51:1 你们这追求公义寻求耶和华的，当听我言。你们要追想被凿而出的磐石，被挖而出的严穴。

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

 

51:2 要追想你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕，和生养你们的撒拉。因为亚伯拉罕独自一人的时候，我选召他，赐福与他，使他人数增多。

Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

 

51:3 耶和华已经安慰锡安，和锡安一切的荒场，使旷野像伊甸，使沙漠像耶和华的园囿。在其中必有欢喜，快乐，感谢和歌唱的声音。

For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

 

51:4 我的百姓阿，要向我留心。我的国民哪，要向我侧耳。因为训诲必从我而出，我必坚定我的公理为万民之光。

Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

 

51:5 我的公义临近，我的救恩发出，我的膀臂要审判万民。海岛都要等候我，倚赖我的膀臂。

My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

 

51:6 你们要向天举目，观看下地。因为天必像烟云消散，地必如衣服渐渐旧了。其上的居民，也要如此死亡。（如此死亡或作像蠓虫死亡）惟有我的救恩永远长存，我的公义也不废掉。

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

 

51:7 知道公义，将我训诲存在心中的民，要听我言不要怕人的辱骂，也不要因人的毁谤惊惶。

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

 

51:8 因为蛀虫必咬他们，好像咬衣服，虫子必咬他们，如同咬羊绒。惟有我的公义永远长存，我的救恩直到万代。

For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

 

51:9 耶和华的膀臂阿，兴起，兴起，以能力为衣穿上，像古时的年日，上古的世代兴起一样。从前砍碎拉哈伯，刺透大鱼的，不是你吗。

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

 

51:10 使海与深渊的水乾涸，使海的深处变为赎民经过之路的，不是你吗。

Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

 

51:11 耶和华救赎的民必归回，歌唱来到锡安。永乐必归到他们头上，他们必得着欢喜快乐，忧愁叹息尽都逃避。

Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

 

51:12 惟有我，是安慰你们的。你是谁，竟怕那必死的人，怕那要变如草的世人。

I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;

 

51:13 却忘记铺张诸天，立定地基，创造你的耶和华。又因欺压者图谋毁灭要发的暴怒，整天害怕。其实那欺压者的暴怒在那里呢。

And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

 

51:14 被掳去的快得释放，必不死而下坑。他的食物，也不致缺乏。

The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

 

51:15 我是耶和华你的神，搅动大海，使海中的波浪？？訇。万军之耶和华是我的名。

But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.

 

51:16 我将我的话传给你，用我的手影哨蔽你，为要栽定诸天，立定地基。又对锡安说，你是我的百姓。

And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

 

51:17 耶路撒冷阿，兴起，兴起，站起来。你从耶和华手中喝了他忿怒之杯，喝了那使人东倒西歪的爵，以至喝尽。

Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.

 

51:18 他所生育的诸子中没有一个引导他的。他所养大的诸子中没有一个搀扶他的。

There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.

 

51:19 荒凉，毁灭，饥荒，刀兵，这几样临到你，谁为你举哀。我如何能安慰你呢。

These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?

 

51:20 你的众子发昏，在各市口上躺卧，好像黄羊在网罗之中。都满了耶和华的忿怒，你神的斥责。

Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.

 

51:21 因此，你这困苦却非因酒而醉的，要听我言。

Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:

 

51:22 你的主耶和华，就是为他百姓辨屈的神，如此说，看哪，我已将那使人东倒西歪的杯，就是我忿怒的爵，从你手中接过来。你必不至再喝。

Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

 

51:23 我必将这杯，递在苦待你的人手中。他们曾对你说，你屈身，由我们践踏过去吧。你便以背为地，好像街市，任人经过。

But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
