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。
Ah altar, altar of the citie that Dauid dwelt in: adde yere vnto yere: let them kill lambs.
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 wil bring the altar into distresse, and there shalbe heauines and sorowe, and it shall be vnto me like an altar.
3 我必四圍安營攻擊你， 屯兵圍困你， 築壘攻擊你。
And I wil besiege thee as a circle, and fight against thee on a mount, and will cast vp ramparts 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。
So shalt thou be humbled, and shalt speake out of the ground, and thy speach shalbe as out of the dust: thy voyce also shall be out of the ground like him that hath a spirite of diuination, and thy talking 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。
Moreouer, the multitude of thy strangers shalbe like small dust, and the multitude of strong men shalbe as chaffe that passeth away, and it shall be in a moment, euen 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 of the Lord of hostes with thunder, and shaking, and a great noyse, a whirlewinde, and a tempest, and a flame of a deuouring 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 fight against the altar, shalbe as a dreame or vision by night: euen all they that make the warre against it, and strong holdes against it, and lay siege vnto 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 it shalbe like as an hungry man dreameth, and beholde, he eateth: and when he awaketh, his soule is emptie: or like as a thirsty man dreameth, and loe, he is drinking, and when he awaketh, beholde, he is faint, and his soule longeth: so shall the multitude of all nations be that fight 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。
Stay your selues, and wonder: they are blinde, and make you blinde: they are drunken but not with wine: they stagger, but not by strong drinke.
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 couered you with a spirite of slumber, and hath shut vp your eyes: the Prophets, and your chiefe Seers hath he couered.
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 them all is become vnto you, as the wordes of a booke that is sealed vp, which they deliuer to one that can reade, saying, Reade this, I pray thee. Then shall he say, I can not: 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 booke is giuen vnto him that can not reade, saying, Reade this, I pray thee. And he shall say, I can not reade.
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。
Therefore the Lord sayd, Because this people come neere vnto me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but haue remooued their heart farre from me, and their feare toward me was taught by the precept 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 wil againe doe a marueilous worke in this people, euen a marueilous worke, and a wonder: for the wisdome of their wise men shall perish, and the vnderstanding of their prudent men shalbe 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？
Wo vnto them that seeke deepe to hide their counsell from the Lord: for their workes are in darkenes, and they say, Who seeth vs? and who knoweth vs?
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？
Your turning of deuises shall it not be esteemed as the potters clay? for shall the worke say of him that made it, Hee made me not? or the thing formed, say of him that facioned it, He had none vnderstanding?
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 but a litle while, and Lebanon shall be turned into Carmel? and Carmel shall be counted 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 deafe heare the wordes of the booke, and the eyes of the blinde shall see out of obscuritie, and out of darkenesse.
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。
The meeke in the Lord shall receiue ioye againe, and the poore men shall reioyce 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 cruel man shall cease, and the scornefull shalbe consumed: and all that hasted to iniquitie, shalbe 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。
Which made a man to sinne in ye worde, and tooke him in a snare: which reproued them in the gate, and made the iust to fall without cause.
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 sayth the Lord vnto the house of Iaakob, euen hee that redeemed Abraham, Iaakob shall not now be confounded, neither now shall his face 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。
But when he seeth his children, the worke of mine hands, in the mids of him, they shall sanctifie my Name, and sanctifie the holy one of Iaakob, and shall feare the God of Israel.
24 心中迷糊的必得明白； 發怨言的必受訓誨。
Then they that erred in spirit, shall haue vnderstanding, and they that murmured, shall learne doctrine.
