< 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。
This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw 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 happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to 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。
Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word 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 will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of Yahweh.
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 you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
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, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of 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 also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, 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。
Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t 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。
Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from 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 lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone will 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 there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—
for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
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 loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
The idols shall utterly 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。
Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
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。
In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to 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。
to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
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?
Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
