Isaiah 1 1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are upon beasts and cattle; They must be borne up on shoulders, carried as burdens by the weary. 贝耳塌下了，乃波倾倒了，他们的神像，负在走兽和牲口身上；他们的重载，重压着筋疲的畜类。 2 They stoop and bow down together; unable to save those who bear them, they too go into captivity. 3 Hear me, O house of Jacob, all who remain of the house of 雅各伯家啊！以色列家所有的遗民啊！请你们听我：自出母胎我就抱着你，自离母腹我就怀着你； 4 Even to your old age I am the same, even when your hair is gray I will bear you; It is I who have done this, I who will continue, and I who will carry you to safety. 直到你年老，我仍是一样；直到你白头，我依然扶持你。我既然如此做了，我必要提携你，扶持你，拯救你。 5 Whom would you compare me with, as an equal, or match me against, as though we were alike? 你们拿我同谁比拟，与谁相等，跟谁比较，以求我们相同呢？ 6 There are those who pour out gold from a purse and weigh out silver on the scales; Then they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god before which they fall down in worship. 有些人从钱囊中把金子倒出，放银子在天平上衡量；以后雇了一个金匠，制造了一个神像，遂向它屈膝朝拜； 7 They lift it to their shoulders to carry; when they set it in place again, it stays, and does not move from the spot. Although they cry out to it, it cannot answer; it delivers no one from distress. 又将神像抬起，放在肩上扛着，以后安置在一个地方，它就立在那里，再不能离开那地方；人呼求它，它也不答应，也不能救人脱离灾殃。 8 Remember this and be firm, bear it well in mind, you rebels; remember the former things, those long ago: 你们应记住这事，应站稳！叛逆的人啊！你们应记在心头！你们应追忆以前古时所发生的事， 9 I am God, there is no other; I am God, there is none like me. 因为我是天主，没有另一个；我是天主，没有与我相似的， 10 At the beginning I foretell the outcome; in advance, things not yet done. I say that my plan shall stand, I accomplish my every purpose. 我从起初就预言了末后的事，早就宣布了未来的事；我如今说：“我的计划必要成功，我的旨意都要实现；” 11 2 I call from the east a bird of prey, from a distant land, one to carry out my plan. Yes, I have spoken, I will accomplish it; I have planned it, and I will do it. 我要把老鹰从东方召来，把履行我计划的人由远方叫来；我说了，必要去行；我决定了，必要去做， 12 Listen to me, you fainthearted, you who seem far from the victory of justice: 13 I am bringing on my justice, it is not far off, my salvation shall not tarry; I will put salvation within 我的正义来近了，已不远了，我的救恩不在延迟；我必在熙用雍与救恩，把我的光荣赐给以色列。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [1] Bel . . .
