以赛亚书 3
1 主—万军之耶和华从耶路撒冷和犹大， 除掉众人所倚靠的，所仗赖的， 就是所倚靠的粮，所仗赖的水；
The Commander of the armies of angels is about to take away from Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea everything that you depend on— all your food and water.
2 除掉勇士和战士， 审判官和先知， 占卜的和长老，
He will take away your heroes and your [other] soldiers, your judges and your prophets, people who do rituals to find out what will happen in the future and the elders,
3 五十夫长和尊贵人， 谋士和有巧艺的， 以及妙行法术的。
army officers and [other] officials, advisors and skilled craftsmen and those who perform rituals to predict the future.
4 主说：我必使孩童作他们的首领， 使婴孩辖管他们。
He will appoint boys to be your leaders; your children will rule you.
5 百姓要彼此欺压； 各人受邻舍的欺压。 少年人必侮慢老年人； 卑贱人必侮慢尊贵人。
People will treat each other cruelly: people will fight against their neighbors. Young people will insult older people, and vulgar/dishonorable people will sneer at people who should be honored.
6 人在父家拉住弟兄，说： 你有衣服，可以作我们的官长。 这败落的事归在你手下吧！
At that time, someone will grab one of his brothers in his father’s house and say to him, “You have a coat, [which shows that you are respected]. [So] you be our leader! You rule this [city, which is now] a pile of ruins!”
7 那时，他必扬声说： 我不作医治你们的人； 因我家中没有粮食，也没有衣服， 你们不可立我作百姓的官长。
[But] his brother will reply, “[No], I cannot help you, [because] I do not have [any extra] food or clothes in this house. [So] do not appoint me to be your leader!”
8 耶路撒冷败落， 犹大倾倒； 因为他们的舌头和行为与耶和华反对， 惹了他荣光的眼目。
Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah will be destroyed, because [everything] that the people do and say there opposes Yahweh, who is powerful and glorious, and they refuse to obey him. They rebel against him.
9 他们的面色证明自己的不正； 他们述说自己的罪恶，并不隐瞒， 好像所多玛一样。 他们有祸了！因为作恶自害。
They even show on their faces that [they oppose Yahweh]. They are proud of their sins, like [the people of] Sodom were [long ago]; they do not try to hide their sins. [Because of their sins], terrible things will happen to them, [but] they will bring those disasters on themselves.
10 你们要论义人说：他必享福乐， 因为要吃自己行为所结的果子。
[Yahweh told me to] tell the righteous people that good things will happen to them; they will enjoy the blessings that they will receive for their good deeds.
11 恶人有祸了！他必遭灾难！ 因为要照自己手所行的受报应。
[But] terrible things will happen to wicked people; they will be (paid back/punished) for [the evil things that] [MTY] they have done.
12 至于我的百姓， 孩童欺压他们， 妇女辖管他们。 我的百姓啊，引导你的使你走错， 并毁坏你所行的道路。
[Now], youths [who have become leaders] treat my people cruelly, and women rule over my people. My people, your leaders are misleading you; they are causing you to go down the wrong road [MET].
13 耶和华起来辩论， 站着审判众民。
[It is as though] Yahweh has sat in his place in a courtroom and is ready to judge his people.
14 耶和华必审问他民中的长老和首领，说： 吃尽葡萄园果子的就是你们； 向贫穷人所夺的都在你们家中。
He will stand up to declare why the elders and rulers of his people should be punished: [he says], “The people of Israel are [like] [MET] a vineyard that I planted, but you have ruined it! Your houses are full of things that you have stolen from poor people.
15 主—万军之耶和华说： 你们为何压制我的百姓， 搓磨贫穷人的脸呢？
You should stop [RHQ] crushing my people! [It is as though] you are pushing the faces of poor people into the dirt!” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
16 耶和华又说： 因为锡安的女子狂傲， 行走挺项，卖弄眼目， 俏步徐行，脚下玎珰，
Yahweh says this: “The women of Jerusalem are haughty/proud; they walk around sticking their chins out, and flirting [with men] with their eyes. They walk with tiny steps with bracelets on their ankles that jingle.
17 所以，主必使锡安的女子头长秃疮； 耶和华又使她们赤露下体。
So I, Yahweh, will cause sores to be on their heads, and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.”
18 到那日，主必除掉她们华美的脚钏、发网、月牙圈、
At the time [that Yahweh does that], he will strip away everything that the women of Jerusalem wear to make themselves beautiful—the ornaments on their ankles and their headbands, their crescent necklaces,
19 耳环、手镯、蒙脸的帕子、
their earrings and bracelets and veils,
20 华冠、足链、华带、香盒、符囊、
their scarves and ankle bracelets and sashes, their perfumes and (charms/little things that they wear thinking that those things will protect them from evil),
21 戒指、鼻环、
their signet rings and nose rings,
22 吉服、外套、云肩、荷包、
their nice robes and capes and cloaks and purses,
23 手镜、细麻衣、裹头巾、蒙身的帕子。
their mirrors and nice linen clothes and shawls.
24 必有臭烂代替馨香， 绳子代替腰带， 光秃代替美发， 麻衣系腰代替华服， 烙伤代替美容。
Instead of their having a nice smell from perfume, they will stink; instead of nice sashes, they will have ropes [around their waists because they will be captives]. Instead of having fancy hairdos, they will be bald. Instead of fancy/beautiful robes, they will wear rough sackcloth, and instead of being beautiful, they will be branded.
25 你的男丁必倒在刀下； 你的勇士必死在阵上。
Their husbands will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and their soldiers [will also die] in battles.
26 锡安的城门必悲伤、哀号； 她必荒凉坐在地上。
People [PRS] will mourn and cry at the gates [of the city]. The city will [be like] [MET] a woman who sits on the ground because everything that she owned is gone.
