Salvation for Zion
51 Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness,
you who seek the Lord:
Look to the rock from which you were cut,
and to the quarry from which you were dug.
2 Look to Abraham your father,
and to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain.
When I called him, he was only one;
I blessed him and made him many.(A)
3 For the Lord will comfort Zion;(B)
He will comfort all her waste places,
and He will make her wilderness like Eden,(C)
and her desert like the garden of the Lord.(D)
Joy and gladness will be found in her,
thanksgiving and melodious song.
4 Pay attention to Me, My people,
and listen to Me, My nation;
for instruction will come from Me,
and My justice for a light to the nations.(E)
I will bring it about quickly.
5 My righteousness is near,(F)
My salvation appears,
and My arms will bring justice to the nations.(G)
The coastlands[a] will put their hope in Me,
and they will look to My strength.[b]
6 Look up to the heavens,
and look at the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish like smoke,
the earth will wear out like a garment,
and its inhabitants will die like gnats.[c](H)
But My salvation will last forever,(I)
and My righteousness will never be shattered.
7 Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
the people in whose heart is My instruction:(J)
do not fear disgrace by men,
and do not be shattered by their taunts.
8 For the moth will devour them like a garment,(K)
and the worm will eat them like wool.(L)
But My righteousness will last forever,
and My salvation for all generations.
9 Wake up, wake up!
Put on the strength of the Lord’s power.
Wake up as in days past,
as in generations of long ago.
Wasn’t it You who hacked Rahab to pieces,(M)
who pierced the sea monster?(N)
10 Wasn’t it You who dried up the sea,(O)
the waters of the great deep,
who made the sea-bed into a road
for the redeemed to pass over?(P)
11 And the redeemed of the Lord will return(Q)
and come to Zion with singing,
crowned with unending joy.
Joy and gladness will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee.
12 I—I am the One who comforts you.
Who are you that you should fear man who dies,(R)
or a son of man who is given up like grass?(S)
13 But you have forgotten the Lord, your Maker,
who stretched out the heavens
and laid the foundations of the earth.(T)
You are in constant dread all day long
because of the fury of the oppressor,
who has set himself to destroy.
But where is the fury of the oppressor?(U)
14 The prisoner[d] is soon to be set free;
he will not die and go to the Pit,
and his food will not be lacking.
15 For I am Yahweh your God
who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar(V)—
His name is Yahweh of Hosts.
16 I have put My words in your mouth,(W)
and covered you in the shadow of My hand,(X)
in order to plant[e] the heavens,
to found the earth,
and to say to Zion, “You are My people.”
17 Wake yourself, wake yourself up!
Stand up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk the cup of His fury(Y)
from the hand of the Lord;
you who have drunk the goblet to the dregs—
the cup that causes people to stagger.
18 There is no one to guide her
among all the children she has raised;
there is no one to take hold of her hand
among all the offspring she has brought up.
19 These two things have happened to you:(Z)
devastation and destruction,
famine and sword.
Who will grieve for you?
How can I[f] comfort you?
20 Your children have fainted;
they lie at the head of every street
like an antelope in a net.
They are full of the Lord’s fury,
the rebuke of your God.
21 So listen to this, afflicted
and drunken one—but not with wine.(AA)
22 This is what your Lord says—
Yahweh, even your God,
who defends His people(AB)—
“Look, I have removed
the cup of staggering from your hand;
that goblet, the cup of My fury.
You will never drink it again.
23 I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,
who said to you:(AC)
Lie down, so we can walk over you.
You made your back like the ground,
and like a street for those who walk on it.

安慰錫安的話
51 追求公義、尋求耶和華的啊！
你們要聽我的話。
你們要瞻仰那磐石，你們就是從其上鑿出來的；
你們要瞻仰那採石坑，你們就是從其中挖出來的。
2 你們要瞻仰你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕，
他們也要瞻仰那生你們的撒拉。
亞伯拉罕獨自一人的時候，我呼召了他，
賜福給他，使他有很多子孫。
3 耶和華必安慰錫安，
他要安慰它的一切荒場，
使它的曠野像伊甸園一樣，
使它的荒地像耶和華的園子一般，
在其中必有歡喜快樂、
感謝和歌聲。
4 我的子民哪！你們要留心聽我；
我的民族啊！你們要側耳聽我。
因為訓誨必從我而去；
我必堅立我的判詞為萬民之光。
5 我的公義臨近，我的拯救已經發出了，
我的膀臂審判萬民，
眾海島的人都要等候我，
並且仰賴我的膀臂。
6 你們要仰觀天空，
俯視大地；
因為諸天必像煙雲消散，
大地要像衣服漸漸破舊；
其上的居民必像蠓蟲死亡（“必像蠓蟲死亡”或譯：“必要這樣死去”），
但我的拯救卻永遠長存，
我的公義也不會廢去。
7 認識公義，把我的訓誨存在心裡的人民哪！
你們要聽我的話。
你們不要怕人的辱罵，
也不要因人的毀謗而驚惶。
8 因為蛀蟲必吃他們，像吃衣服一樣；
蟲子必吃他們，像吃羊羢一樣。
但我的公義永遠長存。
我的拯救直到萬代。
9 耶和華的膀臂啊，醒來吧！醒來吧！穿上能力吧！
像古時的日子，像上古的世代一樣醒來吧！
從前砍碎了拉哈伯，
刺透了海龍的，不是你嗎？
10 使海，就是大淵的水乾涸，
使海的深處變為蒙救贖的人
經過之路的，
不是你嗎？
11 耶和華所贖的人必歸回；
他們必歡呼著進入錫安；
永遠的快樂要臨到他們的頭上。
他們必得著歡喜快樂，
憂愁歎息都必逃避。
12 “我，我耶和華是安慰你們的；
你是誰，竟怕那會死的人，
怕那被造如草的世人呢？
13 你忘記了造你的耶和華，
就是那展開諸天，
奠定大地的根基的；
又因那欺壓者準備行毀滅的時候所發的烈怒，
你就終日不住懼怕呢？
其實那欺壓者的烈怒在哪裡呢？
14 被擄的快得釋放了，
他們必不會死，必不會下到陰間裡，
他們的食物也必不會缺乏。
15 我是耶和華你們的 神，
就是那攪動大海，使海中的波浪澎湃的；
萬軍之耶和華是他的名。
16 我把我的話放在你的口裡，
用我的手影蔽護你，
好立定諸天，奠定大地的根基，
對錫安說：‘你是我的子民。’”
17 耶路撒冷啊，醒來！醒來！站起來吧！
你從耶和華的手中喝了他烈怒的杯，
喝盡了那使人搖搖擺擺的爵。
18 她所生的眾子中，沒有一個引導她的；
她養大的眾子中，沒有一個扶持她的。
19 荒涼與毀滅，饑荒與刀劍，
這兩樣臨到你，
誰為你悲哀呢？
誰能安慰你呢（按照《馬索拉文本》，“誰能安慰你呢？”作“我如何能安慰你呢？”；現參照《死海古卷》和其他古譯本翻譯）？
20 你的眾子昏倒了，
在各街頭上躺臥，
好像羚羊在網羅之中；
他們飽嘗了耶和華的烈怒，
你的 神的斥責。
21 所以，你這困苦的，
不是因酒而醉倒的，要聽這話。
22 你的主耶和華，就是為自己的子民爭辯的 神，
這樣說：
“看哪！我已經把那使人搖搖擺擺的杯，
就是我烈怒的爵，
從你的手裡挪去了；你必不再喝這杯。
23 我必把這杯放在那些苦待你的人的手裡；
他們曾對你說：‘你屈身俯伏，讓我們走過去吧！’
你就以你的背作陸地，作街道，
任由他們踏過去。”

Everlasting Salvation for Zion
51 “Listen(A) to me, you who pursue righteousness(B)
and who seek(C) the Lord:
Look to the rock(D) from which you were cut
and to the quarry from which you were hewn;
2 look to Abraham,(E) your father,
and to Sarah, who gave you birth.
When I called him he was only one man,
and I blessed him and made him many.(F)
3 The Lord will surely comfort(G) Zion(H)
and will look with compassion on all her ruins;(I)
he will make her deserts like Eden,(J)
her wastelands(K) like the garden of the Lord.
Joy and gladness(L) will be found in her,
thanksgiving(M) and the sound of singing.
4 “Listen to me, my people;(N)
hear me,(O) my nation:
Instruction(P) will go out from me;
my justice(Q) will become a light to the nations.(R)
5 My righteousness draws near speedily,
my salvation(S) is on the way,(T)
and my arm(U) will bring justice to the nations.
The islands(V) will look to me
and wait in hope(W) for my arm.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
look at the earth beneath;
the heavens will vanish like smoke,(X)
the earth will wear out like a garment(Y)
and its inhabitants die like flies.
But my salvation(Z) will last forever,(AA)
my righteousness will never fail.(AB)
7 “Hear me, you who know what is right,(AC)
you people who have taken my instruction to heart:(AD)
Do not fear the reproach of mere mortals
or be terrified by their insults.(AE)
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment;(AF)
the worm(AG) will devour them like wool.
But my righteousness will last forever,(AH)
my salvation through all generations.”
9 Awake, awake,(AI) arm(AJ) of the Lord,
clothe yourself with strength!(AK)
Awake, as in days gone by,
as in generations of old.(AL)
Was it not you who cut Rahab(AM) to pieces,
who pierced that monster(AN) through?
10 Was it not you who dried up the sea,(AO)
the waters of the great deep,(AP)
who made a road in the depths of the sea(AQ)
so that the redeemed(AR) might cross over?
11 Those the Lord has rescued(AS) will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;(AT)
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy(AU) will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.(AV)
12 “I, even I, am he who comforts(AW) you.
Who are you that you fear(AX) mere mortals,(AY)
human beings who are but grass,(AZ)
13 that you forget(BA) the Lord your Maker,(BB)
who stretches out the heavens(BC)
and who lays the foundations of the earth,
that you live in constant terror(BD) every day
because of the wrath of the oppressor,
who is bent on destruction?
For where is the wrath of the oppressor?(BE)
14 The cowering prisoners will soon be set free;(BF)
they will not die in their dungeon,
nor will they lack bread.(BG)
15 For I am the Lord your God,
who stirs up the sea(BH) so that its waves roar(BI)—
the Lord Almighty(BJ) is his name.
16 I have put my words in your mouth(BK)
and covered you with the shadow of my hand(BL)—
I who set the heavens in place,
who laid the foundations of the earth,(BM)
and who say to Zion, ‘You are my people.(BN)’”
The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath
17 Awake, awake!(BO)
Rise up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk from the hand of the Lord
the cup(BP) of his wrath,(BQ)
you who have drained to its dregs(BR)
the goblet that makes people stagger.(BS)
18 Among all the children(BT) she bore
there was none to guide her;(BU)
among all the children she reared
there was none to take her by the hand.(BV)
19 These double calamities(BW) have come upon you—
who can comfort you?(BX)—
ruin and destruction,(BY) famine(BZ) and sword(CA)—
who can[a] console you?
20 Your children have fainted;
they lie at every street corner,(CB)
like antelope caught in a net.(CC)
They are filled with the wrath(CD) of the Lord,
with the rebuke(CE) of your God.
21 Therefore hear this, you afflicted(CF) one,
made drunk,(CG) but not with wine.
22 This is what your Sovereign Lord says,
your God, who defends(CH) his people:
“See, I have taken out of your hand
the cup(CI) that made you stagger;
from that cup, the goblet of my wrath,
you will never drink again.
23 I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,(CJ)
who said to you,
‘Fall prostrate(CK) that we may walk(CL) on you.’
And you made your back like the ground,
like a street to be walked on.”(CM)
