以赛亚书 8
1 耶和华对我说：“你取一个大牌，拿人所用的笔，写上‘玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯’。
And the Lord said to me: Take thee a great book, and write in it with a man’s pen. Take sway the spoils with speed, quickly take the prey.
2 我要用诚实的见证人，祭司乌利亚和耶比利家的儿子撒迦利亚记录这事。”
And I took unto me faithful witnesses, Urias the priest, and Zacharias the son of Barachias.
3 我—以赛亚与妻子同室；她怀孕生子，耶和华就对我说：“给他起名叫玛黑珥·沙拉勒·哈施·罢斯；
And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. And the Lord said to me: Call his name, Hasten to take away the spoils: Make haste to take away the prey.
4 因为在这小孩子不晓得叫父叫母之先，大马士革的财宝和撒马利亚的掳物必在亚述王面前搬了去。”
For before the child know to call his father and his mother, the strength of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of the Assyrians.
5 耶和华又晓谕我说：
And the Lord spoke to me again, saying:
6 “这百姓既厌弃西罗亚缓流的水，喜悦利汛和利玛利的儿子；
Forasmuch as this people hath cast away the waters of Siloe, that go with silence, and hath rather taken Basin, and the son of Romelia:
7 因此，主必使大河翻腾的水猛然冲来，就是亚述王和他所有的威势，必漫过一切的水道，涨过两岸；
Therefore behold the Lord will bring upon them the waters of the river strong and many, the king of the Assyrians, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and shall overflow all his banks,
8 必冲入犹大，涨溢泛滥，直到颈项。以马内利啊，他展开翅膀，遍满你的地。”
And shall pass through Juda, overflowing, and going over shall reach even to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Emmanuel.
9 列国的人民哪，任凭你们喧嚷，终必破坏； 远方的众人哪，当侧耳而听！ 任凭你们束起腰来，终必破坏； 你们束起腰来，终必破坏。
Gather yourselves together, O ye people, and be overcome, and give ear, all ye lands afar off: strengthen yourselves, and be overcome, gird yourselves, and be overcome.
10 任凭你们同谋，终归无有； 任凭你们言定，终不成立； 因为 神与我们同在。
Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because God is with us.
11 耶和华以大能的手，指教我不可行这百姓所行的道，对我这样说：
For thus saith the Lord to me: As he hath taught me, with a strong arm, that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
12 “这百姓说同谋背叛，你们不要说同谋背叛。他们所怕的，你们不要怕，也不要畏惧。
Say ye not: A conspiracy: for all that this people speaketh, is a conspiracy: neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13 但要尊万军之耶和华为圣，以他为你们所当怕的，所当畏惧的。
Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself: and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 他必作为圣所，却向以色列两家作绊脚的石头，跌人的磐石；向耶路撒冷的居民作为圈套和网罗。
And he shall be a sanctification to you. But for a stone or stumbling, and for a rock of offence to the two houses of Israel, for a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 许多人必在其上绊脚跌倒，而且跌碎，并陷入网罗，被缠住。”
And very many of them shall stumble and fall, and shall be broken in pieces, and shall be snared, and taken.
16 你要卷起律法书，在我门徒中间封住训诲。
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 我要等候那掩面不顾雅各家的耶和华；我也要仰望他。
And I will wait for the Lord, who hath hid his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 看哪，我与耶和华所给我的儿女，就是从住在锡安山万军之耶和华来的，在以色列中作为预兆和奇迹。
Behold I and my children, whom the Lord hath given me for a sign, and for a wonder in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Sion.
19 有人对你们说：“当求问那些交鬼的和行巫术的，就是声音绵蛮，言语微细的。”你们便回答说：“百姓不当求问自己的 神吗？岂可为活人求问死人呢？”
And when they shall say to you: Seek of pythons, and of diviners, who mutter in their enchantments: should not the people seek of their God, for the living of the dead?
20 人当以训诲和法度为标准；他们所说的，若不与此相符，必不得见晨光。
To the law rather, and to the testimony. And if they speak not according to this word, they shall not have the morning light.
21 他们必经过这地，受艰难，受饥饿；饥饿的时候，心中焦躁，咒骂自己的君王和自己的 神。
And they shall pass by it, they shall fall, and be hungry: and when they shall be hungry, they will be angry, and curse their king, and their God, and look upwards.
22 仰观上天，俯察下地，不料，尽是艰难、黑暗，和幽暗的痛苦。他们必被赶入乌黑的黑暗中去。
And they shall look to the earth, and behold trouble and darkness, weakness and distress, and a mist following them, and they cannot fly away from their distress.
