< 以賽亞書 65 >

1 素來沒有訪問我的,現在求問我; 沒有尋找我的,我叫他們遇見; 沒有稱為我名下的,我對他們說: 我在這裏!我在這裏!
I became manifest to them that asked not for me; I was found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold, I am [here], to a nation, who called not on my name.
2 我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓; 他們隨自己的意念行不善之道。
I have stretched forth my hands all day to a disobedient and gainsaying people, to them that walked in a way that was not good, but after their sins.
3 這百姓時常當面惹我發怒; 在園中獻祭, 在壇上燒香;
This is the people that provokes me continually in my presence; they offer sacrifices in gardens, and burn incense on bricks to devils, which exist not.
4 在墳墓間坐着, 在隱密處住宿, 吃豬肉; 他們器皿中有可憎之物做的湯;
They lie down to sleep in the tombs and in the caves for the sake of dreams, [even] they that eat swine's flesh, and the broth of [their] sacrifices: all their vessels are defiled:
5 且對人說:你站開吧! 不要挨近我,因為我比你聖潔。 主說:這些人是我鼻中的煙, 是整天燒着的火。
who say, Depart from me, draw not near to me, for I am pure. This is the smoke of my wrath, a fire burns with it continually.
6 看哪,這都寫在我面前。 我必不靜默,必施行報應, 必將你們的罪孽和你們列祖的罪孽, 就是在山上燒香, 在岡上褻瀆我的罪孽, 一同報應在他們後人懷中, 我先要把他們所行的量給他們; 這是耶和華說的。
Behold, it is written before me: I will not be silent until I have recompensed into their bosom,
7
their sins and [the sins] of their fathers, says the Lord, who have burnt incense on the mountains, and reproached me on the hills: I will recompense their works into their bosom.
8 耶和華如此說:葡萄中尋得新酒, 人就說:不要毀壞, 因為福在其中。 我因我僕人的緣故也必照樣而行, 不將他們全然毀滅。
Thus says the Lord, As a grape-stone shall be found in the cluster, and they shall say, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for the sake of him that serves me, for his sake I will not destroy [them] all.
9 我必從雅各中領出後裔, 從猶大中領出承受我眾山的。 我的選民必承受; 我的僕人要在那裏居住。
And I will lead forth the seed [that came] of Jacob and of Juda, and they shall inherit my holy mountain: and mine elect and my servants shall inherit it, and shall dwell there.
10 沙崙平原必成為羊群的圈; 亞割谷必成為牛群躺臥之處, 都為尋求我的民所得。
And there shall be in the forest folds of flocks, and the valley of Achor [shall] be for a resting-place of herds for my people, who have sought me.
11 但你們這些離棄耶和華、 忘記我的聖山、給時運擺筵席、 給天命盛滿調和酒的,
But you are they that have left me, and forget my holy mountain, and prepare a table for the devil, and fill up the drink-offering to Fortune.
12 我要命定你們歸在刀下, 都必屈身被殺; 因為我呼喚,你們沒有答應; 我說話,你們沒有聽從; 反倒行我眼中看為惡的, 揀選我所不喜悅的。
I will deliver you up to the sword, you shall all fall by slaughter: for I called you, and you listened not; I spoke, and you refused to hear; and you did evil in my sight, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
13 所以,主耶和華如此說: 我的僕人必得吃,你們卻飢餓; 我的僕人必得喝,你們卻乾渴; 我的僕人必歡喜,你們卻蒙羞。
Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall hunger: behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall thirst: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed:
14 我的僕人因心中高興歡呼, 你們卻因心中憂愁哀哭, 又因心裏憂傷哀號。
behold, my servants shall exult with joy, but you shall cry for the sorrow of your heart, and shall howl for the vexation of your spirit.
15 你們必留下自己的名, 為我選民指着賭咒。 主耶和華必殺你們, 另起別名稱呼他的僕人。
For you shall leave your name for a loathing to my chosen, and the Lord shall destroy you: but my servants shall be called by a new name,
16 這樣,在地上為自己求福的, 必憑真實的上帝求福; 在地上起誓的, 必指真實的上帝起誓。 因為,從前的患難已經忘記, 也從我眼前隱藏了。
which shall be blessed on the earth; for they shall bless the true God: and they that swear upon the earth shall swear by the true God; for they shall forget the former affliction, it shall not come into their mind.
17 看哪!我造新天新地; 從前的事不再被記念,也不再追想。
For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth: and they shall not at all remember the former, neither shall they at all come into their mind.
18 你們當因我所造的永遠歡喜快樂; 因我造耶路撒冷為人所喜, 造其中的居民為人所樂。
But they shall find in her joy and exultation; for, behold, I make Jerusalem a rejoicing, and my people a joy.
19 我必因耶路撒冷歡喜, 因我的百姓快樂; 其中必不再聽見哭泣的聲音和哀號的聲音。
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and will be glad in my people: and there shall no more be heard in her the voice of weeping, or the voice of crying.
20 其中必沒有數日夭亡的嬰孩, 也沒有壽數不滿的老者; 因為百歲死的仍算孩童, 有百歲死的罪人算被咒詛。
Neither shall there be there any more a [child that dies] untimely, or an old man who shall not complete his time: for the youth shall be a hundred years [old], and the sinner who dies at a hundred years shall also be accursed:
21 他們要建造房屋,自己居住; 栽種葡萄園,吃其中的果子。
and they shall build houses, and themselves shall dwell in [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and themselves shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 他們建造的,別人不得住; 他們栽種的,別人不得吃; 因為我民的日子必像樹木的日子; 我選民親手勞碌得來的必長久享用。
They shall by no means build, and others inhabit; and they shall by no means plant, and others eat: for as the days of the tree of life shall be the days of my people, they shall long enjoy the fruits of their labours.
23 他們必不徒然勞碌, 所生產的,也不遭災害, 因為都是蒙耶和華賜福的後裔; 他們的子孫也是如此。
My chosen shall not toil in vain, neither shall they beget children to be cursed; for they are a seed blessed of God, and their offspring with them.
24 他們尚未求告,我就應允; 正說話的時候,我就垂聽。
And it shall come to pass, [that] before they call, I will listen to them; while they are yet speaking, I will say, What is it?
25 豺狼必與羊羔同食; 獅子必吃草與牛一樣; 塵土必作蛇的食物。 在我聖山的遍處, 這一切都不傷人,不害物。 這是耶和華說的。
Then wolves and lambs shall feed together, and the lion shall eat chaff like the ox, and the serpent earth as bread. They shall not injure nor destroy in my holy mountain, says the Lord.
