Isaiah 42

1 “Here is My Servant, whom I uphold, My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will bring justice to the nations.

1 “看啊，我所扶持、所拣选、所喜悦的仆人， 我已将我的灵赐给祂， 祂必将正义带给万邦。

2 He will not cry out or raise His voice, nor make His voice heard in the streets.

2 祂不喧嚷，不呼喊， 不在街上高声说话。

3 A bruised reed He will not break and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice.

3 压伤的芦苇，祂不折断； 将残的灯火，祂不吹灭。 祂必信实地带来正义。

4 He will not grow weak or discouraged before He has established justice on the earth. In His law the islands will put their hope.”

4 祂不灰心也不沮丧， 直到祂在地上设立正义。 众海岛都仰望祂的训诲。”

5 This is what God the LORD says—He who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its offspring, who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who walk in it:

5 创造诸天、铺展穹苍、 铺设大地和地上的一切、 赐给世人生命气息的耶和华上帝说：

6 “I, the LORD, have called you for a righteous purpose, and I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and appoint you to be a covenant for the people and a light to the nations,

6 “我耶和华凭公义呼召你， 我必扶持你，保护你， 使你做我与众民立约的中保、 成为列国的光，

7 to open the eyes of the blind, to bring prisoners out of the dungeon and those sitting in darkness out from the prison house.

7 使你开盲人的眼睛、 从监牢中释放囚犯、 领出坐在黑暗中的人。

8 I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols.

8 我是耶和华，这就是我的名字。 我不会把我的荣耀给假神， 也不会把我当受的赞美给雕刻的偶像。

9 Behold, the former things have happened, and now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”

9 看啊，以前的预言都已应验， 我现在要宣告新的预言， 把还未发生的事告诉你们。”

10 Sing to the LORD a new song—His praise from the ends of the earth—you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who dwell in them.

10 航海的和海中的一切、 众海岛和岛上的居民啊， 你们要向耶和华高唱新歌， 从地极赞美祂。

11 Let the desert and its cities raise their voices; let the villages of Kedar cry aloud. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them cry out from the mountaintops.

11 旷野和其中的城邑以及基达人居住的村庄， 要一同扬声颂赞。 西拉的居民要歌唱， 在山顶欢呼。

12 Let them give glory to the LORD and declare His praise in the islands.

12 他们要把荣耀归给耶和华， 在众海岛上颂赞祂。

13 The LORD goes forth like a mighty one; He stirs up His zeal like a warrior. He shouts; yes, He roars in triumph over His enemies:

13 耶和华像出征的勇士， 像斗志激昂的战士。 祂必高呼呐喊，战胜仇敌。

14 “I have kept silent from ages past; I have remained quiet and restrained. But now I will groan like a woman in labor; I will at once gasp and pant.

14 “我已沉默多时，我克制不语， 现在我要像分娩的妇人一样喊叫， 气喘吁吁。

15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation. I will turn the rivers into dry land and drain the marshes.

15 我要使大山小丘一片荒凉， 上面的草木都枯萎。 我要使河川变成岛屿， 池塘干涸。

16 I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on unfamiliar paths. I will turn darkness into light before them and rough places into level ground. These things I will do for them, and I will not forsake them.

16 我要带领盲人走他们不认识的路， 引导他们走陌生的道。 我要把他们面前的黑暗变为光明， 坎坷之地变得平坦。 我必行这些事，我必不离弃他们。

17 But those who trust in idols and say to molten images, ‘You are our gods!’ will be turned back in utter shame.

17 但那些信靠雕刻的偶像、 供奉金属铸像的必败退， 羞愧难当。

18 Listen, you deaf ones; look, you blind ones, that you may see!

18 “耳聋的人啊，听吧！ 眼瞎的人啊，看吧！

19 Who is blind but My servant, or deaf like the messenger I am sending? Who is blind like My covenant partner, or blind like the servant of the LORD?

19 有谁比我的仆人更瞎， 比我差遣的使者更聋呢？ 有谁像那些与我立约的人那样瞎呢？ 有谁像耶和华的仆人那样瞎呢？

20 Though seeing many things, you do not keep watch. Though your ears are open, you do not hear.”

20 你们看见许多事却不领会， 耳朵开着却听不见。”

21 The LORD was pleased, for the sake of His righteousness, to magnify His law and make it glorious.

21 耶和华乐意使祂的律法尊大荣耀， 好彰显祂的公义。

22 But this is a people plundered and looted, all trapped in caves or imprisoned in dungeons. They have become plunder with no one to rescue them, and loot with no one to say, “Send them back!”

22 但这些百姓饱受劫掠， 都被困在坑中，囚在监内。 他们沦为俘虏，无人搭救； 被当作战利品掳走，无人追回。

23 Who among you will pay attention to this? Who will listen and obey hereafter?

23 你们当中谁肯专心听呢？ 以后谁肯留心倾听呢？

24 Who gave Jacob up for spoil, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the LORD, against whom we have sinned? They were unwilling to walk in His ways, and they would not obey His law.

24 谁把雅各交给了掳掠者， 使以色列任人劫掠？ 难道不是我们得罪的耶和华吗？ 他们不肯遵行祂的道， 也不听从祂的训诲。

25 So He poured out on them His furious anger and the fierceness of battle. It enveloped them in flames, but they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.

25 所以，祂把烈怒和战火倾倒在他们身上。 他们被火包围，却不明白； 被烈火焚身，却不在乎。
