以赛亚书40：1～17
安慰的话
1 你们的 SHEN 说：
你们要安慰，安慰我的百姓。
2 要对耶路撒冷说安慰的话，
又向她宣告说，
她争战的日子已满了；
她的罪孽赦免了；
她为自己的一切罪，
从耶/和/华手中加倍受罚。
3 有人声喊着说：
在旷野预备耶/和/华的路，
在沙漠地修平我们 SHEN 的道。
4 一切山洼都要填满，
大小山冈都要削平；
高高低低的要改为平坦，
崎崎岖岖的必成为平原。
5 耶/和/华的荣耀必然显现；
凡有血气的必一同看见；
因为这是耶/和/华亲口说的。
6 有人声说：你喊叫吧！
有一个说：我喊叫什么呢？
说：凡有血气的尽都如草；
他的美容都像野地的花。
7 草必枯干，花必凋残，
因为耶/和/华的气吹在其上；
百姓诚然是草。
8 草必枯干，花必凋残，
惟有我们 SHEN 的话必永远立定。
9 报好信息给锡安的啊，
你要登高山；
报好信息给耶路撒冷的啊，
你要极力扬声。
扬声不要惧怕，
对犹大的城邑说：
看哪，你们的 SHEN ！
10 主耶/和/华必像大能者临到；
他的膀臂必为他掌权。
他的赏赐在他那里；
他的报应在他面前。
11 他必像牧人牧养自己的羊群，
用膀臂聚集羊羔抱在怀中，
慢慢引导那乳养小羊的。
以色列的 SHEN 无可比拟
12 谁曾用手心量诸水，
用手虎口量苍天，
用升斗盛大地的尘土，
用秤称山岭，
用天平平冈陵呢？
13 谁曾测度耶/和/华的心，
或作他的谋士指教他呢？
14 他与谁商议，谁教导他，
谁将公平的路指示他，
又将知识教训他，
将通达的道指教他呢？
15 看哪，万民都像水桶的一滴，
又算如天平上的微尘；
他举起众海岛，好像极微之物。
16 黎巴嫩 的树林不够当柴烧；
其中的走兽也不够作燔祭。
17 万民在他面前好像虚无，
被他看为不及虚无，乃为虚空。
Comfort for God’s People
1 Comfort, comfort my people,
says your God.
2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and proclaim to her
that her hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has received from the Lord’s hand
double for all her sins.
3 A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
the way for the Lord;
make straight in the desert
a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.
5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,
and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
6 A voice says, “Cry out.”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
“All people are like grass,
and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.
7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the Lord blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God endures forever.”
9 You who bring good news to Zion,
go up on a high mountain.
You who bring good news to Jerusalem,
lift up your voice with a shout,
lift it up, do not be afraid;
say to the towns of Judah,
“Here is your God!”
10 See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power,
and he rules with a mighty arm.
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.
11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
or weighed the mountains on the scales
and the hills in a balance?
13 Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord,
or instruct the Lord as his counselor?
14 Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him,
and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge,
or showed him the path of understanding?
15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are regarded as dust on the scales;
he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.
16 Lebanon is not sufficient for altar fires,
nor its animals enough for burnt offerings.
17 Before him all the nations are as nothing;
they are regarded by him as worthless
and less than nothing.
