以賽亞書 29
1 唉！亞利伊勒，亞利伊勒， 大衛安營的城， 任憑你年上加年， 節期照常周流。
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city of David's encampment! Add ye year to year; let the feasts come round.
2 我終必使亞利伊勒困難； 她必悲傷哀號， 我卻仍以她為亞利伊勒。
But I will distress Ariel, and there shall be sorrow and sadness; and it shall be unto me as an Ariel.
3 我必四圍安營攻擊你， 屯兵圍困你， 築壘攻擊你。
And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with watch-posts, and I will raise forts against thee.
4 你必敗落，從地中說話； 你的言語必微細出於塵埃。 你的聲音必像那交鬼者的聲音出於地； 你的言語低低微微出於塵埃。
And thou shalt be brought low, thou shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall come low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 你仇敵的群眾，卻要像細塵； 強暴人的群眾，也要像飛糠。 這事必頃刻之間忽然臨到。
And the multitude of thine enemies shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away; and it shall be in an instant, suddenly.
6 萬軍之耶和華必用雷轟、地震、大聲、旋風、暴風， 並吞滅的火焰，向她討罪。
Thou shalt be visited by Jehovah of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 那時，攻擊亞利伊勒列國的群眾， 就是一切攻擊亞利伊勒和她的保障， 並使她困難的， 必如夢景，如夜間的異象；
And the multitude of all the nations that war against Ariel, even all that war against her and her fortifications, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 又必像飢餓的人夢中吃飯， 醒了仍覺腹空； 或像口渴的人夢中喝水， 醒了仍覺發昏，心裏想喝。 攻擊錫安山列國的群眾也必如此。
It shall even be as when the hungry dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; and he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when the thirsty dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; and he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul craveth: so shall the multitude of all the nations be that war against mount Zion.
9 你們等候驚奇吧！ 你們宴樂昏迷吧！ 他們醉了，卻非因酒； 他們東倒西歪，卻非因濃酒。
Be astounded and astonished, blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 因為耶和華將沉睡的靈澆灌你們， 封閉你們的眼， 蒙蓋你們的頭。 你們的眼就是先知； 你們的頭就是先見。
For Jehovah hath poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes; the prophets and your chiefs, the seers, hath he covered.
11 所有的默示，你們看如封住的書卷，人將這書卷交給識字的，說：「請念吧！」他說：「我不能念，因為是封住了。」
And the whole vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one that can read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed.
12 又將這書卷交給不識字的人，說：「請念吧！」他說：「我不識字。」
And they give the book to him that cannot read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot read.
13 主說：因為這百姓親近我， 用嘴唇尊敬我， 心卻遠離我； 他們敬畏我， 不過是領受人的吩咐。
And the Lord saith, Forasmuch as this people draw near with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is removed far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught of men;
14 所以，我在這百姓中要行奇妙的事， 就是奇妙又奇妙的事。 他們智慧人的智慧必然消滅， 聰明人的聰明必然隱藏。
therefore, behold, I will proceed to do marvellously with this people, to do marvellously, even with wonder, and the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hid.
15 禍哉！那些向耶和華深藏謀略的， 又在暗中行事，說： 誰看見我們呢？ 誰知道我們呢？
Woe unto them that hide deep, far from Jehovah, their counsel! And their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16 你們把事顛倒了， 豈可看窯匠如泥嗎？ 被製作的物豈可論製作物的說： 他沒有製作我？ 或是被創造的物論造物的說： 他沒有聰明？
[Oh] your perverseness! — Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay, so that the work should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?
17 黎巴嫩變為肥田， 肥田看如樹林， 不是只有一點點時候嗎？
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 那時，聾子必聽見這書上的話； 瞎子的眼必從迷矇黑暗中得以看見。
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and, out of obscurity and out of darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;
19 謙卑人必因耶和華增添歡喜； 人間貧窮的必因以色列的聖者快樂。
and the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the needy among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 因為，強暴人已歸無有， 褻慢人已經滅絕， 一切找機會作孽的都被剪除。
For the terrible one shall come to nought, and the scorner shall be no more, and all that watch for iniquity shall be cut off,
21 他們在爭訟的事上定無罪的為有罪， 為城門口責備人的設下網羅， 用虛無的事屈枉義人。
that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and pervert [the judgment of] the righteous by futility.
22 所以，救贖亞伯拉罕的耶和華 論雅各家如此說： 雅各必不再羞愧， 面容也不致變色。
Therefore thus saith Jehovah who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now be pale;
23 但他看見他的眾子， 就是我手的工作在他那裏， 他們必尊我的名為聖， 必尊雅各的聖者為聖， 必敬畏以色列的上帝。
for when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall hallow my name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 心中迷糊的必得明白； 發怨言的必受訓誨。
And they that are of erring spirit shall know understanding, and the disobedient shall learn doctrine.
