以赛亚书第44章

《圣经》以赛亚书-第44章

赛44:1 我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的以色列啊，现在你当听。 (串)本章21赛41:8耶30:10;46:27,28

†[吕]“但现在呢，我的仆人雅各阿，我所拣选的以色列阿，你要听！

†[思]但是现在，我的仆人雅各伯！我所拣选的以色列！你听罢！

†[当代]“我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的以色列啊，你要留心倾听：

†[新译]“但现在，我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的以色列啊！你要听。

†[Wlb]我仆雅各、我所选之以色列欤、今其听之、

†[Xdv]上主说：听啊，我的仆人以色列，听啊，我的选民，雅各的子孙。

†[Kjv]Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

†[Nkjv]"Yet hear me now, O Jacob My servant, And Israel whom I have chosen.

†[BBE]And now, give ear, O Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself:

†[GNT] The Lord says, "Listen now, Israel, my servant, my chosen people, the descendants of Jacob.

†[NIV]But now listen, O Jacob, my servant, Israel, whom I have chosen.

本会注释　　见@赛43:10@注释。上帝在斥责了祂子民的罪孽之后（赛43:22-28），现在对他们说安慰和鼓励的话。祂提醒他们：祂选择了他们，爱他们，怜悯他们，并且拯救他们。

赛44:2 造做你，又从你出胎造就你，并要帮助你的耶和华如此说：我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的耶书仑哪，不要害怕！ (串)赛43:1,7|申32:15

†[吕]那制作了你、那从你母腹就形成了你、又要帮助你的、永恒主这么说：我的仆人雅各阿，我所拣选的耶书崙哪，不要惧怕！

†[思]那造成你，从母胎形成你，且协助你的上主这样说：“我的仆人雅各伯！我所拣选的耶叔戎，你不要害怕！

†[当代]那位造你，在母胎的时候就造就你，帮助你的主说：‘我的仆人雅各，我所拣选的耶书仑啊，你不用害怕。

†[新译]那创造你，从母胎里就塑造了你，又要帮助你的耶和华这样说：我的仆人雅各啊！我所拣选的耶书仑啊！你不要惧怕。

†[Wlb]肇造尔、自胎甄陶尔、辅助尔之耶和华云、我仆雅各、我所选之耶书仑欤、勿惧、

†[Xdv]我是创造你的上主，从你出世，我就帮助你。不要怕，你是我的仆人；你是我所钟爱的选民。

†[Kjv]Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

†[Nkjv]Thus says the LORD who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you: "Fear not, O Jacob My servant; And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

†[BBE]The Lord who made you, forming you in your mother's body, the Lord, your helper, says, Have no fear, O Jacob my servant, and you, Jeshurun, whom I have taken for myself.

†[GNT] I am the Lord who created you; from the time you were born, I have helped you. Do not be afraid; you are my servant, my chosen people whom I love.

†[NIV]This is what the Lord says- he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

本会注释　　耶书仑。在诗歌中代表，意思是“正义者”（见@申32:15@注释）。上帝提醒以色列，祂拣选她是要她成为“圣洁的国民”，听祂的话（出19:5,6）。

赛44:3 因为我要将水浇灌口渴的人，将河浇灌干旱之地。我要将我的灵浇灌你的后裔，将我的福浇灌你的子孙。 (串)赛35:7珥2:28约7:38

†[吕]因为我必将水浇灌乾渴之处，将河流灌溉乾旱之地；我必将我的灵浇灌你的后裔，将我的祝福倒给你出的子孙。

†[思]因为我要把水倒在乾地上，使豪雨落在旱陆上；我要把我的神倾住在你的苗裔身上，把我的祝福降在你的子孙身上。

†[当代]我要把水倾倒在口渴的人身上，使河流滋润干旱的土地。我要用我的灵浇灌你的后裔，使我的福泽临到你的子孙。

†[新译]因为我要把水浇灌干渴之处，把河水浇灌干旱之地；我必把我的灵浇灌你的后裔，把我的福降给你的子孙。

†[Wlb]盖我必注水于渴者、浚川于燥土、注我神于尔苗裔、降福祉于尔子孙、

†[Xdv]我要降甘霖给干旱的土地，要使沙漠涌流清泉。我要赐力量给你的儿女，要赐福给你的子孙。

†[Kjv]For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

†[Nkjv]For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, And floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring;

†[BBE]For I will send water on the land needing it, and streams on the dry earth: I will let my spirit come down on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring.

†[GNT] "I will give water to the thirsty land and make streams flow on the dry ground. I will pour out my spirit on your children and my blessing on your descendants.

†[NIV]For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

本会注释　　口渴的人。或“干渴之地”。本节第一部份是比喻，第二部份是解释，把上帝圣灵的浇灌比作清新的阵雨（珥2:23,28,29）。“口渴的”指那些渴求上帝与祂的公义的人（诗42:1,2；太5:6；约4:13,14）。

赛44:4 他们要发生在草中，象溪水旁的柳树。

†[吕]他们必发生像水间的草（传统：必发生在草之间），像流水旁的杨柳树。

†[思]他们要生长，有如水边的青草，又如溪畔的杨柳。

†[当代]他们的滋长就像水边的青草，溪旁的杨柳。’

†[新译]他们要像从草中生长起来，又像溪水旁的柳树。

†[Wlb]彼将滋生于草中、若溪滨之柳、

†[Xdv]他们要滋长像水边的青草，繁茂像河畔的杨柳。

†[Kjv]And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

†[Nkjv]They will spring up among the grass Like willows by the watercourses.'

†[BBE]And they will come up like grass in a well-watered field, like water-plants by the streams.

†[GNT] They will thrive like well-watered grass, like willows by streams of running water.

†[NIV]They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams.

本会注释　　受到上帝圣灵浇灌的百姓将繁荣昌盛，像溪水旁边的树木（见诗1:3；耶17:8；结47:12）。

赛44:5 这个要说：我是属耶和华的；那个要以雅各的名自称；又一个要亲手写：归耶和华的（或作：在手上写归耶和华），并自称为以色列。

†[吕]这个必说：“我属于永恒主”；那个必以雅各这名字自己称呼；又一个必将‘归永恒主’写在自己手上，并将以色列这名字作为自己的头衔。”

†[思]这个说：“我是上主的，”那个要起雅各伯的名字，另一个要在手上写：“属于上主，”并要起以色列的名号。

†[当代]那时，这个说：‘我是属于上帝的’；那个说：‘我是以色列人’；更有人在手上写上这样的字：‘我是属于上帝的’，他们都以身为以色列人为荣耀。”

†[新译]这个必说：‘我是属耶和华的’；那个也必以雅各的名称呼自己；另一个必亲手写上‘我是属耶和华的’，并且要以以色列的名字替自己命名。”

†[Wlb]将有人曰、我属耶和华、有以雅各之名自称、有手书归耶和华、自称为以色列、

†[Xdv]人人要说：我属于上主；他们要加入以色列的队伍。人人要在手臂上刺着上主的名号，他们要参加雅各的行列。

†[Kjv]One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

†[Nkjv]One will say, "I am the LORD's'; Another will call himself by the name of Jacob; Another will write with his hand, "The LORD's,' And name himself by the name of Israel.

†[BBE]One will say, I am the Lord's; and another will give himself the name, Jacob; another will put a mark on his hand, I am the Lord's, and another will take the name of Israel for himself.

†[GNT] "One by one, people will say, "I am the Lord's.' They will come to join the people of Israel. They each will mark the name of the Lord on their arms and call themselves one of God's people."

†[NIV]One will say, 'I belong to the Lord '; another will call himself by the name of Jacob; still another will write on his hand, 'The Lord 's,' and will take the name Israel.

赛44:6 耶和华以色列的君，以色列的救赎主万军之耶和华如此说：我是首先的，我是末后的；除我以外再没有真神。 (串)本章24赛43:1,14|赛41:4;48:12启1:17

†[吕]永恒主以色列的王、那赎回以色列的、万军之永恒主、这么说：“我是起始，我是末终；我以外、再没有真神。

†[思]上主，以色列的君王，救主，万军的上主这样说：“我是元始，我是终末，在我以外没有别的神。

†[当代]以色列的上帝──以色列的君王和救赎主──万军之主说：“我是始源也是终结，除了我以外再没有真神。

†[新译]耶和华以色列的王、以色列的救赎主、万军之耶和华这样说：“我是首先的，我是末后的；除我以外，再没有真神。

†[Wlb]万军之耶和华、赎以色列而为其王者云、始我也、终亦我也、我外别无上帝、

†[Xdv]上主──以色列的君王，万军的统帅──救赎主这样说：我是开始，我是终结；我以外没有上帝。

†[Kjv]Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

†[Nkjv]"Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: "I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.

†[BBE]The Lord, the King of Israel, even the Lord of armies who has taken up his cause, says, I am the first and the last, and there is no God but me.

†[GNT] The Lord, who rules and protects Israel, the Lord Almighty, has this to say: "I am the first, the last, the only God; there is no other god but me.

†[NIV]This is what the Lord says- Israel's King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.

本会注释　　这里描述了上帝的一些显著特征：一，祂是主耶和华。二，祂是以色列的君。三，祂是以色列的救赎主。四，祂是天军的统帅。五，祂是永恒的，是“首先的”和“末后的”。六，祂是独一的真神。在第9-20节里，以赛亚把上帝与偶像进行对照。

赛44:7 自从我设立古时的民，谁能象我宣告，并且指明，又为自己陈说呢？让他将未来的事和必成的事说明。 (串)赛41:4;45:21

†[吕]谁能像我？让他宣告出来；让他在我面前辩诉陈明；谁曾老早就把未来的事先说给人听（传统：自从我安置古时的人民和将来的事）阿？让他把将要来的事告诉我们（传统：他们）吧。

†[思]谁相似我？让他前来伸述，让他说明，给我拿出证据来！谁能从永远预言未来的事，请他告诉我们快要发生的事罢！

†[当代]谁能与我相比呢？让他宣扬出来吧。让他把我设立这古国以来所发生的事按次序向我陈明，也请他把将来的事和快要发生的事讲出来吧。

†[新译]谁像我呢？让他宣告，让他述说，又在我面前陈明吧！自从我设立古时的子民，未来的事和将要发生的事，让他们把它们述说出来吧！

†[Wlb]自我肇造上古之民以来、谁能如我宣布之、预言之、陈述之、至于未来之事、必成之事、任其指示之、

†[Xdv]谁能跟我相比，让他提出证据！谁能做我做过的事？谁能预言将来的事？让他把要发生的事宣布出来！

†[Kjv]And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

†[Nkjv]And who can proclaim as I do? Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me, Since I appointed the ancient people. And the things that are coming and shall come, Let them show these to them.

†[BBE]If there is one like me, let him come forward and say it, let him make it clear and put it in order before me: who has made clear in the past the things to come? let him make clear the future to me.

†[GNT] Could anyone else have done what I did? Who could have predicted all that would happen from the very beginning to the end of time?

†[NIV]Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and lay out before me what has happened since I established my ancient people, and what is yet to come- yes, let him foretell what will come.

本会注释　　谁能像我？是上帝安排和处理地上的事务。祂洞悉过去的事，并宣告将来的事。是祂指定以色列作为一个公义和永恒的民族。这一切都证明祂是真神；偶像做不到祂所所做的事情（见@赛41:4,21-26@注释）。
　　自从我设立。英RSV版为 “谁能宣告从以前到将来的事？”但意思是一样的。

赛44:8 你们不要恐惧，也不要害怕。我岂不是从上古就说明指示你们吗？并且你们是我的见证！除我以外，岂有真神吗？诚然没有磐石，我不知道一个！ (串)赛41:22|赛43:10,12|申4:35,39撒上2:2撒下22:32

†[吕]你们不要恐惧，不要惧怕我不是从上古就说给你听，就告诉了你了么？你们就是我的见证！我以外哪有真神呢？实在没有磐石；我不知道有呀。”

†[思]你们不必惊慌，不用害怕！我不是早已告诉过你，早已宣布了吗？你们是我的证人，在我以外还有别的神吗？决没有别的磐石！我一个也不认识！”

†[当代]不要惊惶！不要惧怕！我不是早已经对你们说过，除了我以外再没有真神，也没有其他可靠的磐石吗？事实上，一个也没有，你们就是我的证人。”

†[新译]你们不要惊惶，也不要惧怕。我不是老早就说了给你们听，告诉了你们吗？你们就是我的见证人。除我以外，还有真神吗？没有别的磐石；我一个也不知道。”

†[Wlb]尔勿畏葸、勿惊惶、我岂非自古宣示尔乎、尔为我证、我外岂有上帝乎、无有磐石、我不知其他也、

†[Xdv]我的子民哪，不要惊慌害怕！我不是早已把古今的事都预言了吗？你们就是我的证人。我以外，还有别的上帝吗？还有其它大能力的神我没有听见过吗？

†[Kjv]Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

†[Nkjv]Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one."'

†[BBE]Have no fear, be strong in heart; have I not made it clear to you in the past, and let you see it? and you are my witnesses. Is there any God but me, or a Rock of whom I have no knowledge?

†[GNT] Do not be afraid, my people! You know that from ancient times until now I have predicted all that would happen, and you are my witnesses. Is there any other god? Is there some powerful god I never heard of?"

†[NIV]Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one."

本会注释　　你们不要恐惧。见@赛41:10@注释。
　　岂有真神吗？直译是”没有磐石”。希伯来语原文是sur。在圣经里通常指上帝，象征祂的忍耐和力量（见申32:4；撒下22:3；23:3；诗18:2；参赛26:4）。以色列有上帝作为他们的力量和保护，就无所可畏惧。

赛44:9 制造雕刻偶像的尽都虚空；他们所喜悦的都无益处；他们的见证无所看见，无所知晓，他们便觉羞愧。 (串)赛41:24,29|诗115:4,5

†[吕]制造雕像的尽都虚空；他们所喜爱的都没有用处；他们的见证人毫无所见，毫无所知，以致自己失望。

†[思]制造偶像的人都是虚无，他们所喜爱的，也毫无用处；他们的见证人一无所见，毫无所知，必将蒙受耻辱。

†[当代]制造神像的是多么愚昧啊！他们所宝贝的雕像既不能说话，也不能看见，这些神像对他们没有一点益处，他们的见证人也是什么也看不见，怪不得他们都落在羞愧之中。

†[新译]制造偶像的人，尽都是虚空的，他们所喜爱的，都没有益处。他们的见证人，一无所见，一无所知，以致他们蒙羞。

†[Wlb]造雕像者、悉为虚妄、其所悦者无益、彼之证者不见不知、必致愧怍、

†[Xdv]雕塑偶像的人都是无用之辈；他们认为无价之宝的偶像一点儿价值都没有。崇拜那些神明的人盲目无知；他们必然蒙羞。

†[Kjv]They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

†[Nkjv]Those who make an image, all of them are useless, And their precious things shall not profit; They are their own witnesses; They neither see nor know, that they may be ashamed.

†[BBE]Those who make a pictured image are all of them as nothing, and the things of their desire will be of no profit to them: and their servants see not, and have no knowledge; so they will be put to shame.

†[GNT] All those who make idols are worthless, and the gods they prize so highly are useless. Those who worship these gods are blind and ignorant - and they will be disgraced.

†[NIV]All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.

本会注释　　虚空。希伯来语是tohu。见@创1:2@；@赛41:29@注释。
　　他们所喜悦的。特别是与偶像崇拜有关的事物。
　　他们的见证。盲目而无知觉的偶像竭力为它们所看不见也不知道的事作见证。

赛44:10 谁制造神像，铸造无益的偶像？ (串)耶10:5哈2:18

†[吕]谁制造神像，铸造无用的雕像呢？

†[思]有谁制造神像或铸偶像，不想得利呢？

†[当代]谁制造神像？谁雕刻这些一无是处的神像呢？

†[新译]谁制造神像，或铸造偶像，不想得到益处呢？

†[Wlb]谁造神像、或铸无益之偶、

†[Xdv]铸造金属偶像来崇拜是没有意义的！

†[Kjv]Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?

†[Nkjv]Who would form a god or mold an image That profits him nothing?

†[BBE]Whoever makes a god, makes nothing but a metal image in which there is no profit.

†[GNT] It does no good to make a metal image to worship as a god!

†[NIV]Who shapes a god and casts an idol, which can profit him nothing?

赛44:11 看哪，他的同伴都必羞愧。工匠也不过是人，任他们聚会，任他们站立，都必惧怕，一同羞愧。 (串)诗97:7赛1:29;42:17

†[吕]看哪，所有依附着它、的人都必失望，制作它、的匠人极为狼狈（传统：匠人们不过是人）；他们尽管集合拢来，尽管挺身而立，都必觉得恐惧、一概失望。

†[思]看哪！凡作他夥伴的，都要蒙受耻辱，因为制造偶像的，也只是人而已！让他们集合起来一同前来罢！他们必要惊慌羞愧！

†[当代]工匠不过是人，却以为自己能造出神来。看哪！他们的夥伴都羞愧不已，就让他们一起站著战兢羞愧吧。

†[新译]看哪！所有与它同伙的都必蒙羞；工匠也不过是人罢了。让他们都集合起来，都站立起来；让他们都惧怕，都一同蒙羞。

†[Wlb]凡宗之者、咸生愧赧、造之之工、世人而已、任其聚会、屹立于此、必同战栗、而惭恧焉、

†[Xdv]崇拜偶像的人总有蒙受耻辱的一天。造偶像的也是人，并不比别人高明。让他们都来，在我面前对质；他们都要惊慌羞愧了。

†[Kjv]Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.

†[Nkjv]Surely all his companions would be ashamed; And the workmen, they are mere men. Let them all be gathered together, Let them stand up; Yet they shall fear, They shall be ashamed together.

†[BBE]Truly, all those who make use of secret arts will be put to shame, and their words of power are only words of men: let them all come forward together; they will all be in fear and be put to shame.

†[GNT] Everyone who worships it will be humiliated. The people who make idols are human beings and nothing more. Let them come and stand trial - they will be terrified and will suffer disgrace.

†[NIV]He and his kind will be put to shame; craftsmen are nothing but men. Let them all come together and take their stand; they will be brought down to terror and infamy.

赛44:12 铁匠把铁在火炭中烧热，用槌打铁器，用他有力的膀臂锤成；他饥饿而无力，不喝水而发倦。 (串)赛40:19耶10:3

†[吕]鉄匠雕造（传统：斧头）了偶像，在火炭中加工，用锤子制造它、用他大力的膀臂给它加工，他竟饥饿而没有力量，他没有喝水而困倦疲乏。

†[思]铁匠先在炭火上工作，再用子打成偶像，他用大力的手臂工作，当饿时，也就没有力量；没有水喝，他就疲劳不堪。

†[当代]铁匠把铁块放在火里烧，用他强壮的膀臂挥动铁锤把它打成斧头；然而，他因饥饿而无力，因口渴而疲乏。

†[新译]铁匠先用工具在铁上雕刻，然后在火炭中加工，再用锤子把铁锤成形状，用他有力的膀臂锤成。他若饥饿，就没有力量；他若不喝水，就疲乏。

†[Wlb]铁工炽炭锻之、以锤治之、竭一臂之力、而制造之、饥而疲乏、渴而困惫、

†[Xdv]铁匠拿了一块金属放在火上烧，然后用强壮的膀臂挥动锤子，把金属锤炼成形。铁匠饿了就没有力气；没有水喝，渴了就疲劳困倦。

†[Kjv]The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.

†[Nkjv]The blacksmith with the tongs works one in the coals, Fashions it with hammers, And works it with the strength of his arms. Even so, he is hungry, and his strength fails; He drinks no water and is faint.

†[BBE]The iron-worker is heating the metal in the fire, giving it form with his hammers, and working on it with his strong arm: then for need of food his strength gives way, and for need of water he becomes feeble.

†[GNT] The metalworker takes a piece of metal and works with it over a fire. His strong arm swings a hammer to pound the metal into shape. As he works, he gets hungry, thirsty, and tired.

†[NIV]The blacksmith takes a tool and works with it in the coals; he shapes an idol with hammers, he forges it with the might of his arm. He gets hungry and loses his strength; he drinks no water and grows faint.

赛44:13 木匠拉线，用笔划出样子，用刨子刨成形状，用圆尺划了模样，仿照人的体态，做成人形，好住在房屋中。

†[吕]木匠拉线，用笔画出样子，用炮子炮平它，用弯尺画出样子，作成人的模形，有人类的俊美，好住在庙中。

†[思]木匠伸展绳墨，用笔划线，后拿刨子刨平，再用圆规测量，做成一个人形，具有人的美丽，好供在庙。

†[当代]木匠用那斧头制造神像，他用线量度，用笔勾出形状，仿照人的体态用刨子和圆规造成人一般样子的神像，放在屋子里。

†[新译]木匠拉线，用笔画出轮廓，用刨子刨平，用圆规画出模样，做成人的形状，有人一般的美丽，好住在庙里。

†[Wlb]木工布绳、画之以笔、治之以铴、正之以规、象人之形、犹人之美、处之于室、

†[Xdv]木匠量好木料，用墨斗画线，用各种工具雕刻，做成人的形像，维妙维肖，供在庙宇里。

†[Kjv]The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.

†[Nkjv]The craftsman stretches out his rule, He marks one out with chalk; He fashions it with a plane, He marks it out with the compass, And makes it like the figure of a man, According to the beauty of a man, that it may remain in the house.

†[BBE]The woodworker is measuring out the wood with his line, marking it out with his pencil: after smoothing it with his plane, and making circles on it with his instrument, he gives it the form and glory of a man, so that it may be placed in the house.

†[GNT] The carpenter measures the wood. He outlines a figure with chalk, carves it out with his tools, and makes it in the form of a man, a handsome human figure, to be placed in his house.

†[NIV]The carpenter measures with a line and makes an outline with a marker; he roughs it out with chisels and marks it with compasses. He shapes it in the form of man, of man in all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine.

赛44:14 他砍伐香柏树，又取柞（或作：青桐）树和橡树，在树林中选定了一棵。他栽种松树，得雨长养。

†[吕]他自己砍伐香柏树，又是选取冬青檞或橡树，让它在树林中茁壮起来，或是栽种松树，让雨水使它长大。

†[思]人先去砍伐一块香柏，或取一块榆木，或橡木；或在树林中选一块坚固的木料，或自己种植一棵月桂树，让雨水使之长大。

†[当代]他为自己砍伐香柏木，又选取柏木和橡木；他在林中栽种一棵健壮的松树，松树得著雨水的滋养，便生长起来。

†[新译]他为自己砍伐香柏树，或选取榆树和橡树，让它在树林中长起来；他栽种松树，让雨水使它长大。

†[Wlb]更伐香柏、亦取橡栎、皆林木之坚者、或植杉木、得雨露之养、

†[Xdv]他也许锯了香柏树，或采用森林中的橡树或桧树。他也可能种了松树，等待雨水使它长大。

†[Kjv]He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.

†[Nkjv]He cuts down cedars for himself, And takes the cypress and the oak; He secures it for himself among the trees of the forest. He plants a pine, and the rain nourishes it.

†[BBE]He has cedars cut down for himself, he takes an oak and lets it get strong among the trees of the wood; he has an ash-tree planted, and the rain gives it growth.

†[GNT] He might cut down cedars to use, or choose oak or cypress wood from the forest. Or he might plant a laurel tree and wait for the rain to make it grow.

†[NIV]He cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest, or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow.

本会注释　　人可以种下能够萌芽的种子，但只有上帝能使它生长。如果没有上帝的能力，就没有雕刻偶像的树木。

赛44:15 这树，人可用以烧火；他自己取些烤火，又烧着烤饼，而且做神像跪拜，做雕刻的偶像向他叩拜。

†[BBE]Then it will be used to make a fire, so that a man may get warm; he has the oven heated with it and makes bread: he makes a god with it, to which he gives worship: he makes a pictured image out of it, and goes down on his face before it.

†[GNT] A person uses part of a tree for fuel and part of it for making an idol. With one part he builds a fire to warm himself and bake bread; with the other part he makes a god and worships it.

†[NIV]It is man's fuel for burning; some of it he takes and warms himself, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. But he also fashions a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.

本会注释　　树木用作柴火或制作偶像，都是出于偶然。

†[新译]他把木头的一半放在火里燃烧；在上面烤肉；吃了烤肉，并且吃饱了，就自己烤火取暖，说：“哈哈！我暖和了，我看见火了。”

†[Wlb]半以燃火、半以炙肉、食之果腹、复暖其身、曰、噫、我既温暖、亦既观火、

†[Xdv]他可以把树木当作柴烧，在上面烤肉吃，吃得饱饱的。他也可以烧木头取暖，说：“这火好极了，十分暖和！”

†[NIV]Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal, he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says, "Ah! I am warm; I see the fire."

本会注释　　他把一分烧在火中。把人的力量可以摧毁的物体当作神是愚蠢的。
　　烤肉。死海古卷1Qisa为“他坐在他的木炭上”。

赛44:17 他用剩下的做了一神，就是雕刻的偶像。他向这偶像俯伏叩拜，祷告他说：“求你拯救我，因你是我的神。”

†[吕]其剩下的他竟作了一座神像，就是雕像，而向它叩拜，向它敬拜，祷告说：“援救我吧，因为你是我的神！”

†[BBE]And the rest of it he makes into a god, even his pictured image: he goes down on his face before it, giving worship to it, and making prayer to it, saying, Be my saviour; for you are my god.

†[GNT] The rest of the wood he makes into an idol, and then he bows down and worships it. He prays to it and says, "You are my god - save me!"

†[NIV]From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships. He prays to it and says, "Save me; you are my god."

本会注释　　木材如果用来燃烧而不是崇拜，它是无法救自己免遭烧毁的。把大部分的木材用当燃料，剩下一部分制作偶像，指望它有能力和智慧救他们的命，这是多么愚蠢啊！

赛44:18 他们不知道，也不思想；因为耶和华闭住他们的眼，不能看见，塞住他们的心，不能明白。 (串)赛45:20|帖后2:11

†[Nkjv]They do not know nor understand; For He has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, And their hearts, so that they cannot understand.

†[BBE]They have no knowledge or wisdom; for he has put a veil over their eyes, so that they may not see; and on their hearts, so that they may not give attention.

†[GNT] Such people are too stupid to know what they are doing. They close their eyes and their minds to the truth.

†[NIV]They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand.

本会注释　　他们不知道。拜偶像的人是无知的。他们愚蠢的心是昏暗的。虽然他们自以为聪明，实际上是很愚蠢的（罗1:21-23）。
　　闭住他们的眼。见@赛6:9,10@注释。

赛44:19 谁心里也不醒悟，也没有知识，没有聪明，能说：“我曾拿一分在火中烧了，在炭火上烤过饼；我也烤过肉吃。这剩下的，我岂要作可憎的物吗？我岂可向木不子叩拜呢？” (串)赛46:8

†[吕]没有一个人心里回悟过来，也没有一个有知识有聪明能够说：‘木头的一半我已经烧在火中，我也曾在其炭火上烤过饼，烤过肉吃；难道其剩下的我还要作一座可厌恶之像！我还要向树木头叩拜！’

†[思]也不回心想一下，也不会明智通达地说：“一半木头我已投入火中烧了，并在火炭上烤了面包，烤了肉吃；我竟将剩下的一半作了一个怪物，向这块木头敬拜。”

†[当代]没有人醒悟，也没有人懂得说：“木头的一半我放在火里烧了，用作炭来烤饼，烤肉作食物，我怎能把剩下的一半拿来制造主所憎厌的神像呢？我怎么可以在一块木头面前下拜呢？”

†[新译]没有人细心思想，也没有人有知识有聪明说：“我把木头的一半放在火里燃烧，我也在炭火上烘过饼，烤过肉吃，剩下的，我却用来做了一个可憎之物，我要向木头叩拜吗？”

†[Wlb]无人想念、无知识、无聪明、不云材木之半、我已焚之以火、烘饼于炭、半以炙肉食之、岂可用其余者、而作可憎之物、俯伏以拜木干乎、

†[Xdv]只要造偶像的人动点脑筋、思想一下，就会说：“我用同一棵树的木头，一部份当柴烧，烤饼，烤肉；另一部份用来造偶像，而我竟对着一块木头膜拜！”

†[GNT] The maker of idols hasn't the wit or the sense to say, "Some of the wood I burned up. I baked some bread on the coals, and I roasted meat and ate it. And the rest of the wood I made into an idol. Here I am bowing down to a block of wood!"

†[NIV]No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say, "Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left? Shall I bow down to a block of wood

本会注释　　拜偶像的人所崇拜的，只是一块木头。他们跟它说话，向它叩拜，根本没有想到他们只是向一根棍子或柱子提出自己的要求。

赛44:20 他以灰为食，心中昏迷，使他偏邪，他不能自救，也不能说：“我右手中岂不是有虚谎吗？” (串)何4:12罗1:21帖后2:11

†[吕]嘿，以炉灰为食的人！被愚弄的心使他偏行了；他不能援救自己，也不能说：“莫非我右手中有虚假？”

†[思]他所追求的仅是一把灰；他迷惑的心领他走入歧途，而不能自拔，也不会问说：“我右手所拿的不是虚无吗？”

†[当代]这些人所寻求的不过是灰，他们被迷惑偏离正路，他们不能自拔，更不会自省说：“我手中所拿的神不是假的吗？”

†[Wlb]彼乃食灰、中心昏迷、使之离途、弗能自救、不知自言、我之右手所执、非虚诞乎、

†[Xdv]这不是画饼充饥吗？他的愚蠢使他胡涂，无可救药；他不承认捧着的偶像根本不是神。

†[Kjv]He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

†[Nkjv]He feeds on ashes; A deceived heart has turned him aside; And he cannot deliver his soul, Nor say, "Is there not a lie in my right hand?"

†[BBE]As for him whose food is the dust of a dead fire, he has been turned from the way by a twisted mind, so that he is unable to keep himself safe by saying, What I have here in my hand is false.

†[GNT] It makes as much sense as eating ashes. His foolish ideas have so misled him that he is beyond help. He won't admit to himself that the idol he holds in his hand is not a god at all.

†[NIV]He feeds on ashes, a deluded heart misleads him; he cannot save himself, or say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?"

本会注释　　一个人如果以灰为食，指望从中得到营养，那是多么愚蠢！指望偶像能帮助他们的，也是同样愚蠢。

本会注释　　深渊。希伯来语是sulah。在《旧约》只出现在这里。这个预言应验在居鲁士将幼发拉底河改道，使他的军队进入巴比伦之时。耶利米也发出有关巴比伦毁灭的相似预言，将之比作幼发拉底河的干涸（见@耶50:38；51:36@注释；参启16:12）。

赛44:28 论古列说：他是我的牧人，必成就我所喜悦的，必下令建造耶路撒冷，发命立稳圣殿的根基。 (串)代下36:22,23拉1:1赛45:13

†[吕]是那论到古列说：‘他是我的牧人；他必完成我的旨意’，那论到耶路撒冷说：‘它必重建起来’，那论到圣殿说：‘你的根基必然扎定’的。”

†[思]是我论及居鲁士说：“他是我的牧人，他要履行我的一切计划，要吩咐重建耶路撒冷，奠基重修圣殿。”

†[当代]我又论及塞鲁士说：‘他是我的牧人，他必定成全我的心意；他会下令重建耶路撒冷，降旨奠定圣殿的根基。’”

†[新译]我对古列说：‘我的牧人；他必成就我所喜悦的一切。’他要对耶路撒冷说：‘你必被重建起来！’他必对圣殿说：‘你的根基要奠定！’”

†[Wlb]论古列曰、乃为我牧、成我所悦、论耶路撒冷曰、必得建造、论圣殿曰、其基必立、

†[Xdv]我对塞鲁士说：你要替我牧养，要执行我的旨意。你要对耶路撒冷说，我要重建它；对圣殿说，我要奠定它的基础。

†[Kjv]That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

†[Nkjv]Who says of Cyrus, "He is My shepherd, And he shall perform all My pleasure, Saying to Jerusalem, "You shall be built," And to the temple, "Your foundation shall be laid."'

†[BBE]Who says of Cyrus, He will take care of my sheep, and will do all my pleasure: who says of Jerusalem, I will give the word for your building; and of the Temple, Your bases will be put in place.

†[GNT] I say to Cyrus, "You are the one who will rule for me; you will do what I want you to do: you will order that Jerusalem be rebuilt and that the foundations of the Temple be laid.' "

†[NIV]who says of Cyrus, 'He is my shepherd and will accomplish all that I please; he will say of Jerusalem, "Let it be rebuilt," and of the temple, "Let its foundations be laid." '

本会注释　　居鲁士。这是一个不寻常的预言，因为在一个半世纪之前就提到了居鲁士的名字，预言他在解放犹太人中所起的非凡作用。关于约西亚改革的类似预言，见王上13:2。当居鲁士得悉在他出生前一半世纪，犹太人的一个预言提到他的名字，描述他征服巴比伦，并预知他对待被掳之犹太人的政策时，他一定非常惊讶（见《先知与君王》第557页）。
　　我的牧人。居鲁士在推翻巴比伦，解放犹太人时，为肉身的以色列所做的事，基督也将为祂的选民成就。祂将推翻那奥秘的巴比伦，拯救祂的子民脱离其统治（启18:2-4,20；启19:1,2）。
　　建造耶路撒冷。居鲁士攻克巴比伦不久，就颁布法令允许被掳的犹太人回乡重建圣殿（代下36:22,23；见@拉1:1-4@注释）。
