以賽亞書 57
1 義人死去，沒有人放在心上；虔誠的人被收去，沒有人予以注意：義人被接去，是為了脫離災難，
The righteous man perishes, and no man lays it to heart. And merciful men are taken away; none considering that the righteous man is taken away from the evil.
2 而進入安息；躬行正直的人，將安眠於自己的處所。
He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
3 巫女的兒子，姦婦淫女的後裔，你們近前來！
But draw near here, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
4 你們戲謔誰呢﹖你們向誰張口吐舌呢﹖不是你們這些反叛的兒子，不忠的後裔，
Against whom do ye sport yourselves, against whom ye make a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
5 在橡樹林中，在一切綠樹下慾火中燒；在山谷中，在磐石的夾縫裏祭殺嬰兒嗎﹖
ye who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree, who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6 山谷中的光石竟是你的家產，它們竟成了你的產業；並且你還給它們奠了酒，獻了供物，對這些事我豈能容忍﹖
Among the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion. They, they are thy lot, even to them thou have poured a drink offering; thou have offered an oblation. Shall I be appeased for these things?
7 在巍峨高聳的山上，你安置了你的床榻，並且上那裏去奉獻犧牲。
Upon a high and lofty mountain thou have set thy bed. Thou also went up there to offer sacrifice.
8 你在門和門框後安置了你的記號，瞞著我裸體上了床，舖開了你的床榻，你喜歡與誰同寢，便與他茍合，且看了他的手。
And behind the doors and the posts thou have set up thy memorial. For thou have uncovered thyself to another than me, and have gone up. Thou have enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them. Thou loved their bed where thou saw it.
And thou went to the king with oil, and increased thy perfumes, and sent thine ambassadors far off, and debased thyself even to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 你因路途遙遠，已感疲倦，但總不說：「絕望了！」因為你找著了你新生的力量，所以你不覺困乏。
Thou were wearied with the length of thy way, yet thou did not say, It is in vain. Thou found a quickening of thy strength, therefore thou were not faint.
11 你害怕誰，畏懼誰，竟使你失去忠信，而不懷念我，不關心我﹖難道因為我久不作聲，你就不怕我了嗎﹖
And of whom have thou been afraid and in fear, that thou lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? Have I not held my peace even of long time, and thou do not fear me?
12 我要披露你的義舉，以及與你毫無裨益的行為。
I will declare thy righteousness. And as for thy works, they shall not profit thee.
13 當你呼求時，讓你那一夥救你罷！但是一陣風要把它們全部捲走，一口氣要把他們吹去。唯有那依賴我的，將承受地業，繼承我的聖山。
When thou cry, let those whom thou have gathered deliver thee. But the wind shall take them; a breath shall carry them all away. But he who takes refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
14 有個聲音說：「修路，修路！把路修平，把我民族道路上的障礙除去！」
And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way. Take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.
15 因為至高者，卓越者，居於永遠者，名為聖者的這樣說：「我雖居於高處及聖所，但我也與懺悔和心靈謙卑的人在一起，為振奮謙卑者的心情，甦醒懺悔者的心靈。
For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 我不願永遠爭辯，也不願永久發怒，因為生氣是由我而出，靈魂是由我而造。
For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry, for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.
17 因了她的罪惡我一時發怒，打擊了她，在怒氣中掩住我的面；可是她仍背叛，走她隨心所欲的道路。
For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and smote him. I hid my face and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
18 我看見了她的行為，我要醫治她，我要引她回來，將安慰賜給她和她的憂傷者。
I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
19 在他們的口唇上安放讚頌之辭：「平安，平安歸於遠近的人 ！」上主說。【我要醫好她。】
I create the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near, says Jehovah, and I will heal him.
20 但惡人將如翻騰的大海，不能平息，它的海浪捲起黃土與淤泥。
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 我的天主說：惡人決無平安！
There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
