Isaiah 49:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 He says,
“It is not enough for you to be My Servant
raising up the tribes of Jacob
and restoring the protected ones of Israel.
I will also make you a light for the nations,(A)
to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.”(B)
7 This is what the Lord,
the Redeemer(C) of Israel, his Holy One, says
to one who is despised,
to one abhorred by people,[a](D)
to a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see and stand up,
and princes[b] will bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel(E)—and He has chosen you.”(F)
8 This is what the Lord says:
I will answer you in a time of favor,
and I will help you in the day of salvation.(G)
I will keep you, and I will appoint you
to be a covenant for the people,(H)
to restore the land,
to make them possess the desolate inheritances,

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
6 祂對我說：「我不僅要你做我的僕人，
去復興雅各的眾支派，
使以色列的餘民重歸故土，
我還要使你成為外族人的光，
好把我的救恩帶到地極。」
7 以色列的救贖主和聖者——耶和華對受藐視、
被本國人憎恨、
遭官長奴役的那位說：
「因為揀選你的以色列的聖者耶和華是信實的，
君王必在你面前肅然起立，
首領必在你面前俯伏下拜。」
以色列的復興
8 耶和華說：
「在悅納的時候，我應允了你；
在拯救的日子，我幫助了你。
我要保護你，
使你做我跟民眾立約的中保，
復興家園，
分配荒涼的產業。
