以賽亞書 3
1 看啊！主，萬軍的上主，將奪去耶路撒冷和猶大的支柱和依靠，【各種食糧的供應和水的供應：】
For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
2 勇將和戰士，判官和先知，占卜者和長老，
The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 五十夫長和顯貴，謀士、機警的術士和巧言的咒師。
The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 他將使青年人作他們的首領，使頑童管治他們；
And I will give children [to be] their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 百姓將互相壓搾，彼此殘害；幼童欺凌老翁，賤者虐待貴人。
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6 那時，人要抓著自己家族裏的一個弟兄說：「你還有一件外衣，你可作我們的領袖，這廢墟即屬於你手下。」
When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, [saying], Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and [let] this ruin [be] under thy hand:
7 那一日，這人必要大聲回答說：「我不是個醫生，我家裏沒有糧食，也沒有外衣，不要立我作百姓的首領！」
In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house [is] neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8 耶路撒冷傾覆了，猶大崩潰了，因為他們的口舌和行為都與上主作對，使他光輝的眼目冒火。
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings [are] against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 他們的厚顏已在指責他們，他們像索多瑪一樣揭示了自己的邪惡，而毫不隱瞞；這些人是有禍的，因為他們為自己招致了災禍。
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide [it] not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10 你們要說：「義人是有福的，因為他們必享受自己行為的善果。
Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him: ] for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 禍哉作惡的人！他必遭災禍，因為他手中的作為必回報於他！」
Woe unto the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him: ] for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 至於我的百姓：孩童要壓搾他們，婦女要管轄他們。我的百姓啊！領導你的，領你走錯了路，混亂了你行徑的路途。
[As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause [thee] to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 上主要站起來審判，立著審判他的百姓。
The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14 上主要開庭審訊他百姓的長老和領袖：「是你們侵吞了我的葡萄園，窩藏了由窮人那裏勒索來的物件；
The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor [is] in your houses.
15 你們為什麼壓搾我的百姓，折磨窮人的臉面﹖」－－吾主，萬軍上主的斷語。
What mean ye [that] ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
16 上主說：因為熙雍的女子趾高氣揚，走路挺直頸項，媚眼惑人，行路裝腔作勢，腳步鈴鈴作響，
Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing [as] they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 吾主必使熙雍女子的頭頂生長毒瘡，上主必揭露她們的恥辱。
Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
18 那一日，吾主必要剝奪她們的裝飾：踝環、圓環、月牙環、
In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of [their] tinkling ornaments [about their feet], and [their] cauls, and [their] round tires like the moon,
19 耳環、手鐲和面紗，
The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 帽巾、腳鍊、領帶、香盒、符籐、
The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 戒指、鼻環、
The rings, and nose jewels,
22 禮服、斗蓬、披肩、手袋、
The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 面罩、襯衫、頭巾和夏衣。
The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 必有腥臭代替馨香，繩索代替腰帶，禿頭代替鬟髻，苦衣代替胸衣，烙印代替美麗。
And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; [and] burning instead of beauty.
25 你的男子要倒於刀下，你的勇士要死於戰場！
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 熙雍的城門將慟哭哀悼，熙雍將悽涼地坐於地上。
And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she [being] desolate shall sit upon the ground.
