以赛亚书 第 50 章
1耶和华如此说: 我休你们的母亲, 休书在哪里呢? 我将你们卖给我哪一个债主呢? 你们被卖,是因你们的罪孽; 你们的母亲被休,是因你们的过犯。
1Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2我来的时候,为何无人等候呢? 我呼唤的时候,为何无人答应呢? 我的膀臂岂是缩短、不能救赎吗? 我岂无拯救之力吗? 看哪,我一斥责,海就干了; 我使江河变为旷野; 其中的鱼因无水腥臭,干渴而死。
2Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
4主耶和华赐我受教者的舌头, 使我知道怎样用言语扶助疲乏的人。 主每早晨提醒, 提醒我的耳朵, 使我能听,像受教者一样。
4The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
5主耶和华开通我的耳朵; 我并没有违背,也没有退后。
5The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6人打我的背,我任他打; 人拔我腮颊的胡须,我由他拔; 人辱我,吐我,我并不掩面。
6I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7主耶和华必帮助我, 所以我不抱愧。 我硬着脸面好像坚石; 我也知道我必不致蒙羞。
7For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8称我为义的与我相近; 谁与我争论, 可以与我一同站立; 谁与我作对, 可以就近我来。
8He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9主耶和华要帮助我; 谁能定我有罪呢? 他们都像衣服渐渐旧了, 为蛀虫所咬。
9Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
