# 赛-Isa 44 ## 赛44:1 我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的以色列啊！现在你当听。 Isa 44:1 “But now hear, O Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen!” ## 赛44:2 造作你，又从你出胎造就你，并要帮助你的耶和华如此说：“我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的耶书仑哪！不要害怕！ Isa 44:2 “Thus says the LORD who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen.” ## 赛44:3 因为我要将水浇灌口渴的人，将河浇灌干旱之地；我要将我的灵浇灌你的后裔，将我的福浇灌你的子孙。 Isa 44:3 “For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.” ## 赛44:4 他们要发生在草中，象溪水旁的柳树。 Isa 44:4 They shall spring up among the grass like willows by flowing streams. ## 赛44:5 “这个要说，我是属耶和华的；那个要以雅各的名自称；又一个要亲手写归耶和华的(或作“在手上写归耶和华”)，并自称为以色列。” Isa 44:5 “This one will say, ‘I am the LORD’s,’ another will call on the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’ and name himself by the name of Israel.” ## 赛44:6 耶和华以色列的君，以色列的救赎主万军之耶和华如此说：“我是首先的，我是末后的，除我以外再没有真神。 Isa 44:6 “Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.” ## 赛44:7 自从我设立古时的民，谁能象我宣告，并且指明，又为自己陈说呢？让他将未来的事和必成的事说明。 Isa 44:7 “Who is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and set it before me, since I appointed an ancient people. Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen.” ## 赛44:8 你们不要恐惧，也不要害怕。我岂不是从上古就说明指示你们吗？并且你们是我的见证，除我以外，岂有真神吗？诚然没有磐石；我不知道一个。” Isa 44:8 “Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.” ## 赛44:9 制造雕刻偶像的，尽都虚空；他们所喜悦的，都无益处；他们的见证，无所看见，无所知晓，他们便觉羞愧。 Isa 44:9 “All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame.” ## 赛44:10 谁制造神像，铸造无益的偶像？ Isa 44:10 Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing? ## 赛44:11 看哪，他的同伴都必羞愧。工匠也不过是人，任他们聚会，任他们站立，都必惧怕，一同羞愧。 Isa 44:11 “Behold, all his companions shall be put to shame, and the craftsmen are only human. Let them all assemble, let them stand forth. They shall be terrified; they shall be put to shame together.” ## 赛44:12 铁匠把铁在火炭中烧热，用锤打铁器，用他有力的膀臂锤成；他饥饿而无力，不喝水而发倦。 Isa 44:12 “The ironsmith takes a cutting tool and works it over the coals. He fashions it with hammers and works it with his strong arm. He becomes hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water and is faint.” ## 赛44:13 木匠拉线，用笔划出样子，用刨子刨成形状，用圆尺划了模样，仿照人的体态，作成人形，好住在房屋中。 Isa 44:13 “The carpenter stretches a line; he marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes and marks it with a compass. He shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house.” ## 赛44:14 他砍伐香柏树，又取柞(或作“青桐”)树和橡树，在树林中选定了一棵。他栽种松树得雨长养。 Isa 44:14 “He cuts down cedars, or he chooses a cypress tree or an oak and lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a cedar and the rain nourishes it.” ## 赛44:15 这树，人可用以烧火，他自己取些烤火，又烧着烤饼，而且作神像跪拜，作雕刻的偶像向它叩拜。 Isa 44:15 Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it. ## 赛44:16 他把一分烧在火中，把一分烤肉吃饱。自己烤火说：“啊哈，我暖和了，我见火了。” Isa 44:16 “Half of it he burns in the fire. Over the half he eats meat; he roasts it and is satisfied. Also he warms himself and says, “Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire!” ## 赛44:17 他用剩下的作了一神，就是雕刻的偶像。他向这偶像俯伏叩拜，祷告它说：“求你拯救我，因你是我的神。” Isa 44:17 “And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. He prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!” ## 赛44:18 他们不知道，也不思想，因为耶和华闭住他们的眼不能看见，塞住他们的心不能明白。 Isa 44:18 “They know not, nor do they discern, for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their hearts, so that they cannot understand.” ## 赛44:19 谁心里也不醒悟，也没有知识，没有聪明，能说：“我曾拿一分在火中烧了，在炭火上烤过饼，我也烤过肉吃。这剩下的，我岂要作可憎的物吗？我岂可向木墩子叩拜呢？” Isa 44:19 “No one considers, nor is there knowledge or discernment to say, “Half of it I burned in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and have eaten. And shall I make the rest of it an abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” ## 赛44:20 他以灰为食，心中昏迷，使他偏邪，他不能自救。也不能说：“我右手中岂不是有虚谎吗？” Isa 44:20 “He feeds on ashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not a lie in my right hand?” ## 赛44:21 雅各，以色列啊！你是我的仆人，要记念这些事。以色列啊！你是我的仆人，我造就你必不忘记你。 Isa 44:21 “Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant; I formed you; you are my servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.” ## 赛44:22 我涂抹了你的过犯，象厚云消散；我涂抹了你的罪恶，如薄云灭没。你当归向我，因我救赎了你。 Isa 44:22 “I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.” ## 赛44:23 诸天哪！应当歌唱！因为耶和华作成这事；地的深处啊！应当欢呼！众山应当发声歌唱，树林和其中所有的树，都当如此；因为耶和华救赎了雅各，并要因以色列荣耀自己。 Isa 44:23 “Sing, O heavens, for the LORD has done it; shout, O depths of the earth; break forth into singing, O mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and will be glorified in Israel.” ## 赛44:24 从你出胎，造就你的救赎主耶和华如此说：“我耶和华是创造万物的，是独自铺张诸天，铺开大地的。(谁与我同在呢？) Isa 44:24 “Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: “I am the LORD, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself,” ## 赛44:25 使说假话的兆头失效，使占卜的癫狂，使智慧人退后，使他的知识变为愚拙； Isa 44:25 “who frustrates the signs of liars and makes fools of diviners, who turns wise men back and makes their knowledge foolish,” ## 赛44:26 使我仆人的话语立定，我使者的谋算成就。论到耶路撒冷说，必有人居住。论到犹大的城邑说，必被建造。其中的荒场我也必兴起。 Isa 44:26 “who confirms the word of his servant and fulfills the counsel of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited,’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built, and I will raise up their ruins’;” ## 赛44:27 对深渊说，你干了吧！我也要使你的江河干涸。 Isa 44:27 “who says to the deep, ‘Be dry; I will dry up your rivers’;” ## 赛44:28 论古列说：“他是我的牧人，必成就我所喜悦的，必下令建造耶路撒冷，发命立稳圣殿的根基。” Isa 44:28 “who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, and he shall fulfill all my purpose’; saying of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be built,’ and of the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.’”
