以賽亞書 30
1 耶和華說： 禍哉！這悖逆的兒女。 他們同謀，卻不由於我， 結盟，卻不由於我的靈， 以致罪上加罪；
Wo to the rebellious children, sayth the Lord, that take counsell, but not of me, and couer with a couering, but not by my spirit, that they may lay sinne vpon sinne:
2 起身下埃及去，並沒有求問我； 要靠法老的力量加添自己的力量， 並投在埃及的蔭下。
Which walke forth to goe downe into Egypt (and haue not asked at my mouth) to strengthen them selues with the strength of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadowe of Egypt.
3 所以，法老的力量必作你們的羞辱； 投在埃及的蔭下，要為你們的慚愧。
But the strength of Pharaoh shalbe your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 他們的首領已在瑣安； 他們的使臣到了哈內斯。
For his princes were at Zoan, and his Ambassadours came vnto Hanes.
5 他們必因那不利於他們的民蒙羞。 那民並非幫助，也非利益， 只作羞恥凌辱。
They shalbe all ashamed of the people that cannot profite them, nor helpe nor doe them good, but shalbe a shame and also a reproche.
6 論南方牲畜的默示： 他們把財物馱在驢駒的脊背上， 將寶物馱在駱駝的肉鞍上， 經過艱難困苦之地， 就是公獅、母獅、蝮蛇、火焰的飛龍之地， 往那不利於他們的民那裏去。
The burden of the beasts of the South, in a land of trouble and anguish, from whence shall come the yong and olde lyon, the viper and fierie flying serpent against them that shall beare their riches vpon the shoulders of the coltes, and their treasures vpon the bounches of the camels, to a people that cannot profite.
7 埃及的幫助是徒然無益的； 所以我稱她為「坐而不動的拉哈伯」。
For the Egyptians are vanitie, and they shall helpe in vaine. Therefore haue I cried vnto her, Their strength is to sit still.
8 現今你去， 在他們面前將這話刻在版上， 寫在書上， 以便傳留後世，直到永永遠遠。
Now go, and write it before them in a table, and note it in a booke that it may be for the last day for euer and euer:
9 因為他們是悖逆的百姓、說謊的兒女， 不肯聽從耶和華訓誨的兒女。
That it is a rebellious people, lying children, and children that would not heare the law of the Lord.
10 他們對先見說：不要望見不吉利的事， 對先知說：不要向我們講正直的話； 要向我們說柔和的話， 言虛幻的事。
Which say vnto the Seers, See not: and to the Prophets, Prophecie not vnto vs right things: but speake flattering things vnto vs: prophecie errours.
11 你們要離棄正道，偏離直路， 不要在我們面前再提說以色列的聖者。
Depart out of the way: go aside out of the path: cause the holy one of Israel to cease from vs.
12 所以，以色列的聖者如此說： 因為你們藐視這訓誨的話， 倚賴欺壓和乖僻，以此為可靠的，
Therefoe thus saith the holy one of Israel, Because you haue cast off this worde, and trust in violence, and wickednes, and stay thereupon,
13 故此，這罪孽在你們身上， 好像將要破裂凸出來的高牆， 頃刻之間忽然坍塌；
Therefore this iniquitie shalbe vnto you as a breach that falleth, or a swelling in an hie wall, whose breaking commeth suddenly in a moment.
14 要被打碎，好像把窯匠的瓦器打碎， 毫不顧惜， 甚至碎塊中找不到一片可用以從爐內取火， 從池中舀水。
And the breaking thereof is like the breaking of a potters pot, which is broken without pitie, and in the breaking thereof is not found a sheard to take fire out of the hearth, or to take water out of the pit.
15 主耶和華－以色列的聖者曾如此說： 你們得救在乎歸回安息； 你們得力在乎平靜安穩； 你們竟自不肯。
For thus sayd the Lord God, the Holy one of Israel, In rest and quietnes shall ye be saued: in quietnes and in confidence shall be your strength, but ye would not.
16 你們卻說：不然，我們要騎馬奔走。 所以你們必然奔走； 又說：我們要騎飛快的牲口。 所以追趕你們的，也必飛快。
For ye haue sayd, No, but we wil flee away vpon horses. Therefore shall ye flee. We will ride vpon the swiftest. Therefore shall your persecuters be swifter.
17 一人叱喝，必令千人逃跑； 五人叱喝，你們都必逃跑； 以致剩下的，好像山頂的旗杆， 岡上的大旗。
A thousand as one shall flee at the rebuke of one: at the rebuke of fiue shall ye flee, till ye be left as a ship maste vpon the top of a mountaine, and as a beaken vpon an hill.
18 耶和華必然等候，要施恩給你們； 必然興起，好憐憫你們。 因為耶和華是公平的上帝； 凡等候他的都是有福的！
Yet therefore will the Lord waite, that he may haue mercy vpon you, and therefore wil he be exalted, that hee may haue compassion vpon you: for the Lord is the God of iudgement. Blessed are all they that waite for him.
19 百姓必在錫安、在耶路撒冷居住；你不再哭泣。主必因你哀求的聲音施恩給你；他聽見的時候就必應允你。
Surely a people shall dwell in Zion, and in Ierusalem: thou shalt weepe no more: he wil certainly haue mercy vpon thee at the voyce of thy crye: when he heareth thee, he wil answere thee.
20 主雖然以艱難給你當餅，以困苦給你當水，你的教師卻不再隱藏；你眼必看見你的教師。
And when the Lord hath giuen you the bread of aduersitie, and the water of affliction, thy raine shalbe no more kept backe, but thine eyes shall see thy raine.
21 你或向左或向右，你必聽見後邊有聲音說：「這是正路，要行在其間。」
And thine eares shall heare a worde behind thee, saying, This is the way, walke ye in it, when thou turnest to the right hand, and when thou turnest to the left.
22 你雕刻偶像所包的銀子和鑄造偶像所鍍的金子，你要玷污，要拋棄，好像污穢之物，對偶像說：「去吧！」
And ye shall pollute the couering of the images of siluer, and the riche ornament of thine images of golde, and cast them away as a menstruous cloth, and thou shalt say vnto it, Get thee hence.
23 你將種子撒在地裏，主必降雨在其上，並使地所出的糧肥美豐盛。到那時，你的牲畜必在寬闊的草場吃草。
Then shall hee giue raine vnto thy seede, when thou shalt sowe the ground, and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shalbe fat and as oyle: in that day shall thy cattell be fed in large pastures.
24 耕地的牛和驢駒必吃加鹽的料；這料是用木杴和杈子揚淨的。
The oxen also and the yong asses, that till the ground, shall eate cleane prouender, which is winowed with the shoouel and with the fanne.
25 在大行殺戮的日子，高臺倒塌的時候，各高山岡陵必有川流河湧。
And vpon euery hie mountaine, and vpon euery hie hill shall there be riuers and streames of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers shall fall.
26 當耶和華纏裹他百姓的損處，醫治他民鞭傷的日子，月光必像日光，日光必加七倍，像七日的光一樣。
Moreouer, the light of the moone shall be as the light of the sunne, and the light of the sunne shalbe seuen folde, and like the light of seuen dayes in the day that the Lord shall binde vp the breach of his people, and heale the stroke of their wound.
27 看哪，耶和華的名從遠方來， 怒氣燒起，密煙上騰。 他的嘴唇滿有忿恨； 他的舌頭像吞滅的火。
Beholde, the Name of the Lord commeth from farre, his face is burning, and the burden thereof is heauy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a deuouring fire.
28 他的氣如漲溢的河水，直漲到頸項， 要用毀滅的篩籮篩淨列國， 並且在眾民的口中必有使人錯行的嚼環。
And his spirit is as a riuer that ouerfloweth vp to the necke: it deuideth asunder, to fanne the nations with the fanne of vanitie, and there shall be a bridle to cause them to erre in the chawes of the people.
29 你們必唱歌，像守聖節的夜間一樣，並且心中喜樂，像人吹笛，上耶和華的山，到以色列的磐石那裏。
But there shall be a song vnto you as in the night, when solemne feast is kept: and gladnes of heart, as he that commeth with a pipe to goe vnto the mount of the Lord, to the mightie one of Israel.
30 耶和華必使人聽他威嚴的聲音，又顯他降罰的膀臂和他怒中的忿恨，並吞滅的火焰與霹雷、暴風、冰雹。
And the Lord shall cause his glorious voyce to be heard, and shall declare the lighting downe of his arme with the anger of his countenance, and flame of a deuouring fire, with scattering and tempest, and hailestones.
31 亞述人必因耶和華的聲音驚惶；耶和華必用杖擊打他。
For with the voyce of the Lord shall Asshur be destroyed, which smote with the rod.
32 耶和華必將命定的杖加在他身上；每打一下，人必擊鼓彈琴。打仗的時候，耶和華必掄起手來，與他交戰。
And in euery place that ye staffe shall passe, it shall cleaue fast, which the Lord shall lay vpon him with tabrets and harpes: and with battels, and lifting vp of hands shall he fight against it.
33 原來陀斐特又深又寬，早已為王預備好了；其中堆的是火與許多木柴。耶和華的氣如一股硫磺火使他着起來。
For Tophet is prepared of olde: it is euen prepared for the King: hee hath made it deepe and large: the burning thereof is fire and much wood: the breath of the Lord, like a riuer of brimstone, doeth kindle it.
