主在末世要安慰錫安和聚集以色列──蒙救贖者會歡欣鼓舞來到錫安──比照以賽亞書第五十一章及第五十二章一至二節。約主前五五九年至五四五年。

In the last days, the Lord will comfort Zion and gather Israel—The redeemed will come to Zion amid great joy—Compare Isaiah 51 and 52:1-2. About 559–545 B.C.

1 你們這追求公義的，當聽我言。要想想那鑿出你來的^ａ磐石和挖出你來的巖穴。

1 ^aHearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness. Look unto the ^brock from whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from whence ye are digged.

2 要想想你們的^ａ父親亞伯拉罕和生你們的^ｂ撒拉；因為他獨自一人的時候，我選召他，並賜福予他。

2 Look unto Abraham, your ^afather, and unto ^bSarah, she that bare you; for I called him alone, and blessed him.

3 主必安慰^ａ錫安，祂會安慰錫安一切的荒場，並且祂會使錫安的^ｂ曠野像伊甸，使錫安的沙漠像主的園囿；其中必有歡喜和快樂、感謝和歌唱的聲音。

3 For the Lord shall ^acomfort ^bZion, he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her ^cwilderness like ^dEden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.

4 我的人民啊，當聽我言；我的國民啊，側耳聽我說；因為^ａ律法必從我而出，並且我必使我的公理為人民之^ｂ光。

4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation; for a ^alaw shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a ^blight for the people.

5 我的公義臨近，我的^ａ救恩發出，而我的臂膀要審判人民。^ｂ海島都要等候我，且依賴我的臂膀。

5 My righteousness is near; my ^asalvation is gone forth, and mine arm shall ^bjudge the people. The ^cisles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

6 你們要舉目向天，也要觀看下面的大地；因^ａ諸天必像煙雲^ｂ消散，大地必如衣服^ｃ漸漸變舊；其上的居民，也要如此死亡。唯有我的救恩永遠長存，我的公義也不廢掉。

6 Lift up your eyes to the ^aheavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall ^bvanish away like smoke, and the earth shall ^cwax old like a garment; and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner. But my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

7 知道公義的民啊，我已在你們心中寫上我的律法，要聽我言，^ａ不要怕人的責備，也不要因人的辱罵驚惶。

7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart I have written my law, ^afear ye not the ^breproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their ^crevilings.

8 因為蛀蟲必咬他們，好像咬衣服，而蟲子必咬他們，如同咬羊絨；唯有我的公義永遠長存，我的救恩直到萬代。

8 For the ^amoth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool. But my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

9 主的臂膀啊，覺醒，覺醒！披上^ａ能力，像古時那樣覺醒。從前砍碎拉哈伯，刺透龍的，不是您嗎？

9 ^aAwake, awake! Put on ^bstrength, O arm of the Lord; awake as in the ancient days. Art thou not he that hath cut ^cRahab, and wounded the ^ddragon?

10 使海與深淵的水乾涸，使海的深處變為贖民經過之^ａ路的，不是您嗎？

10 Art thou not he who hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a ^away for the ransomed to pass over?

11 因此，主^ａ救贖的必歸回，並^ｂ歌唱來到錫安；而永恆喜樂與神聖必歸到他們的頭上；他們必得著歡喜快樂，憂愁^ｃ歎息盡都逃避。

11 Therefore, the ^aredeemed of the Lord shall ^breturn, and come with ^csinging unto Zion; and everlasting joy and holiness shall be upon their heads; and they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and ^dmourning shall flee away.

12 ^ａ我就是那位，是的，我就是那位安慰你們的。看啊，你是誰，竟^ｂ怕那必死的人，怕那要變如^ｃ草的人之子？

12 ^aI am he; yea, I am he that comforteth you. Behold, who art thou, that thou shouldst be ^bafraid of man, who shall die, and of the son of man, who shall be made like unto ^cgrass?

13 卻^ａ忘記鋪張諸天，立定大地根基，創造你的主；又因欺壓者圖謀毀滅而要發的憤怒，每天不停地害怕？而那欺壓者的憤怒在哪裡呢？

13 And ^aforgettest the Lord thy maker, that hath ^bstretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth, and hast feared continually every day, because of the fury of the ^coppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?

14 被擄去的快得釋放，必不死在坑中，他的食物，也不致缺乏。

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

15 我是主你的神，我的^ａ浪濤翻騰；萬軍之主是我的名。

15 But I am the Lord thy God, whose ^awaves roared; the Lord of Hosts is my name.

16 我將我的話放進你口中，用我的手影遮蔽你，為要安置諸天和立定大地根基，又對錫安說：看啊，你是我的^ａ人民。

16 And I have ^aput my words in thy mouth, and 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: Behold, thou art my ^bpeople.

17 耶路撒冷啊，覺醒，覺醒，站起來；你從主手中喝了祂^ａ憤怒之^ｂ杯，喝盡了那使人東倒西歪的杯中的渣滓。

17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the ^acup of his ^bfury—thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling wrung out—

18 她所生育的諸子中沒有一個牽引她的；她所養大的諸子中沒有一個攙扶她的。

18 And none to guide her among all the sons she hath brought forth; neither that taketh her by the hand, of all the sons she hath brought up.

19 這兩個^ａ兒子臨到你，他們為你舉哀──你的荒涼毀滅，和飢荒刀兵──我藉著誰來安慰你呢？

19 These two ^asons are come unto thee, who shall be sorry for thee—thy desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword—and by whom shall I comfort thee?

20 你的眾子發昏，除了這兩個以外；他們躺臥各街頭；他們像野牛在網羅之中，都滿了主的憤怒，你神的斥責。

20 Thy sons have fainted, save these two; 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.

21 因此，你這既困苦又非因酒而^ａ醉的，要聽我言：

21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and ^adrunken, and not with wine:

22 你的主，就是為祂人民^ａ辯屈的主你的神，如此說；看啊，我已從你手中接過那使人東倒西歪的杯，就是我憤怒之杯的渣滓；你必不再喝。

22 Thus saith thy Lord, the Lord and thy God ^apleadeth the cause of his people; behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again.

23 但是^ａ我必將這杯遞在苦待你的人手中；他們曾對你的靈魂說：屈身，讓我們踩過去吧；你便躺下身來，好像地面，又好像街道，任人踩過。

23 But ^aI will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; who 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.

24 ^ａ錫安啊，^ｂ覺醒，再覺醒，披上你的^ｃ能力；聖城耶路撒冷啊，穿上你華美的衣服；因為從今以後，未受割禮、不潔淨的必^ｄ不再進入你中間。

24 ^aAwake, awake, put on thy ^bstrength, O ^cZion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for henceforth there shall ^dno more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

25 耶路撒冷啊，要抖下塵土，^ａ起來，坐下；錫安被擄的女子啊，要解開你頸項的^ｂ鎖鏈。

25 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the ^abands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
