瑪拉基書 3:1
"I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the Lord Almighty.
萬軍之耶和華說：「我要差遣我的使者在我前面預備道路。你們所尋求的主必忽然進入他的殿；立約的使者，就是你們所仰慕的，快要來到。」

- 13
Tell him this is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the Lord.
It is he who will build the temple of the Lord, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he will be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.'
對他說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：看哪，那名稱為大衛苗裔的，他要在本處長起來，並要建造耶和華的殿。
他要建造耶和華的殿，並擔負尊榮，坐在位上掌王權；又必在位上作祭司，使兩職之間籌定和平。
約翰福音 12:12

The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! " "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Blessed is the king of Israel!"
Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
"Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt."
At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.
第二天，有許多上來過節的人聽見耶穌將到耶路撒冷，
就拿著棕樹枝出去迎接他，喊著說：「和撒那！奉主名來的以色列王是應當稱頌的！」
耶穌得了一個驢駒，就騎上，如經上所記的說：
錫安的民（原文作女子）哪，不要懼怕！你的王騎著驢駒來了。
這些事門徒起先不明白，等到耶穌得了榮耀以後才想起這話是指著他寫的，並且眾人果然向他這樣行了。
但以理書 7:13
- 14
"In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence.
He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
我在夜間的異象中觀看，見有一位像人子的，駕著天雲而來，被領到亙古常在者面前，
得了權柄、榮耀、國度，使各方、各國、各族的人都事奉他。他的權柄是永遠的，不能廢去；他的國必不敗壞。
撒迦利亞書 9:9
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
錫安的民哪，應當大大喜樂；耶路撒冷的民哪，應當歡呼。看哪，你的王來到你這裡！他是公義的，並且施行拯救，謙謙和和地騎著驢，就是騎著驢的駒子。

He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read,
and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." ote style="f" caller="+"> 4:19 Isaiah 61:1,2 (see Septuagint); Isaiah 58:6
Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him.
He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked.
耶穌來到拿撒勒，就是他長大的地方。在安息日，照他平常的規矩進了會堂，站起來要念聖經。
有人把先知以賽亞的書交給他，他就打開，找到一處寫著說：
主的靈在我身上，因為他用膏膏我，叫我傳福音給貧窮的人；差遣我報告：被擄的得釋放，瞎眼的得看見，叫那受壓制的得自由，
報告神悅納人的禧年。
於是把書捲起來，交還執事，就坐下。會堂裡的人都定睛看他。
耶穌對他們說：「今天這經應驗在你們耳中了。」
眾人都稱讚他，並希奇他口中所出的恩言；又說：「這不是約瑟的兒子嗎？」

the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.

See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a ruler and commander of the peoples.
Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations you do not know will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor."
我已立他作萬民的見證，為萬民的君王和司令。

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
主耶和華的靈在我身上；因為耶和華用膏膏我，叫我傳好信息給謙卑的人（或作：傳福音給貧窮的人），差遣我醫好傷心的人，報告被擄的得釋放，被囚的出監牢；
報告耶和華的恩年，和我們神報仇的日子；安慰一切悲哀的人，
賜華冠與錫安悲哀的人，代替灰塵；喜樂油代替悲哀；讚美衣代替憂傷之靈；使他們稱為「公義樹」，是耶和華所栽的，叫他得榮耀。

His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
我是用水給你們施洗，叫你們悔改。但那在我以後來的，能力比我更大，我就是給他提鞋也不配。他要用聖靈與火給你們施洗。
他手裡拿著簸箕，要揚淨他的場，把麥子收在倉裡，把糠用不滅的火燒盡了。」

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.
因有一嬰孩為我們而生；有一子賜給我們。政權必擔在他的肩頭上；他名稱為「奇妙策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君」。
他的政權與平安必加增無窮。他必在大衛的寶座上治理他的國，以公平公義使國堅定穩固，從今直到永遠。萬軍之耶和華的熱心必成就這事。

to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
我耶和華憑公義召你，必攙扶你的手，保守你，使你作眾民的中保（中保：原文作約），作外邦人的光，
開瞎子的眼，領被囚的出牢獄，領坐黑暗的出監牢。
以賽亞書 52:13
- 15
See, my servant will act wisely ; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Just as there were many who were appalled at him - his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness-
so he will sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
我的僕人行事必有智慧（或作：行事通達），必被高舉上升，且成為至高。
許多人因他﹝原文作你﹞驚奇；（他的面貌比別人憔悴；他的形容比世人枯槁。）
這樣，他必洗淨（或作：鼓動）許多國民；君王要向他閉口。因所未曾傳與他們的，他們必看見；未曾聽見的，他們要明白。
彌迦書 5:4
- 5
He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they will live securely, for then his greatness will reach to the ends of the earth.
And he will be our peace when the Assyrians invade our land and march through our fortresses. We will raise against them seven shepherds, even eight commanders,
他必起來，倚靠耶和華的大能，並耶和華他神之名的威嚴，牧養他的羊群。他們要安然居住；因為他必日見尊大，直到地極。
這位必作我們的平安。當亞述人進入我們的地境，踐踏宮殿的時候，我們就立起七個牧者，八個首領攻擊他。
撒迦利亞書 3:8
- 10
" 'Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.
See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.
" 'In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,' declares the Lord Almighty."
大祭司約書亞啊，你和坐在你面前的同伴都當聽。（他們是作預兆的。）我必使我僕人大衛的苗裔發出。
看哪，我在約書亞面前所立的石頭，在一塊石頭上有七眼。萬軍之耶和華說：我要親自雕刻這石頭，並要在一日之間除掉這地的罪孽。
當那日，你們各人要請鄰舍坐在葡萄樹和無花果樹下。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」

I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in19:26Or destroyed, / apart from my flesh I will see God;
I myself will see him with my own eyes-I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!
我知道我的救贖主活著，末了必站立在地上。
我這皮肉滅絕之後，我必在肉體之外得見神。
我自己要見他，親眼要看他，並不像外人。我的心腸在我裡面消滅了！
以賽亞書 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and7:14Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scrolls son, and heor son, and they will call him Immanuel.7:14Immanuelmeans God with us.

and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it, passing through it and reaching up to the neck. Its outspread wings will cover the breadth of your land, Immanuel !"
Raise the war cry, you nations, and be shattered! Listen, all you distant lands. Prepare for battle, and be shattered! Prepare for battle, and be shattered!
Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted; propose your plan, but it will not stand, for God is with us.
必沖入猶大，漲溢氾濫，直到頸項。以馬內利啊，他展開翅膀，遍滿你的地。」
列國的人民哪，任憑你們喧嚷，終必破壞；遠方的眾人哪，當側耳而聽！任憑你們束起腰來，終必破壞；你們束起腰來，終必破壞。
任憑你們同謀，終歸無有；任憑你們言定，終不成立；因為神與我們同在。
以賽亞書 11:1
- 5
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord-
and he will delight in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;
but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.
Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.
從耶西的本（原文作?）必發一條；從他根生的枝子必結果實。
耶和華的靈必住在他身上，就是使他有智慧和聰明的靈，謀略和能力的靈，知識和敬畏耶和華的靈。
他必以敬畏耶和華為樂；行審判不憑眼見，斷是非也不憑耳聞；
卻要以公義審判貧窮人，以正直判斷世上的謙卑人，以口中的杖擊打世界，以嘴裡的氣殺戮惡人。
公義必當他的腰帶；信實必當他脅下的帶子。
以賽亞書 11:10
In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious.
到那日，耶西的根立作萬民的大旗；外邦人必尋求他，他安息之所大有榮耀。
以賽亞書 16:5
In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it- one from the house of David- one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.
必有寶座因慈愛堅立；必有一位誠誠實實坐在其上，在大衛帳幕中施行審判，尋求公平，速行公義。
以賽亞書 28:16
So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.
所以，主耶和華如此說：看哪，我在錫安放一塊石頭作為根基，是試驗過的石頭，是穩固根基，寶貴的房角石；信靠的人必不著急。
以賽亞書 32:1
- 4
See, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice.
Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
The fearful heart will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.
看哪，必有一王憑公義行政；必有首領藉公平掌權。
必有一人像避風所和避暴雨的隱密處，又像河流在乾旱之地，像大磐石的影子在疲乏之地。
那能看的人，眼不再昏迷；能聽的人，耳必得聽聞。
冒失人的心必明白知識；結吧人的舌必說話通快。
以賽亞書 42:1
- 4
"Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.
He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching the islands will put their hope."
看哪，我的僕人我所扶持所揀選、心裡所喜悅的！我已將我的靈賜給他；他必將公理傳給外邦。
他不喧嚷，不揚聲，也不使街上聽見他的聲音。
壓傷的蘆葦，他不折斷；將殘的燈火，他不吹滅。他憑真實將公理傳開。
他不灰心，也不喪膽，直到他在地上設立公理；海島都等候他的訓誨。
以賽亞書 49:6
he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth."
現在他說：你作我的僕人，使雅各眾支派復興，使以色列中得保全的歸回尚為小事，我還要使你作外邦人的光，叫你施行我的救恩，直到地極。
以賽亞書 49:8
- 10
This is what the Lord says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances,
to say to the captives, 'Come out,' and to those in darkness, 'Be free!' "They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill.
They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.
耶和華如此說：在悅納的時候，我應允了你；在拯救的日子，我濟助了你。我要保護你，使你作眾民的中保（中保：原文作約）；復興遍地，使人承受荒涼之地為業。
對那被捆綁的人說：出來吧！對那在黑暗的人說：顯露吧！他們在路上必得飲食，在一切淨光的高處必有食物。
不飢不渴，炎熱和烈日必不傷害他們；因為憐恤他們的必引導他們，領他們到水泉旁邊。
以賽亞書 53:1
- 12
Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied53:11Or (with Masoretic Text) 11He will see the fruit of his suffering / and will be satisfied ; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
我們所傳的（或作：所傳與我們的）有誰信呢？耶和華的膀臂向誰顯露呢？
他在耶和華面前生長如嫩芽，像根出於乾地。他無佳形美容；我們看見他的時候，也無美貌使我們羨慕他。
他被藐視，被人厭棄；多受痛苦，常經憂患。他被藐視，好像被人掩面不看的一樣；我們也不尊重他。
他誠然擔當我們的憂患，背負我們的痛苦；我們卻以為他受責罰，被神擊打苦待了。
哪知他為我們的過犯受害，為我們的罪孽壓傷。因他受的刑罰，我們得平安；因他受的鞭傷，我們得醫治。
我們都如羊走迷；各人偏行己路；耶和華使我們眾人的罪孽都歸在他身上。
他被欺壓，在受苦的時候卻不開口（或作：他受欺壓，卻自卑不開口）；他像羊羔被牽到宰殺之地，又像羊在剪毛的人手下無聲，他也是這樣不開口。
因受欺壓和審判，他被奪去，至於他同世的人，誰想他受鞭打、從活人之地被剪除，是因我百姓的罪過呢？
他雖然未行強暴，口中也沒有詭詐，人還使他與惡人同埋；誰知死的時候與財主同葬。
耶和華卻定意（或作：喜悅）將他壓傷，使他受痛苦。耶和華以他為贖罪祭（或作：他獻本身為贖罪祭）。他必看見後裔，並且延長年日。耶和華所喜悅的事必在他手中亨通。
他必看見自己勞苦的功效，便心滿意足。有許多人因認識我的義僕得稱為義；並且他要擔當他們的罪孽。
所以，我要使他與位大的同分，與強盛的均分擄物。因為他將命傾倒，以致於死；他也被列在罪犯之中。他卻擔當多人的罪，又為罪犯代求。
耶利米書 23:4
I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the Lord.
我必設立照管他們的牧人，牧養他們。他們不再懼怕，不再驚惶，也不缺少一個；這是耶和華說的。」
耶利米書 23:5
- 6
"The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.
In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.
耶和華說：「日子將到，我要給大衛興起一個公義的苗裔；他必掌王權，行事有智慧，在地上施行公平和公義。
在他的日子，猶大必得救，以色列也安然居住。他的名必稱為『耶和華我們的義』。」
耶利米書 33:15
- 16
" 'In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David's line; he will do what is just and right in the land.
In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.'
當那日子，那時候，我必使大衛公義的苗裔長起來；他必在地上施行公平和公義。
在那日子猶大必得救，耶路撒冷必安然居住，他的名必稱為『耶和華我們的義』。
馬可福音 1:1
- 8
The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God,1:1Some manuscripts do not have the Son of God.
as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way" -
"a voice of one calling in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.' "
And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
John wore clothing made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
And this was his message: "After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
神的兒子，耶穌基督福音的起頭。
正如先知以賽亞（有古卷沒有以賽亞三個字）書上記著說：看哪，我要差遣我的使者在你前面，預備道路。
在曠野有人聲喊著說：預備主的道，修直他的路。
照這話，約翰來了，在曠野施洗，傳悔改的洗禮，使罪得赦。
猶太全地和耶路撒冷的人都出去到約翰那裡，承認他們的罪，在約但河裡受他的洗。
約翰穿駱駝毛的衣服，腰束皮帶，吃的是蝗蟲、野蜜。
他傳道說：「有一位在我以後來的，能力比我更大，我就是彎腰給他解鞋帶也是不配的。
我是用水給你們施洗，他卻要用聖靈給你們施洗。」
使徒行傳 3:18
But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer.
但神曾藉眾先知的口，預言基督將要受害，就這樣應驗了。
詩篇 68:17
- 19
The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.
When you ascended on high, you took many captives; you received gifts from people, even from the rebellious- that you,:18Or they Lord God, might dwell there.
Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.
神的車輦累萬盈千；主在其中，好像在西乃聖山一樣。
你已經升上高天，擄掠仇敵；你在人間，就是在悖逆的人間，受了供獻，叫耶和華神可以與他們同住。
天天背負我們重擔的主，就是拯救我們的神，是應當稱頌的！（細拉）
詩篇 110:1
- 3
The Lord says to my lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."
The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, "Rule in the midst of your enemies!"
Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning's womb.
（大衛的詩。）耶和華對我主說：你坐在我的右邊，等我使你仇敵作你的腳凳。
耶和華必使你從錫安伸出能力的杖來；你要在你仇敵中掌權。
當你掌權的日子（或作：行軍的日子），你的民要以聖潔的妝飾為衣（或作：以聖潔為妝飾），甘心犧牲自己；你的民多如清晨的甘露（或作：你少年時光耀如清晨的甘露）。
