以賽亞書 50
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
以色列的罪惡
50 耶和華說:
「我休你們母親的休書在哪裡呢?
我把你們賣給了我哪一個債主呢?
你們被賣是因為你們的罪惡,
你們母親被休是因為你們的過犯。
2 為什麼我來的時候一個人也不在?
為什麼我呼喚的時候沒有人回答?
是我的臂膀太短不能救贖你們嗎?
是我沒有能力拯救你們嗎?
看啊,我斥責一聲,海就乾了;
我使江河變為曠野,
魚類因無水而乾死,發出腥臭。
3 我使黑暗遮蔽穹蒼,
用麻布掩蓋天空。」
主僕的順服
4 主耶和華賜我教導的能力,
使我知道用什麼話幫助疲乏的人。
每天早晨,主喚醒我,
叫我像受教者那樣側耳聆聽。
5 主耶和華開了我的耳朵,
我沒有悖逆,也沒有退縮。
6 人打我的背,我任他打;
人拔我的鬍子,我任他拔;
人侮辱我,朝我吐唾沬,
我也不掩面。
7 我並不覺得羞愧,
因為主耶和華幫助我。
我心如堅石,
知道自己必不會蒙羞。
8 為我伸張正義的來了,
誰要控告我呢?
讓我們來理論吧!
誰是我的控告者呢?
讓他到我這裡來吧!
9 看啊,有主耶和華幫助我,
誰能定我有罪呢?
看啊,他們都要像衣服一樣漸漸破舊,
被蛀蟲吃掉。
信靠上帝
10 你們中間誰敬畏耶和華,
聽從祂僕人的話?
行在黑暗中、
沒有光的人要信靠耶和華的名,
仰賴自己的上帝。
11 然而,你們自己生火、自備火把的人啊,
靠自己點燃的火光行走吧!
你們必落入悲慘的境地,
這是耶和華親手所定的。
Isaiah 50
New International Version
Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience
50 This is what the Lord says:
“Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce(A)
with which I sent her away?
Or to which of my creditors
did I sell(B) you?
Because of your sins(C) you were sold;(D)
because of your transgressions your mother was sent away.
2 When I came, why was there no one?
When I called, why was there no one to answer?(E)
Was my arm too short(F) to deliver you?
Do I lack the strength(G) to rescue you?
By a mere rebuke(H) I dry up the sea,(I)
I turn rivers into a desert;(J)
their fish rot for lack of water
and die of thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with darkness(K)
and make sackcloth(L) its covering.”
4 The Sovereign Lord(M) has given me a well-instructed tongue,(N)
to know the word that sustains the weary.(O)
He wakens me morning by morning,(P)
wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.(Q)
5 The Sovereign Lord(R) has opened my ears;(S)
I have not been rebellious,(T)
I have not turned away.
6 I offered my back to those who beat(U) me,
my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;(V)
I did not hide my face
from mocking and spitting.(W)
7 Because the Sovereign Lord(X) helps(Y) me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,(Z)
and I know I will not be put to shame.(AA)
8 He who vindicates(AB) me is near.(AC)
Who then will bring charges against me?(AD)
Let us face each other!(AE)
Who is my accuser?
Let him confront me!
9 It is the Sovereign Lord(AF) who helps(AG) me.
Who will condemn(AH) me?
They will all wear out like a garment;
the moths(AI) will eat them up.
10 Who among you fears(AJ) the Lord
and obeys(AK) the word of his servant?(AL)
Let the one who walks in the dark,
who has no light,(AM)
trust(AN) in the name of the Lord
and rely on their God.
11 But now, all you who light fires
and provide yourselves with flaming torches,(AO)
go, walk in the light of your fires(AP)
and of the torches you have set ablaze.
This is what you shall receive from my hand:(AQ)
You will lie down in torment.(AR)
Isaiah 50
New King James Version
The Servant, Israel’s Hope
50 Thus says the Lord:
“Where is (A)the certificate of your mother’s divorce,
Whom I have put away?
Or which of My (B)creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
For your iniquities (C)you have sold yourselves,
And for your transgressions your mother has been put away.
2 Why, when I came, was there no man?
Why, when I called, was there none to answer?
Is My hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Indeed with My (D)rebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink because there is no water,
And die of thirst.
3 (E)I clothe the heavens with blackness,
(F)And I make sackcloth their covering.”
4 “The(G) Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is (H)weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
5 The Lord God (I)has opened My ear;
And I was not (J)rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.
6 (K)I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And (L)My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and (M)spitting.
7 “For the Lord God will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore (N)I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
8 (O)He is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is [a]My adversary?
Let him come near Me.
9 Surely the Lord God will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
(P)Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
(Q)The moth will eat them up.
10 “Who among you fears the Lord?
Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
Who (R)walks in darkness
And has no light?
(S)Let him trust in the name of the Lord
And rely upon his God.
11 Look, all you who kindle a fire,
Who encircle yourselves with sparks:
Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled—
(T)This you shall have from My hand:
You shall lie down (U)in torment.
