< 以赛亚书 65 >

1 素来没有访问我的,现在求问我; 没有寻找我的,我叫他们遇见; 没有称为我名下的,我对他们说: 我在这里!我在这里!
I have heard those that made no supplication; I have been found by those who sought me not; I said, Here I am, here I am, To a people that called not upon my name.
2 我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓; 他们随自己的意念行不善之道。
I have spread out my hands all the day To a rebellious people, That walketh in an evil way, According to their own devices;
3 这百姓时常当面惹我发怒; 在园中献祭, 在坛上烧香;
To a people that provoke me to my face continually; That sacrifice in gardens, And burn incense on tiles;
4 在坟墓间坐着, 在隐密处住宿, 吃猪肉; 他们器皿中有可憎之物做的汤;
That sit in sepulchres, And lodge in caverns; That eat swine's flesh, And have broth of unclean things in their vessels;
5 且对人说:你站开吧! 不要挨近我,因为我比你圣洁。 主说:这些人是我鼻中的烟, 是整天烧着的火。
Who yet say: Stand by thyself! come not near to me, For I am holier than thou! These are a smoke in my nose, A fire that burneth continually.
6 看哪,这都写在我面前。 我必不静默,必施行报应, 必将你们的罪孽和你们列祖的罪孽, 就是在山上烧香, 在冈上亵渎我的罪孽, 一同报应在他们后人怀中, 我先要把他们所行的量给他们; 这是耶和华说的。
Behold, it stands recorded before me; I will not keep silence, but will requite; I will requite it into their bosoms;
7
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, Who burnt incense on the mountains, And dishonored me on the hills, I will pour the full recompense of their former deeds into their bosom.
8 耶和华如此说:葡萄中寻得新酒, 人就说:不要毁坏, 因为福在其中。 我因我仆人的缘故也必照样而行, 不将他们全然毁灭。
Thus saith Jehovah: As when juice is found in a cluster, Men say, “Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it”; So will I do, for the sake of my servants, and will not destroy the whole;
9 我必从雅各中领出后裔, 从犹大中领出承受我众山的。 我的选民必承受; 我的仆人要在那里居住。
I will cause a stem to spring forth from Jacob, And from Judah a possessor of my mountains; My chosen shall possess the land, And my servants shall dwell there.
10 沙 平原必成为羊群的圈; 亚割谷必成为牛群躺卧之处, 都为寻求我的民所得。
And Sharon shall be a fold for flocks, And the valley of Achor a resting-place for herds, For my people that have sought me.
11 但你们这些离弃耶和华、 忘记我的圣山、给时运摆筵席、 给天命盛满调和酒的,
But ye, who have forsaken Jehovah, And have forgotten my holy mountain, That prepare a table for Fortune, And fill the cup for Destiny,
12 我要命定你们归在刀下, 都必屈身被杀; 因为我呼唤,你们没有答应; 我说话,你们没有听从; 反倒行我眼中看为恶的, 拣选我所不喜悦的。
Yourselves do I destine to the sword, And all of you shall bow down before the slaughter; Because I called, and ye answered not, I spake, and ye would not hear, But did that which is evil in my sight, And chose that in which I had no delight.
13 所以,主耶和华如此说: 我的仆人必得吃,你们却饥饿; 我的仆人必得喝,你们却干渴; 我的仆人必欢喜,你们却蒙羞。
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, my servants shall eat, and ye shall be hungry; Behold, my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty; Behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be confounded;
14 我的仆人因心中高兴欢呼, 你们却因心中忧愁哀哭, 又因心里忧伤哀号。
Behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, But ye shall shriek for sorrow of heart, And howl for anguish of spirit.
15 你们必留下自己的名, 为我选民指着赌咒。 主耶和华必杀你们, 另起别名称呼他的仆人。
And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen, And the Lord Jehovah shall slay you; But his servants will he call by another name.
16 这样,在地上为自己求福的, 必凭真实的 神求福; 在地上起誓的, 必指真实的 神起誓。 因为,从前的患难已经忘记, 也从我眼前隐藏了。
Whoso blesseth himself in the land Shall bless by the true God; And he that sweareth in the land shall swear by the true God; For the former troubles are forgotten, And they are hid from mine eyes.
17 看哪!我造新天新地; 从前的事不再被记念,也不再追想。
For behold! I create new heavens, and a new earth; The former ones shall not be remembered, Nor shall they be brought to mind any more.
18 你们当因我所造的永远欢喜快乐; 因我造耶路撒冷为人所喜, 造其中的居民为人所乐。
But ye shall be glad and exult forever In that which I create; For behold! I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
19 我必因耶路撒冷欢喜, 因我的百姓快乐; 其中必不再听见哭泣的声音和哀号的声音。
And I will exult in Jerusalem, And rejoice in my people; No more shall be heard therein The voice of weeping and the cry of distress.
20 其中必没有数日夭亡的婴孩, 也没有寿数不满的老者; 因为百岁死的仍算孩童, 有百岁死的罪人算被咒诅。
There shall not be there an infant child, nor an old man, That hath not filled the measure of his years; For he that dieth a hundred years old shall die a youth, And the sinner dying a hundred years old shall be held accursed.
21 他们要建造房屋,自己居住; 栽种葡萄园,吃其中的果子。
They shall build houses, and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them;
22 他们建造的,别人不得住; 他们栽种的,别人不得吃; 因为我民的日子必像树木的日子; 我选民亲手劳碌得来的必长久享用。
They shall not build, and another inhabit; They shall not plant, and another eat; For as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, Yea, long shall my chosen enjoy the work of their hands.
23 他们必不徒然劳碌, 所生产的,也不遭灾害, 因为都是蒙耶和华赐福的后裔; 他们的子孙也是如此。
They shall not labor in vain, Nor bring forth children for early death; For they are a race blessed by Jehovah, And their offspring shall remain to them.
24 他们尚未求告,我就应允; 正说话的时候,我就垂听。
Before they call, I will answer; And while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 豺狼必与羊羔同食; 狮子必吃草与牛一样; 尘土必作蛇的食物。 在我圣山的遍处, 这一切都不伤人,不害物。 这是耶和华说的。
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, And the lion shall eat straw like the ox, And dust shall be the food of the serpent. They shall not hurt, nor destroy, in all my holy mountain, Saith Jehovah.
