Ê-sai 45
Kinh Thánh Bản Truyền Thống ⇄ NET Bible
अध्ययनNgười xức dầu của Ngài — Đức Chúa Trời gọi Si-ru, một vị vua ngoại giáo người Ba-tư, là "người xức dầu của Ngài" (tiếng Hê-bơ-rơ: meshiach, "mê-si-a"). Đây là nơi duy nhất trong Cựu Ước mà một người không phải người Y-sơ-ra-ên nhận được tước hiệu này. Đức Chúa Trời đã chọn Si-ru để làm tròn các mục đích của Ngài mặc dù Si-ru không biết Ngài.This is what the Lord says to his chosen one, to Cyrus, whose right hand I hold in order to subdue nations before him, and disarm kings, to open doors before him, so gates remain unclosed:
“I will go before you and level mountains. Bronze doors I will shatter and iron bars I will hack through.
I will give you hidden treasures, riches stashed away in secret places, so you may recognize that I am the Lord, the one who calls you by name, the God of Israel.
For the sake of my servant Jacob, Israel, my chosen one, I call you by name and give you a title of respect, even though you do not recognize me.
I am the Lord, I have no peer, there is no God but me. I arm you for battle, even though you do not recognize me.
I do this so people will recognize from east to west that there is no God but me; I am the Lord, I have no peer.
अध्ययनDựng nên sự tai vạ — Từ tiếng Hê-bơ-rơ "ra" ở đây có nghĩa là tai họa hoặc thảm họa, chứ không phải sự dữ về đạo đức. Đức Chúa Trời đang phán rằng Ngài đem lại cả sự thịnh vượng lẫn sự phán xét. Ngài không bao giờ tạo ra tội lỗi, nhưng Ngài thực sự giáng sự phán xét trên tội lỗi.I am the one who forms light and creates darkness; the one who brings about peace and creates calamity. I am the Lord, who accomplishes all these things.
O sky, rain down from above! Let the clouds send down showers of deliverance! Let the earth absorb it so salvation may grow, and deliverance may sprout up along with it. I, the Lord, create it.
अध्ययनMột bình trong các bình bằng đất — Hình ảnh đất sét chất vấn thợ gốm cho thấy sự vô lý khi con người thách thức các kế hoạch của Đức Chúa Trời. Phao-lô nhắc lại hình ảnh thợ gốm và đất sét này.(ROM 9:20)One who argues with his creator is in grave danger, one who is like a mere shard among the other shards on the ground! The clay should not say to the potter, “What in the world are you doing? Your work lacks skill!”
Danger awaits one who says to his father, “What in the world are you fathering?” and to his mother, “What in the world are you bringing forth?”
This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel, the one who formed him, concerning things to come: “How dare you question me about my children! How dare you tell me what to do with the work of my own hands!
I made the earth, I created the people who live on it. It was me – my hands stretched out the sky, I give orders to all the heavenly lights.
अध्ययनSắc lệnh của Si-ru — Đức Chúa Trời hứa rằng Si-ru sẽ xây dựng lại Giê-ru-sa-lem và giải phóng những kẻ bị lưu đày. Điều này đã được ứng nghiệm khi Si-ru ban hành sắc lệnh cho phép người Giu-đa trở về từ Ba-by-lôn.(EZR 1:1)It is me – I stir him up and commission him; I will make all his ways level. He will rebuild my city; he will send my exiled people home, but not for a price or a bribe,” says the Lord who commands armies.
This is what the Lord says: “The profit of Egypt and the revenue of Ethiopia, along with the Sabeans, those tall men, will be brought to you and become yours. They will walk behind you, coming along in chains. They will bow down to you and pray to you: ‘Truly God is with you; he has no peer; there is no other God!’”
Yes, you are a God who keeps hidden, O God of Israel, deliverer!
They will all be ashamed and embarrassed; those who fashion idols will all be humiliated.
Israel will be delivered once and for all by the Lord; you will never again be ashamed or humiliated.
For this is what the Lord says, the one who created the sky – he is the true God, the one who formed the earth and made it; he established it, he did not create it without order, he formed it to be inhabited – “I am the Lord, I have no peer.
I have not spoken in secret, in some hidden place. I did not tell Jacob’s descendants, ‘Seek me in vain!’ I am the Lord, the one who speaks honestly, who makes reliable announcements.
Gather together and come! Approach together, you refugees from the nations! Those who carry wooden idols know nothing, those who pray to a god that cannot deliver.
Tell me! Present the evidence! Let them consult with one another! Who predicted this in the past? Who announced it beforehand? Was it not I, the Lord? I have no peer, there is no God but me, a God who vindicates and delivers; there is none but me.
Turn to me so you can be delivered, all you who live in the earth’s remote regions! For I am God, and I have no peer.
अध्ययनMọi đầu gối sẽ quì — Lời thề của Đức Chúa Trời rằng mọi người sẽ quì trước mặt Ngài. Phao-lô trích dẫn câu này để cho thấy mọi người sẽ khai trình với Đức Chúa Trời, và sách Phi-líp áp dụng điều này cho Chúa Giê-xu, Đấng mà mọi đầu gối sẽ quì trước mặt Ngài.(ROM 14:11)I solemnly make this oath – what I say is true and reliable: ‘Surely every knee will bow to me, every tongue will solemnly affirm;
they will say about me, “Yes, the Lord is a powerful deliverer.”’” All who are angry at him will cower before him.
All the descendants of Israel will be vindicated by the Lord and will boast in him.
