以賽亞書 10
1 禍哉！那些設立不義之律例的 和記錄奸詐之判語的，
Cursed are those who make evil decisions, and the writers who make the records of their cruel acts:
2 為要屈枉窮乏人， 奪去我民中困苦人的理， 以寡婦當作擄物， 以孤兒當作掠物。
Who do wrong to the poor in their cause, and take away the right of the crushed among my people, so that they may have the property of widows, and get under their power those who have no father.
3 到降罰的日子，有災禍從遠方臨到， 那時，你們怎樣行呢？ 你們向誰逃奔求救呢？ 你們的榮耀存留何處呢？
And what will you do in the day of punishment, and in the destruction which is coming from far? to whom will you go for help, and what will become of your glory?
4 他們只得屈身在被擄的人以下， 仆倒在被殺的人以下。 雖然如此，耶和華的怒氣還未轉消； 他的手仍伸不縮。
... For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 亞述是我怒氣的棍， 手中拿我惱恨的杖。
Ho! Assyrian, the rod of my wrath, the instrument of my punishment!
6 我要打發他攻擊褻瀆的國民， 吩咐他攻擊我所惱怒的百姓， 搶財為擄物，奪貨為掠物， 將他們踐踏，像街上的泥土一樣。
I will send him against a nation of wrongdoers, and against the people of my wrath I will give him orders, to take their wealth in war, crushing them down like the dust in the streets.
7 然而，他不是這樣的意思； 他心也不這樣打算。 他心裏倒想毀滅， 剪除不少的國。
But this is not what is in his mind, and this is not his design; but his purpose is destruction, and the cutting off of more and more nations.
8 他說：我的臣僕豈不都是王嗎？
For he says, Are not all my captains kings?
9 迦勒挪豈不像迦基米施嗎？ 哈馬豈不像亞珥拔嗎？ 撒馬利亞豈不像大馬士革嗎？
Will not the fate of Calno be like that of Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 我手已經搆到有偶像的國； 這些國雕刻的偶像 過於耶路撒冷和撒馬利亞的偶像。
As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;
11 我怎樣待撒馬利亞和其中的偶像， 豈不照樣待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像嗎？
So, as I have done to Samaria and her images, I will do to Jerusalem and her images.
12 主在錫安山和耶路撒冷成就他一切工作的時候，主說：「我必罰亞述王自大的心和他高傲眼目的榮耀。」
For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.
13 因為他說： 我所成就的事是靠我手的能力 和我的智慧， 我本有聰明。 我挪移列國的地界， 搶奪他們所積蓄的財寶； 並且我像勇士，使坐寶座的降為卑。
For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my knowledge, for I am wise: and I have taken away the limits of the peoples' lands, and the stores of their wealth have become mine; and I have made towns low in the dust, sending destruction on those living in them;
14 我的手搆到列國的財寶， 好像人搆到鳥窩； 我也得了全地， 好像人拾起所棄的雀蛋。 沒有動翅膀的； 沒有張嘴的，也沒有鳴叫的。
And I have put my hands on the wealth of the peoples, as on the place where a bird has put her eggs; and as a man may take the eggs from which a bird has gone, so I have taken all the earth for myself: and not a wing was moved, and not a mouth gave out a sound.
15 斧豈可向用斧砍木的自誇呢？ 鋸豈可向用鋸的自大呢？ 好比棍掄起那舉棍的， 好比杖舉起那非木的人。
Will the axe say high-sounding words against him who is using it, or the blade be full of pride against him who is cutting with it? As if a rod had the power of shaking him who is using it, or as if a stick might take up him who is not wood.
16 因此，主－萬軍之耶和華 必使亞述王的肥壯人變為瘦弱， 在他的榮華之下必有火着起， 如同焚燒一樣。
For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, will make his fat become wasted; and in his inner parts a fire will be lighted like a burning flame.
17 以色列的光必如火； 他的聖者必如火焰。 在一日之間，將亞述王的荊棘 和蒺藜焚燒淨盡；
And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: wasting and burning up his thorns in one day.
18 又將他樹林和肥田的榮耀全然燒盡， 好像拿軍旗的昏過去一樣。
And he will put an end to the glory of his woods and of his planted fields, soul and body together; and it will be as when a man is wasted by disease.
19 他林中剩下的樹必稀少， 就是孩子也能寫其數。
And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.
20 到那日，以色列所剩下的和雅各家所逃脫的，不再倚靠那擊打他們的，卻要誠實倚靠耶和華－以色列的聖者。
And it will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
21 所剩下的，就是雅各家所剩下的，必歸回全能的上帝。
The rest, even the rest of Jacob, will come back to the Strong God.
22 以色列啊，你的百姓雖多如海沙，惟有剩下的歸回。原來滅絕的事已定，必有公義施行，如水漲溢。
For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.
23 因為主－萬軍之耶和華在全地之中必成就所定規的結局。
For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to make destruction complete in all the land.
24 所以，主－萬軍之耶和華如此說：「住錫安我的百姓啊，亞述王雖然用棍擊打你，又照埃及的樣子舉杖攻擊你，你卻不要怕他。
For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, says, O my people living in Zion, have no fear of the Assyrian, even if his rod comes on your back, and his stick is lifted up as in Egypt.
25 因為還有一點點時候，向你們發的忿恨就要完畢，我的怒氣要向他發作，使他滅亡。
For in a very short time my passion will be over, and my wrath will be turned to their destruction.
26 萬軍之耶和華要興起鞭來攻擊他，好像在俄立磐石那裏殺戮米甸人一樣。耶和華的杖要向海伸出，把杖舉起，像在埃及一樣。
And the Lord of armies will be shaking a whip against him, as when he overcame Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be lifted up against them as it was against the Egyptians.
27 到那日，亞述王的重擔必離開你的肩頭；他的軛必離開你的頸項；那軛也必因肥壯的緣故撐斷。」
And in that day the weight which he put on your back will be taken away, and his yoke broken from off your neck.
28 亞述王來到亞葉， 經過米磯崙， 在密抹安放輜重。
He has gone up from Pene-Rimmon, he has come to Aiath; he has gone past Migron, at Michmash he puts his forces in order.
29 他們過了隘口， 在迦巴住宿。 拉瑪人戰兢； 掃羅的基比亞人逃跑。
They have gone across the mountain; Geba will be our resting-place tonight, they say: Ramah is shaking with fear; Gibeah of Saul has gone in flight.
30 迦琳的居民哪，要高聲呼喊！ 萊煞人哪，須聽！ 哀哉！困苦的亞拿突啊。
Give a loud cry, daughter of Gallim; let Laishah give ear; let Anathoth give answer to her.
31 瑪得米那人躲避； 基柄的居民逃遁。
Madmenah has gone; the men of Gebim are putting their goods in a safe place.
32 當那日，亞述王要在挪伯歇兵， 向錫安女子的山－ 就是耶路撒冷的山－掄手攻他。
This very day he is stopping at Nob; he is shaking his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 看哪，主－萬軍之耶和華 以驚嚇削去樹枝； 長高的必被砍下， 高大的必被伐倒。
See, the Lord, the Lord of armies, is cutting off his branches with a great noise, and his strong ones are falling and his high ones are coming down.
34 稠密的樹林，他要用鐵器砍下； 黎巴嫩的樹木必被大能者伐倒。
And he is cutting down the thick places of the wood with an axe, and Lebanon with its tall trees is coming down.
