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 the earth is where I place my feet. So where will this house be that you're going to build for me? Where will I lie down to rest?
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。
I made everything; that's how it all came into existence, says the Lord. Those I look favorably on are humble and repentant, and they tremble when I speak.
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。
When someone sacrifices a bull it's like human sacrifice, and when someone sacrifices a lamb, it's like breaking the neck of a dog. When they present a grain offering it's like presenting pig's blood, and when they burn incense it's like worshiping an idol. Since they have chosen to act like this and to love such disgusting things,
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。
I will also choose to punish them severely and to terrify them, because I called out to them but no one answered; I spoke to them, but no one listened. Instead they did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
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！
Listen to what the Lord has to say, those of you who tremble when he speaks. This is what some of your people who hate you and throw you out have said, “Let the Lord be glorified, so we can see how happy you are!” but it's them who are going to be humiliated.
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 all the shouting from the city! Hear all the noise from the Temple! It's the sound of the Lord giving his enemies back what they deserve.
7 锡安未曾劬劳就生产， 未觉疼痛就生出男孩。
She gave birth before she went into labor, she delivered a boy before the pains came.
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 ever heard of anything like this? Who has seen this kind of thing before? Can a country be delivered in a day, can a nation be born in a moment? Yet as soon as Zion went into 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？
Would I bring a baby to the point of birth and then not deliver it? the Lord asks. Would I who deliver the baby stop it from being born? the Lord asks again.
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；
Celebrate with Jerusalem and be happy for her, everyone who loves her; celebrate with her and sing for joy, everyone who mourns 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。
Like a baby you can nurse at her breasts that bring comfort, drinking deeply and being satisfied by all she has to give.
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。
This is what the Lord says: Watch! I'm going to give her peace and prosperity like a flowing river, the wealth of nations like an overflowing stream. You will nurse and be carried on her hip and played with on 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。
Like a mother comforting her child, I will comfort you. You will be comforted in 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 this happening, you'll be happy deep inside, and you'll prosper like growing grass. The Lord's power will be recognized as blessing his servants and cursing 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；
Look! The Lord is coming surrounded by fire, his chariots whirling like the wind, to express his anger with fury, to give his reprimand in 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。
The Lord will execute judgment on everyone by fire and by his sword. There will be many killed 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 dedicate themselves and make themselves pure in order to enter the sacred gardens, to worship the idol placed in the center, and to eat pork and vermin and rats and other disgusting things—they will all die together, says 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，
I know what they're doing and what they're thinking. I will soon come to gather all nations and peoples of different languages. 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 give them a sign, and I will send some who survive to the nations. They will go to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians (who are famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant lands that haven't heard about me or seen my glory. They will announce 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。
They will bring back all your people from every nations to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord. They will come on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels, says the Lord. They will bring them in the same way the Israelites bring their grain offerings to the Lord's Temple using vessels that are ceremonially clean.
21 耶和华说：我也必从他们中间取人为祭司，为利未人。”
I will choose 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。
As the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will last forever, so your descendants and your reputation will also last forever, says the Lord.
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。
Everyone will come and worship me, from one New Moon to the next, and from one Sabbath to the next, 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。
They will go out and see the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me. The worms that eat them won't die, the fire that burns them won't go out, and everyone who sees them will be horrified.
