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 in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne for the daughter of the Chaldeans, for thou shalt no more be called delicate and tender.
2 要用磨磨面， 揭去帕子， 脱去长衣，露腿趟河。
Take a millstone and grind meal: uncover thy shame, strip thy shoulder, make bare thy legs, pass over 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。
Thy nakedness shall be discovered, and thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and no man shall resist me.
4 我们救赎主的名是 万军之耶和华—以色列的圣者。
Our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
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 thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called the lady of kingdoms.
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 was angry with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and have given them into thy bend: thou hast shewn no mercy to them: upon the ancient thou hast laid thy yoke exceeding 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 thou hast said: I shall be a lady for ever: thou hast not laid these things to thy heart, neither hast thou remembered thy 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。
And now hear these things, thou that art delicate, and dwellest confidently, that sayest in thy heart: I am, and there is none else besides me: I shall not sit as a widow, and I shall not know barrenness.
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。
These two things shall come upon thee suddenly in one day, barrenness and widowhood. All things are come upon thee, because of the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great hardness of thy enchanters.
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。
And thou best trusted in thy wickedness, and hast said: There is none that seeth me. Thy wisdom, and thy knowledge, this hath deceived thee. And thou best said in thy heart: I am, and besides me there is no other.
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。
Evil shall come upon thee, and then shalt not know the rising thereof: and calamity shall fall violently upon thee, which thou canst not keep off: misery shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt 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 thy enchanters, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast laboured from thy youth, if so be it may profit thee any thing, or if thou mayst become stronger.
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。
Thou hast failed in the multitude or thy counsels: let now the astrologers stand and save thee, they that gazed at the stars, and counted the months, that from them they might tell the things that shall come to thee.
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 are as stubble, fire hath burnt them, they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the dames: there are no coals wherewith they may be warmed, nor fire, that they may sit thereat.
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。
Such are all the things become to thee, in which thou best laboured: thy merchants from thy youth, every one hath erred in his own way, there is none that can save thee.
