Isaiah 以赛亚书45

（单词翻译）

45"This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue¹ nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
2I will go before you and will level the mountains ; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron.
3I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord , the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
4For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen, I summon you by name and bestow² on you a title of honor, though you do not acknowledge me.
5I am the Lord , and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me,
6so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord , and there is no other.
7I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord , do all these things.
8"You heavens above, rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation³ spring up, let righteousness grow with it; I, the Lord , have created it.
9"Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker⁴, to him who is but a potsherd among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, 'What are you making?' Does your work say, 'He has no hands'?
10Woe to him who says to his father, 'What have you begotten⁵?' or to his mother, 'What have you brought to birth?'
11"This is what the Lord says- the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?
12It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry⁶ hosts.
13I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, says the Lord Almighty⁷."
14This is what the Lord says: "The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, and those tall Sabeans- they will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge⁸ behind you, coming over to you in chains. They will bow down before you and plead with you, saying, 'Surely God is with you, and there is no other; there is no other god.' "
15Truly you are a God who hides himself, O God and Savior of Israel.
16All the makers⁹ of idols¹⁰ will be put to shame and disgraced; they will go off into disgrace together.
17But Israel will be saved by the Lord with an everlasting¹¹ salvation; you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting.
18For this is what the Lord says- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited- he says: "I am the Lord , and there is no other.
19I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain.' I, the Lord , speak the truth; I declare what is right.
20"Gather together and come; assemble, you fugitives¹² from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood, who pray to gods that cannot save.
21Declare what is to be, present it- let them take counsel together. Who foretold¹³ this long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the Lord ? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me.
22"Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked¹⁴: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.
24They will say of me, 'In the Lord alone are righteousness and strength.' " All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame.
25But in the Lord all the descendants of Israel will be found righteous and will exult¹⁵.
