以賽亞書 33
1 禍哉，你這不受侵害而侵害人，不受劫掠而劫掠人的人！當你侵害完了，你將遭受別人的侵害；當你劫掠完了，你將遭受別人的劫掠。
Alas! thou plunderer when, thou, hadst not been plundered, And thou traitor when they had not betrayed thee: When thou hast ceased plundering, thou shalt be plundered, When thou hast left off betraying, they shall betray thee.
2 上主啊！憐恤我們罷！我們仰望你，每日清晨，請作我們的臂膊！在窘迫時，請作我們的救援！
O Yahweh! shew us favour, —For thee, have we waited, —Be thou their arm every morning, Yea our salvation in the time of distress.
3 叫囂的聲音一響，民眾遂即逃遁；你一奮起，萬民便都潰散。
At the noise of a tumult, the peoples retreated, —When thou didst lift thyself up, nations were scattered.
4 人們收集掠物，有如拾取蚱蜢；急於劫掠，有如蝗蟲疾跳。
Then shall your spoil be gathered as the gathering of the caterpillar, —As the swift running of locusts, is he about to run upon them.
5 上主是崇高的，因為他居於高處；他以正義和公平充盈了熙雍。
Exalted is Yahweh, for he inhabiteth a height, —He hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 他是你命運的保障，得救的府庫、智慧和明智；敬畏上主， 將是你的寶藏。
So shall a wealth of deliverances, wisdom and knowledge, become the stability of thy times, —the reverence of Yahweh, the same is his treasure.
7 看哪！傳信的的人在外號叫，和平使者悲痛啼哭。
Lo! their heroes, have cried out openly, —the messengers of peace, in bitterness, continue weeping [they say]:
8 大路已經荒廢，行旅已經絕跡。他撕毀了盟約，藐視了證人，不顧及任何人。
The highways are deserted, The passer-by on the path, hath ceased, —He hath broken covenant, He hath despised cities, He hath made no account of men.
9 地域悽慘頹廢，黎巴嫩慚赧憔悴，沙龍變成荒野，巴商和加爾默耳搖曳凋零。
The land mourneth, languisheth, Lebanon, displayeth shame, is withered, —Sharon, hath become, as the waste plain, And Bashan and Carmel are shaking off their leaves.
10 上主說：「現在我要起來，現在我要奮發，現在我要受尊崇！
Now, will I arise, Saith Yahweh, Now, will I lift myself up, Now, will I be exalted!
11 你們所懷的是枯草，所生的是碎湝；我的氣息有如火燄，必將你們焚盡！
Ye shall conceive chaff Ye shall bring forth stubble, —Your own breath, like fire, shall devour you.
12 萬民將被焚燒，有如石灰，又如斬斷的荊棘燬於火中。
So shall peoples, become, as the burnings of lime, —As thorns lopped off, with fire, shall they be burned.
13 遠方的人要聽到我的作為，近處的人要嘗試我的能力！」
Hear—ye that are far off. what I have done, And know—ye that are near my might:
14 熙雍的罪人戰兢害怕，不法之徒為恐懼所攫：「我們中誰能與吞噬的烈火同居﹖我們中誰能與不滅的烈燄共處﹖」
Terror-stricken in Zion, —are sinners, Shuddering hath seized the impious, —Who among us can sojourn with a fire that devoureth? Who among us can sojourn with burnings age-abiding?
15 那行走正道，出言真誠的，鄙棄欺詐入息的，搖手不受賄賂的，充耳不聞流血陰謀的，閉眼不看邪惡的：
He that walketh righteously, And speaketh uprightly, —He that refuseth the gain of exactions That shaketh his hands free from holding a bribe, That stoppeth his ear from hearkening to deeds of blood, And shutteth his eyes from giving countenance to wrong,
16 這樣的人要居高處，巖石上的保壘將作他的保障，他的食物有人供應，他的水可得保全。
He, the heights, shall inhabit, A stronghold of crags, shall be his refuge, —His bread, hath been delivered, His waters, have been made sure,
17 你必要舉目瞻仰具有華美的君王，要遙望幅員廣闊的地帶。
Of a king, in his beauty, shall thine eyes have vision: They shall see a land that stretcheth afar.
18 你的心追憶起已往的恐怖時，要說：「登記的人員在那裏呢﹖量銀的人員在那裏呢﹖數點城堡的人又在那裏呢﹖」
Thy heart, may murmur in terror, —Where is the scribe? Where—the receiver? Where—he that maketh a list of the towers?
19 你再見不到那野蠻的民族，即言語深邃而難以領悟，說話口吃而不易理喻的民族。
The fierce people, shalt thou not see, —The people of too deep a lip to be understood, of too barbarous a tongue for thee to comprehend.
20 你將觀看熙雍，我們集會的城邑；你的眼將見到耶路撒冷，安全的寓所，不動搖的帳幕；她的木樁永不能拔出，她所有的繩索也不能拉斷。
Look thou on Zion, the city of our appointed feast, —Thine own eyes, shall see Jerusalem—A home of comfort A tent which shall not be packed up—Whose pins shall not be pulled out, for ever, And none of, whose cords, shall be broken.
21 榮耀的上主在那裏將作我們的巨川大河，沒有舟楫往來其間，也沒有遊艇划過。
But, there shall Yahweh be our majestic one, A place of rivers—streams broad on both hands, Wherein shall go no galley with oars, Neither shall majestic ship traverse it;
22 它的繩索鬆弛了，沒有穩固桅杆的力量，也沒有扯起船帆的力量。
For, Yahweh is our judge, Yahweh, is our lawgiver, —Yahweh, is our king, He will save us!
23 因為上主是我們的判官，上主是我們的立法者，上主是我們的君王，他必拯救我們。
Loosed are thy ropes, —They cannot strengthen the socket of their mast They have not unfurled a sail Now, can be apportioned spoil, in abundance, The lame, have captured prey!
24 那時，瞎子要分得許多戰利品，瘸子要取得擄獲物。 沒有一個居民再會說：「我病了。」住在那裏的人必將獲得罪赦。
Neither shall the inhabitant say. I am sick, —the people who dwell therein, have been forgiven iniquity.
