Isaiah

1giờ đây thành gánh nặng trên những con vật mệt nhoài.

2và chính chúng cũng phải đi lưu đày.

3đã hứng các ngươi từ lúc chưa chào đời.

4Ta sẽ nâng niu, gánh vác các ngươi, và ban ơn cứu thoát.

5Đối chiếu Ta với ai, để cả hai bên cùng tương xứng ?

6rồi sụp lạy, rồi bái thờ nữa.

7cũng chẳng cứu ai khỏi cơn khốn quẫn.

8Hỡi quân phản trắc, hãy ghi lòng tạc dạ !

9Ta là Thiên Chúa, và chẳng có thần nào như Ta.

10Ta sẽ thi hành điều Ta ưa thích.

11Quả thật, Ta đã nói thì sẽ thi hành, đã nghĩ tới thì sẽ thực hiện.

12Hãy nghe Ta, hỡi kẻ cứng lòng, kẻ xa đường công chính !

13và sẽ cho Ít-ra-en được vinh quang rạng rỡ.

1Bel is broken, Nebo is destroyed: their idols are put upon beasts and cattle, your burdens of heavy weight even unto weariness.

2They are consumed, and are broken together: they could not save him that carried them, and they themselves shall go into captivity.

3Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried by my bowels, are borne up by my womb.

4Even to your old age I am the same, and to your grey hairs I will carry you: I have made you, and I will bear: I will carry and will save.

5To whom have you likened me, and made me equal, and compared me, and made me like?

6You that contribute gold out of the bag, and weigh out silver in the scales: and hire a goldsmith to make a god: and they fall down and worship.

7They bear him on their shoulders and carry him, and set him in his piece, and he shall stand, and shall not stir out of his place. Yea, when they shall cry also unto him, he shall not hear: he shall not save them from tribulation.

8Remember this, and be ashamed: return, ye transgressors, to the heart.

9Remember the former age, for I am God, and there is no God beside, neither is there the like to me:

10Who shew from the beginning the things that shall be at last, and from ancient times the things that as yet are not done, saying: My counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done:

11Who call a bird from the east, and from a far country the man of my own will, and I have spoken, and will bring it to pass: I have created, and I will do it. Hear me, O ye hardhearted, who are far from justice.

12I have brought my justice near, it shall not be afar off: and my salvation shall not tarry. I will give salvation in Sion, and my glory in Israel.
