Listen, islands, to me. Listen, you peoples, from afar: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name.

眾海島啊，當聽我言！遠方的眾民哪，留心而聽！自我出胎，耶和華就選召我；自出母腹，他就提我的名。

ወረሰዩ፡ ለአፉየ፡ ከመ፡ መላጼ፡ በሊኀ፡ ወከደነኒ፡ ታሕተ፡ ጽላሎተ፡ እዴሁ።

He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

他使我的口如快刀，將我藏在他手蔭之下；又使我成為磨亮的箭，將我藏在他箭袋之中；

49:3

But I said, “I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength in vain for nothing; yet surely the justice due to me is with Yahweh, and my reward with my God.”

我卻說：我勞碌是徒然；我盡力是虛無虛空。然而，我當得的理必在耶和華那裏；我的賞賜必在我上帝那裏。

49:5

ወይእዜኒ፡ ከመዝ፡ ይቤ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ዘፈጠረኒ፡ በውስተ፡ ከርሠ፡ እምየ፡ ከመ፡ እኩን፡ ገብሮ፣፡ ከመ፡ አስተጋብኦ፡ ለያዕቆብ፡ ኀቤሁ፡ ወለእስራኤልኒ።

Now Yahweh, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, says to bring Jacob again to him, and to gather Israel to him, for I am honorable in Yahweh’s eyes, and my God has become my strength.

耶和華從我出胎，造就我作他的僕人，要使雅各歸向他，使以色列到他那裏聚集。原來耶和華看我為尊貴；我的上帝也成為我的力量。

ወይቤለኒ፤ ዓቢይ፡ ለከ፡ ውእቱ፡ ዝንቱ፡ ከመ፡ ትሰመይ፡ ቍልዔየ፣፡ ከመ፡ ታቅም፡ ሕዝበ፡ ያዕቆብ፡ ወዝርወተ፡ እስራኤል፡ ከመ፡ ትሚጦሙ።

Indeed, he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”

現在他說：你作我的僕人，使雅各眾支派復興，使以色列中得保全的歸回尚為小事，我還要使你作外邦人的光，叫你施行我的救恩，直到地極。

ከመዝ፡ ይቤ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ዘአድኀነከ፡ አምላከ፡ እስራኤል፤ ቀድስዎ፡ ለዘያሐምማ፡ ለነፍሱ፡ ዘያስተራኵስዎ፡ አሕዛብ፡ ለገብረ፡ መላእክት።

Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

救贖主－以色列的聖者耶和華對那被人所藐視、本國所憎惡、官長所虐待的如此說：君王要看見就站起，首領也要下拜；都因信實的耶和華，就是揀選你－以色列的聖者。

Yahweh says, “I have answered you in an acceptable time. I have helped you in a day of salvation. I will preserve you and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage,

對那被捆綁的人說：出來吧！對那在黑暗的人說：顯露吧！他們在路上必得飲食，在一切淨光的高處必有食物。
