以賽亞書 26
1 那一天，猶大地要詠唱這首歌曲：「我們有座堅城，以救援作城牆與外郭。
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 你們打開城門，好讓遵守信實的正義民族進去。
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in.
3 你的意志堅定，因而你保全了永久的和平，故此人對你有信賴。
Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]; because he trusteth in thee.
4 你們應永遠信賴上主，因為上主是永固的磐石。
Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, [even] Jehovah, is an everlasting rock.
5 他曾屈服了居高位的人，推翻了高聳的城市，將她推翻在地，使她粉碎，化為塵埃。
For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
6 踐踏她的，卻是困苦人的腳，是貧窮人的腳。」
The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 義人的道路是正直的，你上主啊，削平了正直人的途徑。
The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just.
8 的確，上主！我們在你正義的路上期待你！你的名號，你的記念，是我們心靈的欲望。
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial [name], is the desire of our soul.
9 我們的心靈在夜間渴望你，我們的心神在清晨尋覓你，因為當你的決斷顯於大地時，世上的居民都要學習正義。
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 惡人雖然蒙受了憐憫，仍然不學習正義，在世上依然顛倒是非，毫不顧及上主的威嚴。
Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah.
11 上主！你的手雖已高舉，但他們仍看不見；願他們見到你對百姓的熱忱而感到慚愧；並願你為你仇敵所保留的烈火吞滅他們！
Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see [thy] zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.
12 上主！是你賜與了我們和平，因為凡我們所做的，都是你為我們成就的！
Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us.
13 上主，我們的天主！除你以外，還有別的主宰治理過我們；然而我們所稱揚的，只有你，你的名號。
O Jehovah our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
14 死去的人不會再活，幽魂也不會復生，因為你如此懲罰了，並消滅了他們，使他們所有的記念盡被遺忘。
[They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish.
15 你增加了本國的人民，上主，你增加了本國的人民，你得了光榮，你拓展了國家所有的邊界。
Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.
16 上主 ！我們在困難之中尋求了你，我們在壓迫之中呼求了你，因為那是你對我們的懲罰。
Jehovah, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening was upon them.
17 有如懷妊臨產的婦女，在苦痛中痙攣呻吟；同樣，上主！我們在你面前也是如此：
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been before thee, O Jehovah.
18 我們也像懷妊痙攣；然而所產的竟是風，沒有給大地帶來救恩，世界的居民也未因此而得生。
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 你的亡者將再生，他們的屍體將要起立；睡在塵埃中的人們都要甦醒歌詠，因為你的朝露是晶瑩的朝露，大地將拋出幽靈。
Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
20 我的百姓！去，進入你的內室，關上門，隱藏片刻，等待盛怒過去。
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 因為，看哪！上主已由自己的地方出來懲罰大地居民的罪惡，大地要暴露自己吞下的鮮血，不再遮掩被殺的人。
For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
