After a deluge of sin and misery, behold the bow in the cloud.
在罪恶和痛苦的洪流之后，看哪，云中的彩虹已然显现。
The Lord God has made and established a new covenant, and this it is that has cast the first beam on the dark state of lost and fallen man, and has brought life and immortality to light.
主耶和华已立下并确立了一份新约，正是这新约投下了第一道光芒，照亮那迷失堕落之人幽暗的境地，并显明了生命与不朽。
This covenant is the hope of sinners, the riches of saints, the Magna Carta of the city of God:
此新约乃是罪人的盼望，圣徒的财富，神之城的《大宪章》(Magna Carta)。
the forfeited lease of eternity renewed;
那被丧失的永恒之契约得以更新；
God’s deed of gift, wherein he has, on fair conditions, granted sinners their lives,
这是神的恩赐之契，祂以公平的条件赐给罪人生命，
and settled upon his saints an everlasting inheritance.
并将永恒的基业赐予祂的圣徒。
Hear, you forlorn captives, who have sold yourselves to eternal bondage, spoiled yourselves of all your glory, sealed yourselves up under everlasting misery.
听啊，你们这些绝望的囚徒！你们已将自己卖入永恒的捆绑之中，剥夺了自己一切荣耀，将自己封入永远的痛苦之中。
You are dead in your sins, guilty before God, under wrath, under a curse, bound over to eternal vengeance.
你们在罪中死了，在神面前是有罪的，处在祂的忿怒之下、咒诅之下，被交付于永恒的报应之中。
But behold, there is yet hope in Israel concerning this thing; the Lord God has had compassion upon you, has opened a way for you to escape out of all this misery and bondage.
然而，看哪！在以色列还有盼望；主耶和华已怜悯你们，为你们开了一条路，使你们得以脱离这一切的痛苦与捆绑。
Lift up the hands that hang down, strengthen the trembling knees: an ark, an ark has God prepared, in which is salvation from the flood;
举起那垂下的手，坚固那发抖的膝盖：一只方舟，一只方舟，神已为你预备；其中有拯救，脱离洪水之灾。
A Covenant, A New Covenant has he made and established, which, if you lay hold on it, will recover all you have lost, ransom you from death,
一份立约，一份新约，祂已设立并确立；若你抓住它，便会取回你所失去的一切，从死亡中将你赎回，
redeem you from Hell, and advance you to a more sure and blessed condition than your original state from which you have fallen.
从地狱中将你救赎，并使你进入一个更确定且蒙福的状态，比你堕落之前的原初状态更为美好。
This is the hope of sinners; this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.
这就是罪人的盼望；这就是主仆人的基业。
Glorious tidings, good news indeed!
这是荣耀的佳音，的确是好消息！
But what is this covenant? Or what is there that is given and granted therein?
但这新约是什么呢？或是，在其中赐与和允诺了什么呢？
Why, in sum, there is all that Heaven and earth can afford, all that can be needed or desired;
总而言之，天上地上一切可以给予之物，一切可以需要或渴求之物都在其中！
and this, by a firm and irrevocable deed, made over, and made sure to all who will sincerely embrace it.
这一切，借着一份坚定且不可撤回的契约，赐给并确立在所有真诚接受它的人身上。
Particularly, God has in his covenant granted and made over Himself; his Son; his Spirit; the earth;
尤其是，神在祂的约中赐下并赋予了祂自己；祂的儿子；祂的灵；这地；
the angels of light; the powers of darkness; death; the kingdom—all the means of salvation.
光明的天使；黑暗的权势；死亡；国度——一切救恩的途径。
