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，
Woe to them that make unrighteous decrees, That write oppressive decisions,
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。
To turn away the needy from judgment, And rob the poor of my people of their right; That the widows may become their prey, And that they may plunder the orphans.
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？
What will ye do in the day of visitation, And in the desolation which cometh from afar? To whom will ye flee for help, And where will ye leave 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。
Forsaken by me, they shall sink down among the prisoners, And fall among the slain. For all this his anger 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。
Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, The staff in whose hands is the instrument of my indignation!
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。
Against an impious nation I will send him, And against a people under my wrath I will give him a charge To gather the spoil, and seize the prey, And to trample them under foot like the mire of 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 he doth not so purpose, And his heart doth not so intend; But to destroy is in his heart, And to cut off a multitude of nations.
8 他說：我的臣僕豈不都是王嗎？
For he saith, “Are not my princes altogether 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？
Is not Calno as 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 hath seized the kingdoms of the idols, Whose graven images were more numerous 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？
Behold! as I have done to Samaria and her idols, So will I 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。」
But when the Lord hath accomplished his whole work upon Mount Zion and Jerusalem, Then will he punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, And the arrogance of his lofty 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 hath said: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom; for I am wise; I have removed the bounds of nations, I have plundered their treasures; As a hero have I brought down them that sat upon thrones.
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。
The riches of the nations hath my hand seized, as a nest; As one gathereth eggs that have been left, So have I gathered the whole world. And there was none that moved the wing, Or that opened the beak, or that chirped.”
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。
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? As if the rod should wield him that lifteth it! As if the staff should lift up him that 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。
Wherefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send upon his fat ones leanness, And under his glory shall he kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire.
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；
The light of Israel shall be a fire, And his Holy One a flame, Which shall burn and devour his thorns and briers 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。
The glory of his forest and of his fruitful field From the spirit even to the flesh shall he consume; It shall be with them as when a sick man fainteth.
19 他林中剩下的樹必稀少， 就是孩子也能寫其數。
The remaining trees of the forest shall be few, So that a child may write them down.
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。
In that day shall the remnant of Israel, and they that have escaped of the house of Jacob, no more lean upon him that smote them; They shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 所剩下的，就是雅各家所剩下的，必歸回全能的上帝。
The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty Potentate;
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 thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, Only a remnant of them shall return. The devastation is decreed; It shall overflow with 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 devastation and punishment doth the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, execute in the midst of the whole 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。
Yet thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Fear not, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, because of the Assyrian! With his rod indeed shall he smite thee, And lift up his staff against thee in the manner of 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。
But yet a very little while, and my indignation shall have past, And my anger shall destroy them.
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。
Jehovah of hosts shall raise up against him a scourge, As he smote Midian at the rock of Horeb, And as he lifted up the rod against the sea; Yea, he shall lift it up, as in Egypt.
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。」
In that day shall his burden be removed from thy shoulder, And his yoke from thy neck; Yea, thy yoke shall be broken, as that of a fat steer.
28 亞述王來到亞葉， 經過米磯崙， 在密抹安放輜重。
He is come to Aiath; he passeth through Migron; In Michmash he leaveth his baggage;
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 pass the strait; At Geba they make their night-quarters; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul fleeth.
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。
Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Hear, O Laish! Alas, poor Anathoth!
31 瑪得米那人躲避； 基柄的居民逃遁。
Madmenah hasteth away; The inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.
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。
Yet one day shall he rest at Nob, Then shall he shake his hand against the mount 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。
But behold! the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the branches with fearful force, And the high of stature shall be cut down, And the lofty shall be brought low.
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。
He shall hew the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon shall fall by a mighty hand.
