以賽亞書 1
1 在烏齊雅、約堂、阿哈次和希則克雅為猶大王時，阿摩茲的兒子依撒意亞，關於猶大和耶路撒冷所見的異象如下：
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 諸天，請諦聽！大地，請側耳！ 因為上主有話說：「我把孩子撫養長大，他們竟背叛了我 ！
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 牛認識自己的主人，驢也認識自己主人的槽，以色列卻毫不知情，我的百姓卻一點不懂。」
The ox knoweth his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 禍哉，犯罪的民族，惡貫滿盈的百姓，作惡的後裔，敗壞的子孫！他們離棄了上主，蔑視了以色列的聖者，轉身背棄了他。
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are gone away backward.
5 你們為什麼還繼續叛逆，再遭受打擊呢﹖整個頭已患了病，整個心已經焦悴；
Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 從腳掌直到頭頂已體無完膚，盡是創痍、傷痕和新的傷口；沒有擠淨，沒有包紮，也沒有軟膏滋潤。
From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 你們的地區變成荒蕪，你們的城市被火燒盡，你們面前的莊田被異民吞併，變成一片荒涼，宛如索多瑪的廢墟；
Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, foreigners devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.
8 僅存的熙雍女兒，有如葡萄園裏的茅舍，胡瓜園中的草廬，被圍困著的城市。
And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 若非萬軍的上主給我們留下些許殘餘，我們早已如同索多瑪，相似哈摩辣了。
Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah.
10 索多瑪的統治者，請聽上主的話！哈摩辣的百姓，請聽天主的訓示：「
Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 你們為什麼向我奉獻那麼多的犧牲﹖－－上主說：我已飽饜了公羊的燔祭和肥犢的脂膏；牛犢、羔羊和山羊的血我已不喜歡；
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
12 你們來見我的面時，誰向你們要求了這些東西﹖這簡直是蹂躪我的殿院。
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 不要再奉獻無謂的祭品！馨香已為我所憎惡，月朔、安息日、集會、齋戒和盛大的宴會，我已都不能容受。
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 我的心痛恨你們的月朔和你們的慶節，它們為我是種累贅，使我忍無可忍。
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble to me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 你們伸出手時，我必掩目不看；你們行大祈禱時，我決不俯聽，因為你們的手染滿了血！
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 你們應該洗滌，應該自潔，從我眼前革除你們的惡行，停止作孽，
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17 學習行善，尋求正義，責斥壓迫人的人，為孤兒伸冤，為寡婦辯護。
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 現在你們來，讓我們互相辯論－－上主說：你們的罪雖似朱紅，將變成雪一樣的潔白；雖紅得發紫，仍能變成羊毛一樣的皎潔。
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 假使你們樂意服從，你們將享用地上的美物；
If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 假使你們拒絕反抗，你們將為刀劍所吞滅。」這是上主親口說的。
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
21 忠貞的城邑，怎麼變成了蕩婦！ 昔日充滿著正義，寄居著公平的，現今卻住滿了謀殺的兇手！
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22 你的銀子變成了渣滓，你的美酒攙和了水份；
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23 你的首領謀反作亂，成了盜賊的幫兇；他們都愛好賄賂，索取報酬，不為孤兒伸冤，不受理寡婦的訴訟。
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth bribes, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come to them.
24 因此吾主，萬軍的上主，以色列的大能者說：「哎！我必向我的敵人雪恨，我必向我的仇人復仇。
Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will rid myself of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies:
25 我必向你伸出我的手，用爐火煉盡你的渣滓，除去你所有的鉛錫。
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
26 我要使你的民長復興如初；使你的參謀恢復如初；以後你將被稱為正義的城市，忠貞的城邑。」
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 熙雍將因正直獲得救贖，她的居民將因正義蒙受救恩；
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
28 然而惡人和罪人必將一同滅亡，背棄上主的人必要滅絕。
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
29 你們必因你們所喜愛的橡樹而蒙羞，必因你們所選擇的花園而慚愧；
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 你們將變成一棵落葉的橡樹，一座無水的花園。
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 強者將似麻絮，他的工作猶如火花：二者必要同時焚燒，無人予以熄滅。
And the strong shall be as a wick, and its maker as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
