2/9 (一)
以賽亞書 49:8-10
現代文譯本(2019)
8 上主對他的子民這樣說:
悅納你的時候一到,我就垂聽你;
拯救你的時機一來,我就幫助你。
我要保護你,看顧你,
藉著你與萬民立約。
我要讓你返回那荒廢了的地方,
讓你重建家園。
9 我要對被俘的說:你們自由了!
對黑暗中的人說:你們重見光明吧!
他們會像羊一樣在草地上吃草;
高山就是牠們的草場。
10 他們不飢不渴。
炎陽烈日不傷害他們;
因為那愛他們的要帶領他們;
他要引導他們到有泉水的地方。
ESV
8 Thus says the LORD: “In a time of favor I have answered you; in a day of salvation I have helped you; I will keep you and give you as a covenant to the people, to establish the land, to apportion the desolate heritages,
9 saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’ They shall feed along the ways; on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
10 they shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them, for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them.
《舊約-聖經背景註釋》
覆興的特點 在亞述文學,公義國王的治權會伴之以繁榮昌盛、敬神殷勤、快樂、囚犯得釋、病得醫治、用油膏抹,並且給有需要的人衣食等現象。雅巍覆興祂的子民也有這些特色,同時也是彌賽亞的形像特色。
