以賽亞書 46
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
巴比倫的假神
46 彼勒屈膝跪下,
尼波彎腰降服。
這些巴比倫的偶像成為野獸和牲畜背上的重負,
使其疲憊不堪。
2 它們一同屈膝降服,
不但救不了被擄的巴比倫人,
自己也被擄去。
3 耶和華說:「雅各家啊,以色列家的餘民啊,要聽我說。
你們一出生,我就照顧你們;
一出母胎,我就呵護你們。
4 即使你們年老髮白的時候,
我仍然一如既往地扶持你們。
我造了你們,必照顧你們,
扶持你們,拯救你們。
5 「你們拿誰與我相比,
使之與我同等呢?
你們把誰比作我,
使之與我相同呢?
6 有些人從囊中取金子,
又用天平稱銀子,
雇銀匠製造神像,
然後向它俯伏叩拜。
7 他們把神像抬起來扛在肩上,
找個地方把它安置好,
它就在那裡呆立不動。
人向它呼求,它不能回應,
也不能救人脫離困境。
8 「你們這些悖逆的人啊,
要將這些事銘記在心。
9 你們要記住古時發生的事,
因為我是獨一無二的上帝,
再沒有誰能與我相比。
10 我從太初就預言末後的事,
從亙古就宣佈將來的事。
我的旨意必成就,
我的計劃必實現。
11 我從東方召來鷙鳥,
從遙遠的地方召人來成就我的計劃。
我言出必行,
必成就自己的計劃。
12 你們這些冥頑不靈、
遠離公義的人啊,聽我說。
13 我要親自施行公義,
那一天已經不遠,
我的救恩很快就會來臨。
我要在錫安賜下救恩,
把我的榮耀賜給以色列。
Isaiah 46
New International Version
Gods of Babylon
46 Bel(A) bows down, Nebo stoops low;
their idols(B) are borne by beasts of burden.[a]
The images that are carried(C) about are burdensome,
a burden for the weary.
2 They stoop and bow down together;
unable to rescue the burden,
they themselves go off into captivity.(D)
3 “Listen(E) to me, you descendants of Jacob,
all the remnant(F) of the people of Israel,
you whom I have upheld since your birth,(G)
and have carried(H) since you were born.(I)
4 Even to your old age and gray hairs(J)
I am he,(K) I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain(L) you and I will rescue you.
5 “With whom will you compare me or count me equal?
To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?(M)
6 Some pour out gold from their bags
and weigh out silver on the scales;
they hire a goldsmith(N) to make it into a god,
and they bow down and worship it.(O)
7 They lift it to their shoulders and carry(P) it;
they set it up in its place, and there it stands.
From that spot it cannot move.(Q)
Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer;(R)
it cannot save(S) them from their troubles.
8 “Remember(T) this, keep it in mind,
take it to heart, you rebels.(U)
9 Remember the former things,(V) those of long ago;(W)
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.(X)
10 I make known the end from the beginning,(Y)
from ancient times,(Z) what is still to come.(AA)
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,(AB)
and I will do all that I please.’
11 From the east I summon(AC) a bird of prey;(AD)
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that I will bring about;
what I have planned,(AE) that I will do.(AF)
12 Listen(AG) to me, you stubborn-hearted,(AH)
you who are now far from my righteousness.(AI)
13 I am bringing my righteousness(AJ) near,
it is not far away;
and my salvation(AK) will not be delayed.
I will grant salvation to Zion,(AL)
my splendor(AM) to Israel.

Isaiah 46
New King James Version
Dead Idols and the Living God
46 Bel (A)bows down, Nebo stoops;
Their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle.
Your carriages were heavily loaded,
(B)A burden to the weary beast.
2 They stoop, they bow down together;
They could not deliver the burden,
(C)But have themselves gone into captivity.
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
(D)Who have been upheld by Me from [a]birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
4 Even to your old age, (E)I am He,
And even to gray hairs (F)I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 “To(G) whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal
And compare Me, that we should be alike?
6 (H)They lavish gold out of the bag,
And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a (I)goldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
7 (J)They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move.
Though (K)one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.
8 “Remember this, and [b]show yourselves men;
(L)Recall to mind, O you transgressors.
9 (M)Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and (N)there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
10 (O)Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, (P)‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11 Calling a bird of prey (Q)from the east,
The man (R)who executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed (S)I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.
12 “Listen to Me, you (T)stubborn-hearted,
(U)Who are far from righteousness:
13 (V)I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off;
My salvation (W)shall not [c]linger.
And I will place (X)salvation in Zion,
For Israel My glory.
