But now hear, O Jacob, My servant, / And Israel, whom I have chosen.
我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的以色列啊，现在你当听。

Thus says Jehovah your Maker / And the One who formed you from the womb, who will help you, / Do not fear, O Jacob, My servant, / And Jeshurun whom I have chosen,
造作你，又从母腹里就塑造你，并要帮助你的耶和华如此说，我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的耶书仑哪，不要害怕；

For I will pour water upon the thirsty land, / And streams upon the dry ground; / I will pour out My Spirit upon your seed, / And My blessing upon your offspring.
因为我要将水浇灌干渴之处，将河浇灌干旱之地；我要将我的灵浇灌你的后裔，将我的福浇灌你的子孙。

They will spring up among the grass, / Like poplars beside the flowing streams of water.
他们要在草中长起，像溪水旁的柳树。

One will say, I am Jehovah's; / Another will call himself by the name of Jacob; / Another will write with his hand, I am Jehovah's; / He will name himself with the name Israel.
这个要说，我是属耶和华的；那个要以雅各的名自称；又一个要亲手写，我是属耶和华的，并要以以色列这名自称。

Thus says Jehovah the King of Israel, / And his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts, / I am the First and I am the Last, / And apart from Me there is no God.
耶和华以色列的王，以色列的救赎主万军之耶和华如此说，我是首先的，我是末后的，除我以外再没有神。

And who can proclaim as I can? / Then let him declare it and recount it in order for Me, / Since I set forth the people of ancient times. / Let them declare to them both the coming things / And the things which will take place.
自从我设立古时的民，谁能像我这样宣告？让他表明，并依次向我陈说。让他们将要来的事和必成的事说明。

Do not tremble and do not be afraid. / Have I not related to you from that time and declared it? / And you are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? / Or is there any other Rock? I do not know of any.
你们不要恐惧，也不要害怕。我岂不是从上古就说给你们听，指示了你们么？并且你们是我的见证人。除我以外，岂有神么？岂有别的磐石么？我不知道有哪一个。

All those who make idols are a waste. / And the things they delight in will not profit them. / And those who are witnesses for them do not see, / And they do not know, that they may be put to shame.
雕制偶像的，尽都虚空；他们所喜悦的，都无益处；他们的见证人无所看见，无所知晓，他们便觉羞愧。

Who has formed a god or cast an idol / That is of no profit?
谁制造神像，铸造无益的偶像？

Indeed, all those joined to him will be put to shame, / For the craftsmen are only men. / Let all of them be gathered together, let them stand up; / Let them be afraid and be put to shame together.
看哪，偶像的同伙都必羞愧，因为工匠不过是人。任他们众人聚会，任他们站立，任他们惧怕，一同羞愧。

The ironsmith sharpens a cutting tool, / And works over the coals, / And forms the idol with hammers, / And he works it with the strength of his arm. / Yet he becomes hungry and has no strength; / If he does not drink water, he faints.
铁匠磨利切割的工具，在火炭中操作，用锤打造偶像，用他有力的膀臂制作；但他也会饥饿无力，不喝水就发倦。

The carpenter stretches out a line; / He marks it out with a marking tool; / He works it with planes, / And marks it with a compass. / He makes it according to the likeness of a man, / Like the beautiful appearance of man, to dwell in a house.
木匠拉线，用笔画出样子；用刨子刨成形状，用圆尺画了模样；他仿照人的样式、人的俊美，将偶像造作而成，好住在房屋中。

Someone prepares to cut down cedars for himself, / Or he takes a cypress or an oak; / He lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest; / He plants an ash, and the rain nourishes it.
有人预备为自己砍伐香柏树，或取柏树和橡树；他让树在树林中长得茁壮；他栽种白杨树，得雨水滋养。

It is also something for a man to burn; / He takes one of them and warms himself; / He even kindles a fire and bakes bread. / With the same he also makes a god and worships it; / He makes it into a graven image and bows down before it.
这树，人可用以烧火；他自己取些烤火，又烧着烤饼；而且作神像跪拜，作雕制的偶像向它叩拜。

Half of it he burns in a fire; / Over this half he eats flesh, / And he roasts a roast and is satisfied. / He also warms himself and says, Ha! / I am warm, I have seen fire.
他把一半烧在火中，用这一半烤肉吃，烤了肉，也吃饱了；又自己烤火，说，啊哈，我暖和了，我见火了。

The rest of it he makes into a god, into his idol; / He bows down to it and worships it / And prays to it and says, / Deliver me, for you are my god.
他用剩下的作了一个神像，就是雕制的偶像；他向这偶像俯伏叩拜，祷告它说，求你拯救我，因你是我的神。

They do not know, and they do not understand, / For He has covered their eyes so that they cannot see, / And their minds so that they cannot understand.
他们不知道，也不明白，因为耶和华遮住他们的眼，叫他们不能看见，塞住他们的心，叫他们不能明白。

And no one considers in his heart, / And there is no knowledge or understanding to say, / I have burned half of it in the fire, / And I have even baked bread over its coals; / I have roasted flesh and eaten it. / Then shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? / Shall I fall down before a block of wood?
没有人心里醒悟，也没有人有知识或聪明，说，我曾把一半在火中烧了，在炭火上烤过饼；我也烤过肉吃。这剩下的，我岂要作成可憎的物么？我岂可向木块叩拜呢？

He feeds on ashes; / A deceived heart has led him astray; / And he cannot deliver his soul; / Nor does he say, Is this not a lie in my right hand?
他以灰为食；他的心被迷惑，使他偏离正路；他不能救自己的魂；也不能说，我右手中岂不是有虚谎么？

Remember these things, O Jacob, / And Israel, for you are My servant. / I have formed you; you are My servant; / O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me.
雅各、以色列啊，要记念这些事，因你是我的仆人。我塑造了你，你是我的仆人；以色列啊，你必不会被我忘记。

I have wiped away, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, / And like a cloud, your sins. / Return unto Me, for I have redeemed you.
我涂抹了你的过犯，像厚云消散；我涂抹了你的罪，如薄云灭没。你当归向我，因我救赎了你。

Sing for joy, O heavens, for Jehovah has accomplished it. / Shout, O lower parts of the earth; / Break forth with singing, O mountains, / The forest and every tree in it; / For Jehovah has redeemed Jacob / And is glorified in Israel.
诸天哪，应当欢唱，因为耶和华作成这事。地的低下之处啊，应当欢呼；众山哪，应当发声欢唱，树林和其中所有的树，都当如此；因为耶和华救赎了雅各，并要因以色列得荣耀。

Thus says Jehovah who redeemed you / And formed you from the womb, / I am Jehovah who makes all things, / Who alone stretches out the heavens, / Who spread out the earth (Who was with Me?);
那救赎你，从母腹中就塑造你的耶和华如此说，我是造作万物的耶和华，是独自铺张诸天、铺开大地的；（那时谁与我同在呢？）

Who frustrates the signs of liars, / And makes fools of the diviners; / Who turns back the wise men, / And makes their knowledge foolish;
我使说假话的兆头失效，使占卜的变成愚妄，使智慧人退后，使他们的知识变为愚拙；

Who confirms the word of His servant, / And fulfills the counsel of His messengers; / Who says to Jerusalem, She will be inhabited, / And to the cities of Judah, They will be built, / And I will raise up their ruins;
使我仆人的话语立定，我使者的谋算成就；论到耶路撒冷说，必有人居住；论到犹大的城邑说，必被建造，其中的荒场我也必兴起；

Who says to the depths, Be dried up, / And I will dry up your rivers;
对深渊说，你干了吧，我也要使你的江河干涸；

Who says to Cyrus, He is My shepherd, / And he will fulfill all My desire, / Even by saying of Jerusalem, She will be built, / And of the temple, Her foundations will be laid.
论古列说，他是我的牧人，必成就我所喜悦的一切，就是论到耶路撒冷说，她必被建造，论到圣殿说，她的根基必立稳。
