以賽亞書 1
1 當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大王的時候，亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示，論到猶大和耶路撒冷。
The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 天哪，要聽！地啊，側耳而聽！ 因為耶和華說： 我養育兒女，將他們養大， 他們竟悖逆我。
Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.
3 牛認識主人， 驢認識主人的槽， 以色列卻不認識； 我的民卻不留意。
Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me.
4 嗐！犯罪的國民， 擔着罪孽的百姓； 行惡的種類， 敗壞的兒女！ 他們離棄耶和華， 藐視以色列的聖者， 與他生疏，往後退步。
O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.
5 你們為甚麼屢次悖逆， 還要受責打嗎？ 你們已經滿頭疼痛， 全心發昏。
Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble.
6 從腳掌到頭頂， 沒有一處完全的， 盡是傷口、青腫，與新打的傷痕， 都沒有收口，沒有纏裹， 也沒有用膏滋潤。
The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.
7 你們的地土已經荒涼； 你們的城邑被火焚毀。 你們的田地在你們眼前為外邦人所侵吞， 既被外邦人傾覆就成為荒涼。
Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.
8 僅存錫安城， 好像葡萄園的草棚， 瓜田的茅屋， 被圍困的城邑。
And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.
9 若不是萬軍之耶和華給我們稍留餘種， 我們早已像所多瑪、蛾摩拉的樣子了。
If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.
10 你們這所多瑪的官長啊， 要聽耶和華的話！ 你們這蛾摩拉的百姓啊， 要側耳聽我們上帝的訓誨！
Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
11 耶和華說： 你們所獻的許多祭物與我何益呢？ 公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油， 我已經夠了； 公牛的血，羊羔的血，公山羊的血， 我都不喜悅。
What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
12 你們來朝見我， 誰向你們討這些， 使你們踐踏我的院宇呢？
At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?
13 你們不要再獻虛浮的供物。 香品是我所憎惡的； 月朔和安息日，並宣召的大會， 也是我所憎惡的； 作罪孽，又守嚴肅會， 我也不能容忍。
Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.
14 你們的月朔和節期，我心裏恨惡， 我都以為麻煩； 我擔當，便不耐煩。
Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.
15 你們舉手禱告，我必遮眼不看； 就是你們多多地祈禱，我也不聽。 你們的手都滿了殺人的血。
And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.
16 你們要洗濯、自潔， 從我眼前除掉你們的惡行， 要止住作惡，
Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning;
17 學習行善， 尋求公平， 解救受欺壓的； 給孤兒伸冤， 為寡婦辨屈。
Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow.
18 耶和華說： 你們來，我們彼此辯論。 你們的罪雖像硃紅，必變成雪白； 雖紅如丹顏，必白如羊毛。
Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?
19 你們若甘心聽從， 必吃地上的美物，
If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;
20 若不聽從，反倒悖逆， 必被刀劍吞滅。 這是耶和華親口說的。
But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.
21 可歎，忠信的城變為妓女！ 從前充滿了公平， 公義居在其中， 現今卻有兇手居住。
The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.
22 你的銀子變為渣滓； 你的酒用水攙對。
Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.
23 你的官長居心悖逆， 與盜賊作伴， 各都喜愛賄賂， 追求贓私。 他們不為孤兒伸冤； 寡婦的案件也不得呈到他們面前。
Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.
24 因此，主－萬軍之耶和華、 以色列的大能者說： 哎！我要向我的對頭雪恨， 向我的敵人報仇。
For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;
25 我必反手加在你身上， 煉盡你的渣滓， 除淨你的雜質。
And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;
26 我也必復還你的審判官，像起初一樣， 復還你的謀士，像起先一般。 然後，你必稱為公義之城， 忠信之邑。
And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.
27 錫安必因公平得蒙救贖； 其中歸正的人必因公義得蒙救贖。
Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.
28 但悖逆的和犯罪的必一同敗亡； 離棄耶和華的必致消滅。
But a common destruction will overtake sinners and evil-doers together, and those who have gone away from the Lord will be cut off.
29 那等人必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧； 你們必因所選擇的園子蒙羞。
For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.
30 因為，你們必如葉子枯乾的橡樹， 好像無水澆灌的園子。
For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.
31 有權勢的必如麻瓤； 他的工作好像火星， 都要一同焚毀，無人撲滅。
And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.
