以賽亞書 30
1 禍哉，悖逆的子民－－上主的斷語！他們自作主張，不請示於我；自訂盟約，不依照我的精神，致使罪上加罪。
Woe [to] apostate sons, A declaration of YHWH! To do counsel, and not from Me, And to spread out a covering, and not of My Spirit, So as to add sin to sin.
2 他們沒有請求我的許可，便起程南下埃及，想託庇於法郎的保障之下，想隱匿於埃及的蔭庇之下。
Who are walking to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My mouth, To be strong in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt.
3 但是法郎的保障將是你們的羞恥，隱匿於埃及的蔭庇之下，將是一種污辱。
And the strength of Pharaoh Has been to you for shame, And the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion,
4 雖然他的首領已在左罕，他的使者已到達哈乃斯；
For his princes were in Zoan, And his messengers reach Hanes.
5 但是他們都要因這於他們毫無裨益的民族而受到羞慚，因為這民族為他們不但毫無幫助，毫無益處，反而是一種羞恥和污辱。
He made all ashamed of a people that do not profit, Not for help, and not for profit, But for shame, and also for reproach!
6 他們以牲畜帶著貴物經過南方－－殘酷苦痛的地域，即壯獅和牝獅咆哮，蝮蛇和火蛇飛行的地域－－驢背上駝著他們的財富，駱駝背上駝著他們的寶物，到一個於他們毫無裨益的民族那裏去。
The burden of the beasts of the south. Into a land of adversity and distress, Of young lion and of old lion, From where [are] viper and flying, burning serpent, They carry their wealth on the shoulder of donkeys, And their treasures on the hump of camels, To a people not profitable.
7 埃及人的援助是無用的，是空虛的，因此我稱呼她是「靜坐的辣哈布。」
Indeed, Egyptians [are] vanity, and help in vain, Therefore I have cried concerning this: “Their strength [is] to sit still.”
8 你現在去，當他們面前，寫在版上，記在書中，為後世作證據：「
No, go in, write it on a tablet with them, And inscribe it on a scroll, And it is for a latter day, for a witness for all time,
9 這是一個反叛的民族，不忠實的子女，拒絕聽從上主法律的子民。」
That this [is] a people of rebellion, sons—liars, Sons not willing to hear the Law of YHWH.
10 他們曾對先見者說：「你們不要再看異象。」對先知說：「你們不要給我們說什麼預言，給我們說些好聽的話，預示些幻想故事罷！
Who have said to seers, “Do not see,” And to prophets, “Do not prophesy to us straightforward things, Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,
11 離開你們的正道罷！轉移你們的路線罷！在我們面前不要再提以色列的聖者！」
Turn aside from the way, Decline from the path, Cause the Holy One of Israel To cease from before us.”
12 因此，以色列的聖者這樣說：「因為你們藐視了這話，而依賴邪說謬論，且傾心信賴；
Therefore, thus said the Holy One of Israel: “Because of your kicking against this word, And you trust in oppression, And perverseness, and rely on it,
13 所以這罪惡，為你們將如一堵高牆上突起而將倒下的缺口，頃刻之間就會突然坍塌，
Therefore this iniquity is to you as a breach falling, Swelled out in a wall set on high, Whose destruction comes suddenly, in an instant.
14 坍塌得有如毫不痛惜地被摔碎的陶器，碎得找不到一塊碎片，能用以從爐中取火，從井裏取水。」
And He has broken it As the breaking of the potters’ bottle, Beaten down—He does not spare, Nor is there found, in its beating down, A potsherd to take fire from the burning, And to draw out waters from a ditch.”
15 因為吾主上主，以色列的聖者這樣說過：「你們的得救是在於歸依和安靜，你們的力量是在於寧靜和信賴。」然而你們不願意；
For thus said Lord YHWH, The Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you are saved, In keeping quiet and in confidence is your might,” And you have not been willing.
16 你們反說：「不！我們要騎馬逃去！」的確，你們必要逃去。「我們要乘駿馬疾馳。」的確，追擊你們的必然疾馳。
And you say, “No, for we flee on a horse,” Therefore you flee, And, “We ride on the swift!” Therefore your pursuers are swift.
17 千人要逃避一人的叱咋，萬人要逃避五人的叱咋，直到你們所剩餘的，有如山頂上的木杆，或山嶺上的旗幟。
One thousand [flee] because of the rebuke of one, Because of the rebuke of five you flee, Until you have surely been left as a pole On the top of the mountain, And as an ensign on the height.
18 然而上主仍舊等著向你們施惠，仍高興向你們表示憐愛，因為上主是正義的天主，凡仰賴他的人是有福的。
And therefore YHWH waits to favor you, And therefore He is exalted to pity you, For YHWH [is] a God of judgment, O the blessedness of all waiting for Him.
19 熙雍的百姓，耶路撒冷的居民啊 ！你不會再慟哭，他必垂憐你呼求的聲音，他一聽見必要應允你。
For the people in Zion dwell in Jerusalem, Do not weep—weeping, Pitying, He pities you at the voice of your cry, When He hears He answers you.
20 吾主縱然給你們困苦的食物和酸辛的水，但你的教師再不躲藏，你的眼睛必能常見到你的教師。
And the Lord has given to you bread of adversity, And water of oppression. And your teachers remove no longer, And your eyes have seen your teachers,
21 當你偏左或偏右時，你必會親耳聽到你後面有聲音說：「這是正路，你們要在這上面行！」
And your ear hears a word behind you, saying, “This [is] the way, go in it,” When you turn to the right, And when you turn to the left.
22 你必以那包銀的木偶和包金的神像為不潔之物，將它們拋棄，有如拋棄月經布一樣，並對它說：「去罷！」
And you have defiled the covering of Your carved images of silver, And the ephod of your molten image of gold, You scatter them as a sickening thing, “Go out,” you say to it.
23 你把種子種在地裏，上主必使雨降在其上，並使你地裏出產的食糧豐盛富饒；那一日你的群畜必將在廣闊的草場上牧放。
And He has given rain [for] your seed, With which you sow the ground, And bread, the increase of the ground, And it has been fat and plentiful, Your livestock enjoy an enlarged pasture in that day.
24 耕田的牛和驢駒必吃用木杴或簸箕揚淨而拌上鹽的芻料。
And the oxen and the young donkeys serving the ground, Eat fermented provender, That one is winnowing with shovel and fan.
25 大行慘殺之日，當保樓倒塌之時，所有的高山峻嶺必有溪水涓涓細流。
And there has been on every high mountain, And on every exalted hill, Streams—conduits of waters, In a day of much slaughter, in the falling of towers.
26 當上主包紮他百姓的創口，治療他們傷痕的那日，月亮的光華將似太陽的光華，而太陽的光華必增加七倍，有如積累了七天的光華。
And the light of the moon has been as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun is sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day of YHWH’s binding up the breach of His people, When He heals the stroke of its wound.
27 看哪！上主的名由遠方而來，他怒火如焚，濃煙衝天；他的口唇滿了敵愾，他的舌頭有如吞噬的火燄；
Behold, the Name of YHWH is coming from far, His anger is burning, and the flame [is] great, His lips have been full of indignation, And His tongue [is] as a devouring fire.
28 他的氣息如氾濫的河川，漲到人的頸項；他要用盪滅的篩子篩淨列國，用引入歧途的馬勒拑住萬民的下顎。
And His breath [is] as an overflowing stream, It divides to the neck, To sift nations with a sieve of vanity, And a bridle causing to err, [Is] on the jaws of the peoples.
29 你們必要謳歌，有如歡祝慶節之夜；內心愉快，有如在笛聲之下登上主的山，到以色列的磐石那裏去一樣。
Singing is to you as in a night sanctified for a festival, And joy of heart as he who is going with a pipe, To go to the mountain of YHWH, To the rock of Israel.
30 上主必使人聽見他尊嚴的聲音，見到他降臨的手臂，在狂怒之中，在吞噬的火燄中，在狂風、暴雨、冰雹之中。
And YHWH has caused The splendor of His voice to be heard, And the coming down of His arm He shows with the raging of anger, And the flame of a consuming fire, Scattering, and inundation, and hailstone.
31 亞述必因上主的聲音而戰慄，上主必用刑杖擊打亞述。
For from the voice of YHWH Asshur [is] broken down, He strikes with a rod.
32 當上主懲戒的刑杖加於他們身上時，每次擊撻都是在敲鼓和彈琴的聲中執行的。他將以激烈的戰爭擊敗他們。
And every passage of the settled staff, That YHWH causes to rest on him, Has been with tambourines and with harps, And in battles of shaking He has fought with it.
33 因為托斐特已準備好多時，還是為君王而設的，又深又廣，堆滿了許多柴火；上主的氣 息有如一條硫磺河流，把它點燃起來。
For Tophet is arranged from former time, Even it is prepared for the king, He has made deep, He has made large, Its pile [is] fire and much wood, The breath of YHWH, As a stream of brimstone, is burning in it!
