Isaiah

1chính bởi tội lỗi của các ngươi mà mẹ các ngươi đã bị rẫy.

2cá mắc cạn nặng mùi và chết khát.

3và phủ lên đó tấm vải thô.

4để tôi lắng tai nghe như một người môn đệ.

5còn tôi, tôi không cưỡng lại, cũng chẳng tháo lui.

6Tôi đã không che mặt khi bị mắng nhiếc phỉ nhổ.

7Tôi biết mình sẽ không phải thẹn thùng.

8Ai muốn kiện cáo tôi ? Cứ thử đến đây coi !

9Này, tất cả chúng sẽ mục đi như chiếc áo, và sẽ bị mối ăn.

10và tìm nương tựa nơi Thiên Chúa mình thờ.

11các ngươi sẽ nằm xuống trong đớn đau cùng cực.

1Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

2Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

4The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

5¶ The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

6I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

7¶ For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

8He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

9Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

10¶ Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

11Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
