1 神的安慰
1Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God.
2你们要向耶路撒冷说慈爱的话，又要向它宣告：他们的苦难已经满足了，他们的罪孽已经还清了，他们因着自己的一切罪，已经从耶和华的手里受到过重的刑罚。”
2Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her warfare hath been completed, That accepted hath been her punishment, That she hath received from the hand of Jehovah Double for all her sins.
3预言在旷野有预备主道的有声音呼喊说：“你们要在旷野清理耶和华的路，在沙漠修直我们 神的大道。
3A voice is crying — in a wilderness — Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, Make straight in a desert a highway to our God.
4一切深谷都要填满，一切山冈都要削平；险峻的要改为平地，崎岖的要改为平原。
4Every valley is raised up, And every mountain and hill become low, And the crooked place hath become a plain, And the entangled places a valley.
5耶和华的荣耀必要显现，所有的人都必一同看见，因为这是耶和华亲口说的。”
5And revealed hath been the honour of Jehovah, And seen [it] have all flesh together, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
6有声音说：“你呼喊吧！”他问：“我呼喊什么呢？”“所有的人尽都如草；他们的荣美都像野地的花。
6A voice is saying, `Call,` And he said, `What do I call?` All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodliness [is] As a flower of the field:
7草必枯干，花必凋谢；因为耶和华的气吹在上面；真的，这民的确是草！
7Withered hath grass, faded the flower, For the Spirit of Jehovah blew upon it, Surely the people [is] grass;
8草必枯干，花必凋谢，唯有我们 神的道永远长存。”
8Withered hath grass, faded the flower, But a word of our God riseth for ever.
9 神乃善牧报好信息给锡安的啊！你要登上高山。报好信息给耶路撒冷的啊！你要极力扬声。要扬声，不要惧怕！要对犹大的众城说：“看哪，你们的 神！”
9On a high mountain get thee up, O Zion, Proclaiming tidings, Lift up with power thy voice, O Jerusalem, proclaiming tidings, Lift up, fear not, say to cities of Judah, `Lo, your God.`
10看哪！主耶和华必像大能者临到，他的膀臂要为他掌权；看哪！他给予人的赏赐在他那里，他施予人的报应在他面前。
10Lo, the Lord Jehovah with strength cometh, And His arm is ruling for Him, Lo, His hire [is] with Him, and His wage before Him.
11他必像牧人牧养自己的羊群，像用膀臂聚集羊羔，抱在自己的怀中，慢慢引导乳养小羊的。
11As a shepherd His flock He feedeth, With His arm He gathereth lambs, And in His bosom He carrieth [them]: Suckling ones He leadeth.
12 神伟大无比谁曾用掌心量过海水，用手掌测过苍天呢？谁曾用升斗量过大地的尘土，用秤称山岭，用天平称冈陵呢？
12Who hath measured in the hollow of his hand the waters? And the heavens by a span hath meted out, And comprehended in a measure the dust of the earth, And hath weighed in scales the mountains, And the hills in a balance?
13谁曾测度耶和华的灵，或作过他的谋士教导他呢？
13Who hath meted out the Spirit of Jehovah, And, [being] His counsellor, doth teach Him!
14他与谁商议，谁使他有聪明？谁把正确的路指教他，把知识指教他，又把明智的路教导他呢？
14With whom consulted He, That he causeth Him to understand? And teacheth Him in the path of judgment, And teacheth Him knowledge? And the way of understanding causeth Him to know?
15看哪！万国都像水桶里的一滴，又被看作天平上的微尘。看哪！他举起众海岛，好像微细之物。
15Lo, nations as a drop from a bucket, And as small dust of the balance, have been reckoned, Lo, isles as a small thing He taketh up.
16黎巴嫩的树林不够当柴烧，其中的走兽也不够作燔祭。
16And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt-offering.
17万国在他跟前好像不存在，在他看来，只是乌有和虚空。
17All the nations [are] as nothing before Him, Less than nothing and emptiness, They have been reckoned to Him.
18你们把谁来跟 神相比呢？你们用什么形象来与 神并列呢？
18And unto whom do ye liken God, And what likeness do ye compare to Him?
19至于偶像，是匠人铸造的，铸匠用金子把它包裹，用银子为它做银链。
19The graven image poured out hath a artizan, And a refiner with gold spreadeth it over, And chains of silver he is refining.
20贫穷献不起这供物的，就拣选不朽坏的树木，为自己寻找巧匠，立起不会动摇的偶像。
20He who is poor [by] heave-offerings, A tree not rotten doth choose, A skilful artizan he seeketh for it, To establish a graven image — not moved.
21你们不曾知道吗？你们不曾听见吗？不是从起初就已经告诉过你们吗？自从大地的根基立了以来，你们还不曾明白吗？
21Do ye not know — do ye not hear? Hath it not been declared from the first to you? Have ye not understood [From] the foundations of the earth?
22 神坐在大地的圆穹之上，地上的居民好像蚱蜢，他铺张诸天如铺张幔子，展开众天像展开可以居住的帐棚。
22He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out as a thin thing the heavens, And spreadeth them as a tent to dwell in.
23他使诸侯都归于无有，使地上的审判官成为虚空。
23He who is making princes become nothing, Judges of earth as emptiness hath made;
24他们才刚刚栽上，刚刚种上，他们的树头刚刚在地里扎根，他一吹在其上，他们就枯干了，旋风把他们像碎秸一样吹去。
24Yea, they have not been planted, Yea, they have not been sown, Yea, not taking root in the earth is their stock, And also He hath blown upon them, and they wither, And a whirlwind as stubble taketh them away.
25那圣者说：“你们把谁来跟我相比，使他与我相等呢？”
25And unto whom do ye liken Me, And [am] I equal? saith the Holy One.
26你们向天举目吧！看是谁创造了这些万象？是谁按着数目把万象领出来，一一指名呼唤？因他的大能大力，连一个也不缺少。
26Lift up on high your eyes, And see — who hath prepared these? He who is bringing out by number their host, To all of them by name He calleth, By abundance of strength (And [he is] strong in power) not one is lacking.
27勉励人民信靠 神雅各啊！你为什么这样说；以色列啊！你为什么埋怨说：“我的道路向耶和华隐藏，我的案件被我的 神忽略了”？
27Why sayest thou, O Jacob? and speakest thou, O Israel? `My way hath been hid from Jehovah, And from my God my judgment passeth over.`
28你不知道吗？你没有听过吗？永在的 神、耶和华、地极的创造主既不疲乏，也不困倦；他的知识无法测度。
28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The God of the age — Jehovah, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His understanding.
29疲乏的，他赐气力，无力的，他加力量。
29He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong He increaseth might.
30就是年轻人也会疲乏困倦，强壮的人也会全然跌倒。
30Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,
31但那些仰望耶和华的人，必重新得力；他们必像鹰一样展翅上腾；他们奔跑，也不困倦，他们行走，也不疲乏。
31But those expecting Jehovah pass [to] power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!
