2/17 (二)
以賽亞書 51：1-3
現代文譯本（2019）
1 上主說：
希望蒙救援、尋求我幫助的人哪，
你們都要聽我的話。
想一想你們的源頭；
想一想你們的背景。
2 想一想你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕；
想一想生育你們的莎拉。
當我呼召亞伯拉罕的時候，
他並沒有兒子；
但是我賜福給他，
使他有了無數的子孫。
3 我要對耶路撒冷施憐憫，
要安慰住在那廢墟上的人。
我要使荒蕪的土地像伊甸園；
我要使廢墟成為上主的花園。
那裡必有喜樂，有歡欣，
有讚美、感謝的歌聲。
ESV
1 “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the LORD: look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug.
2 Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you; for he was but one when I called him, that I might bless him and multiply him.
3 For the LORD comforts Zion; he comforts all her waste places and makes her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song.
《二十一世紀聖經新譯》
這里首先呼籲人回顧以色列卑微的開始，看看神如何從「獨自一人」建立（1-2節）。
