以賽亞書 51
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
主對錫安的安慰
51 耶和華說：「追求公義、
尋求我的人啊，聽我說。
你們要追想那磐石，
你們是從那裡被鑿出來的；
你們要追想那岩穴，
你們是從那裡被挖出來的。
2 你們要追想你們的祖先亞伯拉罕和生你們的撒拉。
我呼召亞伯拉罕的時候，
他是孤身一人，
但我賜福給他，
使他子孫眾多。
3 我必安慰錫安和錫安所有的荒場，
使曠野像伊甸園，
使沙漠變成我的園囿，
裡面有歡喜、快樂、感謝和歌頌的聲音。
4 「我的子民啊，要留心聽我的話；
我的國民啊，要側耳聽我說。
因為我必賜下訓誨，
我的公正必成為萬民的光。
5 我的公義臨近，
我的拯救已經開始，
我的臂膀要審判萬民。
眾海島都在等候我，
仰賴我的臂膀。
6 你們舉目仰望穹蒼，
俯首觀看大地吧。
穹蒼必像煙雲消散，
大地必像衣服一樣漸漸破舊，
地上的居民必像蚊蠅一樣死亡。
但我的救恩永遠長存，
我的公義永不廢除。
7 認識公義、銘記我訓誨的人啊，
聽我說。
你們不要害怕人的辱罵，
也不要畏懼他們的譭謗。
8 因為蛀蟲必吃掉他們，
像吃衣服；
蟲子必蠶食他們，如食羊毛。
但我的公義永遠長存，
我的救恩延及萬代。」
9 耶和華啊，伸出臂膀，
施展能力吧，
像在從前的世代一樣施展你的能力吧！
難道不是你砍碎了拉哈伯，
刺死了海怪嗎？
10 難道不是你使海洋和深淵乾涸，
在海中開出道路讓蒙救贖的人穿過的嗎？
11 耶和華所救贖的人必回來，
必歡唱著回到錫安，
得到永遠的福樂。
他們將歡喜快樂，
再沒有憂愁和歎息。
12 耶和華說：「安慰你們的是我，是我。
你為什麼要害怕難逃一死、
生命如草芥的世人呢？
13 難道你忘記了創造你、
鋪展穹蒼、
奠立大地根基的耶和華嗎？
難道因為試圖毀滅你的欺壓者大發怒氣，
你就整天驚恐不安嗎？
他們的怒氣如今在哪裡呢？
14 被囚的人快得釋放了，
他們不會死在牢中，
也不會缺乏食物。
15 我是你的上帝耶和華，
我翻動大海、捲起波濤，
萬軍之耶和華是我的名。
16 我把我的話傳給你，
用我的手庇護你。
我鋪展穹蒼，奠立大地的根基，
對錫安說，『你是我的子民。』」
17 耶路撒冷啊，醒來，醒來，站起來吧！你從耶和華手中的杯裡喝了祂的憤怒，喝乾了那杯使人東倒西歪的酒。
18 你生育的兒子沒有一個來引導你，
你撫養成人的眾子沒有一個來攙扶你。
19 荒涼、毀滅、饑荒、
戰禍已臨到你身上，
誰會為你哀哭呢？
誰能安慰你呢[a]？
20 你的兒子們昏倒在街頭，
好像羚羊掉進網羅，
你的上帝耶和華把祂的憤怒和責備重重地降在他們身上。
21 你這身受痛苦、並非因酒而醉的人啊，
要聽我的話。
22 你的主耶和華是為祂子民申辯的上帝，祂說：
「看啊，我已從你手中拿走那使人東倒西歪的杯和盛滿我憤怒的碗，
你必不再喝。
23 我必把這杯給苦待你的人，
他們曾對你說，『趴下，
我們好從你身上走過。』
你曾把你的背當作地面，
當作街道任人踐踏。」

Yahweh’s Righteousness Is Forever
51 “(A)Listen to Me, you who (B)pursue righteousness,
Who seek Yahweh:
Look to the (C)rock from which you were hewn
And to the [a]quarry from which you were dug.
2 Look to (D)Abraham your father
And to Sarah who brought you forth through labor pains;
When he (E)was but one I called him,
Then I blessed him and multiplied him.”
3 Indeed, (F)Yahweh will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her (G)waste places.
And her (H)wilderness He will make like (I)Eden,
And her desert like the (J)garden of Yahweh;
(K)Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.
4 “(L)Pay attention to Me, O My people,
And give ear to Me, O My [b]nation;
For a (M)law will go forth from Me,
And I will [c]set My (N)justice for a (O)light of the peoples.
5 My (P)righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth,
And My (Q)arms will judge the peoples;
The (R)coastlands will hope in Me,
And for My (S)arm they will wait expectantly.
6 (T)Lift up your eyes to the sky,
Then look to the earth beneath;
For the (U)sky will vanish like smoke,
And the (V)earth will wear out like a garment,
And its inhabitants will die [d]in like manner;
But My (W)salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not be dismayed.
7 (X)Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
A people in whose (Y)heart is My law;
Do not fear the (Z)reproach of man,
Nor be dismayed at their revilings.
8 For the (AA)moth will eat them like a garment,
And the (AB)grub will eat them like wool.
But My (AC)righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation to all generations.”
9 (AD)Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Yahweh;
Awake as in the (AE)days of old, the generations of long ago.
(AF)Was it not You who chopped Rahab in pieces,
Who pierced the (AG)dragon?
10 Was it not You who (AH)dried up the sea,
The waters of the great deep,
Who made the depths of the sea a pathway
For the (AI)redeemed to cross over?
11 So the (AJ)ransomed of Yahweh will return
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
And (AK)everlasting gladness will be on their heads.
They will obtain joy and gladness,
And (AL)sorrow and sighing will flee away.
12 “I, even I, am He who (AM)comforts you.
Who are you that you are afraid of (AN)man who dies
And of the son of man who is made (AO)like grass,
13 That you have (AP)forgotten Yahweh your Maker,
Who (AQ)stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth,
That you (AR)tremble in dread continually all day long because of the wrath of the one who brings distress,
As he makes ready to bring ruin?
But where is the wrath of the (AS)one who brings distress?
14 The (AT)one in chains will soon be set free and will not die in the pit, (AU)nor will his bread be lacking. 15 For I am Yahweh your God, who (AV)stirs up the sea, and its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is His name. 16 I have (AW)put My words in your mouth and have (AX)covered you with the shadow of My hand, to [e](AY)establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
17 (AZ)Awaken yourself! Awaken yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem,
You who have (BA)drunk from the hand of Yahweh the cup of His wrath;
The [f]chalice of reeling you have [g]drained to the dregs.
18 There is (BB)none to guide her among all the sons she has borne,
Nor is there one to take hold of her by the hand among all the sons she has reared.
19 These two things have befallen you;
Who will console you?
The (BC)devastation and destruction, famine and sword;
How shall I comfort you?
20 Your sons have fainted;
They (BD)lie helpless at the head of every street,
Like an (BE)antelope in a net,
Full of the wrath of Yahweh,
The (BF)rebuke of your God.
21 Therefore, now, listen to this, you (BG)afflicted,
Who are (BH)drunk, but not with wine:
22 Thus says your Lord, Yahweh, even your God
Who (BI)contends for His people,
“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the (BJ)cup of reeling,
The [h]chalice of My wrath;
You will never drink it again.
23 I will (BK)set it into the hand of those who cause you grief,
Who have said to [i]you, ‘(BL)Lie down that we may walk over you.’
You have even set your back down like the ground
And like the street for those who walk over it.”
