故自疇昔、事尚未至、我先宣告、昭示於爾、免爾曰、此乃我之偶像所行、我之雕像鑄像所命、

越在疇昔、事未至、我先言之、俾爾知悉、恐爾以為所鑄之偶像作此。

故在昔時、事未至之先、我預告爾、俾爾聞之、恐爾曰、此我偶像所作、我雕刻鑄造之偶像所命、

Therefore I told you these things long ago; before they happened I announced them to you so that you could not say,‘ My images brought them about; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’

So I told you those things long ago. Before they happened I announced them to you. I did it so you would not be able to say,‘ My statues of gods did them. My wooden and metal gods made them happen.’

I declared them to you from of old, before they came to pass I announced them to you, lest you should say,‘ My idol did them, my carved image and my metal image commanded them.’

That is why I told you what would happen; I told you beforehand what I was going to do. Then you could never say,‘ My idols did it. My wooden image and metal god commanded it to happen!’

therefore I declared to you long ago. I announced it to you before it occurred, so you could not claim,‘ My idol caused them; my carved image and cast idol control them.’

Therefore I declared them to you long ago, Before they took place I proclaimed them to you, So that you would not say,‘ My idol has done them, And my carved image and my cast metal image have commanded them.’

Even from the beginning I have declared it to you; Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you, Lest you should say,‘ My idol has done them, And my carved image and my molded image Have commanded them.’

therefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I showed it thee; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.

therefore I declared to you long ago. I announced it to you before it occurred, so you could not claim,‘ My idol caused them; my carved image and cast idol control them.’

I have even from the beginning declared[ it] to thee; before it came to pass I shewed[ it] thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.

I announced them to you beforehand; before they happened, I predicted them for you, so you could never say,‘ My image did these things, my idol, my cast image, decreed them.’

therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say,‘ My idol has done them. My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’

先前的事，我從前就宣告了，已經從我的口發出了，是由我告知的；我突然行動，事情就成就了。

正如他自古以來藉著聖先知們的口所說的，

這是自古以來，讓人知道這些事的主說的。』

有誰像我呢？讓它前來公布、宣告、陳明那從我設立古時民族以來所發生的事；讓它宣告即將來臨的事和後來要發生的事！

我從起初就宣告末後的事，從古時就宣告尚未成就的事。我說：『我的籌算必成立，我所喜悅的一切，我都必成就。』

我是耶和華，這是我的名；我必不把我的榮耀歸給他者，也不把我當受的讚美歸給雕像。看哪！先前所預言的事已經應驗了，現在我要宣告新的事，在它們還沒有發生之前，我就要告知你們。」
