< 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。
Wo to the coroun of pride, to the drunkun men of Effraym, and to the flour fallynge doun of the glorie of the ful out ioiyng therof, that weren in the cop of the fatteste valei, and erriden of wyn.
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。
Lo! the myyti and strong Lord, as the feersnesse of hail, a whirlwynd brekynge togidere, as the fersnesse of many watris flowynge, and sent out on a large lond.
The coroun of pride of the drunken men of Effraym schal be defoulid with feet,
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。
and the flour of glorie of the ful out ioiyng of hym, that is on the cop of valei of fat thingis, schal be fallyng doun, as a tymeli thing bifore the ripenesse of heruest; which whanne a man seynge biholdith, anoon as he takith with hond, he schal deuoure 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 dai the Lord of oostis schal be a coroun of glorie, and a garlond of ful out ioiyng, to the residue of his puple;
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 a spirit of doom to hym that sittith on the trone, and strengthe to hem that turnen ayen fro batel to the yate.
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 also thei knewen not for wyn, and erriden for drunkenesse; the preest and profete knewen not for drunkenesse; thei weren sopun up of wyn, thei erriden in drunkenesse; thei knewen not a profete, thei knewen not doom.
For whi alle bordis weren fillid with spuyng and filthis, so that ther was no more place.
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?
Whom schal he teche kunnyng, and whom schal he make to vndurstonde heryng? Men wenyd fro mylk, men drawun awei fro tetis.
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 whi comaunde thou, comaunde thou ayen; comaunde thou, comaunde thou ayen; abide thou, abide thou ayen; abide thou, abide thou ayen; a litil there, a litil there.
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 whi in speche of lippe, and in other langage he schal speke to this puple,
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。
to which he seide, This is my reste; refreische ye a weri man, and this is my refreischyng; and thei nolden here.
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。
And the word of the Lord schal be to hem, Sende thou, sende thou ayen; send thou, sende thou ayen; abide thou, abide thou ayen; abide thou, abide thou ayen; a litil there, a litil there; that thei go, and falle backward, and be al to-brokun, and be snarid, and be takun.
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。
For this thing, ye men scorneris, that ben lordis ouer my puple which is in Jerusalem, here the word of the Lord.
15 你們曾說: 我們與死亡立約, 與陰間結盟; 敵軍如水漲漫經過的時候, 必不臨到我們; 因我們以謊言為避所, 在虛假以下藏身。 (Sheol )
For ye seiden, We han smyte a boond of pees with deth, and we han maad couenaunt with helle; a scourge flowynge whanne it schal passe, schal not come on vs, for we han set a leesyng oure hope, and we ben kyuered with a leesyng. (Sheol )
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。
Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal sende in the foundementis of Sion a corner stoon preciouse, preuyd, foundid in the foundement; he that bileueth, schal not haaste.
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。
And Y schal sette doom in weiyte, and riytfulnesse in mesure; and hail schal distrie the hope of leesyng, and watris schulen flowe on proteccioun. And youre boond of pees with deth schal be don awei,
18 你們與死亡所立的約必然廢掉, 與陰間所結的盟必立不住。 敵軍如水漲漫經過的時候, 你們必被他踐踏; (Sheol )
and youre couenaunt with helle schal not stonde; whanne the scourge flowynge schal passe, ye schulen be to it in to defoulyng. (Sheol )
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。
Whanne euer it schal passe, it schal take awei yow; for whi erli in the grey morewtid it schal passe, in dai and niyt; and oonli trauel aloone schal yyue vndurstondyng to heryng.
20 原來,床榻短,使人不能舒身; 被窩窄,使人不能遮體。
Forsothe the bed is streit, so that the tother falle doun; and a schort mentil schal not hile euer either.
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 as in the hil of departyngis the Lord schal stonde, as in the valei, which is in Gabaon, he schal be wroth, that he do his werk; his werk alien, that he worche his werk; his werk is straunge fro hym.
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。
And now nyle ye scorne, lest perauenture youre boondis be maad streit togidere; for Y herde of the Lord God of oostis, endyng and abreggyng on al erthe.
Perseyue ye with eeris, and here ye my vois; perseyue ye, and here ye my speche.
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?
Whether he that erith, schal ere al dai, for to sowe, and schal be kerue, and purge his londe?
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?
Whether whanne he hath maad euene the face therof, schal he not sowe gith, and sprenge abrood comyn? and he schal not sette wheete bi ordre, and barli, and mylium, and fetchis in his coostis?
And his God schal teche hym, in doom he schal teche hym.
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。
Forsothe gith schal not be threischid in sawis, and a wheel of a wayn schal not cumpasse on comyn; but gith schal be betun out with a yerd, and comyn with a staf.
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。
Sotheli breed schal be maad lesse, but he that threischith schal not threische it with outen ende, nether schal trauele it with a wheel of a wayn, nether schal make it lesse with hise clees.
29 這也是出於萬軍之耶和華- 他的謀略奇妙; 他的智慧廣大。
And this thing yede out of the Lord God of oostis, that he schulde make wondirful councel, and magnefie riytfulnesse.
