第五〇章

¹Thus says the LORD, 'Where is the certificate of divorce By which I have sent your mother away? Or to whom of My creditors did I sell you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, And for your transgressions your mother was sent away.

¹耶和華如此說：我休你們的母親，休書在哪裡呢？我將你們賣給我哪一個債主呢？你們被賣，是因你們的罪孽；你們的母親被休，是因你們的過犯。

²'Why was there no man when I came? When I called, [why] was there none to answer? Is My hand so short that it cannot ransom? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, I dry up the sea with My rebuke, I make the rivers a wilderness; Their fish stink for lack of water And die of thirst.

²我來的時候，為何無人等候呢？我呼喚的時候，為何無人答應呢？我的膀臂豈是縮短、不能救贖嗎？我豈無拯救之力麼？看哪，我一斥責，海就乾了；我使江河變為曠野；其中的魚因無水腥臭，乾渴而死。

³'I clothe the heavens with blackness And make sackcloth their covering.'

³我使諸天以黑暗為衣服，以麻布為遮蓋。

⁴The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of disciples, That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens [Me] morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

⁴主耶和華賜我受教者的舌頭，使我知道怎樣用言語扶助疲乏的人。主每早晨提醒，提醒我的耳朵，使我能聽，像受教者一樣。

⁵The Lord GOD has opened My ear; And I was not disobedient Nor did I turn back.

⁵主耶和華開通我的耳朵；我並沒有違背，也沒有退後。

⁶I gave My back to those who strike [Me], And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard; I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting.

⁶人打我的背，我任他打；人拔我腮頰的鬍鬚，我由他拔；人辱我，吐我，我並不掩面。

⁷For the Lord GOD helps Me, Therefore, I am not disgraced; Therefore, I have set My face like flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.

⁷主耶和華必幫助我，所以我不抱愧。我硬著臉面好像堅石；我也知道我必不致蒙羞。

⁸He who vindicates Me is near; Who will contend with Me? Let us stand up to each other; Who has a case against Me? Let him draw near to Me.

⁸稱我為義的與我相近；誰與我爭論，可以與我一同站立；誰與我作對，可以就近我來。

⁹Behold, the Lord GOD helps Me; Who is he who condemns Me? Behold, they will all wear out like a garment; The moth will eat them.

⁹主耶和華要幫助我；誰能定我有罪呢？他們都像衣服漸漸舊了，為蛀蟲所咬。

¹⁰Who is among you that fears the LORD, That obeys the voice of His servant, That walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.

¹⁰你們中間誰是敬畏耶和華、聽從他僕人之話的？這人行在暗中，沒有亮光。當倚靠耶和華的名，仗賴自己的神。

¹¹Behold, all you who kindle a fire, Who encircle yourselves with firebrands, Walk in the light of your fire And among the brands you have set ablaze. This you will have from My hand: You will lie down in torment.

¹¹凡你們點火，用火把圍繞自己的可以行在你們的火燄裡，並你們所點的火把中。這是我手所定的；你們必躺在悲慘之中，
