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 layeth [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
2 而進入安息；躬行正直的人，將安眠於自己的處所。
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.
3 巫女的兒子，姦婦淫女的後裔，你們近前來！
But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and 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，
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, [and] draw 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﹖
Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts 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 stream [is] thy portion; they, they [are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort 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。
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up 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。
Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered [thyself to another] than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest [it].
And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase [thyself even] unto 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 art wearied in the greatness of thy way; [yet] saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
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 hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid [it] to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
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 thy works; for 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 criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take [them: ] but he that putteth his trust 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 shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock 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 saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
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 for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls [which] 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 was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly 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 unto 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 that is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; 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, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 我的天主說：惡人決無平安！
[There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
