以賽亞書 57
1 義人死亡， 無人放在心上； 虔誠人被收去， 無人思念。 這義人被收去是免了將來的禍患；
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
2 他們得享平安。 素行正直的，各人在墳裏安歇。
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
3 你們這些巫婆的兒子， 姦夫和妓女的種子， 都要前來！
But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4 你們向誰戲笑？ 向誰張口吐舌呢？ 你們豈不是悖逆的兒女， 虛謊的種類呢？
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
5 你們在橡樹中間，在各青翠樹下慾火攻心； 在山谷間，在石穴下殺了兒女；
Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
6 在谷中光滑石頭裏有你的分。 這些就是你所得的分； 你也向他澆了奠祭，獻了供物， 因這事我豈能容忍嗎？
Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a grain offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
7 你在高而又高的山上安設床榻， 也上那裏去獻祭。
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
8 你在門後，在門框後， 立起你的紀念； 向外人赤露，又上去擴張床榻， 與他們立約； 你在那裏看見他們的床就甚喜愛。
Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.
And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 你因路遠疲倦， 卻不說這是枉然； 你以為有復興之力， 所以不覺疲憊。
Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
11 你怕誰？因誰恐懼？ 竟說謊，不記念我， 又不將這事放在心上。 我不是許久閉口不言， 你仍不怕我嗎？
And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
12 我要指明你的公義； 至於你所行的都必與你無益。
I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
13 你哀求的時候， 讓你所聚集的拯救你吧！ 風要把他們颳散， 一口氣要把他們都吹去。 但那投靠我的必得地土， 必承受我的聖山為業。
When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
14 耶和華要說： 你們修築修築，預備道路， 將絆腳石從我百姓的路中除掉。
And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
15 因為那至高至上、永遠長存 名為聖者的如此說： 我住在至高至聖的所在， 也與心靈痛悔謙卑的人同居； 要使謙卑人的靈甦醒， 也使痛悔人的心甦醒。
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16 我必不永遠相爭，也不長久發怒， 恐怕我所造的人與靈性都必發昏。
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
17 因他貪婪的罪孽，我就發怒擊打他； 我向他掩面發怒， 他卻仍然隨心背道。
For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
18 我看見他所行的道，也要醫治他； 又要引導他， 使他和那一同傷心的人再得安慰。
I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
19 我造就嘴唇的果子； 願平安康泰歸與遠處的人， 也歸與近處的人； 並且我要醫治他。 這是耶和華說的。
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith Yhwh; and I will heal him.
20 惟獨惡人，好像翻騰的海， 不得平靜； 其中的水常湧出污穢和淤泥來。
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 我的上帝說：惡人必不得平安！
There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
