们必不蒙羞,也不受辱,直到永远。
18 因为创造诸天的耶和华,他是 神,
塑造大地,把大地造成;他坚立大地;
他创造大地,不是荒凉的;
他塑造大地,是要给人居住;他这样说:
“我是耶和华,再没有别的 神。
19 我没有在隐密处、
在黑暗之地说过话;
我没有对雅各的后裔说过:
‘你们寻求我是徒然的。’
我耶和华讲说公义,
宣扬正直。
耶和华是独一的拯救者
20 “列国逃脱的人哪!你们要来集合,
一同近前来。
那些抬着木头做的偶像,
向不能拯救人的神祈求的,
真是无知。
21 你们述说吧!提出理由吧!
让他们彼此商议吧!
谁从古时使人听见这事呢?
谁从上古把这事述说出来呢?
不是我耶和华吗?
除了我以外,再没有 神,
我是公义的 神,又是拯救者;
除了我以外,并没有别的 神。
22 全地的人哪!你们都要归向我,都要得救。
因为我是 神,再没有别的 神。
23 我指着自己起誓,
我的口凭着公义说出的话,
决不改变:
‘万膝都必向我跪拜,万口都要指着我起誓。’
24 人论到我必说:‘只有在耶和华里面才有公义和能力’;
向他发怒的,都必来到他面前,并且要蒙羞。
25 以色列所有的后裔,
都必靠耶和华得称为义,并要夸胜。”
Isaiah 45
King James Version
45 Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.
14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
