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, Ariel, The city of the encampment of David! Add year to year, let festivals go 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。
And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it hath been lamentation and mourning, And it hath been 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 encamped, O babbler, against thee, And I laid siege against thee — a camp. And I raised up against thee bulwarks.
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 hast been low, From the earth thou speakest, And from the dust makest thy saying low, And thy voice hath been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And from the dust thy saying whisperest,
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 as small dust hath been The multitude of those scattering thee, And as chaff passing on the multitude of the terrible, And it hath been at 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。
By Jehovah of Hosts thou art inspected, With thunder, and with an earthquake, And great noise, hurricane, and whirlwind, And 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 as a dream, a vision of night, hath been The multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her.
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 hath been, as when the hungry dreameth, And lo, he is eating, And he hath waked, and empty [is] his soul, And as when the thirsty dreameth, And lo, he is drinking, and he hath waked, And lo, he is weary, and his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring 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。
Tarry and wonder, look ye, yea, look, Be drunk, and not with wine, Stagger, and 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 poured out on you hath Jehovah a spirit of deep sleep, And He closeth your eyes — the prophets, And your heads — the seers — 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 vision of the whole is to you, As words of the sealed book, That they give unto one knowing books, Saying, 'Read this, we pray thee,' And he hath said, 'I am not able, 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 is given to him who hath not known books, Saying, 'Read this, we pray thee,' And he hath said, 'I have not known books.'
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: Because drawn near hath this people, with its mouth, And with its lips they have honoured Me, And its heart it hath put far off from Me, And their fear of Me is — A precept of men is taught!
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, lo, I am adding to do wonderfully with this people, A wonder, and a marvel, And perished hath the wisdom of its wise ones, And the understanding of its intelligent ones hideth itself.'
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] those going deep from Jehovah to hide counsel, And whose works have been in darkness. And they say, 'Who is seeing us? And who is knowing 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？
Your perversion! as clay is the potter esteemed? That the work saith of its maker, 'He hath not made me?' And the framed thing said of its framer, 'He did not understand?'
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, And turned hath Lebanon to a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned?
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 heard in that day have the deaf the words of a book, And out of thick darkness, and out of darkness, The eyes of the blind do 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 humble have added joy in Jehovah, And the poor among men In the Holy One of Israel rejoice.
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 ceased hath the terrible one, And consumed hath been the scorner, And cut off have been all watching 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。
Causing men to sin in word, And for a reprover in the gate lay a snare, And turn aside into emptiness the righteous.
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 said Jehovah, Who ransomed Abraham, Concerning the house of Jacob: 'Not now ashamed is Jacob, Nor now doth his face become 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 in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in his midst, They sanctify My name, And have sanctified the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel they declare fearful.
24 心中迷糊的必得明白； 發怨言的必受訓誨。
And the erring in spirit have known understanding, And murmurers learn doctrine!'
