以賽亞書 10
1 禍哉，那些制定不義的法例，記錄不義的斷案，
Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees
2 為屈枉小民的案件，剝削我窮民的權利，攘奪寡婦和劫掠孤兒的人！
to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
3 當懲罰之日，風暴由遠而近的時候，你們將怎樣應付﹖你們將向誰求助﹖你們的財寶將棄於何地﹖
What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
4 唯有屈伏在被俘者中，倒斃在被殺者下；然而他的震怒並未因此而熄滅，他的手仍然伸著。
They will only bow down under the prisoners, and will fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 禍哉，亞述！我義怒的木棒，我震怒的棍杖！
Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!
6 我派遣她是為攻擊一個邪惡的百姓，我委任他是為攻擊我所憤恨的民族，為擄掠劫奪，並為蹂躪他們，有如街上的糞土。
I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me I will give him a command to take the plunder and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 但她並沒有這樣想，心裏也沒有這樣推測，只圖肆意破壞，剿滅不少的民族。
However, he does not mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.
8 因為她說：「我的首領不都是君王嗎﹖
For he says, “Are not all of my princes kings?
9 加耳諾不是與與加革米士一樣嗎﹖哈瑪特不是與阿爾帕得一樣嗎﹖撒瑪黎雅不是與大馬士革一樣嗎﹖
Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?”
10 我的手既然征服了這些偶像的王國－－況且他們的偶像還多過耶路撒冷和撒瑪黎雅－－
As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of Samaria,
11 難道我不能對待耶路撒冷和她的神像，有如對待了撒瑪黎雅和她的偶像嗎﹖」
shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12 當吾主對熙雍山和耶路撒冷完成了他的一切工作時，必要懲罰亞述王心高氣傲的功績，和他目空一切的驕傲。
Therefore it will happen that when the Lord has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his arrogant looks.
13 因為他曾說過：「我完成了這一切，全憑我的手和我的智慧，因為我是聰明的；我撤除了各民族的界限，擄掠了他們的財寶，有如強者打倒了居於高位的人。
For he has said, “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding. I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.
14 我的手奪取了列國的財富，有如取諸窩巢；我兼併了大地，有如拾取遺卵，沒有誰敢鼓翼和張口鼓噪。」
My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, I have gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped.”
15 斧頭豈能對用斧頭砍伐的人自豪﹖鋸豈能向拉鋸的人自誇﹖難道棍杖能揮動那舉它的人﹖木棒能舉起那不是木頭的人﹖
Should an ax brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.
16 因此吾主，萬軍的天主，將瘦弱放在她的肥碩之中，在她的光輝之下燃起火燄，有如烈火焚燒。
Therefore the Lord, GOD of Armies, will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.
17 以色列的光將變為火，他的聖者將變為烈燄，一日間即將她的荊棘蒺藜焚燬。
The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
18 她的叢林和她田園的華麗，必將由內到外毀滅，有如為蟲蝕盡一樣。
He will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.
19 她的叢林所剩餘的樹木不多，一個兒童就能計算。
The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number.
20 到那一日，以色列的遺民和雅各伯家的逃亡者，不再依恃打擊他們的人，卻誠心依賴上主，以色列的聖者。
It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 遺民必將歸回，雅各伯的遺民必將歸依強有力的天主！
A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
22 以色列啊！ 你的百姓雖然多如海沙，其中唯有殘存者得以歸回：毀滅已經決定，但是充溢著公義，
For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
23 因為吾主，萬軍的上主必在大地上執行所決定的毀滅。
For the Lord, GOD of Armies, will make a full end, and that determined, throughout all the earth.
24 因此吾主，萬軍的上主這樣說：我的百姓，熙雍的居民！亞述雖然用木棒痛擊你，像埃及一樣，舉起棍杖敲打你，但你不必害怕，
Therefore the Lord, GOD of Armies, says, “My people who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt did.
25 因為瞬息間我的怒氣即將終止，我的憤怒將轉為他們的毀滅。
For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction.”
26 萬軍的上主將揮動刑鞭鞭打他們，有如昔日在曷勒布磐石處打擊米德楊一樣；高舉向海上伸出的棍杖，有如在埃及一樣。
The LORD of Armies will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt.
27 到那日，她的重負將由你肩上卸下，她的重軛將由你頸上解除。
It will happen in that day that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
28 破壞者由黎孟而來，來到阿雅特，經過米革龍，將輜重貯在米革瑪斯；
He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage.
29 又穿過要隘，夜宿革巴。辣瑪驚慌了，撒烏耳的基貝亞逃走了。
They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 巴特加林！你們應大聲疾呼；拉依士！你們應該傾聽；阿納托特！你們應該回答。
Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! Listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!
31 瑪德默納走散了，革平的居民逃避了。
Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 在諾布暫停一天，遂即揮手指向熙雍女兒山，耶路撒冷的山崗。
This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 看啊！吾主，萬軍的上主將用斧鉞砍伐枝幹：高出的要削去，聳出的要砍低。
Behold, the Lord, GOD of Armies, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 他將用鐵斧砍伐叢林，黎巴嫩和她的壯麗必被伐倒。
He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
