41:1 [hgb]  众 海 岛 阿 ， 当 在 我 面 前 静 默 ， 众 民 当 从 新 得 力 ， 都 要 近 前 来 才 可 以 说 话 。 我 们 可 以 彼 此 辩 论 。
    [kjv]  Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
    [bbe]  Come quietly before me, O sea-lands, and let the peoples get together their strength: let them come near; then let them say what they have to say: let us put forward our cause against one another.
41:2 [hgb]  谁 从 东 方 兴 起 一 人 ， 凭 公 义 召 他 来 到 脚 前 呢 ？ 耶 和 华 将 列 国 交 给 他 ， 使 他 管 辖 君 王 ， 把 他 们 如 灰 尘 交 与 他 的 刀 ， 如 风 吹 的 碎 秸 交 与 他 的 弓 。
    [kjv]  Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
    [bbe]  Who sent out from the east one who is right wherever he goes? he gives the nations into his hands, and makes him ruler over kings; he gives them as the dust to his sword, as dry stems before the wind to his bow.
41:3 [hgb]  他 追 赶 他 们 ， 走 他 所 未 走 的 道 ， 坦 然 前 行 。
    [kjv]  He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
    [bbe]  He goes after them safely, not touching the road with his feet.
41:4 [hgb]  谁 行 作 成 就 这 事 ， 从 起 初 宣 召 历 代 呢 ？ 就 是 我 耶 和 华 ， 我 是 首 先 的 。 也 与 末 后 的 同 在 。
    [kjv]  Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
    [bbe]  Whose purpose and work was it? His who sent out the generations from the start. I the Lord, the first, and with the last, I am he.
41:5 [hgb]  海 岛 看 见 就 都 害 怕 ， 地 极 也 都 战 兢 ， 就 近 前 来 。
    [kjv]  The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
    [bbe]  The sea-lands saw it, and were in fear; the ends of the earth were shaking: they came near.
41:6 [hgb]  他 们 各 人 帮 助 邻 舍 ， 各 人 对 弟 兄 说 ， 壮 胆 吧 。
    [kjv]  They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
    [bbe]  They gave help everyone to his neighbour; and everyone said to his brother, Take heart!
41:7 [hgb]  木 匠 勉 励 银 匠 ， 用 锤 打 光 的 勉 励 打 砧 的 ， 论 焊 工 说 ， 焊 得 好 。 又 用 钉 子 钉 稳 ， 免 得 偶 像 动 摇 。
    [kjv]  So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
    [bbe]  So the metal-worker put heart into the gold-worker, and he who was hammering the metal smooth said kind words to the iron-worker, saying of the plate, It is ready: and he put it together with nails, so that there might be no slipping.
41:8 [hgb]  惟 你 以 色 列 我 的 仆 人 ， 雅 各 我 所 拣 选 的 ， 我 朋 友 亚 伯 拉 罕 的 后 裔 ，
    [kjv]  But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
    [bbe]  But as for you, Israel, my servant, and you, Jacob, whom I have taken for myself, the seed of Abraham my friend:
41:9 [hgb]  你 是 我 从 地 极 所 领 （ 原 文 作 抓 ） 来 的 ， 从 地 角 所 召 来 的 ， 且 对 你 说 ， 你 是 我 的 仆 人 ， 我 拣 选 你 并 不 弃 绝 你 。
    [kjv]  Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
    [bbe]  You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and sent for from its farthest parts, saying to you, You are my servant, whom I have taken for myself, and whom I have not given up:
41:10 [hgb]  你 不 要 害 怕 ， 因 为 我 与 你 同 在 。 不 要 惊 惶 ， 因 为 我 是 你 的 神 。 我 必 坚 固 你 ， 我 必 帮 助 你 ， 我 必 用 我 公 义 的 右 手 扶 持 你 。
    [kjv]  Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
    [bbe]  Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.
41:11 [hgb]  凡 向 你 发 怒 的 ， 必 都 抱 愧 蒙 羞 。 与 你 相 争 的 ， 必 如 无 有 ， 并 要 灭 亡 。
    [kjv]  Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
    [bbe]  Truly, all those who are angry with you will be made low and put to shame: those desiring to do you wrong will come to nothing and never again be seen.
41:12 [hgb]  与 你 争 竞 的 ， 你 要 找 他 们 也 找 不 着 。 与 你 争 战 的 ， 必 如 无 有 ， 成 为 虚 无 。
    [kjv]  Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
    [bbe]  You will make search for your haters but they will not be there; those who make war against you will be as nothing and will come to destruction.
41:13 [hgb]  因 为 我 耶 和 华 你 的 神 ， 必 搀 扶 你 的 右 手 ， 对 你 说 ， 不 要 害 怕 ， 我 必 帮 助 你 。
    [kjv]  For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
    [bbe]  For I, the Lord your God, have taken your right hand in mine, saying to you, Have no fear; I will be your helper.
41:14 [hgb]  你 这 虫 雅 各 ， 和 你 们 以 色 列 人 ， 不 要 害 怕 。 耶 和 华 说 ， 我 必 帮 助 你 。 你 的 救 赎 主 ， 就 是 以 色 列 的 圣 者 。
    [kjv]  Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
    [bbe]  Have no fear, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will be your helper, says the Lord, even he who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel.
41:15 [hgb]  看 哪 ， 我 已 使 你 成 为 有 快 齿 打 粮 的 新 器 具 ， 你 要 把 山 岭 打 得 粉 碎 ， 使 冈 陵 如 同 糠 秕 。
    [kjv]  Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
    [bbe]  See, I will make you like a new grain-crushing instrument with teeth, crushing the mountains small, and making the hills like dry stems.............
