Isaiah 48

雅各家，称为以色列名下， 从犹大水源出来的，当听我言！ 你们指着耶和华的名起誓， 提说以色列的 神， 却不凭诚实，不凭公义。

yǎ gè jiā ， chēng wéi yǐ sè liè míng xià ， cóng yóu dà shuǐ yuán chū lái de ， dāng tīng wǒ yán ！ nǐ men zhǐ zhe yē hé huá de míng qǐ shì ， tí shuō yǐ sè liè de shén ， què bù píng chéng shí ， bù píng gōng yì 。

“Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah. You swear by the LORD’s name, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness—

他们自称为圣城的人， 所倚靠的是 名为万军之耶和华—以色列的 神。

tā men zì chēng wéi shèng chéng de rén ， suǒ yǐ kào de shì míng wèi wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén 。

for they call themselves citizens of the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel; the LORD of Armies is his name.

主说：早先的事，我从古时说明， 已经出了我的口， 也是我所指示的； 我忽然行做，事便成就。

zhǔ shuō ： zǎo xiān de shì ， wǒ cóng gǔ shí shuō míng ， yǐ jīng chū le wǒ de kǒu ， yě shì wǒ suǒ zhǐ shì de ； wǒ hū rán xíng zuò ， shì biàn chéng jiù 。

I have declared the former things from of old. Yes, they went out of my mouth, and I revealed them. I did them suddenly, and they happened.

因为我素来知道你是顽梗的— 你的颈项是铁的； 你的额是铜的。

yīn wèi wǒ sù lái zhī dào nǐ shì wán gěng de — nǐ de jǐng xiàng shì tiě de ； nǐ de é shì tóng de 。

Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;

所以，我从古时将这事给你说明， 在未成以先指示你， 免得你说：这些事是我的偶像所行的， 是我雕刻的偶像和我铸造的偶像所命定的。

suǒ yǐ ， wǒ cóng gǔ shí jiāng zhè shì gěi nǐ shuō míng ， zài wèi chéng yǐ xiān zhǐ shì nǐ ， miǎn de nǐ shuō ： zhè xiē shì shì wǒ de ǒu xiàng suǒ xíng de ， shì wǒ diāo kè de ǒu xiàng hé wǒ zhù zào de ǒu xiàng suǒ mìng dìng de 。

therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them. My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’

你已经听见，现在要看见这一切； 你不说明吗？ 从今以后，我将新事， 就是你所不知道的隐密事指示你。

nǐ yǐ jīng tīng jiàn ， xiàn zài yào kàn jiàn zhè yí qiè ； nǐ bù shuō míng ma ？ cóng jīn yǐ hòu ， wǒ jiāng xīn shì ， jiù shì nǐ suǒ bù zhī dào de yǐn mì shì zhǐ shì nǐ 。

You have heard it. Now see all this. And you, won’t you declare it? “I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.

这事是现今造的，并非从古就有； 在今日以先，你也未曾听见， 免得你说：这事我早已知道了。

zhè shì shì xiàn jīn zào de ， bìng fēi cóng gǔ jiù yǒu ； zài jīn rì yǐ xiān ， nǐ yě wèi céng tīng jiàn ， miǎn de nǐ shuō ： zhè shì wǒ zǎo yǐ zhī dào le 。

They are created now, and not from of old. Before today, you didn’t hear them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’

你未曾听见，未曾知道； 你的耳朵从来未曾开通。 我原知道你行事极其诡诈， 你自从出胎以来， 便称为悖逆的。

nǐ wèi céng tīng jiàn ， wèi céng zhī dào ； nǐ de ěr duo cóng lái wèi céng kāi tōng 。 wǒ yuán zhī dào nǐ xíng shì jí qí guǐ zhà ， nǐ zì cóng chū tāi yǐ lái ， biàn chēng wéi bèi nì de 。

Yes, you didn’t hear. Yes, you didn’t know. Yes, from of old your ear was not opened, for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.

我为我的名暂且忍怒， 为我的颂赞向你容忍， 不将你剪除。

wǒ wèi wǒ de míng zàn qiě rěn nù ， wèi wǒ de sòng zàn xiàng nǐ róng rěn ， bù jiāng nǐ jiǎn chú 。

For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger, and for my praise, I hold it back for you so that I don’t cut you off.

我熬炼你，却不像熬炼银子； 你在苦难的炉中，我拣选你。

wǒ áo liàn nǐ ， què bú xiàng áo liàn yín zi ； nǐ zài kǔ nàn de lú zhōng ， wǒ jiǎn xuǎn nǐ 。

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

我为自己的缘故必行这事， 我焉能使我的名被亵渎？ 我必不将我的荣耀归给假神。

wǒ wèi zì jǐ de yuán gù bì xíng zhè shì ， wǒ yān néng shǐ wǒ de míng bèi xiè dú ？ wǒ bì bù jiāng wǒ de róng yào guī gěi jiǎ shén 。

For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it; for how would my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.

雅各—我所选召的以色列啊， 当听我言： 我是耶和华， 我是首先的，也是末后的。

yǎ gè — wǒ suǒ xuǎn zhào de yǐ sè liè a ， dāng tīng wǒ yán ： wǒ shì yē hé huá ， wǒ shì shǒu xiān de ， yě shì mò hòu de 。

“Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.

我手立了地的根基； 我右手铺张诸天； 我一招呼便都立住。

wǒ shǒu lì le dì de gēn jī ； wǒ yòu shǒu pū zhāng zhū tiān ； wǒ yì zhāo hū biàn dōu lì zhù 。

Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. when I call to them, they stand up together.

你们都当聚集而听， 他们 内中谁说过这些事？ 耶和华所爱的人必向巴比伦行他所喜悦的事； 他的膀臂也要加在迦勒底人身上。

nǐ men dōu dāng jù jí ér tīng ， tā men nèi zhōng shuí shuō guò zhè xiē shì ？ yē hé huá suǒ ài de rén bì xiàng bā bǐ lún xíng tā suǒ xǐ yuè de shì ； tā de bǎng bì yě yào jiā zài jiā lè dǐ rén shēn shàng 。

“Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? He whom the LORD loves will do what he likes to Babylon, and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.

惟有我曾说过，我又选召他， 领他来，他的道路就必亨通。

wéi yǒu wǒ céng shuō guò ， wǒ yòu xuǎn zhào tā ， lǐng tā lái ， tā de dào lù jiù bì hēng tōng 。

I, even I, have spoken. Yes, I have called him. I have brought him and he shall make his way prosperous.

你们要就近我来听这话： 我从起头并未曾在隐密处说话； 自从有这事，我就在那里。 现在，主耶和华差遣我和他的灵来 。

nǐ men yào jiù jìn wǒ lái tīng zhè huà ： wǒ cóng qǐ tóu bìng wèi céng zài yǐn mì chù shuō huà ； zì cóng yǒu zhè shì ， wǒ jiù zài nà lǐ 。 xiàn zài ， zhǔ yē hé huá chāi qiǎn wǒ hé tā de líng lái 。

“Come near to me and hear this: “From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it happened, I was there.” Now the Lord GOD has sent me with his Spirit.

耶和华—你的救赎主， 以色列的圣者如此说： 我是耶和华—你的 神， 教训你，使你得益处， 引导你所当行的路。

yē hé huá — nǐ de jiù shú zhǔ ， yǐ sè liè de shèng zhě rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ shì yē hé huá — nǐ de shén ， jiào xùn nǐ ， shǐ nǐ dé yì chù ， yǐn dǎo nǐ suǒ dāng xíng de lù 。

The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

甚愿你素来听从我的命令！ 你的平安就如河水； 你的公义就如海浪。

shèn yuàn nǐ sù lái tīng cóng wǒ de mìng lìng ！ nǐ de píng ān jiù rú hé shuǐ ； nǐ de gōng yì jiù rú hǎi làng 。

Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

你的后裔也必多如海沙； 你腹中所生的也必多如沙粒。 他的名在我面前必不剪除， 也不灭绝。

nǐ de hòu yì yě bì duō rú hǎi shā ； nǐ fù zhōng suǒ shēng de yě bì duō rú shā lì 。 tā de míng zài wǒ miàn qián bì bù jiǎn chú ， yě bú miè jué 。

Your offspring also would have been as the sand and the descendants of your body like its grains. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.”

你们要从巴比伦出来， 从迦勒底人中逃脱， 以欢呼的声音传扬说： 耶和华救赎了他的仆人雅各！ 你们要将这事宣扬到地极。

nǐ men yào cóng bā bǐ lún chū lái ， cóng jiā lè dǐ rén zhōng táo tuō ， yǐ huān hū de shēng yīn chuán yáng shuō ： yē hé huá jiù shú le tā de pú rén yǎ gè ！ nǐ men yào jiāng zhè shì xuān yáng dào dì jí 。

Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With the sound of joyful shouting announce this, tell it even to the end of the earth; say, “The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob!”

耶和华引导他们经过沙漠。 他们并不干渴； 他为他们使水从磐石而流， 分裂磐石，水就涌出。

yē hé huá yǐn dǎo tā men jīng guò shā mò 。 tā men bìng bù gān kě ； tā wèi tā men shǐ shuǐ cóng pán shí ér liú ， fēn liè pán shí ， shuǐ jiù yǒng chū 。

They didn’t thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock and the waters gushed out.

耶和华说： 恶人必不得平安！

yē hé huá shuō ： è rén bì bù dé píng ān ！

“There is no peace”, says the LORD, “for the wicked.”
