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 perisheth, and no man considereth it in heart: and mercifull men are taken away, and no man vnderstandeth that the righteous is taken away from the euill to come.
2 而進入安息；躬行正直的人，將安眠於自己的處所。
Peace shall come: they shall rest in their beds, euery one that walketh before him.
3 巫女的兒子，姦婦淫女的後裔，你們近前來！
But you witches children, come hither, the seede of the adulterer and of the whore.
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，
On whome haue ye iested? vpon whome haue ye gaped and thrust out your tongue? are not ye rebellious children, and a false seede?
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﹖
Inflamed with idoles vnder euery greene tree? and sacrificing the children in the valleys vnder the tops 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﹖
Thy portion is in the smooth stones of the riuer: they, they are thy lot: euen to them hast thou powred a drinke offering: thou hast offered a sacrifice. Should I delite in these?
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。
Thou hast made thy bed vpon a very hie mountaine: thou wentest vp thither, euen thither wentest thou 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。
Behinde the doores also and postes hast thou set vp thy remembrance: for thou hast discouered thy selfe to another then me, and wentest vp, and diddest enlarge thy bed, and make a couenant betweene thee and them, and louedst their bed in euery place where thou sawest it.
Thou wentest to the Kings with oyle, and diddest increase thine oyntments and sende thy messengers farre off, and diddest humble thy selfe vnto hell. (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 weariedst thy selfe in thy manifolde iourneys, yet saydest thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found life by thine hand, therefore thou wast not grieued.
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 whome diddest thou reuerence or feare, seeing thou hast lyed vnto me, and hast not remembred me, neither set thy minde thereon? is it not because I holde my peace, and that of long time? therefore thou fearest not 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 righteousnes and thy workes, and they shall not profite 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 cryest, let them that thou hast gathered together deliuer thee: but the winde shall take them all away: vanitie shall pull them away: but he that trusteth in me, shall inherite the lande, and shall possesse mine holy Mountaine.
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 shall say, Cast vp, cast vp: prepare the way: take vp the stumbling blocks 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 sayth he that is hie and excellent, he that inhabiteth the eternitie, whose Name is the Holy one, I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirite to reuiue the spirite of the humble, and to giue life to them that are of a contrite heart.
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 contende for euer, neither will I be alwayes wroth, for the spirite should fayle before me: and I haue made the breath.
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 his wicked couetousnesse I am angry with him, and haue smitten him: I hid mee and was angry, yet he went away, and turned after the way of his owne 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 haue seene his wayes, and wil heale him: I wil leade him also, and restore comfort vnto him, and to those that lament him.
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 fruite of the lips, to be peace: peace vnto them that are farre off, and to them that are neere, sayth the Lord: for I will heale 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 raging sea, that can not rest, whose waters cast vp myre and dirt.
21 我的天主說：惡人決無平安！
There is no peace, sayth my God, to the wicked.
