< 以賽亞書 2 >
1 亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示,論到猶大和耶路撒冷。
The word, which was revealed to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 末後的日子,耶和華殿的山必堅立, 超乎諸山,高舉過於萬嶺; 萬民都要流歸這山。
It shall come to pass in the last days, That the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established at the head of the mountains, And exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow unto it.
3 必有許多國的民前往,說: 來吧,我們登耶和華的山, 奔雅各上帝的殿。 主必將他的道教訓我們; 我們也要行他的路。 因為訓誨必出於錫安; 耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。
And many kingdoms shall go, and shall say, “Come, let us go to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us his ways, And that we may walk in his paths!” For from Zion shall go forth a law, And the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
4 他必在列國中施行審判, 為許多國民斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成犂頭, 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國; 他們也不再學習戰事。
He shall be a judge of the nations, And an umpire of many kingdoms; And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning-hooks; Nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war any more.
O house of Jacob, come ye, And let us walk in the light of Jehovah!
6 耶和華,你離棄了你百姓雅各家, 是因他們充滿了東方的風俗, 作觀兆的,像非利士人一樣, 並與外邦人擊掌。
For thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, Because they are full of the East, And are sorcerers, like the Philistines, And strike hands with a foreign race!
7 他們的國滿了金銀, 財寶也無窮; 他們的地滿了馬匹, 車輛也無數。
Their land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures; Their land is full of horses, And there is no end to their chariots;
8 他們的地滿了偶像; 他們跪拜自己手所造的, 就是自己指頭所做的。
Their land is full of idols; They bow down to the work of their own hands, To that which their own fingers have made.
9 卑賤人屈膝; 尊貴人下跪; 所以不可饒恕他們。
Therefore shall the mean man be bowed down, And the great man be brought low; And thou wilt not forgive them!
10 你當進入巖穴,藏在土中, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
Go into the rock, hide yourselves in the dust, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty!
11 到那日,眼目高傲的必降為卑; 性情狂傲的都必屈膝; 惟獨耶和華被尊崇。
The proud looks of man shall be humbled, And the loftiness of mortals shall be brought low; Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 必有萬軍耶和華降罰的一個日子, 要臨到驕傲狂妄的; 一切自高的都必降為卑;
For Jehovah of hosts holdeth a day of judgment Against all that is proud and lofty; Against all that is exalted, and it shall be brought low;
Against all the cedars of Lebanon, the high and the exalted, And against all the oaks of Bashan;
Against all the lofty mountains, And against all the high hills;
Against every lofty tower, And against every high wall;
Against all the ships of Tarshish, And against all their beautiful flags.
17 驕傲的必屈膝; 狂妄的必降卑。 在那日,惟獨耶和華被尊崇;
The pride of man shall be humbled; The loftiness of mortals shall be brought low; Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
The idols shall wholly pass away;
19 耶和華興起,使地大震動的時候, 人就進入石洞,進入土穴, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
And men shall go into clefts of the rocks, and caves of the earth, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty, When he ariseth to make the earth tremble.
20 到那日,人必將為拜而造的金偶像、銀偶像 拋給田鼠和蝙蝠。
At that time shall men cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they have made to worship, To the moles and the bats;
21 到耶和華興起,使地大震動的時候, 人好進入磐石洞中和巖石穴裏, 躲避耶和華的驚嚇和他威嚴的榮光。
Fleeing into caves of the rocks, and clefts of the craggy rocks, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty, When he ariseth to make the earth tremble.
22 你們休要倚靠世人。 他鼻孔裏不過有氣息; 他在一切事上可算甚麼呢?
Trust, then, no more in man, Whose breath is in his nostrils! For what account is to be made of him!
