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 YHWH says to me, “Take a great tablet to yourself, and write on it with an engraving tool of man, To hurry spoil, enjoy 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 cause faithful witnesses to testify to me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.
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 draw near to the prophetess, and she conceives, and bears a son; and YHWH says to me, “Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
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 youth knows to cry, My father, and, My mother, one takes away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria, before the king of Asshur.”
5 耶和华又晓谕我说：
And YHWH adds to speak 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；
“Because that this people has refused The waters of Shiloah that go softly, And is rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
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 is bringing up on them, The waters of the river, the mighty and the great (The king of Asshur, and all his glory), And it has gone up over all its streams, And has gone on over all its 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 it has passed on into Judah, It has overflown and passed over, It comes to the neck, And the stretching out of its wings Has been the fullness of the breadth of your land, O Immanuel!
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。
Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all you far-off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken.
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, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it does not stand, Because of Immanuel!”
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 has YHWH spoken to me with strength of hand, and instructs me against walking 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。
“You do not say, A confederacy, To all to whom this people says, A confederacy, And its fear you do not fear, Nor declare fearful.
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。
YHWH of Hosts—Him you sanctify, And He [is] your Fear, and He 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 has been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of Israel, For a trap and for a snare 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 many among them have stumbled and fallen, And been broken, and snared, and captured.”
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 have waited for YHWH, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked 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 the children whom YHWH has given to me, [Are] for signs and for wonders in Israel, From YHWH of Hosts, who is dwelling in Mount Zion.
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 say to you, “Seek to those having familiar spirits, And to wizards, who chatter and mutter,” Does a people not seek to its God? To the dead on behalf of the living?
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 and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, “That there is no dawn to it.”
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 it has passed over into it, hardened and hungry, And it has come to pass, That it is hungry, and has been angry, And made light of its king, and of its God, And has looked 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 it looks attentively to the land, And behold, adversity and darkness! Dimness, distress, and thick darkness are driven away, But not the dimness for which she is in distress!
