43:1 雅各阿,创造你的耶和华,以色列阿,造成你的那位,现在如此说,你不要害怕,因为我救赎了你。我曾题你的名召你,你是属我的。
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
43:2 你从水中经过,我必与你同在。你趟过江河,水必不漫过你。你从火中行过,必不被烧,火焰也不着在你身上。
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
43:3 因为我是耶和华你的神,是以色列的圣者你的救主。我已经使埃及作你的赎价,使古实和西巴代替你。
For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
43:4 因我看你为宝为尊,又因我爱你,所以我使人代替你,使列邦人替换你的生命。
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
43:5 不要害怕,因我与你同在。我必领你的后裔从东方来,又从西方招聚你。
Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
43:6 我要对北方说,交出来。对南方说,不要拘留。将我的众子从远方带来,将我的众女从地极领回,
I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
43:7 就是凡称为我名下的人,是我为自己的荣耀创造的,是我作成,所造作的。
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
43:8 你要将有眼而瞎,有耳而聋的民都带出来。
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
43:9 任凭万国聚集,任凭众民会合,其中谁能将此声明,并将先前的事说给我们听呢。他们可以带出见证来,自显为是,或者他们听见便说,这是真的。
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
43:10 耶和华说,你们是我的见证,我所拣选的仆人。既是这样,便可以知道,且信服我,又明白我就是耶和华,在我以前没有真神,(真原文作造作的)在我以后也必没有。
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
43:11 惟有我是耶和华,除我以外没有救主。
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
43:12 我曾指示,我曾拯救,我曾说明。并且在你们中间没有别神,所以耶和华说,你们是我的见证,我也是神。
I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.
43:13 自从有日子以来,我就是神。谁也不能救人脱离我手,我要行事,谁能阻止呢。
Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
