< 以赛亚书 66 >
1 耶和华如此说: 天是我的座位; 地是我的脚凳。 你们要为我造何等的殿宇? 哪里是我安息的地方呢?
This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me? Or where will My place of repose be?
2 耶和华说:这一切都是我手所造的, 所以就都有了。 但我所看顾的, 就是虚心痛悔、 因我话而战兢的人。
Has not My hand made all these things? And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.
3 假冒为善的宰牛,好像杀人, 献羊羔,好像打折狗项, 献供物,好像献猪血, 烧乳香,好像称颂偶像。 这等人拣选自己的道路, 心里喜悦行可憎恶的事。
Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood; whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted in their abominations.
4 我也必拣选迷惑他们的事, 使他们所惧怕的临到他们; 因为我呼唤,无人答应; 我说话,他们不听从; 反倒行我眼中看为恶的, 拣选我所不喜悦的。
So I will choose their punishment and I will bring terror upon them, because I called and no one answered, I spoke and no one listened. But they did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”
5 你们因耶和华言语战兢的人当听他的话: 你们的弟兄—就是恨恶你们, 因我名赶出你们的,曾说: 愿耶和华得荣耀, 使我们得见你们的喜乐; 但蒙羞的究竟是他们!
You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”
6 有喧哗的声音出自城中! 有声音出于殿中! 是耶和华向仇敌施行报应的声音!
Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!
“Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before she was in pain, she delivered a boy.
8 国岂能一日而生? 民岂能一时而产? 因为锡安一劬劳便生下儿女, 这样的事谁曾听见? 谁曾看见呢?
Who has heard of such as this? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.
9 耶和华说:我既使她临产, 岂不使她生产呢? 你的 神说:我既使她生产, 岂能使她闭胎不生呢?
Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” says the LORD. “Or will I who deliver close the womb?” says your God.
10 你们爱慕耶路撒冷的 都要与她一同欢喜快乐; 你们为她悲哀的 都要与她一同乐上加乐;
Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her, all who love her. Rejoice greatly with her, all who mourn over her,
11 使你们在她安慰的怀中吃奶得饱, 使他们得她丰盛的荣耀, 犹如挤奶,满心喜乐。
so that you may nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you may drink deeply and delight yourselves in her glorious abundance.
12 耶和华如此说: 我要使平安延及她,好像江河, 使列国的荣耀延及她,如同涨溢的河。 你们要从中享受; 你们必蒙抱在肋旁,摇弄在膝上。
For this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm, and bounced upon her knees.
13 母亲怎样安慰儿子,我就照样安慰你们; 你们也必因耶路撒冷得安慰。
As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
14 你们看见,就心中快乐; 你们的骨头必得滋润像嫩草一样; 而且耶和华的手向他仆人所行的必被人知道; 他也要向仇敌发恼恨。
When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.
15 看哪,耶和华必在火中降临; 他的车辇像旋风, 以烈怒施行报应, 以火焰施行责罚;
For behold, the LORD will come with fire— His chariots are like a whirlwind— to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 因为耶和华在一切有血气的人身上, 必以火与刀施行审判; 被耶和华所杀的必多。
For by fire and by His sword, the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh, and many will be slain by the LORD.
17 “那些分别为圣、洁净自己的,进入园内跟在其中一个人的后头,吃猪肉和仓鼠并可憎之物,他们必一同灭绝;这是耶和华说的。
“Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of swine and vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.
18 “我知道他们的行为和他们的意念。时候将到,我必将万民万族聚来,看见我的荣耀,
“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.
19 我要显神迹在他们中间。逃脱的,我要差到列国去,就是到他施、普勒、拉弓的路德和土巴、雅完,并素来没有听见我名声、没有看见我荣耀辽远的海岛;他们必将我的荣耀传扬在列国中。
I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will proclaim My glory among the nations.
20 他们必将你们的弟兄从列国中送回,使他们或骑马,或坐车,坐轿,骑骡子,骑独峰驼,到我的圣山耶路撒冷,作为供物献给耶和华,好像以色列人用洁净的器皿盛供物奉到耶和华的殿中;这是耶和华说的。
And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.”
21 耶和华说:我也必从他们中间取人为祭司,为利未人。”
“And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD.
22 耶和华说:我所要造的新天新地, 怎样在我面前长存; 你们的后裔和你们的名字也必照样长存。
“For just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me,” declares the LORD, “so your descendants and your name will endure.
23 每逢月朔、安息日, 凡有血气的必来在我面前下拜。 这是耶和华说的。
From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.
24 他们必出去观看那些违背我人的尸首; 因为他们的虫是不死的; 他们的火是不灭的; 凡有血气的都必憎恶他们。
“As they go forth, they will see the corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never be quenched, and they will be a horror to all mankind.”
