以赛亚书 47
1 巴比伦的处女啊， 下来坐在尘埃； 迦勒底的闺女啊， 没有宝座，要坐在地上； 因为你不再称为柔弱娇嫩的。
Come down, sit on the ground, O virgin daughter of Babylon: sit on the ground, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and luxurious.
2 要用磨磨面， 揭去帕子， 脱去长衣，露腿趟河。
Take a millstone, grind meal: remove your veil, uncover your white hairs, make bare the leg, pass through the rivers.
3 你的下体必被露出； 你的丑陋必被看见。 我要报仇， 谁也不宽容。
Your shame shall be uncovered, your reproaches shall be brought to light: I will exact of you due vengeance, I will no longer deliver you to men.
4 我们救赎主的名是 万军之耶和华—以色列的圣者。
Your deliverer is the Lord of hosts, the Holy One of Israel is his name.
5 迦勒底的闺女啊， 你要默然静坐，进入暗中， 因为你不再称为列国的主母。
Sit you down pierced with woe, go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: you shall no more be called the strength of a kingdom.
6 我向我的百姓发怒， 使我的产业被亵渎， 将他们交在你手中， 你毫不怜悯他们， 把极重的轭加在老年人身上。
I have been provoked with my people; you have defiled mine inheritance: I gave them into your hand, but you did not extend mercy to them: you made the yoke of the aged man very heavy,
7 你自己说：我必永为主母， 所以你不将这事放在心上， 也不思想这事的结局。
and said, I shall be a princess for ever: you did not perceive these things in your heart, nor did you remember the latter end.
8 你这专好宴乐、安然居住的， 现在当听这话。 你心中说：惟有我， 除我以外再没有别的。 我必不致寡居， 也不遭丧子之事。
But now hear these words, you luxurious one, [who are] the one that sits [at ease], that is secure, that says in her heart, I am, and there is not another; I shall not sit a widow, neither shall I know bereavement.
9 哪知，丧子、寡居这两件事 在一日转眼之间必临到你； 正在你多行邪术、广施符咒的时候， 这两件事必全然临到你身上。
But now these two things shall come upon you suddenly in one day, the loss of children and widowhood shall come suddenly upon you, for your sorcery, for the strength of your enchantments,
10 你素来倚仗自己的恶行，说： 无人看见我。 你的智慧聪明使你偏邪， 并且你心里说：惟有我， 除我以外再没有别的。
for your trusting in wickedness: for you said, I am, and there is not another: know you, the understanding of these things and your harlotry shall be your shame; for you said in your heart, I am, and there is not another.
11 因此，祸患要临到你身； 你不知何时发现 灾害落在你身上， 你也不能除掉； 所不知道的毁灭也必忽然临到你身。
And destruction shall come upon you, and you shall not be aware; [there shall be a] pit, and you shall fall into it: and grief shall come upon you, and you shall not be able to be clear; and destruction shall come suddenly upon you, and you shall not know.
12 站起来吧！ 用你从幼年劳神施行的符咒和你许多的邪术； 或者可得益处， 或者可得强胜。
Stand now with your enchantments, and with the abundance of your sorcery, which you have learnt from your youth; if you can be profited.
13 你筹划太多，以致疲倦。 让那些观天象的，看星宿的， 在月朔说预言的，都站起来， 救你脱离所要临到你的事。
You are wearied in your counsels. Let now the astrologers of the heaven stand and deliver you, let them that see the stars tell you what is about to come upon you.
14 他们要像碎秸被火焚烧， 不能救自己脱离火焰之力； 这火并非可烤的炭火， 也不是可以坐在其前的火。
Behold, they all shall be burnt up as sticks in the fire; neither shall they at all deliver their life from the flame. Because you have coals of fire, sit you upon them;
15 你所劳神的事都要这样与你无益； 从幼年与你贸易的也都各奔各乡，无人救你。
these shall be your help. You have wearied yourself with traffic from your youth: every man has wandered to his own home, but you shall have no deliverance.
