5/15 (五)
以賽亞書 65:13-16
現代文譯本(2019)
13 所以,我—至高的上主告訴你們,凡是敬拜我、服從我的人都要有足夠的飲食,你們卻忍受飢渴。他們要歡樂,你們卻蒙羞。
14 他們要歡欣歌唱,你們卻傷心哭泣,悲痛哀號。
15 我的選民要把你們的名字當詛咒。我—至高的上主要置你們於死地,但是順服我的人,我要賜給他們新名字。
16 在這塊土地上,任何求福的人都要到信實的上帝面前來求;任何要宣誓的人都要奉信實的上帝宣誓。因為以往的困難都消逝被遺忘了。」
ESV
13 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame;
14 behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, but you shall cry out for pain of heart and shall wail for breaking of spirit.
15 You shall leave your name to my chosen for a curse, and the Lord GOD will put you to death, but his servants he will call by another name,
16 so that he who blesses himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of truth, and he who takes an oath in the land shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten and are hidden from my eyes.
《二十一世紀聖經新譯》
第13-16節這里開始的韻味像一首哀歌(參十四3-23),而這里所用鮮明的對比使人想到福音書(參太二十五31-46;路六20-26;約三36)。「真實的神」(16節)一名直譯是「阿們的神」,意即肯定和信實;可比較耶穌的用語:「我實實在在的」(原文是「阿們,阿們」);還有祂在啟示錄三章14節的名號(另參林後一18-20)。
