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 which David took: year is added to year: the solemnities are at an end.
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。
And I will make a trench about Ariel, and it shall be in sorrow and mourning, and it shall be to me as Ariel.
3 我必四圍安營攻擊你， 屯兵圍困你， 築壘攻擊你。
And I will make a circle round about thee, and will cast up a rampart against thee, and raise up bulwarks to besiege 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。
Thou shalt be brought down, thou shalt speak out of the earth, and thy speech shall be heard out of the ground: and thy voice shall be from the earth like that of the python, and out of the ground thy speech shall mutter.
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 them that fan thee, shall be like small dust: and as ashes passing away, the multitude of them that have prevailed against thee.
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。
And it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest, and with 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 nations that have fought against Ariel, shall be as the dream of a vision by night, and all that have fought, and besieged and prevailed against it.
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。
And as he that is hungry dreameth, and eateth, but when he is awake, his soul is empty: and as he that is thirsty dreameth, and drinketh, and after he is awake, is yet faint with thirst, and his soul is empty: so shall be the multitude of all the Gentiles, that have fought against mount Sion.
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 astonished, and wander, waver, and stagger: be drunk, and not with wine: stagger, and not with drunkenness.
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 the Lord hath mingled for you the spirit of a deep sleep, he will shut up your eyes, he will cover your prophets and princes, that see visions.
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 vision of all shall be unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which when they shall deliver to one that is learned, they shall say: Read this: and he shall answer: 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 the book shall be given to one that knoweth no letters, and it shall be said to him: Read: and he shall answer: I know no letters.
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 said: Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips glorify me, but their heart is far from me, and they have feared me with the commandment and doctrines 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 cause an admiration in this people, by a great and wonderful miracle: for wisdom shall perish from their wise men, and the understanding of their prudent men 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 to you that are deep of heart, to hide your counsel from the Lord: 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？
This thought of yours is perverse: as if the clay should think against the potter, and the work should say to the maker thereof: Thou madest me not: or the thing framed should say to him that fashioned it: Thou understandest not.
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 Libanus shall be turned into charmel, and charmel 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 the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and out of darkness and obscurity 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 the Lord, and the poor 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 he that did prevail hath failed, the scorner is consumed, and they are all cut off that watched for iniquity:
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 made men sin by word, and supplanted him that reproved them in the gate, and declined in vain from the just.
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 the Lord to the house of Jacob, he that redeemed Abraham: Jacob shall not now be confounded, neither shall his countenance now be ashamed:
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。
But when he shall see his children, the work of my hands in the midst of him sanctifying my name, and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall glorify 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 erred in spirit, shall know understanding, and they that murmured, shall learn the law.
