Isaiah 45

1 This is what the LORD says to Cyrus His anointed, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, to open the doors before him, so that the gates will not be shut:

1 “我耶和华膏立塞鲁士为王， 我牵着他的右手帮助他征服列国、降服列王； 我使城门洞开， 不再关闭。 我对他说，

2 “I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.

2 ‘我要走在你前面， 为你夷平高山， 打破铜门， 砍断铁闩。

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.

3 我要把隐藏的宝物和秘密收藏的财富赐给你， 好叫你知道点名呼召你的是我——以色列的上帝耶和华。

4 For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.

4 虽然你不认识我， 但为了我的仆人雅各， 我所拣选的以色列， 我还是点名呼召你， 赐给你一个尊贵的名号。

5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,

5 我是独一无二的耶和华， 除我以外再没有上帝。 虽然你不认识我， 但我还是赐你力量。

6 so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

6 这样，从日出之地到日落之处， 普天下都知道除我以外， 别无他神， 我是独一无二的耶和华。

7 I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

7 我造光明，也造黑暗； 赐平安，也降灾祸。 这一切都是我耶和华的作为。

8 Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.

8 “‘诸天啊，要降下甘露， 云彩要降下公义， 大地要裂开，萌生救恩和公义， 这是我耶和华创造的。’

9 Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker—one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?

9 “跟造物主争辩的人有祸了！ 他不过是世上瓦器中的一件。 陶泥怎能对陶匠说‘你在做什么’？ 受造之物怎能说‘造我的没手艺’？

10 Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to his mother, ‘What have you brought forth?’”

10 对父亲说‘你生的是什么’， 或对母亲说‘你产的是什么’的人有祸了！”

11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “Concerning things to come, do you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?

11 以色列的圣者和创造主耶和华说： “你们就我子民将来的事质问我吗？ 你们发号施令要告诉我如何做吗？

12 It is I who made the earth and created man upon it. It was My hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordained all their host.

12 是我造了大地，又造了地上的人； 我亲手铺展穹苍， 布置天上的万象。

13 I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild My city and set My exiles free, but not for payment or reward, says the LORD of Hosts.”

13 我凭公义使塞鲁士王兴起， 我要让他的道路畅通无阻。 他必重建我的城， 释放我被掳的子民， 不是为了得报酬或奖赏。 这是万军之耶和华说的。”

14 This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”

14 耶和华说： “埃及的出产和古实的货物必归你所有。 身材高大的西巴人必来归附你， 戴着锁链跟在你身后。 他们要向你下拜， 在你面前恳求， 并说，‘上帝真的与你们同在， 祂独一无二，除祂以外， 别无他神。’”

15 Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.

15 救主——以色列的上帝啊， 你真是一位隐藏自己的上帝。

16 They will all be put to shame and humiliated; the makers of idols will depart together in disgrace.

16 制造偶像的都必蒙羞受辱， 一同陷入耻辱。

17 But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.

17 但以色列必蒙耶和华拯救， 享受永远的救恩， 永远不会再蒙羞受辱。

18 For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens—He is God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.

18 创造诸天、塑造和建立大地给人居住、没有使地荒凉的耶和华上帝说： “我是独一无二的耶和华。

19 I have not spoken in secret, from a place in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a wasteland.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I say what is right.

19 我没有在隐秘处暗暗地说话， 我没有对雅各的后裔说， ‘你们徒然寻求我。’ 我耶和华宣扬真理， 传讲正义。

20 Come, gather together, and draw near, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry idols of wood and pray to a god that cannot save.

20 “列国的幸存者啊， 你们要聚集到这里来。 那些抬着木头神像、 向不能救人的神明祷告的人真无知！

21 Speak up and present your case—yes, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but Me, a righteous God and Savior; there is none but Me.

21 你们要陈明你们的理由， 你们要彼此商议。 谁早已预言过这一切？ 谁很久以前就说过这些预言？ 难道不是我耶和华吗？ 除我以外别无他神。 我是公义的上帝，我是救主， 除我以外别无他神。

22 Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

22 普世的人啊，归向我吧， 你们必蒙拯救， 因为我是独一无二的上帝。

23 By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.

23 我凭自己起誓， 我口中的话真实可靠，绝不更改， ‘万膝必向我跪拜， 万口必起誓效忠于我。’

24 Surely they will say of Me, ‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’” All who rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.

24 他们必说， ‘只有耶和华那里才有公义和能力。’” 向祂发怒的必在祂面前蒙羞。

25 In the LORD all descendants of Israel will be justified and will exult.

25 以色列的后裔必被耶和华称为义人，得到荣耀。
