以赛亚书 48
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
责以色列刚愎顽梗
48 “雅各家,称为以色列名下、从犹大水源出来的,当听我言!你们指着耶和华的名起誓,提说以色列的神,却不凭诚实,不凭公义。 2 (他们自称为圣城的人,所倚靠的是名为万军之耶和华以色列的神。)” 3 主说:“早先的事我从古时说明,已经出了我的口,也是我所指示的,我忽然行做,事便成就。 4 因为我素来知道你是顽梗的,你的颈项是铁的,你的额是铜的, 5 所以我从古时将这事给你说明,在未成以先指示你,免得你说:‘这些事是我的偶像所行的,是我雕刻的偶像和我铸造的偶像所命定的。’ 6 你已经听见,现在要看见这一切,你不说明吗?从今以后,我将新事,就是你所不知道的隐密事,指示你。 7 这事是现今造的,并非从古就有,在今日以先你也未曾听见,免得你说:‘这事我早已知道了。’ 8 你未曾听见,未曾知道,你的耳朵从来未曾开通。我原知道你行事极其诡诈,你自从出胎以来便称为悖逆的。
耶和华因己名不行剪灭
9 “我为我的名暂且忍怒,为我的颂赞向你容忍,不将你剪除。 10 我熬炼你,却不像熬炼银子;你在苦难的炉中,我拣选你。 11 我为自己的缘故必行这事,我焉能使我的名被亵渎?我必不将我的荣耀归给假神。
劝民听从
12 “雅各,我所选召的以色列啊,当听我言!我是耶和华,我是首先的,也是末后的。 13 我手立了地的根基,我右手铺张诸天,我一招呼便都立住。 14 你们都当聚集而听,他们[a]内中谁说过这些事?耶和华所爱的人必向巴比伦行他所喜悦的事,他的膀臂也要加在迦勒底人身上。 15 唯有我曾说过,我又选召他,领他来,他的道路就必亨通。 16 你们要就近我来听这话,我从起头并未曾在隐密处说话,自从有这事,我就在那里。”现在,主耶和华差遣我和他的灵来[b]。
17 耶和华你的救赎主,以色列的圣者如此说:“我是耶和华你的神,教训你使你得益处,引导你所当行的路。 18 甚愿你素来听从我的命令,你的平安就如河水,你的公义就如海浪。 19 你的后裔也必多如海沙,你腹中所生的也必多如沙粒,他的名在我面前必不剪除,也不灭绝。”
20 你们要从巴比伦出来,从迦勒底人中逃脱,以欢呼的声音传扬说:“耶和华救赎了他的仆人雅各!”你们要将这事宣扬到地极。 21 耶和华引导他们经过沙漠,他们并不干渴;他为他们使水从磐石而流,分裂磐石水就涌出。 22 耶和华说:“恶人必不得平安。”

Isaiah 48
King James Version
48 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The Lord of hosts is his name.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The Lord hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22 There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
Isaiah 48
New International Version
Stubborn Israel
48 “Listen to this, you descendants of Jacob,
you who are called by the name of Israel(A)
and come from the line of Judah,(B)
you who take oaths(C) in the name of the Lord(D)
and invoke(E) the God of Israel—
but not in truth(F) or righteousness—
2 you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city(G)
and claim to rely(H) on the God of Israel—
the Lord Almighty is his name:(I)
3 I foretold the former things(J) long ago,
my mouth announced(K) them and I made them known;
then suddenly(L) I acted, and they came to pass.
4 For I knew how stubborn(M) you were;
your neck muscles(N) were iron,
your forehead(O) was bronze.
5 Therefore I told you these things long ago;
before they happened I announced(P) them to you
so that you could not say,
‘My images brought them about;(Q)
my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
“From now on I will tell you of new things,(R)
of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created(S) now, and not long ago;(T)
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
‘Yes, I knew(U) of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood;(V)
from of old your ears(W) have not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous(X) you are;
you were called a rebel(Y) from birth.
9 For my own name’s sake(Z) I delay my wrath;(AA)
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to destroy you completely.(AB)
10 See, I have refined(AC) you, though not as silver;
I have tested(AD) you in the furnace(AE) of affliction.
11 For my own sake,(AF) for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?(AG)
I will not yield my glory to another.(AH)
Israel Freed
12 “Listen(AI) to me, Jacob,
Israel, whom I have called:(AJ)
I am he;(AK)
I am the first and I am the last.(AL)
13 My own hand laid the foundations of the earth,(AM)
and my right hand spread out the heavens;(AN)
when I summon them,
they all stand up together.(AO)
14 “Come together,(AP) all of you, and listen:
Which of the idols has foretold(AQ) these things?
The Lord’s chosen ally(AR)
will carry out his purpose(AS) against Babylon;(AT)
his arm will be against the Babylonians.[a]
15 I, even I, have spoken;
yes, I have called(AU) him.
I will bring him,
and he will succeed(AV) in his mission.
16 “Come near(AW) me and listen(AX) to this:
“From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret;(AY)
at the time it happens, I am there.”
17 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer,(BC) the Holy One(BD) of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches(BE) you what is best for you,
who directs(BF) you in the way(BG) you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention(BH) to my commands,
your peace(BI) would have been like a river,(BJ)
your well-being(BK) like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants(BL) would have been like the sand,(BM)
your children like its numberless grains;(BN)
their name would never be blotted out(BO)
nor destroyed from before me.”
20 Leave Babylon,
flee(BP) from the Babylonians!
Announce this with shouts of joy(BQ)
and proclaim it.
Send it out to the ends of the earth;(BR)
say, “The Lord has redeemed(BS) his servant Jacob.”
21 They did not thirst(BT) when he led them through the deserts;
he made water flow(BU) for them from the rock;
he split the rock
and water gushed out.(BV)
