以赛亚书 30
1 耶和华说： 祸哉！这悖逆的儿女。 他们同谋，却不由于我， 结盟，却不由于我的灵， 以致罪上加罪；
Woe to the apostate children, saith the Lord: ye have framed counsel, not by me, and covenants not by my Spirit, to add sins to sins:
2 起身下埃及去，并没有求问我； 要靠法老的力量加添自己的力量， 并投在埃及的荫下。
[even] they that proceed to go down into Egypt, but they have not enquired of me, that they might be helped by Pharao, and protected by the Egyptians.
3 所以，法老的力量必作你们的羞辱； 投在埃及的荫下，要为你们的惭愧。
For the protection of Pharaoh shall be to you a disgrace, and [there shall be] a reproach to them that trust in Egypt.
4 他们的首领已在琐安； 他们的使臣到了哈内斯。
For there are princes in Tanes, evil messengers.
5 他们必因那不利于他们的民蒙羞。 那民并非帮助，也非利益， 只作羞耻凌辱。
In vain shall they labour [in seeking] to a people, which shall not profit them for help, but [shall be] for a shame and reproach.
6 论南方牲畜的默示： 他们把财物驮在驴驹的脊背上， 将宝物驮在骆驼的肉鞍上， 经过艰难困苦之地， 就是公狮、母狮、蝮蛇、火焰的飞龙之地， 往那不利于他们的民那里去。
THE VISION OF THE QUADRUPEDS IN THE DESERT. In affliction and distress, [where are] the lion and lion's whelp, thence [come] also asps, and the young of flying asps, [there shall they be] who bore their wealth on asses and camels to a nation which shall not profit them.
7 埃及的帮助是徒然无益的； 所以我称她为“坐而不动的拉哈伯”。
The Egyptians shall help you utterly in vain: tell them, This your consolation is vain.
8 现今你去， 在他们面前将这话刻在版上， 写在书上， 以便传留后世，直到永永远远。
Now then sit down and write these words on a tablet, and in a book; for these things shall be for [many long] days, and even for ever.
9 因为他们是悖逆的百姓、说谎的儿女， 不肯听从耶和华训诲的儿女。
For the people is disobedient, false children, who would not hear the law of God:
10 他们对先见说：不要望见不吉利的事， 对先知说：不要向我们讲正直的话； 要向我们说柔和的话， 言虚幻的事。
who say to the prophets, Report not to us; and to them that see visions, Speak [them] not to us, but speak and report to us another error;
11 你们要离弃正道，偏离直路， 不要在我们面前再提说以色列的圣者。
and turn us aside from this way; remove from us this path, and remove from us the oracle of Israel.
12 所以，以色列的圣者如此说： 因为你们藐视这训诲的话， 倚赖欺压和乖僻，以此为可靠的，
Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye have refused to obey these words, and have trusted in falsehood; and because thou hast murmured, and been confident in this respect:
13 故此，这罪孽在你们身上， 好像将要破裂凸出来的高墙， 顷刻之间忽然坍塌；
therefore shall this sin be to you as a wall suddenly falling when a strong city has been taken, of which the fall is very near at hand.
14 要被打碎，好像把窑匠的瓦器打碎， 毫不顾惜， 甚至碎块中找不到一片可用以从炉内取火， 从池中舀水。
And the fall thereof shall be as the breaking of an earthen vessel, [as] small fragments of a pitcher, so that thou shouldest not find among them a sherd, with which thou mightest take up fire, and with which thou shouldest draw a little water.
15 主耶和华—以色列的圣者曾如此说： 你们得救在乎归回安息； 你们得力在乎平静安稳； 你们竟自不肯。
Thus saith the Lord, the Holy Lord of Israel; When thou shalt turn and mourn, then thou shalt be saved; and thou shalt know where thou wast, when thou didst trust in vanities: [then] your strength became vain, yet ye would not hearken:
16 你们却说：不然，我们要骑马奔走。 所以你们必然奔走； 又说：我们要骑飞快的牲口。 所以追赶你们的，也必飞快。
but ye said, We will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will be aided by swift riders; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 一人叱喝，必令千人逃跑； 五人叱喝，你们都必逃跑； 以致剩下的，好像山顶的旗杆， 冈上的大旗。
A thousand shall flee because of the voice of one, and many shall flee on account of the voice of five; until ye be left as a signal-post upon a mountain, and as one bearing an ensign upon a hill.
18 耶和华必然等候，要施恩给你们； 必然兴起，好怜悯你们。 因为耶和华是公平的 神； 凡等候他的都是有福的！
And the Lord will again wait, that he may pity you, and will therefore be exalted that he may have mercy upon you: because the Lord your God is a judge: blessed are they that stay themselves upon him.
19 百姓必在锡安、在耶路撒冷居住；你不再哭泣。主必因你哀求的声音施恩给你；他听见的时候就必应允你。
For the holy people shall dwell in Sion: and [whereas] Jerusalem has wept bitterly, [saying], Pity me; he shall pity thee: when he perceived the voice of thy cry, he hearkened to thee.
20 主虽然以艰难给你当饼，以困苦给你当水，你的教师却不再隐藏；你眼必看见你的教师。
And [though] the Lord shall give you the bread of affliction and scant water, yet they that cause thee to err shall no more at all draw nigh to thee; for thine eyes shall see those that cause thee to err,
21 你或向左或向右，你必听见后边有声音说：“这是正路，要行在其间。”
and thine ears shall hear the words of them that went after thee to lead thee astray, who say, This [is] the way, let us walk in it, whether to the right or to the left.
22 你雕刻偶像所包的银子和铸造偶像所镀的金子，你要玷污，要抛弃，好像污秽之物，对偶像说：“去吧！”
And thou shalt pollute the plated idols, and thou shalt grind to powder the gilt ones, and shalt scatter them as the water of a removed [woman], and thou shalt thrust them forth as dung.
23 你将种子撒在地里，主必降雨在其上，并使地所出的粮肥美丰盛。到那时，你的牲畜必在宽阔的草场吃草。
Then shall there be rain to the seed of thy land; and the bread of the fruit of thy land shall be plenteous and rich: and thy cattle shall feed in that day in a fertile and spacious place.
24 耕地的牛和驴驹必吃加盐的料；这料是用木杴和杈子扬净的。
Your bulls and your oxen that till the ground, shall eat chaff mixed with winnowed barley.
25 在大行杀戮的日子，高台倒塌的时候，各高山冈陵必有川流河涌。
And there shall be upon every lofty mountain and upon every high hill, water running in that day, when many shall perish, and when the towers shall fall.
26 当耶和华缠裹他百姓的损处，医治他民鞭伤的日子，月光必像日光，日光必加七倍，像七日的光一样。
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold in the day when the Lord shall heal the breach of his people, and shall heal the pain of thy wound.
27 看哪，耶和华的名从远方来， 怒气烧起，密烟上腾。 他的嘴唇满有忿恨； 他的舌头像吞灭的火。
Behold, the name of the Lord comes after a [long] time, burning wrath: the word of his lips is with glory, a word full of anger, and the anger of his wrath shall devour as fire.
28 他的气如涨溢的河水，直涨到颈项， 要用毁灭的筛箩筛净列国， 并且在众民的口中必有使人错行的嚼环。
And his breath, as rushing water in a valley, shall reach as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for [their] vain error: error also shall pursue them, and overtake them.
29 你们必唱歌，像守圣节的夜间一样，并且心中喜乐，像人吹笛，上耶和华的山，到以色列的磐石那里。
Must ye always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must ye go with a pipe, as those that rejoice, into the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel?
30 耶和华必使人听他威严的声音，又显他降罚的膀臂和他怒中的忿恨，并吞灭的火焰与霹雷、暴风、冰雹。
And the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be heard, and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and [his wrath shall be] as water and violent hail.
31 亚述人必因耶和华的声音惊惶；耶和华必用杖击打他。
For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, [even] by the stroke wherewith he shall smite them.
32 耶和华必将命定的杖加在他身上；每打一下，人必击鼓弹琴。打杖的时候，耶和华必抡起手来，与他交战。
And it shall happen to him from every side, [that] they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp.
33 原来陀斐特又深又宽，早已为王预备好了；其中堆的是火与许多木柴。耶和华的气如一股硫磺火使他着起来。
For thou shalt be required before [thy] time: has it been prepared for thee also to reign? nay, God has [prepared for thee] a deep trench, wood piled, fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord [shall be] as a trench kindled with sulphur.
