以赛亚书 28
1 祸哉！以法莲的酒徒， 住在肥美谷的山上， 他们心里高傲， 以所夸的为冠冕， 犹如将残之花。
Woe to the crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, the flower that has fallen from the glory of the top of the fertile mountain, they that are drunken without wine.
2 看哪，主有一大能大力者， 像一阵冰雹， 像毁灭的暴风， 像涨溢的大水， 他必用手将冠冕摔落于地。
Behold, the anger of the Lord is strong and severe, as descending hail where there is no shelter, violently descending; as a great body of water sweeping away the soil, he shall make rest for the land.
3 以法莲高傲的酒徒， 他的冠冕必被踏在脚下。
The crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, shall be beaten down with the hands and with the feet.
4 那荣美将残之花， 就是在肥美谷山上的， 必像夏令以前初熟的无花果； 看见这果的就注意， 一到手中就吞吃了。
And the fading flower of the glorious hope on the top of the high mountain shall be as the early fig; he that sees it, before he takes it into his hand, will desire to swallow it down.
5 到那日，万军之耶和华 必作他余剩之民的荣冠华冕，
In that day the Lord of hosts shall be the crown of hope, the woven [crown] of glory, to the remnant of the people.
6 也作了在位上行审判者公平之灵， 并城门口打退仇敌者的力量。
They shall be left in the spirit of judgment for judgment, and for the strength of them that hinder slaying.
7 就是这地的人也因酒摇摇晃晃， 因浓酒东倒西歪。 祭司和先知因浓酒摇摇晃晃， 被酒所困， 因浓酒东倒西歪。 他们错解默示， 谬行审判。
For these have trespassed through wine; they have erred through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are mad through strong drink, they are swallowed up by reason of wine, they have staggered through drunkenness; they have erred: this is [their] vision.
8 因为各席上满了呕吐的污秽， 无一处干净。
A curse shall devour this counsel, for this [is their] counsel for the sake of covetousness.
9 讥诮先知的说： 他要将知识指教谁呢？ 要使谁明白传言呢？ 是那刚断奶离怀的吗？
To whom have we reported evils? and to whom have we reported a message? [even to those] that are weaned from the milk, who are drawn from the breast.
10 他竟命上加命，令上加令， 律上加律，例上加例， 这里一点，那里一点。
Expect you affliction on affliction, hope upon hope: yet a little, [and] yet a little,
11 先知说：不然，主要借异邦人的嘴唇 和外邦人的舌头对这百姓说话。
by reason of the contemptuous [words] of the lips, by means of another language: for they shall speak to this people, saying to them,
12 他曾对他们说： 你们要使疲乏人得安息， 这样才得安息，才得舒畅， 他们却不肯听。
This is the rest to him that is hungry, and this is the calamity: but they would not hear.
13 所以，耶和华向他们说的话是 命上加命，令上加令， 律上加律，例上加例， 这里一点，那里一点， 以致他们前行仰面跌倒， 而且跌碎，并陷入网罗被缠住。
Therefore the oracle of God shall be to them affliction on affliction, hope on hope, yet a little, [and] yet a little, that they may go and fall backward; and they shall be crushed and shall be in danger, and shall be taken.
14 所以，你们这些亵慢的人， 就是辖管住在耶路撒冷这百姓的， 要听耶和华的话。
Therefore hear you the word of the Lord, you afflicted men, and you princes of this people that is in Jerusalem.
Because you have said, We have made a covenant with Hades, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us: we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected: (Sheol h7585)
16 所以，主耶和华如此说： 看哪，我在锡安放一块石头作为根基， 是试验过的石头， 是稳固根基，宝贵的房角石； 信靠的人必不着急。
Therefore thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations of Sion a costly stone, a choice, a corner-stone, a precious [stone], for its foundations; and he that believes [on him] shall by no means be ashamed.
17 我必以公平为准绳， 以公义为线铊。 冰雹必冲去谎言的避所； 大水必漫过藏身之处。
And I will cause judgment [to be] for hope, and my compassion shall be for [just] measures, and you that trust vainly in falsehood [shall fall]: for the storm shall by no means pass by you,
except it also take away your covenant of death, and your trust in Hades shall by no means stand: if the rushing storm should come upon you, you shall be beaten down by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 每逢经过必将你们掳去。 因为每早晨他必经过， 白昼黑夜都必如此。 明白传言的必受惊恐。
Whenever it shall pass by, it shall take you; morning by morning it shall pass by in the day, and in the night there shall be an evil hope. Learn to hear,
20 原来，床榻短，使人不能舒身； 被窝窄，使人不能遮体。
you that are distressed; we can’t fight, but we are ourselves too weak for you to be gathered.
21 耶和华必兴起，像在毗拉心山； 他必发怒，像在基遍谷， 好做成他的工，就是非常的工； 成就他的事，就是奇异的事。
The Lord shall rise up as a mountain of ungodly [men], and shall be in the valley of Gabaon; he shall perform his works with wrath, [even] a work of bitterness, and his wrath shall deal strangely, and his destruction shall be strange.
22 现在你们不可亵慢， 恐怕捆你们的绑索更结实了； 因为我从主—万军之耶和华那里听见， 已经决定在全地上施行灭绝的事。
Therefore do not you rejoice, neither let your bands be made strong; for I have heard of works finished and cut short by the Lord of hosts, which he will execute upon all the earth.
23 你们当侧耳听我的声音， 留心听我的言语。
Listen, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my words.
24 那耕地为要撒种的， 岂是常常耕地呢？ 岂是常常开垦耙地呢？
Will the plowman plow all the day? or will he prepare the seed beforehand, before he tills the ground?
25 他拉平了地面， 岂不就撒种小茴香， 播种大茴香， 按行列种小麦， 在定处种大麦， 在田边种粗麦呢？
Does he not, when he has levelled the surface thereof, then sow the small black poppy, or cumin, and afterward sow wheat, and barley, and millet, and bread-corn in your borders?
26 因为他的 神教导他务农相宜， 并且指教他。
So you shall be chastened by the judgment of your God, and shall rejoice.
27 原来打小茴香，不用尖利的器具， 轧大茴香，也不用碌碡； 但用杖打小茴香， 用棍打大茴香。
For the black poppy is not cleansed with harsh treatment, nor will a wagon-wheel pass over the cumin; but the black poppy is threshed with a rod, and the cumin shall be eaten with bread;
28 做饼的粮食是用磨磨碎， 因它不必常打； 虽用碌碡和马打散， 却不磨它。
for I will not be angry with you for ever, neither shall the voice of my anger crush you.
29 这也是出于万军之耶和华— 他的谋略奇妙； 他的智慧广大。
And these signs came forth from the Lord of hosts. Take counsel, exalt vain comfort.
