49:1

ἀκούσατέ μου νῆσοι καὶ προσέχετε ἔθνη διὰ χρόνου πολλοῦ στήσεται λέγει κύριος ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομά μου

Hear me, O islands, and pay attention, O nations. After a long time it shall stand, says the Lord. From my mother's womb he called my name.

眾海島啊，要聽我；列國啊，要留心。過了許久，這事必要立定，主如此說。我在母腹中，他就題了我的名。

49:2

καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸ στόμα μου ὡσεὶ μάχαιραν ὀξεῖαν καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἔκρυψέν με ἔθηκέν με ὡς βέλος ἐκλεκτὸν καὶ ἐν τῇ φαρέτρᾳ αὐτοῦ ἐσκέπασέν με

And he made my mouth like a sharp sword, and under the shelter of his hand he hid me; he made me like a chosen arrow, and in his quiver he sheltered me.

他使我的口像快刀，將我藏在他手的蔭庇之下；他使我成為精選的箭，將我隱藏在他的箭袋中。

49:3

καὶ εἶπέν μοι δοῦλός μου εἶ σύ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐν σοὶ δοξασθήσομαι

And he said to me: You are my servant, Israel, and in you I will be glorified.

他對我說：以色列啊，你是我的僕人；我必在你身上得榮耀。

49:4

καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα κενῶς ἐκοπίασα καὶ εἰς μάταιον καὶ εἰς οὐδὲν ἔδωκα τὴν ἰσχύν μου διὰ τοῦτο ἡ κρίσις μου παρὰ κυρίῳ καὶ ὁ πόνος μου ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ μου

And I said: I have labored in vain; for emptiness and for nothing I have given my strength. Therefore my judgment is with the Lord, and my toil before my God.

我卻說：我勞碌是徒然的，我盡了力氣是虛空、是歸於無有。然而我當得的權益在主那裡，我的勞苦在我神面前。

49:5

καὶ νῦν οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ πλάσας με ἐκ κοιλίας δοῦλον ἑαυτῷ τοῦ συναγαγεῖν τὸν Ιακωβ καὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς αὐτόν συναχθήσομαι καὶ δοξασθήσομαι ἐναντίον κυρίου καὶ ὁ θεός μου ἔσται μου ἰσχύς

And now thus says the Lord who formed me from the womb to be his own servant, to gather Jacob and Israel to him: I shall be gathered and glorified before the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.

現在，那從腹中將我塑造成他僕人、使雅各歸向他、使以色列歸向他的主如此說：我必被聚集，也必在主面前得榮耀，我的神必作我的力量。

49:6

καὶ εἶπέν μοι μέγα σοί ἐστιν τοῦ κληθῆναί σε παῖδά μου τοῦ στῆσαι τὰς φυλὰς Ιακωβ καὶ τὴν διασπορὰν τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐπιστρέψαι ἰδοὺ τέθεικά σε εἰς διαθήκην γένους εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν τοῦ εἶναί σε εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς

And he said to me: It is a great thing for you to be called my servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to turn back the dispersion of Israel. Behold, I have made you a covenant of a race, a light of nations, that you may be for salvation to the end of the earth.

他對我說：你被稱為我的僕人，去立起雅各的眾支派、使以色列分散的人回轉，這在你是大事；看哪，我已立你作族類的約，作列國的光，使你施行救恩，直到地極。

49:7

οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ ῥυσάμενός σε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἁγιάσατε τὸν φαυλίζοντα τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ τὸν βδελυσσόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν δούλων τῶν ἀρχόντων βασιλεῖς ὄψονται αὐτὸν καὶ ἀναστήσονται ἄρχοντες καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτῷ ἕνεκεν κυρίου ὅτι πιστός ἐστιν ὁ ἅγιος Ισραηλ καὶ ἐξελεξάμην σε

Thus says the Lord who delivered you, the God of Israel: Sanctify the one who despises his own soul, the one abhorred by the nations, by the slaves of rulers. Kings shall see him, and rulers shall rise up and do obeisance to him, for the sake of the Lord; for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen you.

救贖你的、以色列的神、主如此說：你們要尊那藐視自己性命的為聖，就是那被列國、被掌權者的奴僕所憎惡的。君王必看見他，首領必起立向他下拜，都因主的緣故；因為以色列的聖者是信實的，我也揀選了你。

49:8

οὕτως λέγει κύριος καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι καὶ ἔδωκά σε εἰς διαθήκην ἐθνῶν τοῦ καταστῆσαι τὴν γῆν καὶ κληρονομῆσαι κληρονομίαν ἐρήμου

Thus says the Lord: In an acceptable time I heard you, and in a day of salvation I helped you; and I gave you as a covenant of nations, to establish the land and to inherit an inheritance of the desert,

主如此說：在悅納的時候，我應允了你；在拯救的日子，我幫助了你。我要將你賜給列國作約，使地得以建立，使那荒涼的產業得以承受；

49:9

λέγοντα τοῖς ἐν δεσμοῖς ἐξέλθατε καὶ τοῖς ἐν τῷ σκότει ἀνακαλυφθῆναι καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν βοσκηθήσονται καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς τρίβοις ἡ νομὴ αὐτῶν

saying to those in bonds: Come out; and to those in darkness: Be uncovered. And in all their ways they shall be pastured, and in all the paths shall be their pasture.

對那些被捆鎖的說：出來吧；對那些在黑暗中的說：顯露出來吧。他們必在一切道路上得餵養，在一切小徑上也有他們的草場。
