¹安慰锡安的话

¹Hearken unto Me, ye pursuing righteousness, Seeking Jehovah, Look attentively unto the rock — ye have been hewn, And unto the hole of the pit — ye have been digged.

²你们要瞻仰你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕，他们也要瞻仰那生你们的撒拉。亚伯拉罕独自一人的时候，我呼召了他，赐福给他，使他有很多子孙。

²Look attentively unto Abraham your father, And unto Sarah — she bringeth you forth, For — one — I have called him, And I bless him, and multiply him.

³耶和华必安慰锡安，他要安慰它的一切荒场，使它的旷野像伊甸园一样，使它的荒地像耶和华的园子一般，在其中必有欢喜快乐、感谢和歌声。

³For Jehovah hath comforted Zion, He hath comforted all her wastes, And He setteth her wilderness as Eden, And her desert as a garden of Jehovah, Joy, yea, gladness is found in her, Confession, and the voice of song.

⁴我的子民哪！你们要留心听我；我的民族啊！你们要侧耳听我。因为训诲必从我而去；我必坚立我的判词为万民之光。

⁴Attend unto Me, O My people, And, O My nation, unto Me give ear. For a law from Me goeth out, And My judgment to the light, Peoples I do cause to rest.

⁵我的公义临近，我的拯救已经发出了，我的膀臂审判万民，众海岛的人都要等候我，并且仰赖我的膀臂。

⁵Near [is] My righteousness, Gone out hath My salvation and Mine arms, Peoples they judge, on Me isles do wait, Yea, on Mine arm they do wait with hope.

⁶你们要仰观天空，俯视大地；因为诸天必像烟云消散，大地要像衣服渐渐破旧；其上的居民必像蠓虫死亡，但我的拯救却永远长存，我的公义也不会废去。

⁶Lift ye up to the heavens your eyes, And look attentively unto the earth beneath, For the heavens as smoke have vanished, And the earth as a garment weareth out, And its inhabitants as gnats do die, And My salvation is to the age, And My righteousness is not broken.

⁷认识公义，把我的训诲存在心里的人民哪！你们要听我的话。你们不要怕人的辱骂，也不要因人的毁谤而惊惶。

⁷Hearken unto Me, ye who know righteousness, A people, in whose heart [is] My law, Fear ye not the reproach of men, And for their reviling be not affrighted,

⁸因为蛀虫必吃他们，像吃衣服一样；虫子必吃他们，像吃羊绒一样。但我的公义永远长存。我的拯救直到万代。

⁸For as a garment eat them doth a moth, And as wool eat them doth a worm, And My righteousness is to the age, And My salvation to all generations.

⁹耶和华的膀臂啊，醒来吧！醒来吧！穿上能力吧！像古时的日子，像上古的世代一样醒来吧！从前砍碎了拉哈伯，刺透了海龙的，不是你吗？

⁹Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah, Awake, as [in] days of old, generations of the ages, Art not Thou it that is hewing down Rahab, Piercing a dragon!

¹⁰使海，就是大渊的水干涸，使海的深处变为蒙救赎的人经过之路的，不是你吗？

¹⁰Art not Thou it that is drying up a sea, Waters of a great deep? That hath made deep places of a sea A way for the passing of the redeemed?

¹¹耶和华所赎的人必归回；他们必欢呼着进入锡安；永远的快乐要临到他们的头上。他们必得着欢喜快乐，忧愁叹息都必逃避。

¹¹And the ransomed of Jehovah turn back, And they have come to Zion with singing, And joy age-during [is] on their head, Gladness and joy they attain, Fled away have sorrow and sighing,

¹²“我，我耶和华是安慰你们的；你是谁，竟怕那会死的人，怕那被造如草的世人呢？

¹²I — I [am] He — your comforter, Who [art] thou — and thou art afraid of man? he dieth! And of the son of man — grass he is made!

¹³你忘记了造你的耶和华，就是那展开诸天，奠定大地的根基的；又因那欺压者准备行毁灭的时候所发的烈怒，你就终日不住惧怕呢？其实那欺压者的烈怒在哪里呢？

¹³And thou dost forget Jehovah thy maker, Who is stretching out the heavens, and founding earth, And thou dost fear continually all the day, Because of the fury of the oppressor, As he hath prepared to destroy. And where [is] the fury of the oppressor?

¹⁴被掳的快得释放了，他们必不会死，必不会下到阴间里，他们的食物也必不会缺乏。

¹⁴Hastened hath a wanderer to be loosed, And he doth not die at the pit, And his bread is not lacking.

¹⁵我是耶和华你们的　神，就是那搅动大海，使海中的波浪澎湃的；万军之耶和华是他的名。

¹⁵And I [am] Jehovah thy God, Quieting the sea, when its billows roar, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.

¹⁶我把我的话放在你的口里，用我的手影蔽护你，好立定诸天，奠定大地的根基，对锡安说：‘你是我的子民。’”

¹⁶And I put My words in thy mouth, And with the shadow of My hand have covered thee, To plant the heavens, and to found earth, And to say to Zion, `My people [art] thou.`

¹⁷耶路撒冷啊，醒来！醒来！站起来吧！你从耶和华的手中喝了他烈怒的杯，喝尽了那使人摇摇摆摆的爵。

¹⁷Stir thyself, stir thyself, rise, Jerusalem, Who hast drunk from the hand of Jehovah The cup of His fury, The goblet, the cup of trembling, thou hast drunk, Thou hast wrung out.

¹⁸她所生的众子中，没有一个引导她的；她养大的众子中，没有一个扶持她的。

¹⁸There is not a leader to her Out of all the sons she hath borne, And there is none laying hold on her hand Out of all the sons she hath nourished.

¹⁹荒凉与毁灭，饥荒与刀剑，这两样临到你，谁为你悲哀呢？谁能安慰你呢？

¹⁹These two are meeting thee, who is moved for thee? Spoiling and destruction — Famine and sword, who — I comfort thee?

²⁰你的众子昏倒了，在各街头上躺卧，好像羚羊在网罗之中；他们饱尝了耶和华的烈怒，你的　神的斥责。

²⁰Thy sons have been wrapt up, they have lain down, At the head of all out places, as a wild ox [in] a net, They are full of the fury of Jehovah, The rebuke of Thy God.

²¹所以，你这困苦的，不是因酒而醉倒的，要听这话。

²¹Therefore, hear, I pray thee, this, O afflicted and drunken one, and not with wine,

²²你的主耶和华，就是为自己的子民争辩的　神，这样说：“看哪！我已经把那使人摇摇摆摆的杯，就是我烈怒的爵，从你的手里挪去了；你必不再喝这杯。

²²Thus said thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God, He pleadeth [for] his people: `Lo, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of trembling, The goblet, the cup of My fury, Thou dost not add to drink it any more.

²³我必把这杯放在那些苦待你的人的手里；他们曾对你说：‘你屈身俯伏，让我们走过去吧！’你就以你的背作陆地，作街道，任由他们踏过去。”

²³And I have put it into the hand of those afflicting thee, Who have said to thy soul, Bow down, and we pass over, And thou makest as the earth thy body, And as the street to those passing by!`
