以賽亞書 26
1 當那日，在猶大地人必唱這歌說： 我們有堅固的城。 耶和華要將救恩定為城牆，為外郭。
In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark.
2 敞開城門， 使守信的義民得以進入。
Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter.
3 堅心倚賴你的， 你必保守他十分平安， 因為他倚靠你。
The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.
4 你們當倚靠耶和華直到永遠， 因為耶和華是永久的磐石。
You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever.
5 他使住高處的與高城一併敗落， 將城拆毀，拆平，直到塵埃，
For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to the dust.
6 要被腳踐踏， 就是被困苦人的腳和窮乏人的腳踐踏。
The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent.
7 義人的道是正直的； 你為正直的主，必修平義人的路。
The path of the just is upright; the difficult path of the just is right to walk in.
8 耶和華啊，我們在你行審判的路上等候你； 我們心裏所羨慕的是你的名， 就是你那可記念的名。
And in the path of your judgments, O Lord, we have endured for you. Your name and your remembrance are the desire of the soul.
9 夜間，我心中羨慕你； 我裏面的靈切切尋求你。 因為你在世上行審判的時候， 地上的居民就學習公義。
My soul has desired you in the night. But I will also watch for you with my spirit, in my inmost heart, from the morning. When you accomplish your judgments upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn justice.
10 以恩惠待惡人， 他仍不學習公義； 在正直的地上，他必行事不義， 也不注意耶和華的威嚴。
Let us take pity on the impious one, but he will not learn justice. In the land of the holy ones, he has done iniquity, and so he will not see the glory of the Lord.
11 耶和華啊，你的手高舉， 他們仍然不看； 卻要看你為百姓發的熱心，因而抱愧， 並且有火燒滅你的敵人。
Lord, let your hand be exalted, and let them not see it. May the envious people see and be confounded. And may fire devour your enemies.
12 耶和華啊，你必派定我們得平安， 因為我們所做的事都是你給我們成就的。
Lord, you will give us peace. For all our works have been wrought for us by you.
13 耶和華－我們的上帝啊， 在你以外曾有別的主管轄我們， 但我們專要倚靠你，提你的名。
O Lord our God, other lords have possessed us apart from you, but in you alone let us remember your name.
14 他們死了，必不能再活； 他們去世，必不能再起； 因為你刑罰他們，毀滅他們， 他們的名號就全然消滅。
Let not the dead live; let not the giants rise up again. For this reason, you have visited and destroyed them, and you have perished all remembrance of them.
15 耶和華啊，你增添國民， 你增添國民； 你得了榮耀， 又擴張地的四境。
You have been lenient to the people, O Lord, lenient to the people. But have you been glorified? You have removed all the limits of the earth.
16 耶和華啊，他們在急難中尋求你； 你的懲罰臨到他們身上， 他們就傾心吐膽禱告你。
Lord, they have sought you in anguish. Your doctrine was with them, amid the tribulation of murmuring.
17 婦人懷孕，臨產疼痛， 在痛苦之中喊叫； 耶和華啊，我們在你面前也是如此。
Like a woman who has conceived and is approaching the time for delivery, who, in anguish, cries out in her pains, so have we become before your face, O Lord.
18 我們也曾懷孕疼痛， 所產的竟像風一樣。 我們在地上未曾行甚麼拯救的事； 世上的居民也未曾敗落。
We have conceived, and it is as if we were in labor, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought forth salvation on the earth. For this reason, the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
19 死人要復活， 屍首要興起。 睡在塵埃的啊，要醒起歌唱！ 因你的甘露好像菜蔬上的甘露， 地也要交出死人來。
Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination.
20 我的百姓啊，你們要來進入內室， 關上門，隱藏片時， 等到忿怒過去。
Go, my people! Enter your chambers. Close your doors behind you. Conceal yourselves for a very brief time, until the indignation has passed over you.
21 因為耶和華從他的居所出來， 要刑罰地上居民的罪孽。 地也必露出其中的血， 不再掩蓋被殺的人。
For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place, so that he may visit the iniquity of each inhabitant of the earth against him. And the earth will reveal its blood, and it will no longer cover its slain.
