Listen to Me in silence, O coastlands. / Let the people renew their strength; / Let them approach, then let them speak; / Let us come together for judgment.
众海岛啊，当静静听我。愿众民重新得力，让他们近前来，然后让他们说话；我们可以一起辩诉。

Who has stirred up someone from the east, / Called him in righteousness to His feet? / He gave up the nations before him, / And caused him to have dominion over kings. / He made them like dust with his sword, / Like driven stubble with his bow.
谁从东方兴起一人，凭公义召他来到脚前？耶和华将列国交在他面前，使他管辖君王；用刀砍碎他们如灰尘，用弓射散他们如风吹的碎秸。

He pursues them and passes on in safety, / He will not come on a way known to his feet.
他追赶他们，安然前行，走他所未走的路。

Who has wrought this and done this, / Calling the generations from the beginning? / I, Jehovah, am the first, / And with the last, I am He.
谁行作且成就这事，从起初宣召历代呢？就是我耶和华，我是首先的，也与末后的同在。

The coastlands saw it and were afraid; / The ends of the earth trembled; / They drew near and came.
海岛看见就都害怕，地极也都战兢，就近前来。

Each one helps his neighbor, / And each one says to his brother, Be strong.
他们各人帮助邻舍，各人对弟兄说，要刚强。

So the craftsman encourages the goldsmith, / And he who smoothes metal with a hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, / Saying that the soldering is good; / And he fastens it with nails so that it should not be moved.
木匠勉励银匠，用锤打磨金属的勉励打砧的，论焊工说，焊得好；又用钉子钉稳，免得偶像动摇。

But you, Israel, My servant, / Jacob, whom I have chosen, / The seed of Abraham My friend;
惟你以色列我的仆人，雅各我所拣选的，我朋友亚伯拉罕的后裔；

You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, / And from its extremities have called, / And said to you, You are My servant; / I have chosen you and have not cast you away;
你是我从地极紧握领来的，从地角召来的，且对你说，你是我的仆人，我拣选了你，并没有弃绝你。

Do not be afraid, for I am with you; / Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. / I will strengthen you; surely I will help you; / Surely I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.
你不要害怕，因为我与你同在；不要惊惶，因为我是你的神。我必坚固你，我必帮助你，我必用我公义的右手扶持你。

Indeed all those who were incensed against you / Will be ashamed and confounded; / The men who strive against you / Will be as nothing and will perish.
看哪，凡向你发怒的，都必抱愧蒙羞；与你相争的，必如无有，并要灭亡。

You will seek but not find / The men who contend with you; / The men who war with you / Will be as nothing and as without existence.
与你争竞的，你要找他们也找不着；与你争战的，必成为无有，成为虚无。

For I am Jehovah your God, / Who takes hold of your right hand, / Who says to you, Do not be afraid; / I will help you.
因为我是耶和华你的神，我紧握你的右手，对你说，不要害怕，我必帮助你。

Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, / You few men of Israel; / I will help you, declares Jehovah, / Even your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
你这虫雅各，你们稀少的以色列人，不要害怕；耶和华你的救赎主，以色列的圣者说，我必帮助你。

Now I will make you into a sharp threshing instrument, / One that is new and possessing teeth. / You shall thresh the mountains and make them powder, / And you shall make the hills like chaff.
看哪，我必使你成为有快齿打粮的新器具。你要把山岭打得粉碎，使冈陵如同糠秕。

You shall winnow them, and the wind will carry them away / And the storm wind will scatter them. / And you will rejoice in Jehovah, / You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
你要把这些簸扬，风要卷去，旋风要刮散。你倒要因耶和华欢乐，以以色列的圣者为夸耀。

When the poor and needy seek for water, and there is none, / And their tongue is dry from thirst, / I, Jehovah, will answer them; / As the God of Israel I will not forsake them.
困苦穷乏人寻求水却没有，他们因口渴舌头干燥；我耶和华必应允他们，我以色列的神必不离弃他们。

I will open up rivers on the bare heights, / And in the midst of the valleys, springs. / I will make the wilderness into a pool of water, / And the dry land into springs of water.
我要在光秃的高处开江河，在谷中开泉源。我要使旷野变为水池，使干地变为水泉。

I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, / The acacia, the myrtle, and the olive tree; / I will place in the desert the fir tree, / The pine tree, and the box tree together;
我要在旷野种上香柏树、皂荚树、番石榴树和橄榄树；我在沙漠要把松树、杉树并黄杨树一同栽植；

That they may see and know, / And consider and understand together, / That the hand of Jehovah has done this, / And the Holy One of Israel has created it.
好叫人看见、知道、思想、一同明白，这是耶和华的手所作的，是以色列的圣者所造的。

Present your case, says Jehovah; / Bring forward your arguments, says the King of Jacob.
耶和华对假神说，你们要呈上你们的案件；雅各的王说，你们要提出你们的论据。

Let them bring forth and declare to us / What will take place; / Let them show what the former things were, / That we may consider them, / And may know the end of them; / Or let us hear the things that are coming.
让他们提出，向我们说明将要发生的事；让他们说明先前的是什么事，好叫我们思索，得知事的结局；或者让我们听见将来的事。

Declare to us the things that are coming afterward, / That we may know that you are gods; / Indeed do good or do evil, / That we may look at one another anxiously and be afraid together.
要说明后来的事，好叫我们知道你们是神；你们或降福或降祸吧，使我们忧急对望，同感惧怕。

You are indeed nothing, / And your work is of no consequence; / He who chooses you is an abomination.
看哪，你们属于虚无，你们的作为也属于虚空；那选择你们的是可憎恶的。

I have raised up one from the north and he has come; / From the rising of the sun he will call upon My name. / He will come upon rulers as upon mortar, / As the potter treads the clay.
我从北方兴起一人，他已经来了；他必从日出之地呼求我的名。他必临到掌权的，好像临到灰泥，仿佛窑匠踹泥一样。

Who has declared it from the beginning that we may know, / And in advance that we may say, He is right? / Indeed there was no one who declared it; indeed no one who let us hear; / Indeed no one who heard your words.
谁从起初说明这事，使我们知道呢？谁从先前说明，使我们说他不错呢？谁也没有说明，谁也没有给我们听见；谁也没有听见你们的话。

Formerly I said to Zion, Here, here they are; / And to Jerusalem, I will give someone who preaches glad tidings.
我首先对锡安说，看看这些；我要将一位报好信息的赐给耶路撒冷。

But I looked and there was no man, / And from among these there was no counselor, / Who, when I asked, would give Me an answer.
我看的时候并没有人，他们中间也没有谋士，可以在我问的时候回答一句。

Indeed all of them are vanity; / Their works are of no consequence; / Their molten images are a wind and a waste.
看哪，他们都是虚空，他们的工作乃是虚无；他们所铸的像都是风，都是虚的。
