< 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;
A iust man perischith, and noon is, that thenkith in his herte; and men of merci ben gaderid togidere, for noon is that vndurstondith; for whi a iust man is gaderid fro the face of malice.
Pees come, reste he in his bed, that yede in his dressyng.
3 你們這些巫婆的兒子, 姦夫和妓女的種子, 都要前來!
But ye, sones of the sekere of fals dyuynyng bi chiteryng of briddys, neiye hidur, the seed of auowtresse, and of an hoore.
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?
On whom scorneden ye? on whom maden ye greet the mouth, and puttiden out the tunge? Whethir ye ben not cursid sones, a seed of leesyngis?
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;
which ben coumfortid in goddis, vndur ech tree ful of bowis, and offren litle children in strondis, vndur hiye stoonys.
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?
Thi part is in the partis of the stronde, this is thi part; and to tho thou scheddist out moist offryng, thou offridist sacrifice. Whether Y schal not haue indignacioun on these thingis?
7 你在高而又高的山上安設床榻, 也上那裏去獻祭。
Thou puttidist thi bed on an hiy hil and enhaunsid, and thidur thou stiedist to offre sacrifices;
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。
and thou settidist thi memorial bihynde the dore, and bihynde the post. For bisidis me thou vnhilidist, and tokist auouter; thou alargidist thi bed, and madist a boond of pees with hem; thou louedist the bed of hem with openyd hond,
9 你把油帶到王那裏, 又多加香料, 打發使者往遠方去, 自卑自賤直到陰間, (Sheol )
and ournedist thee with kyngis oynement, and thou multipliedist thi pymentis; thou sentist fer thi messangeris, and thou art maad low `til to hellis. (Sheol )
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 trauelidist in the multitude of thi weie, and seidist not, Y schal reste; thou hast founde the weie of thin hond,
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?
therfor thou preiedist not. For what thing dreddist thou bisy, for thou liedist, and thouytist not on me? And thou thouytist not in thin herte, that Y am stille, and as not seynge; and thou hast foryete me.
12 我要指明你的公義; 至於你所行的都必與你無益。
Y schal telle thi riytfulnesse, and thi werkis schulen not profite to 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。
Whanne thou schalt crie, thi gaderid tresours delyuere thee; and the wynd schal take awei alle tho, a blast schal do awei hem; but he that hath trist on me, schal enherite the lond, and schal haue in possessioun myn hooli hil.
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 Y schal seie, Make ye weie, yyue ye iurney, bowe ye fro the path, do ye awei hirtyngis fro the weie of my puple.
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 the Lord hiy, and enhaunsid, seith these thingis, that dwellith in euerlastyngnesse, and his hooli name in hiy place, and that dwellith in hooli, and with a contrite and meke spirit, that he quykene the spirit of meke men, and quykene the herte of contrit men.
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 Y schal not stryue with outen ende, nether Y schal be wrooth `til to the ende; for whi a spirit schal go out fro my face, and Y schal make blastis.
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。
Y was wrooth for the wickidnesse of his aueryce, and Y smoot hym. Y hidde my face fro thee, and Y hadde indignacioun; and he yede with out stidfast dwellyng, in the weie of his herte.
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。
Y siy hise weies, and Y helide hym, and Y brouyte hym ayen; and Y yaf coumfortyngis to hym, and to the moreneris of hym.
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。
Y made the fruyt of lippis pees, pees to hym that is fer, and to hym that is niy, seide the Lord; and Y heelide hym.
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 wickid men ben as the buyling see, that may not reste; and the wawis therof fleten ayen in to defoulyng, and fen.
The Lord God seide, Pees is not to wickid men.
