以賽亞書 65
1 從未求問我的，我要讓他尋求我；從未尋找我的，我要讓他找到我；我對那從未稱呼我名的民族說：「看，我在這裏！我在這裏！」
I have been inquired of by those who asked not, I have been found by those who sought Me not, I have said, 'Behold Me, behold Me,' Unto a nation not calling in My name.
2 我整天向悖逆的民族，即隨自己的思念走邪辟路的人，伸出我的手。
I have spread out My hands all the day Unto an apostate people, Who are going in the way not good after their own thoughts.
3 這民族時常在我面前惹我發怒，在園中獻祭，在磚台上焚香；
The people who are provoking Me to anger, To My face continually, Sacrificing in gardens, and making perfume on the bricks:
4 他們住在墳墓內，宿在隱密處，吃豬肉，在他們的器皿中都是些不潔之物，
Who are dwelling among sepulchres, And lodge in reserved places, Who are eating flesh of the sow, And a piece of abominable things — their vessels.
5 他們還對人說：「站遠點，別靠近我，怕我聖潔了你。」這些事真叫我鼻子冒煙，整日冒火。
Who are saying, 'Keep to thyself, come not nigh to me, For I have declared thee unholy.' These [are] a smoke in Mine anger, A fire burning all the day.
6 看哪！這一切已在我面前寫定；我決不緘默，我非報復不可。
Lo, it is written before Me: 'I am not silent, but have recompensed; And I have recompensed into their bosom,
7 我要一起報復他們的罪惡和他們祖先的罪惡：上主說。因為他們在山上燒過香，在丘陵上褻謾過我，所以我要量好他們應得的報酬，報應到他們的懷中。
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, said Jehovah, Who have made perfume on the mountains, And on the heights have reproached Me, And I have measured their former work into their bosom.'
8 上主這樣說：「就如當人發現葡萄內尚有酒汁時，就說：不要破壞它，因為裏面還有祝福；我為了我的僕人也要這樣作，不將他們完全消滅。
Thus said Jehovah: As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one hath said, 'Destroy it not for a blessing [is] in it,' So I do for My servants' sake, not to destroy the whole.
9 我要使雅各伯生出苗裔，使猶大生出繼承我山的人；我的選民要以她為業，我的僕人要住在那裏。
And I have brought out from Jacob a seed, And from Judah a possessor of My mount, And possess it do My chosen ones, And My servants do dwell there.
10 為那尋求我的百姓，沙龍將成為羊群的牧場，阿苛爾山谷為那尋求我的百姓，要成為牛群的棲所。」「
And Sharon hath been for the habitation of a flock, And the valley of Achor for the lying down of a herd, For My people who have sought Me.
11 至於你們這些離棄上主，忘記我的聖山，為加得神設宴，給默尼神注滿調和的酒的人，
And ye [are] those forsaking Jehovah, Who are forgetting My holy mountain, Who are setting in array for Gad a table, And who are filling for Meni a mixture.
12 我注定了你們歸於刀下，你們要屈身受戮；因為我喊叫你們，你們沒有回答；我說話，你們不肯聽，反而去行我視為惡的事，揀選我所不喜歡的事。」
And I have numbered you for the sword, And all of you for slaughter bow down, Because I called, and ye have not answered, I have spoken, and ye have not hearkened, And ye do the evil thing in Mine eyes, And on that which I desired not — fixed.
13 因此吾主上主這樣說：「你們要看見我的僕人有得吃，你們卻要飢餓；你們看見我的僕人有得喝，你們卻要口渴；你們看見我的僕人喜樂，你們卻要哭泣；
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, My servants do eat, and ye do hunger, Lo, My servants do drink, and ye do thirst, Lo, My servants rejoice, and ye are ashamed,
14 你們看見我的僕人因心中快樂而歡慶，你們卻要因心中憂苦而悲號，因喪氣而哀傷。
Lo, My servants sing from joy of heart, And ye cry from pain of heart, And from breaking of spirit ye do howl.
15 你們將留下你們的名給我的選民作咒詞：『吾主上主將如此叫你死！』但是我的僕人要有另一個名字作稱呼。」
And ye have left your name For an oath for My chosen ones, And the Lord Jehovah hath put thee to death, And to His servants He giveth another name.
16 所以那在地上為自己求福的，要向真實的天主求福；那在地上起誓的，要指著真實的天主起誓，因為先前的苦難都已忘記，從我的眼前隱匿了。
So that he who is blessing himself in the earth, Doth bless himself In the God of faithfulness, And he who is swearing in the earth, Doth swear by the God of faithfulness, Because the former distresses have been forgotten, And because they have been hid from Mine eyes.
17 因為，看，我要創造新天新地，先前的不再被記憶，不再被關心。
For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.
18 人們都要因我所造的而永遠喜悅快樂；因為，看，我要造一座令人喜悅的耶路撒冷，一個令人歡樂的百姓。
But joy ye, and rejoice for ever, that I [am] Creator, For, lo, I am creating Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
19 我要因耶路撒冷而喜悅，因我的百姓而歡欣，其中再聽不到哭泣和哀號的聲音。
And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have joyed in My people, And not heard in her any more Is the voice of weeping, and the voice of crying.
20 那裏再沒有夭折的嬰兒和不滿壽數的老人；百歲死去的人算是青年，凡活不到百歲的人算是被詛咒的。
There is not thence any more a suckling of days, And an aged man who doth not complete his days, For the youth a hundred years old dieth, And the sinner, a hundred years old, is lightly esteemed.
21 他們要建築房舍，自居其中；種植葡萄，自食其果；
And they have built houses, and inhabited, And planted vineyards, and eaten their fruit.
22 並不是他們建築而別人來住，他們種植而別人來吃，因為我百姓的壽數有如樹木的年數，我的選民要享用她自己的勞作。
They do not build, and another inhabit, They do not plant, and another eat, For as the days of a tree [are] the days of My people, And the work of their hands wear out do My chosen ones.
23 他們不再徒然勤勞，生子不再受驚，因為他們是上主祝福的苗裔，他們的子孫亦將如此。
They labour not for a vain thing, Nor do they bring forth for trouble, For the seed of the blessed of Jehovah [are] they, And their offspring with them.
24 那時，他們還未呼求，我已答應了；他們還在祈禱，我已俯允了。
And it hath come to pass, They do not yet call, and I answer, They are yet speaking, and I hear.
25 豺狼和羔羊將要一齊牧放，獅子要如牛犢一般吃草，塵土將是大蛇的食物；在我的整個聖山上，再沒有誰作惡，也沒有誰害人：上主說。
Wolf and lamb do feed as one, And a lion as an ox eateth straw, As to the serpent — dust [is] its food, They do no evil, nor destroy, In all My holy mountain, said Jehovah!
