Isa 49:1-26.
SIMILAR TO CHAPTER
42:1-7
(Isa 49:1-9).
Messiah, as the ideal Israel
(Isa 49:3),
states the object of His mission, His want of success for a time, yet His certainty of ultimate success.
1. O isles--Messiah is here regarded as having been rejected by the Jews
(Isa 49:4, 5),
and as now turning to the Gentiles, to whom the Father hath given Him "for a light and salvation." "Isles" mean all regions beyond sea.
from the womb--
(Isa 44:2; Lu 1:31; Joh 10:36).
from . . . bowels . . . mention of my name--His name "Jesus" (that is, God-Saviour) was designated by God before His birth
(Mt 1:21).

2. my mouth . . . sword——
(Isa 11:4; Re 19:15).
暗示神之道雙重的功用——拯救與定罪
(Isa 50:4; Joh 12:48; Heb 4:12).
shaft——
(Ps 45:5).
「磨亮」，即毫無鏽跡，暗示祂無瑕的純潔。
in . . . quiver . . . hid me——如劍在鞘中、箭在箭袋中，彌賽亞在顯現之前被隱藏在神那裏，預備在神看為合宜的時刻被抽出 [HENGSTENBERG]；也始終蒙神保護，如箭之於箭袋
(Isa 51:16).
英語原文
2. my mouth . . . sword--
(Isa 11:4; Re 19:15).
The double office of the Word of God, saving and damnatory, is implied
(Isa 50:4; Joh 12:48; Heb 4:12).
shaft--
(Ps 45:5).
"Polished," that is, free from all rust, implies His unsullied purity.
in . . . quiver . . . hid me--Like a sword in its scabbard, or a shaft in the quiver, Messiah, before His appearing, was hid with God, ready to be drawn forth at the moment God saw fit [HENGSTENBERG]; also always protected by God, as the arrow by the quiver
(Isa 51:16).

3. Israel——用於彌賽亞，正合此名之本義：那位為人類緊緊抓住神並較力的王子，並且得勝

祂也是理想的以色列，全族的代表性之人（比較

3. Israel--applied to Messiah, according to the true import of the name, the Prince who had power with God in wrestling in behalf of man, and who prevails

He is also the ideal Israel, the representative man of the nation (compare

4. I——彌賽亞。
in vain——相比之下，對祂大多數的同胞是徒然的。「祂到自己的地方來，自己的人倒不接待祂」
(Isa 53:1-3;
Lu 19:14;
Joh 1:11; 7:5).
祂親自的事奉結束後，只有一百二十名門徒聚集
(Ac 1:15).
yet . . . my judgment . . . with the Lord——最終，神必為我的事業主持公道，並報答（「作為」的旁注，比較
Isa 40:10; 62:11）
我的勞苦與受苦。祂從不「灰心」
(Isa 42:4; 50:7, 10).
祂雖在當時看似不順利，卻平靜地將結果交託神，確信最終必得勝
(Isa 53:10-12;
1Pe 2:23).
基督的僕人也是如此
(1Co 4:1-5;
1Pe 4:19).
英語原文
4. I--Messiah.
in vain--comparatively in the case of the greater number of His own countrymen. "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not"
(Isa 53:1-3; Lu 19:14; Joh 1:11; 7:5).
Only a hundred twenty disciples met after His personal ministry was ended
(Ac 1:15).
yet . . . my judgment . . . with the Lord--Ultimately, God will do justice to My cause, and reward (Margin for "work," compare
Isa 40:10; 62:11)
My labors and sufferings. He was never "discouraged"
(Isa 42:4; 50:7, 10).
He calmly, in spite of seeming ill success for the time, left the result with God, confident of final triumph
(Isa 53:10-12; 1Pe 2:23).
So the ministers of Christ
(1Co 4:1-5; 1Pe 4:19).

5. 祂確信自己的工作必蒙悅納並得賞賜的理由，即祂「在耶和華眼前為尊榮」云云。
to bring Jacob again to him——
(Mt 15:24;
Ac 3:26).
Though Israel be not gathered——取自羊群分散、牧人重新聚集的比喻；或母雞與小雞
(Mt 23:37).
原文的「不」，Keri（經文旁注）作相近的希伯來文詞「歸向祂」，為平行結構所支持：「使以色列歸向祂。」
yet——不如作插入語。「因我為尊榮云云，且我的神是我的力量。」然後
(Isa 49:6)
恢復
Isa 49:5
開頭的話，「他說」（我重複），云云。HORSLEY 解釋：「儘管猶太人不信，彌賽亞必在外邦人的歸信中得榮耀」，按英文譯本的讀法；但若按 Keri 的讀法，則「以色列儘管在彌賽亚在世時不信，終有一日必被聚集」。
英語原文
5. The reason why He was confident that His work would be accepted and rewarded, namely, because He is "glorious in the eyes of Jehovah," &c.
to bring Jacob again to him--
(Mt 15:24; Ac 3:26).
Though Israel be not gathered--metaphor from a scattered flock which the shepherd gathers together again; or a hen and her chickens
(Mt 23:37).
Instead of the text "not," the Keri has the similar Hebrew word, "to Him," which the parallelism favors: "And that Israel may be gathered to Him."
yet--rather, parenthetically. "For I am glorious, &c., and My God is My strength." Then
(Isa 49:6)
resuming the words from the beginning of
Isa 49:5,
"He saith" (I repeat), &c. HORSLEY explains, "Notwithstanding the incredulity of the Jews, Messiah shall be glorified in the conversion of the Gentiles," reading as English Version: but if the Keri be read, "Israel shall at one time or other be gathered, notwithstanding their incredulity during Messiah's sojourn on earth."

6. It is a light thing——「祢……尚且為小」[HENGSTENBERG]，即復興雅各和以色列對祢的尊榮而言不夠，我為祢所設計的更多，即祢要作照亮外邦人的媒介
(Isa 42:6, 7; 60:3).
the preserved——即神擊打這國之後所存留的人——為憐憫保留的以色列選民餘數。LOWTH 將希伯來文稍作改動——不必要地——將「支派」和「保守」譯作「嫩枝」——「枝條」。
英語原文
6. It is a light thing--"It is too little that Thou shouldest," [HENGSTENBERG], that is, It is not enough honor to Thee to raise up Jacob and Israel, but I design for Thee more, namely, that Thou shouldest be the means of enlightening the Gentiles
(Isa 42:6, 7; 60:3).
the preserved--namely, those remaining after the judgments of God on the nation--the elect remnant of Israel reserved for mercy. LOWTH, with a slight but needless change of the Hebrew, translates for "tribes" and "preserved," the "scions"--the "branches."

7. whom man despiseth——希伯來文「靈魂所藐視的」，即為每一個靈魂、為眾人所藐視
(Isa 52:14, 15; 53:3; 50:6-9;
Ps 22:6).
LOWTH 譯作「其面貌被藐視的」。
abhorreth——字面作「為國家所憎惡的」
(Lu 23:18-23).
猶太人一向輕蔑地稱祂為Tolvi，「那釘十字架的」。我則因Goi（希伯來文「國家」一詞）通常用於指外邦人，而指「百姓」的詞則用於猶太人
(Ho 1:9；
希臘文相應的詞亦分別為Laos與Ethne，
Ro 9:25)，
故此處寧可將「國家」作集合用法，理解為外邦世界，它同樣藐視了祂
(Ps 2:1-3;
Ac 4:25-27).
servant of rulers——
(Mt 17:27).
祂不願向掌權者施展其能力
(Mt 26:52, 53).
shall see——即看見神應許的應驗
(Isa 49:3, 6)，
「當祂（作）外邦人的光時」。
arise——起而敬畏
(Ps 72:10, 11;
Php 2:10).
princes also——不如按平行結構補其省略，作「君王也必看見，也必敬拜」。
faithful——即對祂的應許信實。
choose thee——作為神的選民
(Isa 42:1).
英語原文
7. whom man despiseth--Hebrew, "the despised of soul," that is, by every soul, by all men
(Isa 52:14, 15; 53:3; 50:6-9; Ps 22:6).
LOWTH translates, "whose person is despised."
abhorreth--literally, "who is an abomination to the nation"
(Lu 23:18-23).
The Jews contemptuously call Him always Tolvi, "the crucified." I prefer, on account of Goi, the Hebrew term for nation being usually applied to the Gentiles, and that for people to the Jews
(Ho 1:9;
so the Greek terms respectively also Laos and Ethne,
Ro 9:25),
to take "nation" here collectively for the Gentile world, which also spurned Him
(Ps 2:1-3; Ac 4:25-27).
servant of rulers--
(Mt 17:27).
He who would not exert His power against the rulers
(Mt 26:52, 53).
shall see--namely the fulfilment of God's promises
(Isa 49:3, 6),
"when He (shall be) a light to the Gentiles."
arise--to reverence Thee
(Ps 72:10, 11; Php 2:10).
princes also--rather, for the parallelism, supply the ellipsis, thus, "Princes shall see and shall worship."
faithful--namely, to His promises.
choose thee--as God's elect
(Isa 42:1).

8. 此處彌賽亞被描繪為已替罪人向神求恩；本節即父神所賜恩允的回答。
an acceptable time——「在悅納的時候」〔HENGSTENBERG〕。一個有限的時期
(Isa 61:2; 2Co 6:2)。
即神判定最適合藉彌賽亞成就其恩典旨意的時候。
heard thee——
(Ps 2:8; Heb 5:7)。
day of salvation——即「時候滿足」
(Ga 4:4)
來到之時。拯救的日子就是「今日」
(Heb 4:7)。
helped——賜給祢所需的幫助，使祢作為人能成就人的救恩。
preserve——保守祢免受撒但的攻擊與計謀，使祢不致偏離那為救人而甘願受死的旨意。
covenant of the people——（見
Isa 42:6 註釋）。
「百姓」一詞用單數，始終專指以色列。
establish the earth——宜作「恢復那地」，即將迦南歸還以色列。屬靈意義上，也包括將教會（屬靈的以色列）恢復到因人犯罪而失落的屬天之地。
cause to inherit . . . desolate heritages——意象取自猶大在巴比倫囚擄時期的荒涼狀態。屬靈上，外邦世界本是道德的荒場，將成為耶和華的園子。字面上，荒廢多年的猶大必再度被以色列得為業（參
Isa 61:7
「在他們的地土上」）。耶穌乃約書亞所預表的實體，並與之同名
(Heb 4:8)，
必如約書亞一般，將那地分給真正的承受者
(Isa 54:3; 61:4)。
英語原文
8. Messiah is represented as having asked for the grace of God in behalf of sinners; this verse contains God the Father's favorable answer.
an acceptable time--"In a time of grace" [HENGSTENBERG]. A limited time
(Isa 61:2; 2Co 6:2).
The time judged by God to be the best fitted for effecting the purposes of His grace by Messiah.
heard thee--
(Ps 2:8; Heb 5:7).
day of salvation--when "the fulness of time"
(Ga 4:4)
shall have come. The day of salvation is "to-day"
(Heb 4:7).
helped--given Thee the help needed to enable Thee, as man, to accomplish man's salvation.
preserve--from the assaults and efforts of Satan, to divert Thee from Thy voluntary death to save man.
covenant of the people--(See on
Isa 42:6).
"The people," in the singular, is always applied exclusively to Israel.
establish the earth--rather, "to restore the land," namely, Canaan to Israel. Spiritually, the restoration of the Church (the spiritual Israel) to the heavenly land forfeited by man's sin is also included.
cause to inherit . . . desolate heritages--image from the desolate state of Judea during the Babylonish captivity. Spiritually, the Gentile world, a moral waste, shall become a garden of the Lord. Literally, Judea lying desolate for ages shall be possessed again by Israel (compare
Isa 61:7,
"in their land"). Jesus, the antitype of, and bearing the same name as Joshua
(Heb 4:8),
shall, like him, divide the land among its true heirs
(Isa 54:3; 61:4).

(Isa 42:7; Zec 9:12)。
prisoners——受律法之軛捆綁的猶太人。
them . . . in darkness——對獨一真神沒有亮光的外邦人〔VITRINGA〕。
Show yourselves——不僅看見，也要被人看見
(Mt 5:16; Mr 5:19)。
從你們監牢的黑暗中出來，進入公義日頭的光中。
in the ways 等——在曠野裡並沒有「道路」，也沒有帶「草場」的「高處」；因此含義是：「他們的草場不在曠野，而在有人居住的已開墾之地。」撇開比喻，基督的教會起初將不在偏僻未知之地聚會，而是在羅馬帝國人口最稠密的地區，如安提阿、亞歷山大、羅馬等地〔VITRINGA〕。另一個意思可能是正確的：以色列在歸回聖地的路上，不必為尋找所需而轉入偏僻的小路，而是在任何他們路線所經之處都能找到；ROSENMULLER 如是說。神必供應他們，如同祂使草生長在被人踐踏的道路上與貧瘠的高處。
英語原文
9.
(Isa 42:7; Zec 9:12).
prisoners--the Jews bound in legal bondage.
them . . . in darkness--the Gentiles having no light as to the one true God [VITRINGA].
Show yourselves--not only see but be seen
(Mt 5:16; Mr 5:19).
Come forth from the darkness of your prison into the light of the Sun of righteousness.
in the ways, &c.--In a desert there are no "ways," nor "high places," with "pastures"; thus the sense is: "They shall have their pastures, not in deserts, but in cultivated and inhabited places." Laying aside the figure, the churches of Christ at the first shall be gathered, not in obscure and unknown regions, but in the most populous parts of the Roman empire, Antioch, Alexandria, Rome, &c. [VITRINGA]. Another sense probably is the right one. Israel, on its way back to the Holy Land, shall not have to turn aside to devious paths in search of necessaries, but shall find them in all places wherever their route lies; so ROSENMULLER. God will supply them as if He should make the grass grow in the trodden ways and on the barren high places.

11. my——萬物都是神的。
mountains a way——我必除去路上的一切障礙
(Isa 40:4)。
exalted——即被築高
(Isa 57:14; 62:10)；
例如在山谷之上。VITRINGA 將「眾山」解釋為大國，如埃及、叙利亚等，服於羅馬，以利福音的傳播；「大道」是基督的教訓，那些加入教會的人行在其中，並且在君士坦丁時代要被高舉在一切之前，並公開受保護
(Isa 35:8, 9)。
英語原文
11. my--All things are God's.
mountains a way--I will remove all obstructions out of the way
(Isa 40:4).
exalted--that is, cast up
(Isa 57:14; 62:10);
for instance, over valleys. VITRINGA explains "mountains" as great kingdoms, Egypt, Syria, &c., subjected to Rome, to facilitate the spreading of the Gospel; "highways," the Christian doctrine wherein those who join the Church walk, and which, at the time of Constantine, was to be raised into prominence before all, and publicly protected
(Isa 35:8, 9).

12. Sinim——亞拉伯人與其他亞洲人稱中國為Sin或Tchin；中國人沒有特別稱呼自己的名字，而是採用在位王朝的名稱或某些宏偉的稱號。這對「希尼」的看法符合上下文，因上下文要求一個「從遠方」而來、與那些「從北方、從西方」來的有別的民〔GESENIUS〕。
英語原文
12. Sinim--The Arabians and other Asiatics called China Sin, or Tchin; the Chinese had no special name for themselves, but either adopted that of the reigning dynasty or some high-sounding titles. This view of "Sinim" suits the context which requires a people to be meant "from far," and distinct from those "from the north and from the west" [GESENIUS].

so the accession of converts is like bridal ornaments ("jewels,"

21. Who, &c.--Zion's joyful wonder at the unexpected restoration of the ten tribes. Secondarily, the accession of spiritual Israelites to the mother church of Jerusalem from the Gentiles is meant. This created surprise at first

Children able to support themselves are carried on the shoulders in the East; but infants, in the arms, or astride on one haunch

"Thy sons" must be distinct from "the Gentiles," who carry them; and therefore cannot primarily refer to converts among the Gentiles.

(Job 19:25; 14:14; Mt 12:29; Ho 6:2,
where
Isa 49:4
shows the primary reference is to Israel's restoration, to which the resurrection corresponds;
Isa 26:19; Eph 4:8; Heb 2:14, 15).
Others not so well translate, "the captives taken from among the just Israelites."
