以賽亞書 28
1 禍哉！以法蓮的酒徒， 住在肥美谷的山上， 他們心裏高傲， 以所誇的為冠冕， 猶如將殘之花。
Woe to the crowne of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim: for his glorious beautie shall be a fading flowre, which is vpon the head of the valley of them that be fat, and are ouercome with wine.
2 看哪，主有一大能大力者， 像一陣冰雹， 像毀滅的暴風， 像漲溢的大水， 他必用手將冠冕摔落於地。
Beholde, the Lord hath a mightie and strong hoste, like a tempest of haile, and a whirlewinde that ouerthroweth, like a tempest of mightie waters that ouerflowe, which throwe to the ground mightily.
3 以法蓮高傲的酒徒， 他的冠冕必被踏在腳下。
They shall be troden vnder foote, euen the crowne and the pride of the drunkards of Ephraim.
4 那榮美將殘之花， 就是在肥美谷山上的， 必像夏令以前初熟的無花果； 看見這果的就注意， 一到手中就吞吃了。
For his glorious beautie shall be a fading floure, which is vpon the head of the valley of them that be fatte, and as the hastie fruite afore sommer, which when hee that looketh vpon it, seeth it, while it is in his hand, he eateth it.
5 到那日，萬軍之耶和華 必作他餘剩之民的榮冠華冕，
In that day shall the Lord of hostes be for a crowne of glory, and for a diademe of beautie vnto the residue of his people:
6 也作了在位上行審判者公平之靈， 並城門口打退仇敵者的力量。
And for a spirite of iudgement to him that sitteth in iudgement, and for strength vnto them that turne away the battell to the gate.
7 就是這地的人也因酒搖搖晃晃， 因濃酒東倒西歪。 祭司和先知因濃酒搖搖晃晃， 被酒所困， 因濃酒東倒西歪。 他們錯解默示， 謬行審判。
But they haue erred because of wine, and are out of the way by strong drinke: the priest and the prophet haue erred by strong drinke: they are swallowed vp with wine: they haue gone astraye through strong drinke: they faile in vision: they stumble in iudgement.
8 因為各席上滿了嘔吐的污穢， 無一處乾淨。
For all their tables are full of filthy vomiting: no place is cleane.
9 譏誚先知的說： 他要將知識指教誰呢？ 要使誰明白傳言呢？ 是那剛斷奶離懷的嗎？
Whome shall he teache knowledge? and whome shall he make to vnderstand the thinges that hee heareth? them that are weyned from the milke, and drawen from the breastes.
10 他竟命上加命，令上加令， 律上加律，例上加例， 這裏一點，那裏一點。
For precept must be vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vnto line, line vnto line, there a litle, and there a litle.
11 先知說：不然，主要藉異邦人的嘴唇 和外邦人的舌頭對這百姓說話。
For with a stammering tongue and with a strange language shall he speake vnto this people.
12 他曾對他們說： 你們要使疲乏人得安息， 這樣才得安息，才得舒暢， 他們卻不肯聽。
Vnto whome hee saide, This is the rest: giue rest to him that is weary: and this is the refreshing, but they would not heare.
13 所以，耶和華向他們說的話是 命上加命，令上加令， 律上加律，例上加例， 這裏一點，那裏一點， 以致他們前行仰面跌倒， 而且跌碎，並陷入網羅被纏住。
Therefore shall the worde of the Lord be vnto them precept vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vnto line, line vnto line, there a litle and there a litle, that they may goe, and fall backward, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
14 所以，你們這些褻慢的人， 就是轄管住在耶路撒冷這百姓的， 要聽耶和華的話。
Wherefore, heare the worde of the Lord, ye scornefull men that rule this people, which is at Ierusalem.
Because ye haue said, We haue made a couenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement: though a scourge runne ouer, and passe through, it shall not come at vs: for we haue made falshood our refuge, and vnder vanitie are we hid, (Sheol h7585)
16 所以，主耶和華如此說： 看哪，我在錫安放一塊石頭作為根基， 是試驗過的石頭， 是穩固根基，寶貴的房角石； 信靠的人必不着急。
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will laye in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation. Hee that beleeueth, shall not make haste.
17 我必以公平為準繩， 以公義為線鉈。 冰雹必沖去謊言的避所； 大水必漫過藏身之處。
Iudgement also will I laye to the rule, and righteousnesse to the balance, and the haile shall sweepe away the vaine confidence, and the waters shall ouerflowe the secret place.
And your couenant with death shalbe disanulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand: when a scourge shall runne ouer and passe through, then shall ye be trode downe by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 每逢經過必將你們擄去。 因為每早晨他必經過， 白晝黑夜都必如此。 明白傳言的必受驚恐。
When it passeth ouer, it shall take you away: for it shall passe through euery morning in the day, and in the night, and there shalbe onely feare to make you to vnderstand the hearing.
20 原來，床榻短，使人不能舒身； 被窩窄，使人不能遮體。
For the bed is streight that it can not suffice, and the couering narowe that one can not wrappe himselfe.
21 耶和華必興起，像在毗拉心山； 他必發怒，像在基遍谷， 好做成他的工，就是非常的工； 成就他的事，就是奇異的事。
For the Lord shall stand as in mount Perazim: hee shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his worke, his strage worke, and bring to passe his acte, his strange acte.
22 現在你們不可褻慢， 恐怕捆你們的綁索更結實了； 因為我從主－萬軍之耶和華那裏聽見， 已經決定在全地上施行滅絕的事。
Nowe therefore be no mockers, least your bondes increase: for I haue heard of the Lord of hostes a consumption, euen determined vpon the whole earth.
23 你們當側耳聽我的聲音， 留心聽我的言語。
Hearken ye, and heare my voyce: hearken ye, and heare my speach.
24 那耕地為要撒種的， 豈是常常耕地呢？ 豈是常常開墾耙地呢？
Doeth the plowe man plowe all the day, to sowe? doeth he open, and breake the clots of his ground?
25 他拉平了地面， 豈不就撒種小茴香， 播種大茴香， 按行列種小麥， 在定處種大麥， 在田邊種粗麥呢？
When he hath made it plaine, wil he not then sowe the fitches, and sowe cummin, and cast in wheat by measure, and the appointed barly and rye in their place?
26 因為他的上帝教導他務農相宜， 並且指教他。
For his God doeth instruct him to haue discretion, and doeth teach him.
27 原來打小茴香，不用尖利的器具， 軋大茴香，也不用碌碡； 但用杖打小茴香， 用棍打大茴香。
For fitches shall not be threshed with a threshing instrument, neither shall a cart wheele be turned about vpon the cummin: but ye fitches are beaten out with a staffe, and cummin with a rod.
28 做餅的糧食是用磨磨碎， 因它不必常打； 雖用碌碡和馬打散， 卻不磨它。
Bread corne when it is threshed, hee doeth not alway thresh it, neither doeth the wheele of his cart still make a noyse, neither will he breake it with the teeth thereof.
29 這也是出於萬軍之耶和華－ 他的謀略奇妙； 他的智慧廣大。
This also commeth from the Lord of hostes, which is wonderfull in counsell, and excellent in workes.
