1 你这不怀孕、不生养的要歌唱；

你这未曾经过产难的要发声歌唱，扬声欢呼；

因为没有丈夫的比有丈夫的儿女更多。

这是耶和华说的。

2 要扩张你帐幕之地，

张大你居所的幔子，不要限止；

要放长你的绳子，

坚固你的橛子。

3 因为你要向左向右开展；

你的后裔必得多国为业，

又使荒凉的城邑有人居住。

4 不要惧怕，因你必不致蒙羞；

也不要抱愧，因你必不致受辱。

你必忘记幼年的羞愧，

不再记念你寡居的羞辱。

5 因为造你的是你的丈夫；

万军之耶和华是他的名。

救赎你的是以色列的圣者；

他必称为全地之　神。

6 耶和华召你，

如召被离弃心中忧伤的妻，

就是幼年所娶被弃的妻。

这是你　神所说的。

7 我离弃你不过片时，

却要施大恩将你收回。

8 我的怒气涨溢，

顷刻之间向你掩面，

却要以永远的慈爱怜恤你。

这是耶和华－你的救赎主说的。

9 这事在我好像挪亚的洪水。

我怎样起誓不再使挪亚的洪水漫过遍地，

我也照样起誓不再向你发怒，

也不斥责你。

10 大山可以挪开，

小山可以迁移；

但我的慈爱必不离开你；

我平安的约也不迁移。

这是怜恤你的耶和华说的。

you who were never in labor;

because more are the children of the desolate woman

than of her who has a husband,”

says the Lord.

2 “Enlarge the place of your tent,

stretch your tent curtains wide,

do not hold back;

lengthen your cords,

strengthen your stakes.

3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left;

your descendants will dispossess nations

and settle in their desolate cities.

4 “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.

Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.

You will forget the shame of your youth

and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.

5 For your Maker is your husband—

the Lord Almighty is his name—

the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;

he is called the God of all the earth.

6 The Lord will call you back

as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—

a wife who married young,

only to be rejected,” says your God.

7 “For a brief moment I abandoned you,

but with deep compassion I will bring you back.

8 In a surge of anger

I hid my face from you for a moment,

but with everlasting kindness

I will have compassion on you,”

says the Lord your Redeemer.

9 “To me this is like the days of Noah,

when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.

So now I have sworn not to be angry with you,

never to rebuke you again.

10T hough the mountains be shaken

and the hills be removed,

yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken

nor my covenant of peace be removed,”

says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
