以赛亚书 57
1 义人死亡， 无人放在心上； 虔诚人被收去， 无人思念。 这义人被收去是免了将来的祸患；
The righteous perish, but no one considers it, and the people of covenant faithfulness are gathered away, but no one understands that the righteous is gathered away from the evil.
2 他们得享平安。 素行正直的，各人在坟里安歇。
He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, those who walk in their uprightness.
3 你们这些巫婆的儿子， 奸夫和妓女的种子， 都要前来！
But come here, you sons of the sorceress, children of the adulterer and the woman who has prostituted herself.
4 你们向谁戏笑？ 向谁张口吐舌呢？ 你们岂不是悖逆的儿女， 虚谎的种类呢？
Whom are you merrily mocking? Against whom are you opening the mouth and sticking out the tongue? Are you not children of rebellion, children of deceit?
5 你们在橡树中间，在各青翠树下欲火攻心； 在山谷间，在石穴下杀了儿女；
You heat yourselves up sleeping together under the oaks, under every green tree, you who kill your children in the dry riverbeds, under the rocky overhangs.
6 在谷中光滑石头里有你的分。 这些就是你所得的分； 你也向他浇了奠祭，献了供物， 因这事我岂能容忍吗？
Among the smooth things of the river valley are the things that have been assigned to you. They are the object of your devotion. You pour out your drink offering to them and raise up a grain offering. In these things should I take pleasure?
7 你在高而又高的山上安设床榻， 也上那里去献祭。
You prepared your bed on a high mountain; you also went up there to offer sacrifices.
8 你在门后，在门框后， 立起你的纪念； 向外人赤露，又上去扩张床榻， 与他们立约； 你在那里看见他们的床就甚喜爱。
Behind the door and the doorposts you set up your symbols; you deserted me, made yourselves naked, and went up; you made your bed wide. You made a covenant with them; you loved their beds; you saw their private parts.
You went to Molech with oil; you multiplied perfumes. You send your ambassadors far away; you went down to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 你因路远疲倦， 却不说这是枉然； 你以为有复兴之力， 所以不觉疲惫。
You were tired from your long journey, but you never said, “It is hopeless.” You found life in your hand; therefore you did not weaken.
11 你怕谁？因谁恐惧？ 竟说谎，不记念我， 又不将这事放在心上。 我不是许久闭口不言， 你仍不怕我吗？
“Whom are you worried about? Whom do you fear so much that has caused you to act so deceitfully, so much that you would not remember me or think about me? Because I was silent for so long, you are no longer afraid of me.
12 我要指明你的公义； 至于你所行的都必与你无益。
I will proclaim all your righteous acts and tell all that you have done, but they will not help you.
13 你哀求的时候， 让你所聚集的拯救你吧！ 风要把他们刮散， 一口气要把他们都吹去。 但那投靠我的必得地土， 必承受我的圣山为业。
When you cry out, let your collection of idols rescue you. Instead the wind will carry them all away, a breath will carry them all away. Yet he who takes refuge in me will inherit the land and will take possession of my holy mountain.
14 耶和华要说： 你们修筑修筑，预备道路， 将绊脚石从我百姓的路中除掉。
He will say, 'Build, build! Clear a way! Remove all the stumbling blocks from the path of my people!'”
15 因为那至高至上、永远长存 名为圣者的如此说： 我住在至高至圣的所在， 也与心灵痛悔谦卑的人同居； 要使谦卑人的灵苏醒， 也使痛悔人的心苏醒。
For this is what the high and elevated One says, who lives eternally, whose name is holy, “I live in the exalted and holy place, with him also that is of a crushed and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble ones, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16 我必不永远相争，也不长久发怒， 恐怕我所造的人与灵性都必发昏。
For I will not accuse forever, nor will I be angry forever, for then man's spirit would faint before me, the lives that I have made.
17 因他贪婪的罪孽，我就发怒击打他； 我向他掩面发怒， 他却仍然随心背道。
Because of the sin of his violent gain, I was angry, and I punished him; I hid my face and was angry, but he went backward in the way of his heart.
18 我看见他所行的道，也要医治他； 又要引导他， 使他和那一同伤心的人再得安慰。
I have seen his ways, but I will heal him. I will lead him and comfort and console those who mourn for him,
19 我造就嘴唇的果子； 愿平安康泰归与远处的人， 也归与近处的人； 并且我要医治他。 这是耶和华说的。
and I create the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to those who are far off and to those who are near—says Yahweh—I will heal them.
20 惟独恶人，好像翻腾的海， 不得平静； 其中的水常涌出污秽和淤泥来。
But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, and its waters churn up mire and mud.
21 我的 神说：恶人必不得平安！
There is no peace for the wicked one—says God.”
