Bel has bowed down; Nebo stoops; / Their idols are on beasts and cattle; / The things which you carry are a burden, / A load for a weary beast.
彼勒屈身，尼波弯腰；巴比伦的偶像驮在走兽和牲畜上；你们所抬的如今成了重驮，成了使牲畜疲乏的负担。

They stoop and have bowed down together; / They are not able to escape the burden; / But they themselves have gone into captivity.
这些都一同弯腰屈身，不能保全重驮，自己倒被掳去。

Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, / And all the remnant of the house of Israel, / You who have been borne from birth, / Who have been carried from the womb,
雅各家、以色列家一切余剩的，要听我言，你们从出生就蒙我保抱，从母腹便蒙我怀揣。

Even unto old age, I am He; / Even unto your gray-haired years, I will bear you. / I have made and I will carry, / And I will bear and deliver.
直到你们年老，我仍这样；直到你们发白，我仍怀抱。我已造作，也必怀揣；我必怀抱，也必拯救。

To whom will you liken Me, / And with whom will you make Me equal / And compare Me, that we should be considered alike?
你们将谁与我相比，使谁与我同等，可以与我比较，使我们相同呢？

Those who lavish gold from the purse / And weigh silver in scales / And hire a goldsmith, and he makes a god — / They bow down and even worship it;
那从囊中倒出金子，用天平称银子的人，雇金匠将金银制造成神像，他们又俯伏，又叩拜；

They lift it up on their shoulder; they carry it / And set it in its place, and it stands. / It will not move from its place; / Someone even cries out to it, and it does not answer, / Nor save him from his distress.
他们将神像抬起，扛在肩上，安置在定处，使它站立，不离本位；即使有人呼求它，它也不能答应，也不能救人脱离急难。

Remember this and stand fast; / Put this in your heart, O transgressors.
你们当想念这事，并站立得稳；悖逆的人哪，要心里回想。

Remember the former things of old, / That I am God and there is no one else; / I am God and there is no one like Me,
你们要追念上古起头的事，因为我是神，再没有别神；我是神，没有像我的；

Who declares the end from the beginning / And things which have not been done from ancient times, / Saying, My counsel will stand, / And all My desire I will accomplish;
我从起初指明末后的事，从古时言明未成的事，说，我的筹算必立定，凡我所喜悦的，我必成就；

Who calls for a bird of prey from the east, / And from a distant land a man to be My counselor. / Indeed, I have spoken; surely I will bring it to pass. / I have purposed; surely I will do it.
我召鸷鸟从东方来，召那成就我筹算的人从远方来。我已说出，也必成就；我已谋定，也必作成。

Listen to Me, O hardhearted ones, / Who are far from righteousness.
你们这些心中顽梗，远离公义的，当听我言。

I will bring My righteousness near — it is not far off; / And My salvation will not delay; / And I will give salvation in Zion, / And to Israel My glory.
我使我的公义临近，必不远离；我的救恩必不迟延；我要在锡安施行救恩，将我的荣耀赐给以色列。
