以賽亞書 66
1 上主這樣說：「上天是我的寶座，下地是我的腳凳，你們還能在那裏給我造殿宇，建我休息的地方呢﹖
Thus says the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that all of you build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
2 這一切都是我手造的，這一切都是我的，上主的斷語。我要垂顧的是誰呢﹖是貧苦者、懺悔者和敬畏我言語的人。
For all those things has mine hand made, and all those things have been, says the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.
3 宰殺牛犢的，又擊死了人；祭殺羔羊的，又絞死了狗；奉獻禮品的，又獻了豬血；焚香頂禮的，又祝福了偶像：這些人既都揀選了自己的路，他們的心靈都喜悅他們可憎的事；
He that kills an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrifices a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offers an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burns incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
4 那麼，我也要揀選磨難他們的事，使他們所恐懼的，臨到他們身上；因為我呼喚，沒有人回答；我說話，他們都不肯聽，反而去行我視為惡的事，揀選我所不喜樂的事。」
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
5 敬畏上主言語的人哪！你們聽上主的話：「那惱恨你們的，因我的名而擯棄你們的弟兄，曾說：『願上主顯示他的光榮！讓我們看看你們的喜樂罷！』他們必要蒙受羞辱！」
Hear the word of the LORD, all of you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 有吵鬧的聲音來自城中，有聲音發自殿宇：這是上主報復他敵人的聲音。
A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompence to his enemies.
7 還未受痛便已分娩，陣痛尚未來到她身上，就生了一個男孩。
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a male child.
8 誰曾聽過這樣的事﹖誰曾見過這樣的事﹖一個國家豈能在一天之內產生嗎﹖一個民族豈能在一時之間誕生嗎﹖但熙雍剛一覺痛就產生了她的兒子！「
Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 我既開了母懷，難道不使她生產嗎﹖」上主說：「我既使人生產，難道封閉母胎嗎﹖」你的天主這樣說。
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God.
10 凡愛慕耶路撒冷的，你們都應同她一起快樂，因她而歡喜！ 凡為她而憂傷的，你們都要同她盡情歡樂的！
Rejoice all of you with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her:
11 如此你們能從她那安慰的懷裏吃奶而得飽飫，你們能從她那豐滿的乳房吸乳而得快樂。
That all of you may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that all of you may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 因為上主這樣說：看！ 我要在她身上廣賜和平，有如河流一般；我要賜給她萬國的財寶，好似氾濫的江河；她的乳兒將被抱在懷中，放在膝上搖擺。
For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall all of you suck, all of you shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
13 就如人怎樣受母親的撫慰，我也要怎樣撫慰你們，你們必要在耶路撒冷享受安慰。
As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and all of you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 你們見到這種情形，你們的心必要歡樂，你們的骨骸必要如青草一般的茂盛；那時，上主的手將顯示於他的僕人，他的憤恨必加於他的敵人。
And when all of you see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
15 因為！看哪！上主乘火降來，他的車好似暴風；他要在狂風中發洩他的怒氣，在火燄中施展他的威赫，
For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 因為上主要用火審判大地，用刀審判所有血肉的，許多人將被上主消滅。
For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 凡聖化又潔淨了自己的，一個跟著一個到園子裏去，吃豬肉、爬蟲和鼠肉的人，他們的行為和他們的思念都要被消滅：這是上主的話。
They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the LORD.
18 我要來聚集萬民及各種語言的民族，他們都要來觀看我的榮耀。
For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
19 我要在他們中施行奇事，並派遣免難的人到外邦人那裏去，即往塔爾史士、普特、路得、默舍客、洛士、突巴耳、雅汪，遼遠的海島上，即沒有聽過我的聲譽，沒有見過我的光榮的地方。
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles far off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20 他們要從各民族中用馬、車、轎子、騾子、獨峰駝，把你們的弟兄送到我的聖山耶路撒冷來，當作獻於天主的獻儀，好像以色列子民用潔淨的器皿將供物獻於上主的殿中一樣：這是上主說的。
And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
21 我要從他們中間選拔司祭和肋未人：這是上主說的。
And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, says the LORD.
22 實在，我行將創造的新天新地怎樣在我面前存在，你們的後裔與你們的名字也要怎樣存在：上主的斷語。
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 將來每逢月朔，每逢安息日，凡屬血肉的，都要來我面前跪拜：上主說。
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says the LORD.
24 他們要出去看那背叛我的人的屍體；他們的蟲決不會死，他們的火總不會滅；他們為一切有血肉的人將是可憎之物。
And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
