Ê-sai 44
Kinh Thánh Bản Truyền Thống ⇄ NET Bible
“Now, listen, Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen!”
İncelemeÝ nghĩa của Giê-su-run — Một tên gọi mang tính thi ca dành cho Y-sơ-ra-ên, có nghĩa là "người ngay thẳng" hoặc "người yêu dấu". Tên này nhấn mạnh mối quan hệ đặc biệt của Đức Chúa Trời với dân Ngài.This is what the Lord, the one who made you, says – the one who formed you in the womb and helps you: “Don’t be afraid, my servant Jacob, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen!
İncelemeThần được đổ xuống — Lời hứa về việc ban Thần cho dòng dõi Y-sơ-ra-ên này sau đó đã được ứng nghiệm tại lễ Ngũ Tuần (Công-vụ các Sứ-đồ 2:17-18). Hình ảnh nước trên đất khô tượng trưng cho sự tươi mới thuộc linh.For I will pour water on the parched ground and cause streams to flow on the dry land. I will pour my spirit on your offspring and my blessing on your children.
They will sprout up like a tree in the grass, like poplars beside channels of water.
One will say, ‘I belong to the Lord,’ and another will use the name ‘Jacob.’ One will write on his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’ and use the name ‘Israel.’”
İncelemeĐầu tiên và Cuối cùng — Đức Chúa Trời tuyên bố quyền tể trị vĩnh cửu và độc nhất của Ngài. Cụm từ này được lặp lại trong Khải-huyền 1:17 và 22:13, khẳng định thần tính của Đấng Christ.(REV 1:17)This is what the Lord, Israel’s king, says, their protector, the Lord who commands armies: “I am the first and I am the last, there is no God but me.
Who is like me? Let him make his claim! Let him announce it and explain it to me – since I established an ancient people – let them announce future events!
Don’t panic! Don’t be afraid! Did I not tell you beforehand and decree it? You are my witnesses! Is there any God but me? There is no other sheltering rock; I know of none.
All who form idols are nothing; the things in which they delight are worthless. Their witnesses cannot see; they recognize nothing, so they are put to shame.
Who forms a god and casts an idol that will prove worthless?
Look, all his associates will be put to shame; the craftsmen are mere humans. Let them all assemble and take their stand! They will panic and be put to shame.
A blacksmith works with his tool and forges metal over the coals. He forms it with hammers; he makes it with his strong arm. He gets hungry and loses his energy; he drinks no water and gets tired.
A carpenter takes measurements; he marks out an outline of its form; he scrapes it with chisels, and marks it with a compass. He patterns it after the human form, like a well-built human being, and puts it in a shrine.
He cuts down cedars and acquires a cypress or an oak. He gets trees from the forest; he plants a cedar and the rain makes it grow.
A man uses it to make a fire; he takes some of it and warms himself. Yes, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Then he makes a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.
Half of it he burns in the fire – over that half he cooks meat; he roasts a meal and fills himself. Yes, he warms himself and says, ‘Ah! I am warm as I look at the fire.’
With the rest of it he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships it. He prays to it, saying, ‘Rescue me, for you are my god!’
They do not comprehend or understand, for their eyes are blind and cannot see; their minds do not discern.
No one thinks to himself, nor do they comprehend or understand and say to themselves: ‘I burned half of it in the fire – yes, I baked bread over the coals; I roasted meat and ate it. With the rest of it should I make a disgusting idol? Should I bow down to dry wood?’
İncelemeĂn tro — Một ẩn dụ sống động: hy vọng của kẻ thờ thần tượng cũng bổ dưỡng như việc ăn tro. Điều này cho thấy sự vô ích hoàn toàn của việc tin cậy vào các thần do tay người làm ra.He feeds on ashes; his deceived mind misleads him. He cannot rescue himself, nor does he say, ‘Is this not a false god I hold in my right hand?’
Remember these things, O Jacob, O Israel, for you are my servant. I formed you to be my servant; O Israel, I will not forget you!
İncelemeTội lỗi được xóa sạch — Đức Chúa Trời hứa ban sự tha thứ trọn vẹn, như việc xóa đi một đám mây. Đây là một hình ảnh mạnh mẽ về ân điển, được lặp lại trong Thi-thiên 103:12 và Mi-chê 7:19.(PSA 103:12)I remove the guilt of your rebellious deeds as if they were a cloud, the guilt of your sins as if they were a cloud. Come back to me, for I protect you.”
Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; shout out, you subterranean regions of the earth. O mountains, give a joyful shout; you too, O forest and all your trees! For the Lord protects Jacob; he reveals his splendor through Israel.
This is what the Lord, your protector, says, the one who formed you in the womb: “I am the Lord, who made everything, who alone stretched out the sky, who fashioned the earth all by myself,
who frustrates the omens of the empty talkers and humiliates the omen readers, who overturns the counsel of the wise men and makes their advice seem foolish,
who fulfills the oracles of his prophetic servants and brings to pass the announcements of his messengers, who says about Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited,’ and about the towns of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt, her ruins I will raise up,’
who says to the deep sea, ‘Be dry! I will dry up your sea currents,’
İncelemeSi-ru được nêu danh — Kinh Thánh nêu tên một vị vua Ba-tư tương lai, người sẽ ban sắc lệnh tái thiết Giê-ru-sa-lem và đền thờ. Được viết hơn một thế kỷ trước khi Si-ru xuất hiện, điều này chứng tỏ quyền kiểm soát lịch sử của Đức Chúa Trời.(EZR 1:1)who commissions Cyrus, the one I appointed as shepherd to carry out all my wishes and to decree concerning Jerusalem, ‘She will be rebuilt,’ and concerning the temple, ‘It will be reconstructed.’”
