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 they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
2 你們打開城門，好讓遵守信實的正義民族進去。
Open ye the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
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。
supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on thee, O Lord,
4 你們應永遠信賴上主，因為上主是永固的磐石。
they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
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。
who hast humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, thou shalt cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
6 踐踏她的，卻是困苦人的腳，是貧窮人的腳。」
And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
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 godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
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。
For the way of the Lord is judgment: we have hoped in thy name, and on the remembrance [of thee],
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。
which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks thee very early in the morning, O God, for thy commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, ye that dwell upon the earth.
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。
For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.
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！
O Lord, thine arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the 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！
O Lord our God, give us peace: for thou hast rendered to us all things.
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 Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside thee: we name 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。
But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore thou hast brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and hast taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
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。
bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
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。
Lord, in affliction I remembered thee; thy chastening was to us with small affliction.
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：
And as a woman in travail draws nigh to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to thy beloved.
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 conceived, O Lord, because of thy fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
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。
The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from thee is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
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。
Go, my people, enter into thy closets, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
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, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
