以賽亞書 47
1 巴比倫的處女啊， 下來坐在塵埃； 迦勒底的閨女啊， 沒有寶座，要坐在地上； 因為你不再稱為柔弱嬌嫩的。
Come downe and sit in the dust: O virgine, daughter Babel, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, Tender and delicate.
2 要用磨磨麵， 揭去帕子， 脫去長衣，露腿詵河。
Take the mill stones, and grinde meale: loose thy lockes: make bare the feete: vncouer the legge, and passe through the floods.
3 你的下體必被露出； 你的醜陋必被看見。 我要報仇， 誰也不寬容。
Thy filthinesse shall be discouered, and thy shame shall be seene: I will take vengeance, and I will not meete thee as a man.
4 我們救贖主的名是 萬軍之耶和華－以色列的聖者。
Our redeemer, the Lord of hostes is his Name, the holy one of Israel.
5 迦勒底的閨女啊， 你要默然靜坐，進入暗中， 因為你不再稱為列國的主母。
Sit still, and get thee into darkenesse, O daughter of the Chaldeas: for thou shalt no more be called, The ladie of kingdomes.
6 我向我的百姓發怒， 使我的產業被褻瀆， 將他們交在你手中， 你毫不憐憫他們， 把極重的軛加在老年人身上。
I was wroth with my people: I haue polluted mine inheritance, and giuen them into thine had: thou diddest shew them no mercy, but thou didest lay thy very heauy yoke vpon the ancient.
7 你自己說：我必永為主母， 所以你不將這事放在心上， 也不思想這事的結局。
And thou saidest, I shall be a ladie for euer, so that thou diddest not set thy mind to these things, neither diddest thou remember ye latter end therof.
8 你這專好宴樂、安然居住的， 現在當聽這話。 你心中說：惟有我， 除我以外再沒有別的。 我必不致寡居， 也不遭喪子之事。
Therefore nowe heare, thou that art giuen to pleasures, and dwellest carelesse, Shee sayeth in her heart, I am and none els: I shall not sit as a widowe, neither shall knowe the losse of children.
9 哪知，喪子、寡居這兩件事 在一日轉眼之間必臨到你； 正在你多行邪術、廣施符咒的時候， 這兩件事必全然臨到你身上。
But these two thinges shall come to thee suddenly on one day, the losse of children and widowhoode: they shall come vpon thee in their perfection, for the multitude of thy diuinations, and for the great abundance of thine inchanters.
10 你素來倚仗自己的惡行，說： 無人看見我。 你的智慧聰明使你偏邪， 並且你心裏說：惟有我， 除我以外再沒有別的。
For thou hast trusted in thy wickednesse: thou hast sayd, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, they haue caused thee to rebel, and thou hast saide in thine heart, I am, and none els.
11 因此，禍患要臨到你身； 你不知何時發現， 災害落在你身上， 你也不能除掉； 所不知道的毀滅也必忽然臨到你身。
Therefore shall euill come vpon thee, and thou shalt not knowe the morning thereof: destruction shall fal vpon thee, which thou shalt not be able to put away: destruction shall come vpon thee suddenly, or thou beware.
12 站起來吧！ 用你從幼年勞神施行的符咒和你許多的邪術； 或者可得益處， 或者可得強勝。
Stand now among thine inchanters, and in the multitude of thy southsaiers (with whome thou hast wearied thy selfe from thy youth) if so be thou maist haue profit, or if so be thou maist haue strength.
13 你籌劃太多，以致疲倦。 讓那些觀天象的，看星宿的， 在月朔說預言的，都站起來， 救你脫離所要臨到你的事。
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the starre gasers, and prognosticatours stand vp, and saue thee from these things, that shall come vpon thee.
14 他們要像碎稭被火焚燒， 不能救自己脫離火焰之力； 這火並非可烤的炭火， 也不是可以坐在其前的火。
Beholde, they shall be as stubble: the fire shall burne them: they shall not deliuer their owne liues from the power of the flame: there shalbe no coles to warme at, nor light to sit by.
15 你所勞神的事都要這樣與你無益； 從幼年與你貿易的也都各奔各鄉，無人救你。
Thus shall they serue thee, with whom thou hast wearied thee, euen thy marchants from thy youth: euery one shall wander to his owne quarter: none shall saue thee.
