1 Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him-and I will loose the loins of kings; to open before him the two-leaved doors, and the gates shall not be shut:
2 I will go before thee, and make the elevated places plain; I will break in pieces the brazen doors, and cut asunder the bars of iron;
3 and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places; that thou mayest know that I, Jehovah, who call thee by name, {am} the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have called thee by thy name; I surnamed thee, though thou didst not know me;
5 I {am} Jehovah, and there is none else; there is no God beside me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me;
6 -that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the going down, that there is none beside me. I {am} Jehovah, and there is none else;
7 forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.
8 Drop down, {ye} heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and with it let righteousness spring up. I, Jehovah, have created it.
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let a potsherd {strive} with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that formeth it, What makest thou? Or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto {his} father, What begettest thou? Or to {his} mother, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.
12 It is I that have made the earth, and created man upon it; it is I, my hands, that have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 It is I that have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith Jehovah of hosts.
14 Thus saith Jehovah: The wealth of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall walk after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall bow down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, {saying,} Surely *God is in thee; and there is none else, no other God. ...
15 Verily thou art a *God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. ...
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them; they shall go away in confusion together, the makers of idols.
17 Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded, unto the ages of ages.
18 For thus saith Jehovah who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, he who established it, -not as waste did he create it: he formed it to be inhabited: -I {am} Jehovah, and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek me in vain: I {am} Jehovah, speaking righteousness, declaring things which are right.
20 Gather yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations. They have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a *god that cannot save.
21 Declare and bring {them} near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath caused this to be heard from ancient time? {who} hath declared it long ago? Is it not I, Jehovah? And there is no God else beside me; a just *God and a Saviour, there is none besides me.
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I {am} *God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth {in} righteousness and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Only in Jehovah, shall one say, have I righteousness and strength. To him shall {men} come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
1 "我耶和华所膏立的古列, 我紧握着他的右手, 使列国降服在他面前; 我也松开列王的腰带; 我使门户在他面前敞开, 使城门不得关闭; 耶和华对古列这样说:
2 我必亲自领导你, 把高低不平的路修平; 铜门, 我必打破; 铁门, 我必砍断。
3 我必把隐藏的宝物和在隐密处的财宝赐给你, 使你知道我就是按着你的名呼召了你的耶和华, 以色列的 神。
4 因我的仆人雅各和我所拣选的以色列的缘故, 我按着你的名呼召了你; 你虽然不认识我, 我却给你这个尊贵的名号。
5 "我是耶和华, 再没有别的神了; 除了我以外, 并没有真神; 你虽然不认识我, 我必坚固你,
6 为要叫从日出之地到日落之地的人都知道, 除了我以外, 没有真神; 我是耶和华, 再没有别的神了。
7 我造光, 也造黑暗; 我赐平安, 也降灾祸; 我耶和华是造成这一切事的。
8 诸天啊! 你们要从上滴下公义, 让云层降下公义。让大地裂开, 生出救恩, 使公义一同生长, 是我耶和华创造了这事。
9 那与他的创造主争论的, 有祸了! 他不过是地上瓦片中的一片瓦片, 泥土能对陶匠说: ‘你在作什么?’或你所作成的说: ‘他没有手’吗?
10 那对父亲说: ‘你生的是什么’, 或对母亲说: ‘你产的是什么’的, 有祸了! "
11 以色列的圣者, 造以色列的主耶和华这样说: "你们可以问我将要来的事, 关于我的众子和我手所作的, 你们也可以吩咐我回答。
12 我造了地, 又造了人在地上; 我亲手展开了诸天, 又命定了天上的万象。
13 我凭着公义兴起了古列, 我必修平他的一切道路; 他必建造我的城, 释放我被掳的子民, 不必用工价, 也不用赏赐, 这是万军之耶和华说的。"
14 耶和华这样说: "埃及劳碌得来的和古实所得之利, 以及身量高大的西巴人, 都必过来归你, 也要属你; 他们必带着锁链过来随从你, 向你俯伏, 向你恳求, 说: ‘ 神真的在你们中间, 此外, 再没有别的神, 没有别的真神。’"
15 拯救者以色列的 神啊! 你实在是隐藏自己的 神。
16 制造偶像的都必蒙羞受辱, 都要一同归于羞愧。
17 唯有以色列必靠着耶和华得救, 得着永远的拯救; 你们必不蒙羞, 也不受辱, 直到永远。
18 因为创造诸天的耶和华, 他是 神, 塑造大地, 把大地造成; 他坚立大地; 他创造大地, 不是荒凉的; 他塑造大地, 是要给人居住; 他这样说: "我是耶和华, 再没有别的 神。
19 我没有在隐密处、在黑暗之地说过话; 我没有对雅各的后裔说过: ‘你们寻求我是徒然的。’我耶和华讲说公义, 宣扬正直。
20 "列国逃脱的人哪! 你们要来集合, 一同近前来。那些抬着木头做的偶像, 向不能拯救人的神祈求的, 真是无知。
21 你们述说吧! 提出理由吧! 让他们彼此商议吧! 谁从古时使人听见这事呢?谁从上古把这事述说出来呢?不是我耶和华吗?除了我以外, 再没有 神, 我是公义的 神, 又是拯救者; 除了我以外, 并没有别的 神。
22 全地的人哪! 你们都要归向我, 都要得救。因为我是 神, 再没有别的 神。
23 我指着自己起誓, 我的口凭着公义说出的话, 决不改变: ‘万膝都必向我跪拜, 万口都要指着我起誓。’
24 人论到我必说: ‘只有在耶和华里面才有公义和能力’; 向他发怒的, 都必来到他面前, 并且要蒙羞。
25 以色列所有的后裔, 都必靠耶和华得称为义, 并要夸胜。"
