Isaiah 46

1 Bel crouches; Nebo cowers. Their idols weigh down beasts and cattle. The images you carry are burdensome, a load to the weary animal.

1 彼勒屈膝跪下， 尼波弯腰降服。 这些巴比伦的偶像驮在野兽和牲畜背上，成了重负， 使其疲惫不堪。

2 The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.

2 它们一同屈膝降服， 不但救不了被掳的巴比伦人， 自己也被掳去。

3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.

3 耶和华说：“雅各家啊，以色列家的余民啊，都要听我说。 你们一出生，我就照顾你们； 一出母胎，我就呵护你们。

4 Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.

4 即使你们年老发白的时候， 我仍然一如既往地扶持你们。 我造了你们，必照顾你们， 呵护你们，拯救你们。

5 To whom will you liken Me or count Me equal? To whom will you compare Me, that we should be alike?

5 “你们拿谁与我相比， 使之与我同等呢？ 你们把谁比作我， 使之与我相同呢？

6 They pour out their bags of gold and weigh out silver on scales; they hire a goldsmith to fashion it into a god, so they can bow down and worship.

6 有些人从囊中倒出金子， 又用天平称银子， 雇金匠制造神像， 然后向它俯伏叩拜。

7 They lift it to their shoulder and carry it along; they set it in its place, and there it stands, not budging from that spot. They cry out to it, but it does not answer; it saves no one from his troubles.

7 他们把神像抬起来扛在肩上， 找个地方安置好， 它就在那里呆立不动。 人向它呼求，它不能回应， 也不能救人脱离困境。

8 Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!

8 “你们这些悖逆的人啊， 要将这事铭记在心，仔细思想。

9 Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.

9 你们要记住古时发生的事， 因为我是独一无二的上帝， 我是上帝，没有谁能与我相比。

10 I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’

10 我从太初就预言末后的事， 从亘古就宣布将来的事。 我的旨意必成就， 我想做的必实现。

11 I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it.

11 我从东方召来鸷鸟， 从遥远的地方召人来成就我的计划。 我言出必行， 我所谋必成。

12 Listen to Me, you stubborn people, far removed from righteousness:

12 你们这些冥顽不灵、 远离公义的人啊，听我说。

13 I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion and adorn Israel with My splendor.

13 我要亲自施行公义， 那一天已经不远， 我的救恩很快就会来临。 我要在锡安赐下救恩， 把我的荣美赐给以色列。
