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 has perished, And there is none laying [it] to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any considering that from the face of evil The righteous one is gathered.
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 on their beds, [Each] is going straightforward.
3 巫女的兒子，姦婦淫女的後裔，你們近前來！
“And you, come near here, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, Even you commit whoredom.
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 you sport yourselves? Against whom do you enlarge the mouth [And] prolong the tongue? Are you not children of transgression? A false seed?
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﹖
Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under 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﹖
Your portion [is] among the smooth things of a brook, They [are] your lot, You have also poured out an oblation to them, You have caused a present to ascend, Am I comforted in 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。
On a mountain, high and exalted, You have set your bed, You have also gone up there to make a 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 door, and the post, You have set up your memorial, For you have removed from Me, and go up, You have enlarged your bed, And cut [a covenant] with them, You have loved their bed, the station you saw,
And go joyfully to the king in ointment, And multiply your perfumes, And send your ambassadors far off, And humble yourself 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。
You have labored in the greatness of your way, You have not said, It is desperate. You have found the life of your hand, Therefore you have not been sick.
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 you been afraid, and fear, That you lie, and have not remembered Me? You have not laid [it] to your heart, Am I not silent, even from of old? And you 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 declare your righteousness, and your works, And they do not profit you.
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 you cry, let your gatherings deliver you, And wind carries all of them away, Vanity takes away, And whoever is trusting in Me inherits the land, And possesses 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 has said, “Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a 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 said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and His Name [is] holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised 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 do not strive for all time, nor am I angry forever, For the spirit is feeble before Me, And the souls 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 dishonest gain, I have been angry, and I strike him, Hiding—and am angry, And he goes on turning back 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 I heal him, indeed, I lead him, And repay comforts to him and to his mourning ones.
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。】
Producing the fruit of the lips, Peace, peace, to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him,” said YHWH.
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。
And the wicked [are] as the driven out sea, For it is not able to rest, And its waters cast out filth and mire.
21 我的天主說：惡人決無平安！
“There is no peace,” said my God, “for the wicked!”
