< 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 have bene sought of them that asked not: I was found of them that sought me not: I sayd, Beholde me, beholde me, vnto a nation that called not vpon 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 haue spred out mine handes all the day vnto a rebellious people, which walked in a way that was not good, euen after their owne imaginations:
3 這百姓時常當面惹我發怒; 在園中獻祭, 在壇上燒香;
A people that prouoked me euer vnto my face: that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense vpon brickes.
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;
Which remaine among the graues, and lodge in the desarts, which eate swines flesh, and the broth of things polluted are in their vessels.
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。
Which say, Stand apart, come not neere to me: for I am holier then thou: these are a smoke in my wrath and a fire that burneth all the day.
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。
Beholde, it is written before me: I wil not keepe silence, but will render it and recompense it into their bosome.
Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers shalbe together (sayth the Lord) which haue burnt incense vpon the mountaines, and blasphemed me vpon the hilles: therefore wil I measure their olde worke into their bosome.
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 sayth the Lord, As the wine is found in the cluster, and one sayth, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it, so will I doe for my seruants sakes, that I may not destroy them whole.
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。
But I will bring a seede out of Iaakob, and out of Iudah, that shall inherit my mountaine: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my seruants 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 Sharon shalbe a sheepefolde, and the valley of Achor shalbe a resting place for the cattell of my people, that haue 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 ye are they that haue forsaken the Lord and forgotten mine holy Mountaine, and haue prepared a table for the multitude, and furnish the drinke offerings vnto the number.
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。
Therefore wil I number you to the sword, and all you shall bowe downe to the slaughter, because I called, and ye did not answere: I spake, and ye heard not, but did euil in my sight, and did chuse that thing which I would 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 saith the Lord God, Beholde, my seruants shall eate, and ye shalbe hungrie: beholde, my seruants shall drinke, and ye shall be thirstie: beholde, my seruants shall reioyce, and ye shalbe 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。
Beholde, my seruants shall sing for ioye of heart, and ye shall crye for sorow of heart, and shall howle for vexation of minde.
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。
And ye shall leaue your name as a curse vnto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay you and call his seruants by another 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。
He that shall blesse in the earth, shall blesse himselfe in the true God, and he that sweareth in the earth, shall sweare by the true God: for the former troubles are forgotten, and shall surely hide themselues from mine eyes.
17 看哪!我造新天新地; 從前的事不再被記念,也不再追想。
For lo, I will create newe heauens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembred nor come into minde.
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 be you glad and reioyce for euer in the things that I shall create: for beholde, I will create Ierusalem, as a reioycing and her people as a ioye,
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 wil reioyce in Ierusalem, and ioye in my people, and the voyce of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voyce 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。
There shall be no more there a childe of yeeres, nor an olde man that hath not filled his dayes: for he that shall be an hundreth yeeres old, shall dye as a yong man: but the sinner being an hundreth yeeres olde shall 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 inhabite them, and they shall plant vineyards, and eate the fruite of them.
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 not build, and another inhabite: they shall not plant, and another eate: for as the dayes of the tree are the dayes of my people, and mine elect shall inioye in olde age the worke of their handes.
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。
They shall not labour in vaine, nor bring forth in feare: for they are the seede of the blessed of the Lord, and their buds with them.
24 他們尚未求告,我就應允; 正說話的時候,我就垂聽。
Yea, before they call, I will answere, and whiles they speake, I will heare.
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。
The wolfe and the lambe shall feede together, and the lyon shall eate strawe like the bullocke: and to the serpent dust shall be his meate. They shall no more hurt nor destroy in all mine holy Mountaine, saith the Lord.
