43:1 雅各阿,創造你的耶和華,以色列阿,造成你的那位,現在如此說,你不要害怕,因爲我救贖了你。我曾題你的名召你,你是屬我的。
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 你從水中經過,我必與你同在。你趟過江河,水必不漫過你。你從火中行過,必不被燒,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 因爲我是耶和華你的神,是以色列的聖者你的救主。我已經使埃及作你的贖價,使古實和西巴代替你。
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 因我看你爲寶爲尊,又因我愛你,所以我使人代替你,使列邦人替換你的生命。
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,因我與你同在。我必領你的後裔從東方來,又從西方招聚你。
Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
43:6 我要對北方說,交出來。對南方說,不要拘留。將我的衆子從遠方帶來,將我的衆女從地極領回,
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 就是凡稱爲我名下的人,是我爲自己的榮耀創造的,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 你要將有眼而瞎,有耳而聾的民都帶出來。
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
43:9 任憑萬國聚集,任憑衆民會合,其中誰能將此聲明,並將先前的事說給我們聽呢。他們可以帶出見證來,自顯爲是,或者他們聽見便說,這是真的。
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 耶和華說,你們是我的見證,我所揀選的僕人。既是這樣,便可以知道,且信服我,又明白我就是耶和華,在我以前沒有真神,(真原文作造作的)在我以後也必沒有。
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 惟有我是耶和華,除我以外沒有救主。
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
43:12 我曾指示,我曾拯救,我曾說明。並且在你們中間沒有別神,所以耶和華說,你們是我的見證,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 自從有日子以來,我就是神。誰也不能救人脫離我手,我要行事,誰能阻止呢。
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?
