以赛亚书 45
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
耶和华膏居鲁士统辖列国
45 “我耶和华所膏的居鲁士,我搀扶他的右手,使列国降伏在他面前。我也要放松列王的腰带,使城门在他面前敞开,不得关闭。我对他如此说: 2 ‘我必在你前面行,修平崎岖之地;我必打破铜门,砍断铁闩。 3 我要将暗中的宝物和隐密的财宝赐给你,使你知道提名召你的,就是我耶和华以色列的神。 4 因我仆人雅各,我所拣选以色列的缘故,我就提名召你,你虽不认识我,我也加给你名号。
耶和华外别无他神
5 ‘我是耶和华,在我以外并没有别神,除了我以外再没有神。你虽不认识我,我必给你束腰, 6 从日出之地到日落之处,使人都知道除了我以外,没有别神。我是耶和华,在我以外并没有别神。 7 我造光,又造暗;我施平安,又降灾祸。造做这一切的,是我耶和华。’
8 “诸天哪,自上而滴,穹苍降下公义!地面开裂,产出救恩,使公义一同发生!这都是我耶和华所造的。
9 “祸哉,那与造他的主争论的!他不过是地上瓦片中的一块瓦片。泥土岂可对抟弄他的说‘你做什么’呢?所做的物岂可说‘你没有手’呢? 10 祸哉,那对父亲说‘你生的是什么呢’,或对母亲[a]说‘你产的是什么呢’!”
11 耶和华以色列的圣者,就是造就以色列的,如此说:“将来的事你们可以问我,至于我的众子,并我手的工作,你们可以求我命定[b]。 12 我造地,又造人在地上;我亲手铺张诸天,天上万象也是我所命定的。 13 我凭公义兴起居鲁士[c],又要修直他一切道路。他必建造我的城,释放我被掳的民,不是为工价,也不是为赏赐。”这是万军之耶和华说的。
14 耶和华如此说:“埃及劳碌得来的和古实的货物必归你,身量高大的西巴人必投降你,也要属你。他们必戴着锁链过来随从你,又向你下拜祈求你说:‘神真在你们中间,此外再没有别神,再没有别的神。’” 15 救主以色列的神啊,你实在是自隐的神! 16 凡制造偶像的,都必抱愧蒙羞,都要一同归于惭愧。 17 唯有以色列必蒙耶和华的拯救,得永远的救恩。你们必不蒙羞,也不抱愧,直到永世无尽。
18 创造诸天的耶和华,制造、成全大地的神——他创造、坚定大地,并非使地荒凉,是要给人居住——他如此说:“我是耶和华,再没有别神。 19 我没有在隐密黑暗之地说话,我没有对雅各的后裔说‘你们寻求我是徒然的’。我耶和华所讲的是公义,所说的是正直。
神乃独一救主
20 “你们从列国逃脱的人,要一同聚集前来。那些抬着雕刻木偶,祷告不能救人之神的,毫无知识。 21 你们要述说陈明你们的理,让他们彼此商议。谁从古时指明,谁从上古述说?不是我耶和华吗?除了我以外,再没有神。我是公义的神,又是救主,除了我以外,再没有别神。 22 地极的人都当仰望我,就必得救,因为我是神,再没有别神。 23 我指着自己起誓,我口所出的话是凭公义,并不返回:万膝必向我跪拜,万口必凭我起誓。 24 人论我说:‘公义、能力唯独在乎耶和华!人都必归向他,凡向他发怒的,必致蒙羞。 25 以色列的后裔都必因耶和华得称为义,并要夸耀。’”

Isaiah 45
New American Standard Bible
God Uses Cyrus
45 This is what the Lord says to (A)Cyrus His anointed,
Whom I have taken by the right (B)hand,
To (C)subdue nations before him
And [a]to (D)undo the weapons belt on the waist of kings;
To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
2 “I will go before you and (E)make the [b]rough places smooth;
I will (F)shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron (G)bars.
3 I will give you the [c](H)treasures of darkness
And hidden wealth of secret places,
So that you may know that it is I,
The Lord, the God of Israel, who (I)calls you by your name.
4 For the sake of (J)Jacob My servant,
And Israel My chosen one,
I have also (K)called you by your name;
I have given you a title of honor
Though you have (L)not known Me.
5 I am the Lord, and (M)there is no one else;
(N)There is no God except Me.
I will [d](O)arm you, though you have not known Me,
6 So that (P)people may know from the rising to the setting of the sun
That there is (Q)no one besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no one else,
7 The One (R)forming light and (S)creating darkness,
Causing [e]well-being and (T)creating disaster;
I am the Lord who does all these things.
God’s Supreme Power
8 “(U)Drip down, heavens, from above,
And let the clouds pour down righteousness;
Let the (V)earth open up and salvation bear fruit,
(W)And righteousness sprout with it.
I, the Lord, have created it.
9 “Woe to the one who (X)quarrels with [f]his Maker—
A piece of pottery [g]among the other earthenware pottery pieces!
Will the (Y)clay say to the [h]potter, ‘What are you doing?’
Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’?
10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you fathering?’
Or to a woman, ‘To what are you [i]giving birth?’”
11 This is what the (Z)Lord says, the Holy One of Israel and [j]his (AA)Maker:
“[k](AB)Ask Me about the things to come [l]concerning My (AC)sons,
And you shall commit to Me (AD)the work of My hands.
12 It is I who (AE)made the earth, and created mankind upon it.
I (AF)stretched out the heavens with My hands,
And I [m]ordained (AG)all their [n]lights.
13 I have stirred him in (AH)righteousness,
And I will (AI)make all his ways smooth.
He will (AJ)build My city and let My exiles go (AK)free,
Without any payment or reward,” says the Lord of armies.
14 This is what the Lord says:
“The [o]products of (AL)Egypt and the merchandise of [p](AM)Cush
And the Sabeans, men of stature,
Will (AN)come over to you and will be yours;
They will walk behind you, they will come over in (AO)chains
And will (AP)bow down to you;
They will plead with you:
‘[q](AQ)God certainly is [r]with you, and (AR)there is no one else,
No other God.’”
15 Truly, You are a God who (AS)hides Himself,
God of Israel, (AT)Savior!
16 They will be (AU)put to shame and even humiliated, all of them;
The (AV)manufacturers of idols will go away together in humiliation.
17 Israel has been saved by the Lord
With an (AW)everlasting salvation;
You (AX)will not be put to shame or humiliated
To all eternity.
18 For this is what the Lord says, He who (AY)created the heavens (He is the God who (AZ)formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it [s]as a (BA)waste place, but formed it to be (BB)inhabited):
“I am the Lord, and (BC)there is no one else.
19 (BD)I have not spoken in secret,
In [t]some dark land;
I did not say to the [u](BE)offspring of Jacob,
‘(BF)Seek Me in [v]a wasteland’;
I, the Lord, (BG)speak righteousness,
(BH)Declaring things that are right.
20 “(BI)Gather yourselves and come;
Come together, you survivors of the nations!
(BJ)They have no knowledge,
Who (BK)carry around [w]their wooden idol
And (BL)pray to a god who cannot save.
21 (BM)Declare and present your case;
Indeed, let them consult together.
(BN)Who has announced this long ago?
Who has long since declared it?
Is it not I, the Lord?
And there is (BO)no other God besides Me,
A righteous God and a (BP)Savior;
There is none except Me.
22 (BQ)Turn to Me and (BR)be saved, all the ends of the earth;
For I am God, and there is no other.
23 (BS)I have sworn by Myself;
The (BT)word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness
And will not turn back,
That to Me (BU)every knee will bow, every tongue will (BV)swear allegiance.
24 They will say of Me, ‘Only (BW)in the Lord are righteousness and strength.’
People will come to Him,
And (BX)all who were angry at Him will be put to shame.
25 In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
Will be (BY)justified and will (BZ)boast.”
