以赛亚书49：1～7
外邦之光
1 众海岛啊，当听我言！
远方的众民哪，留心而听！
自我出胎，耶和华就选召我；
自出母腹，他就提我的名。
2 他使我的口如快刀，
将我藏在他手荫之下；
又使我成为磨亮的箭，
将我藏在他箭袋之中；
3 对我说：你是我的仆人以色列；
我必因你得荣耀。
4 我却说：我劳碌是徒然；
我尽力是虚无虚空。
然而，我当得的理必在耶和华那里；
我的赏赐必在我 神那里。
5 耶和华从我出胎，造就我作他的仆人，
要使雅各归向他，
使以色列到他那里聚集。
原来耶和华看我为尊贵；
我的 神也成为我的力量。
6 现在他说：你作我的仆人，
使雅各众支派复兴，
使以色列中得保全的归回尚为小事，
我还要使你作外邦人的光，
叫你施行我的救恩，直到地极。
7 救赎主－以色列的圣者耶和华
对那被人所藐视、本国所憎恶、
官长所虐待的如此说：
君王要看见就站起，
首领也要下拜；
都因信实的耶和华，
就是拣选你－以色列的圣者。
The Servant of the Lord
1 Listen to me, you islands;
hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born the Lord called me;
from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.
2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword,
in the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me into a polished arrow
and concealed me in his quiver.
3 He said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.”
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain;
I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand,
and my reward is with my God.”
5 And now the Lord says—
he who formed me in the womb to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
and gather Israel to himself,
for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord
and my God has been my strength—
6 he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.
I will also make you a light for the Gentiles,
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”
7 This is what the Lord says—
the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel—
to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation,
to the servant of rulers:
“Kings will see you and stand up,
princes will see and bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
