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 rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not from me; and that set themselves a ruler, but not by my spirit, in order that they may add sin to sin:
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。
That travel to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my will; to strengthen themselves through the strength of Pharaoh, and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
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。
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh become your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt your disgrace.
4 他们的首领已在琐安； 他们的使臣到了哈内斯。
For his princes were at Zo'an, and his ambassadors had reached Chanes.
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。
They all are ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, neither be a help nor give profit; but [bringeth] shame, and also a 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 doom of the beasts of the south: Through the land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying dragons, they will carry upon the shoulders of young asses their riches, and upon the humps of camels their treasures, to a people that cannot profit.
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”。
And the Egyptians will help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called this, Boasters they are in sitting still.
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 go, write it before them on a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the latest time to come, for ever, and to eternity:
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 this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
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 have said to the seers, Ye shall not see; and to the prophets, Reveal not unto us true things, speak unto us smooth things, reveal deceits;
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。
Depart you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, remove from before us the Holy One 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 hath said the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean thereon for aid:
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 iniquity be to you as a threatening breach, swelling out in a high-towering wall, the fall of which will come unawares, suddenly.
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 he will break it, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, dashing it in pieces without sparing it; so that there cannot be found among its fragments a sherd to rake fire from a hearth and to draw water from a pit.
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。
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, the Holy One of Israel, In repose and rest shall ye be helped; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not.
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。
And ye said, “No; for upon horses will we flee;” therefore shall ye flee: and, “Upon swift beasts will we ride;” therefore shall your pursuers 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。
One thousand [shall flee] at the threatening of one; at the threatening of five shall ye [all] flee: till ye be left as a pole upon a mountain-top, and as an ensign on 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 therefore will the Lord wait, to be gracious unto you, and therefore will he exalt himself, to have mercy upon you; for a God of justice is the Lord: happy are all those that wait for 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 O people of Zion that shall dwell at Jerusalem! thou shalt indeed not weep: he will be surely gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; so soon as he heareth it, he answereth 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 the Lord will give you bread [in] adversity, and water [in] oppression; and thy teachers shall not have to hide themselves in a corner any more, but thy eyes shall see thy teachers:
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 thy ears shall hear the word behind thee, saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it,” when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn 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 ye will regard as unclean the covering of thy graven idols of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou wilt cast them away as a filthy thing; “Get thee hence,” wilt thou say unto them.
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 will he give the rain for thy seed, that thou mayest sow in the ground; and bread—the produce of the ground—this shall be fat and nutritious: thy cattle shall feed on that day in extensive pastures.
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。
The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
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 high mountain, and upon every prominent hill, rivulets, streams of waters on the day of the great slaughter, when towers 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, as the light of the seven days, on the day that the Lord bindeth up the broken [limbs] of his people, and healeth the bruise of their 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 cometh from afar, burning is his anger, and heavy the smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring 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, like an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to toss the nations with the van of falsehood: and [to place] a deceiving bridle on the jaws of the people.
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。
[Then] shall ye have a song, as in the night when a festival is ushered in, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with the flute to come unto the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock 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 will cause his majestic voice to be heard, and will show the stretching down of his arm, in the indignation of [his] anger, and in the flame of a devouring fire, in flood, and tempest, and stones of 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 because of the voice of the Lord shall be terrified Asshur, that smote [you] with the rod.
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 at every passage of the appointed staff which the Lord will let fall on him, there shall be [music] on tambourine and harp; and in the tumult of battles will he fight with them.
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 already of old is Topheth made ready; also this is prepared for the king—deep and wide; its pile hath fire and wood in plenty, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, will kindle it into a flame.
