Isaiah 49:1-3
Living Bible
49 Listen to me, all of you in far-off lands: The Lord called me before my birth. From within the womb he called me by my name. 2 God will make my words of judgment sharp as swords. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand; I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver.
3 He said to me: “You are my servant, a prince of power[a] with God, and you shall bring me glory.”

The Servant of the Lord
49 Listen to me, (A)O coastlands,
and give attention, you peoples (B)from afar.
(C)The Lord called me from the womb,
from the body of my mother he named my name.
2 (D)He made my mouth like a sharp sword;
(E)in the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me a polished arrow;
in his quiver he hid me away.
3 And he said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, (F)in whom I will be glorified.”[a]

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
主的仆人
49 众海岛啊,听我说!
远方的众民啊,要留心听!
我还没有出生,
耶和华就呼召我;
我还没有离开母腹,
祂就点我的名。
2 祂使我的口像利剑,
用祂的手护庇我;
祂使我成为磨亮的箭,
把我藏在祂的箭囊中。
3 祂对我说:“以色列啊,
你是我的仆人,
我要借着你彰显我的荣耀。”
