1安慰錫安的話追求公義、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。
1“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look to the rock you were cut from, and to the hold of the pit you were dug from.
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。
2Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
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。
3For Yahweh has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
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。
4“Attend to me, my people; and give ear to me, my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
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。
5My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the islands shall wait for me, and on my arm shall they trust.
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，但我的拯救卻永遠長存，我的公義也不會廢去。
6Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and those who dwell therein shall die in the same way: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
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。
7“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; don’t fear the reproach of men, neither be dismayed at their insults.
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。
8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
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？
9Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
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？
10Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
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。
11The ransomed of Yahweh shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
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？
12“I, even I, am he who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass;
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？
13and have forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
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。
14The captive exile shall speedily be freed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
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。
15For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar: Yahweh of Armies is his name.
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。’”
16I have put my words in your mouth, and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
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。
17Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of Yahweh the cup of his wrath; you have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
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。
18There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons who she has brought up.
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？
19These two things have happened to you. Who will bemoan you? Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort you?
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。
20Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Yahweh, the rebuke of your God.
21所以，你這困苦的，不是因酒而醉倒的，要聽這話。
21Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
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。
22Thus says your Lord Yahweh, and your God who pleads the cause of his people, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; you shall no more drink it again:
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。”
23and I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, and as the street, to those who walk over.”
