以賽亞書 1
1 在烏齊雅、約堂、阿哈次和希則克雅為猶大王時，阿摩茲的兒子依撒意亞，關於猶大和耶路撒冷所見的異象如下：
The visions of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 諸天，請諦聽！大地，請側耳！ 因為上主有話說：「我把孩子撫養長大，他們竟背叛了我 ！
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For Jehovah speaketh: “I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me.
3 牛認識自己的主人，驢也認識自己主人的槽，以色列卻毫不知情，我的百姓卻一點不懂。」
The ox knoweth his owner, And the ass his master's crib; But Israel doth not know; My people do not consider.”
4 禍哉，犯罪的民族，惡貫滿盈的百姓，作惡的後裔，敗壞的子孫！他們離棄了上主，蔑視了以色列的聖者，轉身背棄了他。
Ah, sinful nation! a people laden with iniquity! A race of evil-doers! degenerate children! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; They have gone backward.
5 你們為什麼還繼續叛逆，再遭受打擊呢﹖整個頭已患了病，整個心已經焦悴；
Where can ye be smitten again, Since ye renew your rebellion? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;
6 從腳掌直到頭頂已體無完膚，盡是創痍、傷痕和新的傷口；沒有擠淨，沒有包紮，也沒有軟膏滋潤。
From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it; It is all bruises, and stripes, and flesh wounds, Neither pressed, nor bound up, nor softened with ointment.
7 你們的地區變成荒蕪，你們的城市被火燒盡，你們面前的莊田被異民吞併，變成一片荒涼，宛如索多瑪的廢墟；
Your country is desolate; Your cities are burnt with fire; Your ground, strangers devour it before your eyes; It is become desolate, destroyed by an enemy.
8 僅存的熙雍女兒，有如葡萄園裏的茅舍，胡瓜園中的草廬，被圍困著的城市。
And the daughter of Zion is left as a shed in a vineyard, As a hut in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city.
9 若非萬軍的上主給我們留下些許殘餘，我們早已如同索多瑪，相似哈摩辣了。
Had not Jehovah of hosts left us a small remnant, We had soon become as Sodom; We had been like to Gomorrah.
10 索多瑪的統治者，請聽上主的話！哈摩辣的百姓，請聽天主的訓示：「
Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye princes of Sodom! Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah!
11 你們為什麼向我奉獻那麼多的犧牲﹖－－上主說：我已飽饜了公羊的燔祭和肥犢的脂膏；牛犢、羔羊和山羊的血我已不喜歡；
What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah; I am satiated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; In the blood of bullocks and of lambs and of goats I have no delight.
12 你們來見我的面時，誰向你們要求了這些東西﹖這簡直是蹂躪我的殿院。
When ye come to appear before me, Who hath required this of you, to tread my courts?
13 不要再奉獻無謂的祭品！馨香已為我所憎惡，月朔、安息日、集會、齋戒和盛大的宴會，我已都不能容受。
Bring no more false oblations! Incense is an abomination to me, The new moon also, and the sabbath, and the calling of the assembly; Iniquity and festivals I cannot endure.
14 我的心痛恨你們的月朔和你們的慶節，它們為我是種累贅，使我忍無可忍。
Your new moons and your feasts my soul hateth; They are a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 你們伸出手時，我必掩目不看；你們行大祈禱時，我決不俯聽，因為你們的手染滿了血！
When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; Yea, when ye multiply prayers, I will not hear: Your hands are full of blood!
16 你們應該洗滌，應該自潔，從我眼前革除你們的惡行，停止作孽，
Wash you; make you clean; Put away your evil doings from before mine eyes;
17 學習行善，尋求正義，責斥壓迫人的人，為孤兒伸冤，為寡婦辯護。
Cease to do evil; Learn to do well; Seek justice; relieve the oppressed; Defend the fatherless; plead for the widow!
18 現在你們來，讓我們互相辯論－－上主說：你們的罪雖似朱紅，將變成雪一樣的潔白；雖紅得發紫，仍能變成羊毛一樣的皎潔。
Come, now, and let us argue together, saith Jehovah. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they be red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
19 假使你們樂意服從，你們將享用地上的美物；
If ye be willing and obedient, Ye shall consume the good of the land.
20 假使你們拒絕反抗，你們將為刀劍所吞滅。」這是上主親口說的。
But if ye refuse, and be rebellious, The sword shall consume you; For the mouth of Jehovah hath said it.
21 忠貞的城邑，怎麼變成了蕩婦！ 昔日充滿著正義，寄居著公平的，現今卻住滿了謀殺的兇手！
How is the faithful city become a harlot, She that was full of equity! Once justice dwelt in her, but now murderers!
22 你的銀子變成了渣滓，你的美酒攙和了水份；
Thy silver is become dross; Thy wine is adulterated with water.
23 你的首領謀反作亂，成了盜賊的幫兇；他們都愛好賄賂，索取報酬，不為孤兒伸冤，不受理寡婦的訴訟。
Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves; Every one of them loveth gifts, and seeketh rewards; They render not justice to the fatherless, And the cause of the widow cometh not before them.
24 因此吾主，萬軍的上主，以色列的大能者說：「哎！我必向我的敵人雪恨，我必向我的仇人復仇。
Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will ease me of mine adversaries, And avenge me of mine enemies.
25 我必向你伸出我的手，用爐火煉盡你的渣滓，除去你所有的鉛錫。
And I will again turn my hand toward thee, And wholly purge away thy dross, And take away all thy alloy.
26 我要使你的民長復興如初；使你的參謀恢復如初；以後你將被稱為正義的城市，忠貞的城邑。」
And I will restore thee judges, as at the first, And counsellors, as at the beginning. Then shalt thou be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 熙雍將因正直獲得救贖，她的居民將因正義蒙受救恩；
Through justice shall Zion be delivered, And her reformed sons through righteousness.
28 然而惡人和罪人必將一同滅亡，背棄上主的人必要滅絕。
But destruction shall fall at once on the rebels and sinners; Yea, they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
29 你們必因你們所喜愛的橡樹而蒙羞，必因你們所選擇的花園而慚愧；
For ye shall be ashamed of the terebinths in which ye delighted; Ye shall blush for the gardens which ye loved;
30 你們將變成一棵落葉的橡樹，一座無水的花園。
And ye shall be as a terebinth-tree whose leaves are withered, And as a garden in which is no water.
31 強者將似麻絮，他的工作猶如火花：二者必要同時焚燒，無人予以熄滅。
The strong shall become tow, And his work a spark of fire; Both shall burn together, And none shall quench them.
