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 sung is this song in the land of Judah: 'We have a strong city, Salvation He doth make walls and bulwark.
2 敞開城門， 使守信的義民得以進入。
Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation, Preserving stedfastness.
3 堅心倚賴你的， 你必保守他十分平安， 因為他倚靠你。
An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace — peace! For in Thee it is confident.
4 你們當倚靠耶和華直到永遠， 因為耶和華是永久的磐石。
Trust ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah [is] a rock of ages,
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 bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it to come unto the dust,
6 要被腳踐踏， 就是被困苦人的腳和窮乏人的腳踐踏。
Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor — steps of the weak.
7 義人的道是正直的； 你為正直的主，必修平義人的路。
The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One, The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder.
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。
Also, [in] the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited [for] Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance [Is] 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。
[With] my soul I desired Thee in the night, Also, [with] my spirit within me I seek Thee earnestly, For when Thy judgments [are] on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned righteousness.
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。
The wicked findeth favour, He hath not learned righteousness, In a land of straightforwardness he dealeth perversely, And seeth not the excellency of Jehovah.
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。
O Jehovah, high [is] Thy hand — they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire — Thine adversaries, consumeth them.
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。
O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.
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 Jehovah our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only, by Thee we make mention of Thy 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。
Dead — they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.
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。
Thou hast added to the nation, O Jehovah, Thou hast added to the nation, Thou hast been honoured, Thou hast put far off all the ends of 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。
O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement [is] on them.
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。
When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is pained — she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy face, O Jehovah.
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, we have been pained. We have brought forth as it were wind, Salvation we do not work in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.
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。
'Thy dead live — My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs [is] thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.
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。
Come, My people, enter into thy inner chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, Hide thyself shortly a moment till the indignation pass over.
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, lo, Jehovah is coming out of His place, To charge the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth upon him, And revealed hath the earth her blood, Nor doth she cover any more her slain!'
