1 看哪! 这是我的仆人, 我扶持他; 我所拣选的, 我的心喜悦他; 我已经把我的灵赐给他, 他必把公理带给万国。 2 他不呼喊, 也不扬声, 也不叫人在街上听见他的声音。 3 压伤的芦苇, 他不折断; 将熄灭的灯火, 他不吹灭; 他忠实地传出公理。 4 他不灰心, 也不沮丧, 直到他在地上设立公理, 众海岛的人都等候他的教训。 5 那创造诸天, 展开穹苍, 铺张大地和大地所出的一切, 赐气息给地上的众人, 又赐灵性给在地上行的人的耶和华 神这样说: 6 "我耶和华凭着公义呼召了你; 我必紧拉着你的手, 我必保护你, 立你作人民的约, 作列国的光, 7 为要开瞎子的眼, 领被囚的出牢狱, 领住在黑暗中的出监牢。 8 我是耶和华, 这是我的名; 我必不把我的荣耀归给别人, 也不把我当受的称赞归给雕刻的偶像。 9 看哪! 先前预言过的事已经成就了, 现在我说明新的事; 它们还没有发生以前, 我就先说给你们听了。" 10 所有航海的和海中所充满的, 众海岛和其上的居民哪! 你们都要向耶和华唱新歌, 从地极向他发出赞美。 11 愿旷野和其中的城镇都扬声; 愿基达人居住的村庄都高呼; 愿西拉的居民都欢呼, 在山顶上吶喊。 12 愿他们把荣耀归给耶和华, 在众海岛中宣扬对他的颂赞。 13 耶和华必像勇士出战, 必像战士激动热心; 他要呼喊, 大声吶喊, 要向仇敌显出自己的威猛。 14 我已经很久缄默不言, 闭口不语, 但现在我要像待产的妇人一样呼喊, 我要急速地喘气。 15 我必使大山小山都变为荒场, 使一切草木都枯干; 我要使江河变为干地, 使水池干涸。 16 我必领瞎子走陌生的道, 带他们走他们不知道的路。我必在他们面前使黑暗变为光明, 使弯曲的地方变为平直。这些事我都要作, 决不放弃。 17 那些倚靠偶像, 对铸像说: "你们是我们的神"的, 必被赶逐, 全然蒙羞。 18 聋子啊! 你们要听。瞎子啊! 你们要留心去看。 19 有谁比我的仆人更瞎呢?有谁比我差派的使者更聋呢?有谁瞎眼像那与我立了和约的呢?有谁瞎眼像耶和华的仆人呢? 20 你们看见了许多的事, 却没有留心, 耳朵开着, 却没有听见。 21 耶和华为自己公义的缘故, 喜欢使律法为大为尊。 22 但这人民是被抢劫和被掠夺的, 全都困陷在洞穴中, 被收藏在监牢里; 他们作了掠物, 无人搭救; 他们成了掳物, 无人说: "要归还! " 23 你们中间谁肯听这话呢?谁肯从今以后留心听呢? 24 谁把雅各交出来给掠夺者?谁把以色列交给抢劫的呢?岂不是耶和华, 就是我们得罪的那位吗?因为他们不肯遵行他的道, 也不肯听从他的律法。 25 因此, 他把他猛烈的怒气和惨酷的战争, 倾倒在他身上; 这在他四周如火烧起来, 他还不知道; 把他烧着了, 他也不放在心上。
1 Lo, My servant, I take hold on him, My chosen one -- My soul hath accepted, I have put My Spirit upon him, Judgment to nations he bringeth forth.2 He doth not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause his voice to be heard, in the street.3 A bruised reed he breaketh not, And dim flax he quencheth not, To truth he bringeth forth judgment.4 He doth not become weak nor bruised, Till he setteth judgment in the earth, And for his law isles wait with hope.5 Thus said God, Jehovah, preparing The heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.6 I, Jehovah, did call thee in righteousness, And I lay hold on thy hand, and keep thee, And I give thee for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.7 To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth from prison the bound one, From the house of restraint those sitting in darkness.8 I [am] Jehovah, this [is] My name, And Mine honour to another I give not, Nor My praise to graven images.9 The former things, lo, have come, And new things I am declaring, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.10 Sing to Jehovah a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, Ye who are going down to the sea, and its fulness, Isles, and their inhabitants.11 The wilderness and its cities do lift up [the voice], The villages Kedar doth inhabit, Sing do the inhabitants of Sela, From the top of mountains they cry.12 They ascribe to Jehovah honour, And His praise in the isles they declare.13 Jehovah as a mighty one goeth forth. As a man of war He stirreth up zeal, He crieth, yea, He shrieketh, Against His enemies He showeth Himself mighty.14 I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain myself, As a travailing woman I cry out, I desolate and swallow up together.15 I make waste mountains and hills, And all their herbs I dry up, And I have made rivers become isles, And ponds I dry up.16 And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.17 Removed backward -- utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a graven image, Those saying to a molten image, `Ye [are] our gods.`18 Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look to see.19 Who [is] blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Yea, blind, as the servant of Jehovah?20 Seeing many things, and thou observest not, Opening ears, and he heareth not.21 Jehovah hath delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifieth law, and maketh honourable.22 And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes -- all of them, And in houses of restraint they were hidden, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, `Restore.`23 Who among you giveth ear [to] this? Attendeth, and heareth afterwards.24 Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not Jehovah -- He against whom we sinned? Yea, they have not been willing in His ways to walk, Nor have they hearkened to His law.25 And He poureth on him fury, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it setteth him on fire round about, And he hath not known, And it burneth against him, and he layeth it not to heart!
